    Pretty graphics, dated art direction, lacking any destructability and physics. The open sections are empty and pointless, game in reality is the same old gears we have seen many times before. HDR is a highlight and is very well done and the game is definitely a step up from Gears 4.

    I wavered between a 6 and 7 on this game. I was a huge gears fan from the original through gears 3. Gears 4 was decent with the exception of the random loot boxes and the season pass. I had high hopes for Gears 5. The best word to describe Gears 5 at launch is stingy. Hardly any skins for characters, weapons, and only about 7 maps.

The Gears 4 loot box horror is over, but the micro transactions are still bad. Initially Gears 5 was pushing their iron currency, but then later changed some items to cash only. Buying iron early on with cash while it was on sale only to see that some items went cash only, was pretty crappy. Gears 5 reminds me of a free to play game that survives, maybe thrives, based on some gamers buying micro transactions. Problem is, they sell the game for normal price, unless you use game pass. Maybe the fact that it released for free on Gamepass is why it was so stingy at launch with content.… Expand

    The game is incredibly glitchy. Some funny, others game breaking. Story good, albeit predictable and spoiled by the marketing materiel at points, and the gameplay is solid. The open world is empty, the puzzles are shallow. Graphics are good. The servers are kind of bad as of posting this.

If you're a Gears of war fan (old or new) you should definitely pick it up, it's the best Gears of war game since Gears 3 seriously. I just finished the first Act and i can tell you that this act alone beats Gears 4 in its entirety. Action
    PACKED with great new mechanics (not highlighted in gameplay videos) exploration, the story looks interesting, with good dialogues, emotional moments, great score.

The sheer amount of bugs in the game warrant significant score decreases alone. Since launch I have been unable to complete a full Escape or multiplayer match without being booted from the game due to the shoddy online service being woefully unprepared for the game's (staggered!) launch. The power taps in Horde mode often drop under textures making them impossible to interact with -- the problem sometimes corrects itself when they're destroyed and can be respawned. The same thing happens with some of the fortification textures. Campaign is not free from bugs either, from the infinite load bug (which requires a full console reset to fix) to the X interact not functioning bug.

    That's before getting into the lackluster story and so-so gameplay that's more schizophrenic than ever. The Coalition couldn't decide whether they wanted a linear cover shooter (which is what made Gears popular in the first place) or an open world collect-a-thon, so they tried to incorporate both. Poorly. Cross-play multiplayer between console and PC in Gears 4 was a crapfest, so it comes as no surprise that all of the same issues (and more) exist this time around as well.

    Sure, it's still decent, even with the political pandering being wielded like a bludgeon by the story writers, but is it on the same level as the original three? Not even close.    … Expand

    Unplayable at launch for PC players...

    I already regret purchasing this title. I can think of nothing more frustrating than not being able to play your game when you intentionally setup your day to do so. Some of us don’t have 7 days to play because of work. Regardless of where things go from here, the experience is already a bad one.

    Look anyone who likes Horde tends to compare it to Overwatch now in Gears 5. I'm sorry but I'm not looking to play Overwatch, I never will be looking to play it and I personally hate they are trying to put overwatch style mechanics into Gears.    … Expand

    I don’t see the hype.
    I’ve been a playstation guy my whole life, Ive never owned an xbox, but thanks to Microsofts decision to make their exclusives available on pc, im able to experience this side of the tracks, and I was so excited to do so, I never played a Gears of War Game, so I sat down on youtube, got a story recap and hopped in… This is a 3rd person shooter that takes    Gears 5

    I’ve been a playstation guy my whole life, Ive never owned an xbox, but thanks to Microsofts decision to make their exclusives available on pc, im able to experience this side of the tracks, and I was so excited to do so, I never played a Gears of War Game, so I sat down on youtube, got a story recap and hopped in…
    This is a 3rd person shooter that takes places after the events of gears of war 3 and 4.. you get part of the story at the beginning of this game…
    I wasn’t too attached or interested after the intial run down, but still hyped for the gameplay, the tutroal starts, the game is having me look up to determine my input preferences, that alone had me excited for how neat this game was going to be…
    But I just never was blown away…
    The story telling and level design is just so bland.. nothing took my breath away or made me feel like wow, this is what ive been missing all of these years… I do love the weapon variety.. but when it comes down to combat, controls here are so unintuitive that it just constantly pulls you out of the game…
    its okay to have the same control scheme as call of duty… they have it down… I don’t want to hold a buttown down to run, let me just click my stick… the fast reload mechanic makes you take your eye off of the action.. all of the mechanic decisions just makes me feel like Im juggling as Im shooting.
    Throughout this 12 hour campaign yo udo have a little squad with you that changes as the story progresses.. and these members can be controlled by real people locally and online…which is what I highly advise…
    As the ai here is completely useless…
    Dels the type of guy to yell “nows our chance shoot his back!” And not do ****
    Amking these drawnout unfun boss battles even more unfun and frustrating at times as you die over and over…
    Does the boss know where I am Del?
    That’s probably because im the only one of use shooting any bullets.
    Who isn’t useless though is your robot companion jack…
    He sticks with you through the end as youre searching the world to upgrade his abilities that are unlocked as the story progresses…
    back to the mechanics issues though.. shuffling through jacks abilities mid combat or even post or pre combat is unintuitive and feels like a jumbled jumbled mess
    but jack is easily my favorite part of this game…
    Its just a shame that jack is the only incentive to explore though…
    The world and level design here in Gears 5 again is just so bland, so uninteresting and boring…
    there are a couple open world sections of the game where you can go explore a little if youd like.. but again.. nothing about this world made me care to do so…
    another giant issue I had with this games campaign is its awful progression indicators in story…
    don’t dare pause the game and com back to it later, because youl lhave no idea what youre supposed to be doing… Gears 5 does put little markers on the map for you to go to… but I would much prefer they put them on items im supposed to be interacting with instead of running around in circles looking for a switch or door with a footprint or hand print on it… it breaks the flow, takes me out of the world.. its just bad game design…
    And when it comes to performance, Gears 5 is awful on PC..
    I ran into constant crashes and Act 2 made the game completely unplayable.. literally… after searching the internet, ive discovered that this is not an uncommon issue.. updating all of my drivers did fix the crashing issue for me, but the game still stutters when too much is going on on screen.. I missed half of the final cutscene because it was stuck… I had to go to youtube to rewatch the ending.. and wouldn’t you know their cutscene video was lagging too.
    Online here is pretty typical fun third person shooter competitive stuff…
    Entertaining, nothing really wrong with it but nothing here to keep me hooked.. I felt no urge to play after playing for review purposes.. again like the campaign really bland.
    Gears 5 is a good game… But as a flagship exclusive from microsoft… I feel that xbox loyalists deserve better
    Theres nothing here to incentivize a purchase other than the continuation of a beloved franchise…
    And If you are buying to continue the story, I would recommend the xbox version over the pc so you can actually see it all.

    New Gears does a great job of giving you a lot of challenges to take on together all while enjoying the beautiful and colorful landscapes peppered with the oil of drones you devastated and the blood of Locust you've fed some bullets. The plot is interesting enough, and the characters seem to behave very naturally which adds up to the credibility of the world.

    But I simply couldn't enjoy the game because of how it's riddled with bugs and server issues. Every single session we had there were at least two times (often this number could go up to 5-6 times for a 2-hour session) we needed to restart the game because we've stumbled upon a game-breaking bug or the connection was lost.

    I'm going to come back to the game in a month or two to finish the campaign and update the review. But for now, I can't recommend this title to anyone who was planning to enjoy it with a friend.    … Expand

I've been in rooms where the mcguffin wouldn't activate, even though I could clearly see it. First time through on Horde mode, I got to wave 35 and the screen went blank and the game completely crashed. I would score this a 8-9 out of 10 if the servers were operational and the crashes were not happening. I will try this on PC, since I got the Game Pass.

    Multiplayer on the other hands, I've always said the multiplayer is awful nothing changes at all. The type of gameplay is just a shotgun fest with no real skill, the different type of plays in the game i.e. mid-range and long-range combat seems to be completely ignored. The multiplayer is left very linear and unskilled in the action that you're forced to rinse and repeat i.e. hug round a blind sight and one shot someone who gets too close to you with the gnasher. The game will never really touch a high level remaining with this sort of gameplay.    … Expand

It is so god awfully behind the curb of other franchises which are actually trying to spice things up, Gears 5 doesn't even try to innovate beyond making its name shorter.

    Nearly a month after launch, Gears 5 is still very buggy, with characters getting stuck in scenery, easily getting sucked behind unfinished invisible barriers, and triggers that don't activate. The new 'third player' slot, Jack, is responsible for most of this, with his triggers not appearing sometimes, and his "floating" movement being so poorly programmed that he gets stuck on level terrain in places. Mind you, this is a character that doesn't ever touch the floor. Not to mention cutscenes that don't even trigger if you're playing as Jack.

    The story is worse than Gears of War 3. There's no plot until over halfway through, and all the plot that's introduced about 4 hours into the game just works up the presumed protagonist for Gears 6. Gears 5 is so bad, however, I would think only Microsoft's cash injections could save the series from the scrap pile. In any case, the game introduces or reintroduces side characters, kills them off, tells you to be sad about it, and then they're never mentioned again. Rinse and repeat for nearly every chapter. Ultimately, it ends on the worst cliffhanger I have ever, ever seen.

    The multiplayer is standard Gears of War fair with introduced casual modes that take the original Gears of War flavor of 'getting destroyed by the host' and uses server pockets to make the ping variation between players less frustrating. Being another third person game, however, with barely any competitive scene, I have no idea why you'd chose to play this over Fortnite, which runs on the same engine and has effectively the same gameplay besides building and "rodeo running."    … Expand

    La zona abierta de nieve y desierto sobran totalmente se siente forzada para alargar el juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has blown me away on changes, but these changes can very between good and bad, the reload button shouldn't be your bayonet or chainsaw, and the knife melee is too ridiculous beyond a reasonable doubt. This game suffers from the store and the iron currency they have implemented and they over price these item's like it's a F2P game. Horde doesn't seem like it made much improvement and has very little customization in it, I can't help but notice I can't choose my skin with a certain play style. The gameplay and the look of the game is amazing, the campaign, my most favorite in the series, and although the open world was meat, you're just trying to get out of the skiff to get to the next mission.… Expand

    - Serviceable PvP. ( Gears has decent PvP, it just isnt for me). Hate PvE in any game.

    Cons:
    - Kate is boring.
    - I found it also attributed to me finding the story boring. Second half of the game dragged on.. i just wanted it to end.

    This game almost changed my opinion of the gears franchise, but alas the second half was dreadful.

    Gears 5 could very well end up being among the best in the series over time, but only if Coalition manages to patch its many problematic technical issues that is currently destroying an otherwise excellent package. As of right now, I just can't recommend it at full price. It's fun when everything works, but this may be the buggiest launch of any triple-A video game this year.

    Coalition took some interesting steps for this sequel, but sadly, they fall short of previous iterations. The newer characters, despite now having two games to be developed across, are far less interesting than the originals (Del and JD are both such a bore). This impacts the narrative also, which despite some interesting story threads, does not hit home in the same way because of these characters. The game is just not as gritty or as dark as previous games. Furthermore, the new weapons added this time around are far less satisfying or useful than previous additions. The open world design in the game's two biggest Acts, like the case with Metro Exodus earlier this year, ruins the tempo and has little genuine benefit to reward the exploration. Jack's ability's, although neat, are far from necessary to progress.

    The variety in multiplayer modes, a strength throughout the series, is maintained here. Each offering something different. Having only 7 maps in Versus is a real disappointment however, and these multiplayer maps are missing the dynamic features seen previously, resulting in Versus specifically, feeling like a step backwards. Lastly, there are very few customisation options at launch.

    Overall, its a good game despite my criticisms, and nice addition to the series. Its just moved away slightly from what i believe made the series so great.    … Expand

    The competitive mode it’s the same as the previous game, it’s just great, the maps tho, they feel so constrained, I prefer the ones that have more open spaces and gives you more ground to cover. It’s an ok game, but not the amazingness I was expecting.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ALLERTA SPOILER.
    Inizio dicendo che sono un fan sfegatato della saga. ho giocato tutti i capitoli e sto finendo di leggere i libri.

    Partiamo parlando della sceneggiatura: il gioco parte come un classico gears ed è diviso in solamente IV atti, a mio giudizio troppo pochi per poter dare molta trama anche nel caso fossero lunghissimi. A peggiorare questo aspetto c'è l'elemento open world, tanto acclamato e presentato come "rivoluzionario". Chi pensa che questo elemento sia degno di plauso è evidente che non ha visto il video "L'open world è una cosa bella" di Croix89, in quanto Gears NON è mai stato inteso come open world! Essendo un gioco che si basava sullo sviluppare la trama in capitoli ben distinti in aree diverse, questo elemento sarebbe risultato troppo dispersivo, cosa che è accaduta in questo capitolo.
    Il gioco ha ritmi troppo irregolari, inizialmente frenetico all'inizio, calmo nelle zone open world e poi un capitolo finale che sembra da fare in 5 minuti, con sparatorie ed esplosioni che manco Michael Bay; tutto per arrivare ad un finale IDENTICO a quello del 4, ovvero con boss fight senza senso e senza scopo nella trama e con un'inquadratura finale sul personaggio di Kait e sul suo ciondolo,
    sottolineando la poca creatività dimostrata dalla Coalition a differenza di Epic Games.
    P.S. :qualcuno mi deve spiegare com'è possibile che nella cutscene finale NESSUNO si chieda dov'è Clayton, personaggio amato da tutti sin dal 3o capitolo e che ha combattuto nella boss fight finale insieme agli altri gears. È impensabile che nessuno si chieda dov'è il proprio commilitone dopo una scena simile.
    P.P.S: L'unico personaggio femminile realmente interessante presentato nel nuovo gioco si chiamava Lizzie...morta nel primo atto....non aggiungo altro.

    TRAMA:
    Di trama ce n'è TROPPO POCA. Si scopre solo che Kait è la nipote di Myrrah (cosa ovvia annunciata nel 4), Che Myrrah e le locuste sono figli di esperimenti (in un luogo già visto in gears 1), che Reyna è la nuova regina, che JD sia figlio di strani esperimenti (solo dialoghi, niente di spiegato se non nei collezionabili) e che JD o Del muoia. FINE. Non si scopre null'altro di significante o di interessante.
    E il problema maggiore è che queste scene si vedono solo nei momenti in cui Gears 5 si ricorda di essere un GEARS ovvero mantenendo la modalità di sceneggiatura dei vecchi capitoli e non in quegli insulsi livelli open world.

    LIVELLI OPEN WORLD:
    i due capitoli open world sono dispersivi ed insignificanti per la trama. Si tratta di due missioni circa utili ma che impiegano un sacco di tempo; tempo che poteva essere gestito MOLTO meglio con quest che arricchiscano la lore.
    La seconda zona è un reskin in versione rossa della prima e in TUTTO il gioco ci sono circa 7 MISSIONI SECONDARIE. SETTE. Che non danno, come dicevo, nessun tipo di approfondimento di trama se non una, quella nella zona innevata riguardante i due arenati (che ora si chiamano estranei per ragioni a noi sconosciute) scappati dall'accampamento di Oscar.

    ARMI: SONO POCHE! TROPPO POCHE!. In questo capitolo hanno tolto circa metà delle armi presenti nel roaster completo della saga aggiungendo solamente: CLAW. L'arma più insulsa mai pensata, pure peggio dell'Hammerburst nel primo capitolo, La Talon: un reskin della Gorgon, La mazza Breaker carina ma nulla di più, e il GL: unica arma degna di nota e con un senso. Per il resto nessun'arma nuova, deludente.

    PERSONAGGI:
    Kait: partita come simpatica nel 4, ora è una edgy-teen che no fa altro che ricordare che lei ha problemi, che soffre e che è la protagonista. Decisamente poco carismatica (come un po' tutta la nuova squadra Delta) rispetto al vecchio leader Marcus.
    JD: presentato come protagonista del 4, ora ha subito ferite e viene trattato da str.... da tutti. Si riprende un po' a metà gioco. Ne male ne bene.
    Fahz: partito come personaggio veramente orribile devo dire che migliora parecchio e dà un tocco di menefreghismo e sfacciataggine buono nella squadra.
    Del: decisamente carismatico e un po' sapientino, in ottimo contrasto con Fahz. È stato un peccato ucciderlo.
    Marcus: pressoché inutile se non per dare consigli a Kait e Del nelle fasi iniziali.
    Baird: ha mantenuto il suo fascino e carattere; buono.
    Paduk: ritorno inaspettato e gradevole, ha mantenuto il suo atteggiamento menefreghista e anti COG.
    Jinn: ah era nel gioco? forse un paio di minuti, ma che ruolo vuoi mai pretendere dal capo dei COG?

    GAMEPLAY: invariato e buono come ogni gears deve mostrare, nulla da dire tranne sul fatto che la motosega sia sul tasto di ricarica, molto scomodo.

    Per concludere vorrei dire che pretendevo molto di più da questo gioco e ringrazio il cielo di non averlo pagato 70€ perché stando a quanto visto, non li merita assolutamente.    … Expand

    Fun game but campaign is riddled with game breaking bugs, making it unplayable whilst all the focus goes on the season pass and multilayer.

    Story was weak. No any new game play element. Semi open world game is unnecessary

    Gears 5 supone un cambio en la forma de contar su historia, pero más allá de eso falla en su ejecución pues su mundo se siente vacío y con misiones secundarias aburridas y que frenan mucho la experiencia.

También Kait funciona como una excelente protagonista y el nuevo rumbo que la historia necesitaba dejando a un lado la historia de los Fénix que concluyó hace mucho con la tercera entrega y que tristemente JD no supo cómo continuarla. Puedo decir con tranquilidad que es el mejor en su gameplay al hacerlo mas cómodo y menos pesado a la hora de cubrirte y apretar el gatillo, pero aun así no deja de ser el refrito del gameplay de Gears Of War 3 y que ya no plantea nada nuevo a la hora de la verdad. Gears también cae en una insaciable repetición de su narrativa y que su único modo de hacer avanzar la historia es con los descendientes de antiguos personajes como si de la nueva trilogía de Star Wars se tratase. Personalmente creo que esta saga debe concluir antes de que termine enterrada en el recuerdo de lo que fue.… Expand

    Es un buen juego, no es el mejor de la saga pero cumple, aunque la historia no es la mejor el modo multijugador es entretenido y mantiene la esencia.
    Si eres fan de la saga te lo recomiendo, y si tienes gamepass pruebalo a ver si te gusta.

    Combat is fun and still as enjoyable as ever, but aside from the original characters the new characters are just missing something. Kait is solid, but JD is still lame. The "open" area is supposed to make Gears 5 feel bigger, but it's probably the worst area of the game.

    Cross play with PC should always be an option to turn off. Never mandatory.

    Smoking is bad for you, but bullets and Lancer Chainsaws are just fine. Gears "of War" is just too controversial. So lets slim it down to Gears. No, it's Gears of War. So glad Rod Ferguson left, wish Cliffy B would come back and save Gears of War    … Expand

    Tecnicamente es muy bueno, graficos e ilumincación. Me gustó que salieron mapas del Gears 2. Lo que no me gustó fue la histora, pienso que esta mal estructurada, los personajes no muestran un desarrollo en la trama. El argumento es bajo y sin lógica en comparación a las 3 primeras entregas del Gears of war.

    El personaje principal de Gears 5 pareciera que fuera invensible y que siempre gana, esto en mi parecer es lo que pasa en muchas nuevas peliculas actuales, que tratan de crear personajes invencibles, reveldes y que no presentan desarrollo y se sabe como terminara todo.

    El multijugador está bien y a 60 FPS en XONE y en XSeries X a 120 FPS hace una agradable experiencia y el modo Horda mejoró en comparación al desastre de Gears of war 4.

    Espero que The Coalition en sus proximas secuelas mejoren la coerencia y diseño del modo campaña y si presentan nuevos personajes principales no creen el estereotipo de empoderamiento. haciendo al personaje predecible aburrido y antipatico.    … Expand

    Good visuals.
    Campaign is a bit rubbish. The characters don't really get any complete or resonant arcs. The story is literally an entire games worth of fetch quests. The only meaningful story beat doesn't even get time to breathe.
    Repetitive gameplay. It's a relatively fun action game but truly a 360 era game. I liked that the open world was short and sweet, but they're all go here and do    Good visuals.

    Bit overhyped. That being said runs really well on xbsx with minimal frame drops. Quite buggy with some pop in.

    It's more Gears which you already know if it is for you or not. Decent enough title but for me, just too much more of the same and the open world sections only served to pad out the play time whilst adding nothing to the genre. Gunplay is great as always and the graphics are top notch.

    I really wanted to like this game, I truly did. It starts out pretty great, but once I got to chapter 2 I just lost my desire to keep going. Came back a few months later to finish it after being spoiled by some **** on the internet and.. yep I see why I put it down for so long. The graphics are the best part of this game easily, but I think I still prefer Gears 4’s aesthetic compared to 5.I really wanted to like this game, I truly did.

The graphics are the best part of this game easily, but I think I still prefer Gears 4’s aesthetic compared to 5. But I really can’t praise much else here. It’s a serviceable shooter, the minor changes they made to combat somehow turned me off from the shooting here. But when most enemies are bullet sponges, you just kinda brainlessly shoot until they explode. Really not engaging gameplay here guys. The story is ok I guess? I feel like I need to play the trilogy still to get some of the deeper plot here but I don’t think that would help at this point lol. Kait’s story is interesting, but as a character I just don’t find her that interesting. Same with the rest of the cast honestly, aside from Marcus obviously. When he told Fahz to stfu, that was probably the best part of the game. Overall, I just really didn’t have fun with this entry. I don’t think I’d ever play it again honestly.… Expand

    O plot que foi sendo criado no 4 resulta em uma história legal no 5, mas algumas coisas parecem não fechar. O multiplayer (maior ponto forte da franquia) ficou desinteressante, chato, superficial. Perdeu a magia que os jogos anteriores trouxeram.

    It also includes two very open areas which you can explore in order to unlock new abilities or learn more things about the world. There aren't many things you can't do in them, and the side quests are very generic, but it's a nice attempt to make the game more re-playable and fun.

    Lastly, the game takes a while to pick up, the pacing is sometimes weak and the desert area drags quite a lot, but in the end it's definitely a worthwhile experience.

    As for the multiplayer, it works well, there's a decent amount of game modes to choose from, and there are many customization options.

    Gears 5 is an odd thing; it's neither a grand leap forwards, nor a complete rehash of what came before, and therefore sits somewhere in the middle of the two. On the whole, the improvements do outweigh the negatives (the non-linear approach to campaign levels and the small changes to horde mode being some of the most notable), and while The Coalition still has some work to do to really make the series its own, this is a far bolder and more varied approach the relatively safe Gears 4. If you love shooters and you want a good place to jump back into the series, this is perfect place to work the rust out of your lancer.

    Gears 5 offers a solid portion of brutal action with several refreshing new things. If you have intentionally avoided games from this series, the fifth sequel probably won´t change your mind, but if you are looking for a quality action game and you are still a fan of multiplayer, try it.

    Gears 5 proposes a breathtaking solo campaign and a generous array of multiplayer modes. Even if the recipe remains classic, we really want to go through with it. The characters are rather well written, the environments are often spectacular, and Jack the robot adds some salt to the gameplay. A visual feast and glorious action game that perfectly demonstrate Xbox One X's true power.
