Where Gears 4 was a disappointment, 5 is a lot more polished and the script was actually interesting. Graphics are top-tier for this generation of gaming and the controls are as smooth as butter. Didn’t realize there would be such an impactful choice at the end and the game would have an open ending! Can’t say this entry is anything special, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction!… Expand

    The combat and mobility of this game is very strange, the movement in general is something for people who really like TPS, in addition to the empty open world, story and lukewarm development, the game can even deliver very good graphics, but nothing too much.

    Gears 5 was honestly a surprise for me, while the story this time around isn't that interesting, the gameplay mechanics are arguably the best in the series, the game feels very smooth to play, and the new additional mechanics are good.

    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.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    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.

    Negatives:
    - absence of indications on what to do and no map (at least to date)
    - the "health omen" (omen of health aka indicative of damage) .. how to say, it's ugly
    - the enemies are relatively bullet sponges, you shoot but you don't really know in how many minutes they will die like (possibility to activate the health bars in the options at least), we spend half the game reloading our gun
    - we too are bullet sponges so it leaves the impression that our decisions in combat don't matter because there is no great risk, especially since our comrades can revive us, we don't really know how much health we have anyway (see health omen)
    - no "auto pick up ammo", funny animation, slowed progress for nothing, often lacks ammunition (at least to date)
    - we can reload even if already full .. it makes no sense and it's annoying
    - strange place at the top right for the amount of remaining ammo, finally we get used to it
    - limited interactions with the environment, you can't jump, fall, climb or move objects except via a few specific objects
    - too linear / rigid and I had several bugs despite its simplicity, 3 years after the game was released
    - not a fan of roadie run animation but you get used to it
    - no way to get details about our weapons (such as speed, range, accuracy)
    - cannot save manually
    - revive a friend by grabbing his arm to lift him up .. OK super realistic
    - we wear mega armor but no helmet?! (although the character makes a comment that he doesn't like it for his "field of view"...)
    - collectibles to find .. really offers no interest
    - the "components" found all over the place in places that make no sense, like on the floor in a poison shop like

    "Weird" game, being the first game in the Gears franchise, I can say that I hated it, maybe because of personal opinions, I didn't like the gameplay of the game, unfortunately I couldn't finish it, because I found it extremely repetitive and boring, you walk more than you play, Multiplayer today, in 2022, is dead, there are hardly any matches, anyway, it deserves a red note (at least for me).

    The Coalition отлично проявили себя. Игра потрясная. Очень хороший геймплей, огромное количество разнообразных врагов и оружия, крутые интересные гаджеты. Классные интересные механики. Хорошие харизматичные персонажи. И всё это в потрясающей графике. Первую половину игры даже сюжет интересный, но к сожалению потом про него будто забыли, а жаль.

    Melhor Gears de todos, acho que teve um pouco de downgrade com relação ao 4, porem nao significa nada perto das inovações que teve, armas muito bacanas, inimigos muito bem feitos, o controle do jack achei sensacional, historia legal, mundo semi aberto top. parabens The Coalition.

    É um jogo de meio mundo aberto, mas meio perdido. Os produtores mataram a linearidade de gears, que era muito boa, e criaram um mundo meio perdido.

    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.

    So I really liked the game for awhile, but once they took away the ability to play with a squad of 5 the game was ruined. I don’t understand why a game would be against friends playing together. This game is the reason I’m getting a PS5 and not a new Xbox.

    It is as though Microsoft can not come up with any original concepts any more . Gears of war 1 excellent , gears 2 amazing , gears 3 geat , gears 4 mediocre, while this game is straight trash right next to tactics .. the main character is not relatable , and the story is just a sad excuse of a game plot

    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.

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.    … Expand

    Após jogar toda a saga devo admitir que Gears 5 foi na contra mão de tudo que a série construiu. Trouxe apenas gráficos bonitos. Durante a campanha presenciei diversos bugs principalmente na área semi aberta e constantes quedas de FPS. Um jogo bom com potencial desperdiçado

    Great game. Graphics is AWESOME. One of the best I have seen on XSX! Game ishighly playable and enjoyable as well. However, after 3rd act is quite repetetive. Other pros: you can play with your friends online or locally. BUY IT!

    So-So:
    - Game was great in the first half, but I got fatigued of its gameplay and open world about half way through. It definitely overstayed its welcome.
    - 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.
    Get on sale or check it out on gamepass.

    Gears 5 is the best game from the coalition. Incredible visuals, unique boss battles (reminiscence of og gears Besserker). The diversified environments and semi-open world structure is such a breath of fresh air for the series, and let’s not forget the added fun when playing split screen.

    Gears 5 was better than I thought it would be. Different protagonist for most of the game but with a really good backstory. JD was a different man and way better than he was in part 4 as a character.

    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.
