    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gears 5 is the exact Gears of War game that i wanted for years.

    After Gears of War 4, one thing became clear to me. It was time for this franchise to evolve. I'm glad to say that the Gears of War franchise finally evolved. And it's amazing

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.

    I finished the Gears 5 campaign last night. I had an absolute blast playing through this game. Very surprised as I am not a major Gears of War fan overall.

    I finished the Gears 5 campaign last night. I had an absolute blast playing through this game. Very surprised as I am not a major Gears of War fan overall.

    I recently played through Gears 4 and enjoyed it along with Kait's story. So I was looking forward to Gears 5 to see how it played out. I was not disappointed.

    Graphics: Absolutely incredible looking game, and a pretty solid 60 FPS Frame Buffer. Smooth game.

    Audio: Extremely well done, guns sound great, enemies, music composition and timing, all excellent.

    Story: Solid as even some of the top tier games this generation. I was engrossed in the story! I was literally in shock and awe near the end of the game. It was literally jaw dropping. God of War meets Contra meets a massive blockbuster action movie. I could not believe it. The game was also much more emotional than previous entries, with some choices and arcs that are truly deep, and, in some cases, tough choices to make. It was a very involved story that did not feel generic.

    Gameplay: Gameplay typical of Gears with some new, very well done mechanics such as Jack, your AI assistant. Some new weapons, the Lancer GL is bad ass. Overall, gameplay is very solid.

    This game is a must play to me, even if you are not a huge Gears fan. I took some points off for various things that all added up, such as some issues in game with graphics, clipping, mapping, some disconnects in co-op. I also think the COG's need their own flashlight instead of just relying on Jack, that was rather frustrating. They also need a photo mode! This game BEGS to have one! Also, the new open world design in certain areas was a fun addition, but I feel like it was sparse overall in terms of exploration. They give you side objectives, but there are no random encounters in the open world, which made traveling kind of dull after a while.

    Overall, I give this game a 9/10. I think The Coalition did an incredible job, and I cannot wait for the next entry in the series! This game is one of my top 5 games of the generation, alongside God of War, RDR2, Spiderman, and the Forza Horizon entries. Do yourself a favor and give Gears 5 a play!

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game literally blew me out of the water to the point that I'm here, on metacritic to give my review. Never in my life have I ever been around so much toxic people on Twitter and Facebook bashing everything Xbox. I've read the so-called "negative" reviews and let me tell you that this game is truly amazing and deserves a 10! Right from the start the campaign opens like a Blockbuster movie! the first act of this game reminds me of metal gear solid 2 in the best possible way! You start off as a JD Fenix for the first act of the game! I don't want to give away too much but it is amazing! The rest of the game you play as KAIT and that too is amazing! the graphics are on a whole nother level and I'm so surprised to see so much Fidelity and detail to this game without any hiccups! The combat feels so redefine and fresh and I really love the new elements like using Jack and upgrading him! Plus seeing Carmine as an older fellow makes me smile! The coalition really put the time and effort into this one! the dialogue will make you laugh the story is perfectly paced the set pieces are jaw-dropping the character Dynamics reminds me of a long going movie franchise that we love so much! Plus callbacks to gears 2, 3, and judgement are the icing on the cake! The soundtrack deserve much recognition as well. the recurring themes in the soundtrack really gets her heart pumping especially the original gears of war theme! I can go on and on and on but I'm learning how to make a proper review lol . In short gears of war 5 does live up to the hype and please disregard any negative people online that are bashing this game for the sake of being on Xbox. Microsoft and the coalition if you are reading this my hat is off to you! Thank you for making this game possible and I can speak for the whole fan base when I say "bring on Xbox Scarlett" and "bring on the future of gears"! Expand

The campaign by itself is probably an 8, but this title just has an incredible amount of depth and is truly a great value. To save time, I’ll just give individual scores for the main components of Gears 5:

    Graphics: 10. This is the best looking Xbox One game out there.

    Gameplay: 8. It’s more of the same in a lot of respects, but it’s still a step forward for the series.

    Sound and Music: 8.5. Some of the music tracks are truly beautiful and the soundboard for this game is excellent.

    Fun Factor: 8.5. This is probably the most enjoyable Gears to date, and while I could’ve done with more bosses, I really dig what we’ve been given.

    Depth: 9.5. With all of the collectibles and modes, I think this is one of the deepest third-person shooters in gaming history.

    What can i say?
    Its almost the perfect game.

    It has:

    -High quality campaign
    -Co-op Campaign (up to 3 player splitscreen AND online!)
    -High quality versus (one of the best in genre)
    -High quality Horde Mode (THE best in genre)
    -High quality Escape Mode
    -One of the best graphics in this gen (its 4k AND 60fps)

    I say as it is. This game is one of the best games of the gen. All magazines dont know how to rate a good game. How are all those massive (and good!) content worth like nothing?
    This isnt right. I playing the game the whole time EVERY mode. I cant say 1 bad thing about this game realy.

    This Game should have got 95% and not the 85% here on meta. This isnt right. This is absolutly not right.

    All i can say is you have to play this game realy. Everything you want you will get.

    For me it is a 10/10 and would give it like 95-96% (and not only personal!)

    This game is a breath of fresh air, especially for the drought of AAA games on Xbox.
    The game is beautiful, and looks best on the OneX with a 4K HDR display. Love the elements they added to the game. The Coalition did a phenomenal job. Don't let the media convince you this game doesn't deserve anything less than a 90. It's atleast worth 90-95. A must buy.

    This is probably the best Microsoft maid game ever… It looks and runs godly on the Xbox one X. And when you combined all the different ways to play this game will get played for years to come!

    Um jogo massante no bom sentido, com gráficos de cair o queixo e uma história bem melhor doq a do jogo anterior, mas fica devendo um pouco em relação a trilogia inicial. Tirando isso um jogo digno de Gears Of War !!

    Após um Gears 4 abaixo da trilogia anterior, Gears5 trouxe o que há de melhor da trilogia anterior com o melhor que Gears 4 teve a oferecer, aliado a inovações na jogabilidade, mundo semi Aberto, veículo, novos inimigos e etc... Simplesmente perfeito.

    La campaña es increible!! Sin duda alguna supero por mucho a su antecesor.
    Tiene una historia que te atrapa como debe ser en un increible juego, una que otra escena triste pero quitando eso estoy muy satisfecho.

    L'ho provato su un PC abbastanza potente e, francamente, è una delle migliori port che vedo da anni. Hanno faticato a fare un buon lavoro per la comunità dei PC, cosa che molti non hanno fatto durante l'attuale generazione. Grazie XBOX. Ti meriti il ​​punteggio più alto. Daje Marcus Fenix!!!!

    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.
