    Muito boa campanha apenas teve um momento de escolha no final que achei desnecessário e sem sentido, ótima trilha sonora, ótimos gráficos, multiplayer esta legal porém tem muito poucos personagens, mas modo horda pra mim do gears of war 4 é melhor é o modo fuga é uma boa variação pra se divertir com os amigos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been playing Gears since the first one came out back in 2006 so I know what to pretty much expect of the game. I have nothing bad to say about the campaign, as always. Beautiful graphics, great storyline and above all the gameplay itself was smooth (Xbox One). Oh man, those graphics... I already said beautiful graphics but I have to repeat myself because that's how great they were. The facial animations, the weapons, even the voice acting was perfect. Music to my ears. I won't lie, I died, A LOT, but granted I played on insane as always, since I'm a bit insane myself. The game itself has a long campaign, which I love, took me about 31 hours. Who doesn't love a game with a long storyline? Spoiler alert, the ending was phenomenal. It's pretty much all of Gears in a nutshell. I was sitting like a moron in front of my screen with my jaw hanging to the floor. Just an amazing experience. Even though I have mostly positive things to say about GOW 5, of course it comes with its negatives. I can't say there's any game, at least for me that doesn't come with SOME downfalls. The biggest nuisance in this game for me was the crashing. The game froze up, a lot. I would have to resort to dropping a grenade on myself so I can pretty much die and restart from my last save in order to correct the issue. Let's talk multiplayer: Horde (YAY), versus mode or escape. Horde is even more badass then it's ever been. Since each player brings something different to the table, it just makes wave after wave more enjoyable and more intense. I'm ashamed to say I only reached save 38. As a veteran of the game, how dare I! But just comes to show how much they amped up the difficulty. Loved it! Now, when it comes to the matchmaking, it's 50/50 here. I don't believe the system always made the best matchmaking setups, due to the fact it was rarely balanced, at least in my experience. Given that though, it's by far the best multiplayer they've achieved yet. Entering the Escape maps which seemed to be highly unpredictable was a rush and the new Arcade versus was just beautiful chaos. I was constantly experiencing tachycardia while playing Arcade in the most amazing way ever. Kept me constantly on my tippy toes. Piece of advice to my fellow female gamer, don't play this in heels like I did at one point. Yes, I was playing in heels, and yes I stood up often due to my adrenaline and YES, I did fall once, maybe twice? Okay... maybe more than twice. Long story short, if you're a Gears fan from the beginning or you're just starting out the series for the first time, you will 100% enjoy about every aspect of the game. Everything from the amazing graphics, great storyline and smooth gameplay to the multiplayer modes and even those annoying little campers that hide in one spot during matchmaking that makes you want to pull your hair out or in my case use words I didn't know existed or throw a controller or two against the wall (and maybe one of my heels too, maybe...)

    this video game was beautiful. the game design very nice and well managed to make you immerse in various situations. the very beautiful story, however, presents some moments of death. precisely for this small defect the game does not take 100 but I very willingly give it a 90.

    A truly engrossing campaign and gorgeous graphics make this a must-buy for fans of the Gears franchise. The only thing keeping it from a 10/10 are the constant issues with online connectivity, particularly when the developers offer time-sensitive XP boosts that are wasted due to disconnections and server problems that can last for hours.

    El mejor Gears a la fecha, épico e impresionante. La jugabilidad es la clásica con algunas mejoras para mantenernos entretenidos pero conservando su escencia. Las partes de mapa abierto son una bocanada de aire fresco y a nivel técnico es espectacular en Xbox One X corriendo la campaña a 4k y 60fps.

    Quizas el videojuego que mejor explota a esta generacion de consolas, con eso esta todo dicho. Buenos graficos, buena jugabilidad, buen surtido de armas, recursos bastante justos e incluso a veces escasos provocando mayor dificultad. Quizas lo mas decepcionante el boss final, para mi gusto demasiado sencillo comparado con los del resto del juego. Muy recomendable.

Solo por poner dos puntos negativos estos serian 1) IA mejorable, especialmente en los aliados que van bastante a lo CoD, están hay para dar vida al guión pero en combate solo sirven para estorbar y pronunciar frases o advertencias obvias y 2) el juego se queda a mitad de la historia, esto no es del todo malo en mi opinión porque al menos no es como la historia del 4, que básicamente no entiendes que fue lo que quisieron mostrar (casi nada), pero si te deja con muchas ganas de más al finalizar la campaña y un deseo un poco insatisfecho de terminar y dar un cierre.

    After Gears 4 I was sceptical about 5. I enjoyed 4 but felt that it was lacking something. Gears 5 put to rest all my apprehension by delivering a first class game on every level. I played this on an xbox one x and the game looks fantastic. The story is great and the action is relentless. It keeps building and building in momentum and never let's up.

If you feel frustrated in how those 2 game modes play out I HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying the "Arcade" game mode. It is one of the modes that keep me coming back to the game as well because I am not so good at King of the Hill and TDM. The Arcade game mode makes you feel as if you're playing an entirely different multiplayer and it is well worth your shot. Expand

    They even went out of their way to fix the story part which wasn’t the strong site of the previous game (Gears 4). In gears 5 the story isn’t just good on its own but it really fits well in the overall Gears story. Another thing I want to mention is that they finally made the characters good, some of them still need some more details in their personality and a bit development but overall it is really good now.

    = 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.

    Great game, but nothing groundbreaking, and it's nowhere close to e.g. God of War, despite the obvious inspiration.

    The graphics are truly amazing on the XB 1X (4K 60 FPS and HDR).

    Considering it's available on game pass, I think this is easily a must play for anyone liking action games.

    La primera vez es curioso, pero la siguiente ya no sorprende y ya sabes cómo se va a desarrollar el regreso

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

    Si tuviera que destacar algo, serían los entornos interiores. La ambientación de estos lugares, unido a las fuentes de luz y el HDR hace que se vean increíblemente bien. Los exteriores no me sorprenden tanto, pero muy buena calidad en general.

    This game can easily be described as an experience. The game looks and plays incredibly (4k 60fps & HDR) the sound is amazing (Dolby Atmos option included) & it plays smooth. Plus, its on game pass! I recommend it, its really good. Best thing is if you have doubts just use gamepass and play it!

    Everyone seems to love Gears 5, and I liked it pretty well overall. There is plenty of action like all Gears games. Lots of shooting aliens. They attempted some open areas in the game- which I really didn’t care for too much. I especially hated the “skiff” in the snow & desert. Every time I came back to get on it- it wouldn’t work! I had to reload my save & try again. Very annoying. SomeEveryone seems to love Gears 5, and I liked it pretty well overall. There is plenty of action like all Gears games. Lots of shooting aliens.

    Gears 5 ofrece una mejora sustancia respecto a su anterior entrega. Con una historia un poco más cuidada, mejor desarrollo de personajes y escenarios.

    Jugablemente sigue siendo muy similar al 4, y eso me chirría un poco, se hecha de menos ese sonido pesado de las armas y la brutalidad y escala de la trilogía original. En cuanto a los personajes no termino de involucrarme con ellos ni

It ran fantastically on PC with a smooth, near-constant 60 fps on high however it is frame capped to 30 on the S which is because of the console limitations. The game is standard Gears gameplay but still manages to be fun. With a friend, it is even better as you can flank or be in two separate areas whereas the AI will only follow you. The weapons are unique and most are fun to use. The story is strong for most the time but it builds up only to climax in a very short manner which is annoying sequel bait. It is a fun game and is worth a play and is free on Gamepass which is awesome. Expand

    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.

    - Campaign maybe a bit too long

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

    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.

    It’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.

It looks great, it sounds great, it plays great and finally for the xbox one exclusives it has a story as well...

    Personally, I believe that the talented developers of Gears 5, The Coalition, exhibits solid craftsmanship in game development. Gears 5 provide players with an engaging, albeit sometimes prolonged and tedious campaign, perfect gunplay, and a variety of game modes that may cater to a diverse set of gamers.

    Seeing that Gears 4's campaign concluded with a revelation surrounding Kait's relationship to the Locust, The Coalition made the correct choice of revolving Gears 5 around this character. As a result, being in Kait's shoes, experiencing her struggles, and enduring her journey was not only very personal to her but exuded a fascinating campaign for players. However, several concerns regarding the campaign's structure should be addressed. Indeed, the campaign showcases amazing moments but, there seems to be a lot of clutter that prolong the game and makes the overall experience tedious. For example, backtracking or completing several uninteresting objectives that isn't very integral to the story (much of this done over a open world setting). Furthermore, there was two pesky glitches. One was if you happened to have pressed the xbox guide button while the game decided to save, the character is locked and unable to move until you restart the game, losing all of your progress after the most recent checkpoint.

    The escape mode and Horde mode featured in these games can be quite fun with your friends; however, if you encounter a lobby of random players, you may experience a high occurrence of people quitting the game and leaving you to deal with the enemies that work as obstacles to victory. Escape, the newest mode, sees that your and your friends are intentionally kidnapped by snatchers and taken to their hive. You burst out of your pod and place a ticking time bomb that releases poison to the surrounding area and forces you to flee from the nauseous fumes. As you make your escape, you're confronted by a variety of enemies that attempt to slow and stop your progress from freedom. This is a fun and fresh idea. During each new round, the game throws a different combination of enemies at designated locations. Unfortunately, if you progressed through these same areas enough, the mode seems to grow a little repetitive. Therefore, additional difficulties and cards that can enhance the game may continue to keep things fresh but ultimately I would like to see additional maps that can add creativity to your escape. Moving on to the Horde mode, I believe that players may already be familiar with it due to its previous incarnations in older titles. Thus, too much time shouldn't be used to critic this mode. As before, have your buddies, fortify your positions, and watch out for the matriarch.

    I believe the last mode is multiplayer. I've played older iterations of the multiplayer but didnt get a chance to touch the one for Gears 5.

    Overall, I would give this game a 8/10. The campaign is solid but may feel a tad bit tedious. The Horde and Escape can be enjoyable with the right crew. So pick this one up. Its smooth, the gunplay is enjoyable, and the visuals are attractive.

    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 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.
