    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A campanha é simplesmente incrível, voltando a assuntos do passado como New Hope e rever o Niles são momentos épicos para fans da franquia, o ritimo do jogo e moldado na sua forma de jogar explorando os cenários semi abertos que são realmente bem ambientados, inclusive nesse assunto, eu ouse a dizer que esse é o gears com os cenários mais elaborados da franquia, graficamente o jogo é impecável, e o áudio é INCRIVEL!! o som ambiente desse jogo, o barulho das armaduras, o barulho do gelo se quebrando são coisas lindas, muito capricho por parte da The coalition, simplesmente o melhor engenharia de audio da geração, a trilha sonora voltou a ser envolvente como as das trilogia original, as boss fights são muito boas eles deram muitas variaçaoes de como enfrentar utilizando recursos do cenário, as missões secundarias são muito boas não teve uma que eu não tenha gostado, eu presenciei alguns bugs mas nenhum de atrapalhar a experiencia, bom essa campanha e melhor junto com a do gears 2 mas ainda tenho que digerir algumas coisas para decidir qual é melhor
    O muntiplayer do jogo veio muito superior ao 4 em questão de conteúdo, infelizmente no momento o servers estão meio ruins mas e normal pra um game lançamento, e é bom ver que The Coalition escutou os fan, finalmente arrumando a gnasher que no gears 4 esta extremamente quebrada, acabou com bonecos esponjas em que você da 5 tiros e nao morria, esse muntplayer do gears 5 tem o potencia de ser o melhor da franquia com essas alteraçaoes.
    o modo horda esta sensacional, sem duvidas o melhor, com essa mudançasque cada personagem tem sua habiladade sua ultimate, coisa que tamben tinha no gears 4 so que bem inferior, da uma sensação nova de se jogar se parecendo com um 'heroes shoters' e isso e muito dinâmico.
    o modo fuga infelizmente não pude jogar muito mas com o pouco em que eu joguei ele estava bom.
    na minha opnião foi sem duvidas um dos melhores games desse ano se não o melhor

Jugado en la XBOX One X en televisor de 49 pulgadas y HDR se ve magnifico y con tasa de refresco de 60hz, es un placer jugarlo. Ha valido la pena esperar, se nota que ha sido desarrollado extremando los cuidados. Fuerte candidato a juego del año. Muy recomendado.

    Honestly, I never got into Gears at all. I've been an Xbox gamer since 01 and saw Gears in 06 and gave it a try. I wasn't a fan of the mechanics and it being a 3rd person shooter rubbed me the wrong way, so I gave up on it. As I grew up and matured, I saw this game was coming out and it was getting praise from the critics. So instead of played Gears 1-3, I watched YouTube videosHonestly, I never got into Gears at all. I've been an Xbox gamer since 01 and saw Gears in 06 and gave it a try. I wasn't a fan of the mechanics and it being a 3rd person shooter rubbed me the wrong way, so I gave up on it. As I grew up and matured, I saw this game was coming out and it was getting praise from the critics. So instead of played Gears 1-3, I watched YouTube videos summarizing the story of the 3, then I hopped on Gears 4 and I actually enjoyed it. A solid 8/10 from me.
    But, Gears 5, blows it out of the water. I wasn't sure how Kait being the main protagonist was going to affect me, I really liked JD in 4.
    You grow to really like Kait and feel for her situation as you learn more about her family and the link to the Locust. Del is a great co-companion and will give you a few laughs and Jack the robot was very well implemented into the schematics of the game.
    The semi-open world aspect of it was a blast and you can take your time and finish a couple of the secondary quests they offer. It's not as linear as previous games.
    I never thought I'd enjoy a Gears game this much, but they knocked it out of the park with this one. I'm officially a fan and will continue playing.

    Gears 5 Reseña

    Acabo de terminar la campaña de Gears 5 y lo primero que me viene a la mente tras el final es: santa mierda, vaya viaje

    La campaña fue todo lo que espere, y mucho, mucho mas, el personaje de Kait Diaz, que ahora es nuestra protagonista, nos dejo la entrega anterior con un cliffhanger bastante rotundo, ella es la nieta de la reina Myra, finada a manos de Marcus dos juegos atrás.

    Kaith tiene mas de un secreto que desvelar, tras la muerte de su madre, su legado como descendiente de la realeza locust desencadenara un viaje sin precedentes, para buscar respuestas, a si misma, y una amenaza que podría ser igual, o mayor, a la que Marcus Fénix y el pelotón delta derroto ya antaño, teniendo nuevos aliados, los viejos miembros del pelotón kilo, un amigo duro de roer de una familia que carga una maldición y un viejo amigo directamente de Halbo Bay.

    Algo que me gustaría resaltar antes de avanzar mas en mi reseña, es el cuidado que tuvo the coalition en el diseño y desarrollo de personajes en esta entrega, ya que la ultima vez, nos entregaron varios personajes que se notaba daban para mucho mas, el cual es le caso de JD Fénix, la entrega pasada, no fue mas que el niño que no quiere seguir del todo el legado de su padre, pero nos quedo a deber personalidad, en esta entrega corrigen y aumentan el personaje de James, pues debido a un incidente, queda con cicatrices físicas y mentales de por vida, y lo hace comportarse como un personaje mas maduro y aguerrido,

    Gears 5 esta plagado de respuestas a cada esquina de la trama, mas de una vez te quedaras con la boca abierta al descubrir los secretos que esta saga llevaba guardando celosamente desde 2008 en Gears Of War 2

    Remarcable también el nada sencillo trabajo de hacer que una saga que lleva ya 13 años en el mercado y en nuestras consolas de Xbox se sienta fresca, interesante, única, emocionante e innovadora, con un mundo abierto, misiones secundarias, elementos que salpican de rol y exploración la experiencia Gears de siempre, que no se ve perjudicada por estos cambios, se siente que todo son añadidos sin quitar nada de lo que hace a Gears, Gears

    En conclusión, Gears 5 es uno de los mejores de la franquicia, y una segunda entrega perfecta de la saga de descendientes, un juego que cualquiera que haya jugado algún Gears debería jugar al completo. Una experiencia redonda, completa, satisfactoria, interesante y siempre, emocionante

    Excellent shooting mechanics, fun guns, insane graphics, great animations, voice work, mocap and locations. Even the vechiles functioned great and the enemies and boss fights are a thrill to kill.

    Co-op worked really well and the fact that each player has different perspectives all the way through left us talking the whole time about what we just saw. The writing and dialogue was decent and the overall story was fine, nothing hugely new or special but it services the game. A couple of emotional moments and choices to be made but this isn't going to replace your story driven games. At least the characters were really likeable. Would NOT recommend playing with a 3rd friend as the robot job is not a fun one. He is essentially your ability user and helper and has some neat upgrades which give a good reason to do side quests, but having someon play as him the whole time is boring. He functions much much better when the two players can use him as the AI whenever. I see what they were going for with this but it just didn't pan out. Taking control of the robot leaves you lacking with fun things to do - especially shooting people.

    I played on the PC and had absolutely no performance issues. There are a suite of options to choose from and customization is well beyond what's expected. There are tons of accessibility options which is just amazing to see and even as someone with no problem hearing the descriptive captions were helpful. This is definitely somthing to commend both Microsoft and the Coalition for and they really just made a superbly enjoyable game.

    Este junto con red dead redemption 2, son lo mejor en cuanto a gráficos de esta generación

    Excelente regreso de la saga gears of war, un baño completamente y con una nueva capa de pintura, se siente fresco y sobre todo para explotar lo que queda de esta generación de consolas con el motor gráfico, que aun puede llegar a sorprendernos mucho, la historia vaya si que me da un buen sabor de boca a diferencia del 4, este lo siento mas libre y arriesgado por parte del estudio, elExcelente regreso de la saga gears of war, un baño completamente y con una nueva capa de pintura, se siente fresco y sobre todo para explotar lo que queda de esta generación de consolas con el motor gráfico, que aun puede llegar a sorprendernos mucho, la historia vaya si que me da un buen sabor de boca a diferencia del 4, este lo siento mas libre y arriesgado por parte del estudio, el multijugador creo que es mas de lo mismo solo puliendo cosas que quedaron a deber en el 4, la punta de lanza que necesitaba microsoft, ahora tienen que ver que la calidad de sus juegos es de aquí para arriba, felicidades the coalition y a los que tienen una xbox, ya se lo merecían.

    Gears 5 is not only the best Xbox game to be released this generation, it’s an incredible journey that tells a great story and leaves you speechless with its breathtaking visuals and smooth gameplay. The beloved series is back on the right track and it’s a big win for a company that has struggled to compete with AAA titles in recent years.

    There are some wizards in The Coalition team. The game is so beautiful and smooth that it seems to push Unreal Engine to its limits. And the HDR of this game is absolutely stunning!

    Simplesmente o melhor da franquia,o mais Cinematográfico e com mais ação de todos!
    O sistema do mundo semi aberto é sensacional,faz com que o jogador explore muito mais os cenários do jogo.
    O Segundo ato do jogo começa a esquentar é mostrar do que o jogo é capaz com cenários incríveis ,o sistema de semi mundo aberto onde você pode escolher fazer ou não as missões secundárias que ficam espalhadas pelo mapa do jogo. Em relação ao Jack,é muito importante para vários momentos do jogo com suas habilidades que vão sendo desbloqueados ao longo do jogo,e ainda é possível melhorar essas habilidades com peças que são encontradas em todo o jogo,uma espécie de "coletavel".
    O modo arcade é extremamente divertido,o modo Escape também é muito interessante!

    Excellent game, I have completed all the gears and this is my second favorite one, but it feels new in all the ways, 10/10 and I have Ps4 PRO, Xbox one X, Switch, PC Gamer and all retro consoles, not a fanboy, just honest about the game!

    Great campaign! It is a great evolution from the previous entries. Combat is more tense, specially playing in Experienced difficulty, but at the same time is more fun since you have more abilities to play with. Narrative is awesome, music and scenery just nailed it. A must play for any Gears fan.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I recently went back and played through the Gears OG Trilogy and Gears of War 4 to prepare myself for Gears 5. I was pleasantly surprised at how the campaign evolved the story while adding in RPG Elements, Stealth moments, and a Semi-open - World with Side missions. I had a blast and see this as a bright future for The Coalition and Xbox Game Studios going forward. Expand

    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.
