    I'll say it right now. This is the best Gears since 3. Judgment and 4 were just alright in my opinion. Gears 5 Really has that 1-3 feel of the dominating Locust threat and it feels RELENTLESS with the action and doomed Cog fate. This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL in the visual department, sound, music, gameplay, set pieces, etc.

    I haven't had one issue with bugs or anything but that may

This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL in the visual department, sound, music, gameplay, set pieces, etc.

    I haven't had one issue with bugs or anything but that may be because I just got the game yesterday and maybe it's been patched and what not. But, I can't stop playing the campaign and I'm on Act 3 already in 4 hours play time. It's that good. I'm also playing on beginner which is fun for me, but there are still the higher difficulties as well. I have had no issues with the vehicle sections so far, that others have mentioned. Nothing has taken away from my experience.

    This is a MUST PLAY Microsoft exclusive, and it runs PERFECT on my new limited edition Gears 5 Xbox One X console!

    After spending the past few days playing through the entirety of Gears 5's campaign, I have to say that this is easily one of the better entries in the series. It was nice to see some of the changes Coalition made to Gears, however, I do feel a bit mixed towards some of the changes (the open-ish areas, for example). Overall I can say that the story had me griped in from start to finishAfter spending the past few days playing through the entirety of Gears 5's campaign, I have to say that this is easily one of the better entries in the series. It was nice to see some of the changes Coalition made to Gears, however, I do feel a bit mixed towards some of the changes (the open-ish areas, for example). Overall I can say that the story had me griped in from start to finish just to see exactly where things would play out, and by the end of the game I felt a lot more interested in the world Coalition seems to be trying to build on here versus how I felt whilst playing through the previous Gears entry (Gears of War 4, which I found to be decent but no where near as good as the entries produced by Epic Games). Gameplay wise, everything in the game is standard for the whole Gears formula, which is fine - if it isn't broke there is no need to change it. Every mechanic in the game feels incredibly satisfying for a series that hasn't really strayed all that much away from its roots.

    The only negative that I have towards Gears 5 is the open area portions of the campaign. As much as its cool that they did at least try to attempt to change the linear nature of Gears by introducing a larger map to explore, there wasn't really a whole lot to it. It just felt tacked on, like the side areas were completely pointless unless you wanted to find upgrades for Jack and random collectibles (which were completely optional anyway). All it really did was make me appreciate the linear parts of the game a lot more, I felt that was where the game shined very well. I just wasn't a fan of the open areas, they seemed to just drag out the game more with redundant collecting and time wasting that didn't really add anything towards the gameplay except for an excuse to have a random sled to ride around on (the skiff).

    There isn't a lot that I felt detracted from Gears 5, it's an amazing game and definitely one that I can recommend. It helps that it's on Game Pass right now, definitely a solid game worth playing if you have the availability!

    Campaign is great (one of the best campaigns in shooters I ever played), PVP and Horde modes are just ok, escape mode is boring and underdeveloped. Graphics is top notch, on par with Naughty Dog games but in 60 fps. I really like shooting mechanic and variety of enemies. Gears 5 is definitely must buy game for single player campaign.

    = I didn't touch the multiplayer of the 5th game. The open world bit of the game makes up a large part of the game and this part of the game is just not as good, the game isn't really suited to been open world with it's stiff feeling controls and stiff camara. These parts of the game just have bad pacing. The snow area of the game isn't even very pretty to explore and exploration is a big part of what makes open worlds fun. The later open area in the desert is more intresting to look at and a big improvement. But riding the sled thing still feels a bit like a long loading screen between areas.

    I've been a fan of Gears of War ever since the first entry launched on Xbox 360. I've played every mainline entry and enjoyed them all.

    I've actually felt like the series has improved with every iteration, if you compare Gears 1 to Gears 5 you'll see a stark contrast in colour palette, weapon selection, gameplay mechanics, game modes and general feel of the game...

    It's quite fun hearing people go "This is just a bro shooter" or "big muscle men shooting stuff" as ultimately that's only a small part of what the franchise actually is.

    The story across the franchise has had a lot of heart, and the new characters introduced in 4 are so good that having them as the stars in this entry has been brilliant.

    Where Gears of War 4 was very safe, arguably the "Force Awakens" of Gears, Gears 5 evolves the formula into something new...

    Open world sections take over 2 of the acts, with optional objectives and side areas to explore

    Jack, a character you can play as in co-op, becomes a companion you can order about with some light RPG mechanics in terms of upgrading and unlocking new tools

    The new weapons add some fun variety, with "relic" weapons (hidden guns in the open world) becoming a new and fun mechanic which will put a spin on weapons you've already grown to love

    Stealth sections, something you'd never expect from Gears, whilst not as in depth as Deus Ex, they add a nice change of pace that allow you to progress through a section of the game in an unconventional way - or still run in guns blazing if you choose.

    You can play the entire campaign as a linear adventure like the prior games, but the new open world sections (which I'd compare to something like Tomb Raider) really give the game something new and the set pieces are superb.

    And that's just the campaign... the multiplayer is what you'd expect from the franchise, with the addition of Escape which is a neat play on a Left 4 Dead format, with a map creator.

    Highly recommend this game and would encourage everything to play through this franchise as a whole - this is easily my GOTY for 2019 (so far)...

    Aún así el juego no aburre y la exploración está muy potenciada. En general es mejor que Gears 4

    A sublime story, head to head with that of Gears 2. Emotional moments, a deep lore dive into the locust horde, action packed and a very tough choice by the end. The end isn't quite a masterpiece, but is serviceable. Said that, there's no denying that this really is one of the best Gears of War entries ever. Thanks, The Coalition, for the max effort.

    Campanha podia ser um pouco melhor, mas o jogo compensa pelo multiplayer caso não tenha problemas com a conexão e o melhor de tudo é poder jogar ele por apenas 1 real no gamepass

    Gears 5 is one of the best games of 2019, the best game from Microsoft in 2019 and one of the best in the entire generation of Xbox One (however grey it is). GOW4 has already taken a big step forward and moved away from the classic mechanics of playing GOW towards game-travel. But part 5 didn 't just inherit it, but developed it.

And the plot is very dynamic and there are a couple of twists. Thank you Microsoft for playing such a game, looks great on Xbox One X.
    It is nearly 10/10, but nearly pressurized The Coalition what that is not enough for them. Maybe 6 part will be a masterpiece?

    Gears 5 by The Coalition leaves the all-too-linear script to be a thing of the past, in pursuit of a rediscovered self. All, on the altar of a plot as such, that mandatorily requires the use of elements that you usually come across in the open-world and role-playing genres.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gears 5 is next step is a whole lot of game. The game looks incredible (one of the best-looking looking games of 2019 along with Devil May Cry V), runs at near constant 60fps during the entire campaign (except for a few notable hiccup spots) is crammed pack with various multiplayer modes which it is still adding to the game, a greatly improved campaign over Gears of War 4, great new weapons (Breaker Mace is my favorite), new enemy varieties to spice up the campaign (such as the Rejects and Wardens), Terminator: Dark Fate and Halo: Reach character cameos, great old and new characters (shoutouts to JACK, Baird, JD, Fahz, Samson, Iris) and overall, great gameplay. Only have a few minor cripes, such as Rev-9/Grace character pack being too expensive, bugs (most of them fix themselves or are generally harmless, but at least 1-2 are annoying, they'll fix it though, devs seem quick to address issues), the Lancer aim is bit off from Gears of War 4, shotgun seems a bit off from Gears of War 4, and not a big fan of the choice you have to make in the end of campaign story's (prefer a linear narrative).

    - Some stealth was a nice addition

    Cons:
    - Campaign maybe a bit too long
    - Maybe have even more situations where shooting wasn't the only solution

    Gears 5 is a dynamic and exciting third-person shooter with incredibly beautiful graphics, hardcore multiplayer and a variety of cooperative modes, which lacks a challenge in the main campaign and really unexpected and interesting plot twists. Nevertheless, I put the maximum rating!

    Stunning graphics, 4K 60 FPS in ALL MODES, at least in Xbox One X, a whole new mode "Escape" which is pretty fun, lots of improvements in versus mode, no loot boxes, no pay to win in horde mode, lots of changes (for good) in horde mode, the customization options for both versus and coop modes (horde and escape) are huuuuuge, I'm loving it so far.

    The campaign is awesome but I ended up wanting more straightforward action like in the previous games, with a very intense but pretty short final act. The developers said that this is a map 50 times bigger than any other Gears game, but taking into account the fact that most of the really big map is pretty much empty with just a few secondary missions and lots of "skating/skiffing" time, it really does not give you the feeling of a 50 times bigger game, not even a bigger campaign, which has a duration slightly higher in comparison to previous releases.

    Now the bugs, I found a significant amount in the campaign (not as bad considering this is an early release, but still a release). In some extreme cases the experience was compromised, but nothing a quick game restart wouldn't solve, I hope those are getting fixed soon with a patch or something. In the online experience, mostly in multiplayer modes, most players are experiencing issues, those are already been taking care of but the overall experience is far from perfect yet.

    The game in general feels really fun to play, the feedback from guns is awesome, the tuning, the sound effects, the ambientation...It is a game of those which keep you sticked to the controller for hours, in both the campaign and the multiplayer, really enjoyable! Kudos to the amazing team which made this happen!

    That said and despite the issues (bugs), which should be fixed like in previous releases, I consider gears 5 is a significant improvement over Gears of War 4, with an awesome campaign, a really nice multiplayer and lots of additions making the overall experience much better. It is not perfect, but a must play for all the fans of the Gears saga.

It provides a nice challenge, but isn't as addicting as Horde. The open world levels are comparable to the chapter in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy in which you could explore and discover optional missions. Overall, this "Gears" entry is a satisfying one, but its new additions don't change the game much. This is just more of the same. I would rate it with an 8.3 out of 10. Expand

It's completly different to the previous games of the franchise but doesn't lose the essence of the saga, what is great.

In addition, we can play side quests to obtain objects that will help us along the game. All these changes fits really well in the Gears of war experience and were necessary for the saga to go on.
    We can still find loads of actions and heart stopping moments that we were used to see in this games, what makes it addictive and fun to play. However all this joy is a bit short due to the lenght of the campaing; the online and survival mode are entertaining, but not the main reason to play this game by far. I also missed new weapons... They're the same as the previous game.

    Gears 5 is one of the best pure Action Games the last years. The Story and the characters are good too and The Sense of Fire is Really Good. And the Plot ist not Bad.

    This game gives enjoyable time for player. Story mode is really joyful, and the game inscribe curious future for further developments event though short game time. However, I cannot say that, multiplayer mode has lots of different modes, so the creators have to focus on multiplayer in order to expand playable facilities for fans of GoW.

    It’s more Gears, which is good. There’s never really been a bad Gears game so more of the same is okay.

You now play as Ms. Bland andIt’s more Gears, which is good. There’s never really been a bad Gears game so more of the same is okay. Only instead of playing as a group of fun, super macho badasses each with their own unique and interesting personalities and character traits, curb stomping their way through hordes of mutants, but also having the odd surprisingly emotional character moment. You now play as Ms. Bland and uninteresting, a self involved, millennial college student with mommy issues. And in the most unique and non-lazy way of setting a story in motion she’s been having dreams that are telling her to go do a thing in a place so the plot can happen. But don’t worry she’ll be accompanied by Mr. Bland and uninteresting (no relation), to talk about herself at.

    Somewhat annoyingly you start the game as JD Fenix. Marcus Fenix’s bland and uninteresting offspring from Gears 4. Only in the intro act he’s given some genuinely interesting development. Clearly living in his father shadow he’s desperately trying to prove himself. Even when unnecessary. This comes to a head when JD puts his own life at risk in order to save the lives of others. Only this ultimately backfires, Now physically and emotionally scarred from the decisions he made that day he has to learn to live with the consequences. The actions he took that day saved lives, but also inadvertently ended them. How is he going to move forward, how will he grow as a person. How will he reconcile with loved ones after that pain he has caused. Can he see the positive he has done, or will the darkness slowly eat away at him until he is nothin…

    Ah, all that can wait, Kait’s got a Mcguffin and a dream and in her own words “This isn’t about you, It’s about me”. Who needs an emotional hook for story telling when you can have spooky visions. Forget you and your emotional trauma, your inner conflict, your moral ambiguity that you struggle to reconcile with on a daily basis. That’s not interesting, I’m bloody sad god damn it, it’s all about me, not you.

    It’s strange. In an attempt to tell a more personal story they’ve done away with all the fun, over the top character moments that made the original trilogy such a joy to play. And yet nothing here comes anywhere near as emotionally impactful as Dom finding his wife in Gears 2. The only reason I can think of is that fact that it’s so incredibly hard care one iota about these new characters.

    But I suppose ultimately what I’m trying to say is… Pew pew fun.

    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.
