    Прекрасная игра, продажи которой майки похоронили плохой рекламной кампанией

    Ridiculously irritating game.
    - AI teammates are stupid as hell and there's not much control over them in comparison to the first trilogy;
    - Small amount of memorable arenas and situations; - 2 and 3rd act are empty large locations with hub and spikes; - Secondary missions are not good enough to be proper levels/missions; - Bosses and minibosses are superboring; - The flock is buggy; -

    I’ve played all the Gears games and this one fell short. The campaign felt lacking in substance and I think they could’ve made a better story, I never felt engage and many of the battles felt repetitive and boring, even the battle with the final boss was so disappointing that when it ended I was like, that’s it? This is the end of the game? Certainly I was expecting more. Anyway I alwaysI’ve played all the Gears games and this one fell short.

    The competitive mode it’s the same as the previous game, it’s just great, the maps tho, they feel so constrained, I prefer the ones that have more open spaces and gives you more ground to cover. It’s an ok game, but not the amazingness I was expecting.

    Worst game in the shoot ‘‘em up history.
    The developers forgot to make the target of the weapon viewable by the player.

    Muy buen juego, una campaña que nos da la oportunidad de tener un mapa ampliado, ecxelente modos de juegos nuevos, buenos graficos y variedad de armas. Si eres jugador competitivo el multijugador te gustara.

    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

    Best Gears ever, the game we were waiting for. The campaign is huge, act 1 is bigger and better than Gears 4, on act 2-3 the game become openworld and act 4 becomes linear again to end this gorgeous game in any sense, alongside with Red Dead 2 this is best graphic you can have, and runs smooth on One X, solid 60fps. Just play it! Well, and the multiplayer...Escape, horde mode, etc...theBest Gears ever, the game we were waiting for.

    The Coalition did a great job on Gears 5. The graphics are worthy of the Xbox One X. Multiplayer modes especially the horde mode are always a joy.

    Improves on everything from Gears of war 4. And the DLC'sare awsome, stunning to just roam around focosed on the story with awsome (as always) action and gameplay. The best Gears so far for me.

    game is at very least a 9/10 . Critics must be crazy to give this the same score as gears of war 4 . This game is better !! I am amazed at how this game got zero love for game
    Of the year .. I have played god of war and Spider-Man and would score them God of war 9/10 great game but nothing I haven’t done before
    Spider-Man 8/10 very good game but again reminds me of amazing Spider-Man games

    O jogo me agradou bastante. Exceto pelos elementos de mundo semi-aberto, que a meu ver, descaracterizam a pegada do jogo que é ação frenética. Por vários momentos estamos explorando o mundo vasto e com poucos elementos e chegamos a conclusão que o Cap 1 e 4 são bem superiores. Porém, isso não tira a maestria de execução.
    Não tive bugs. O jogo performou super bem no Xbox One X.

    A história me agradou bastante e o que mais me agradou no Gears 5 foi que os personagens Del, JD e Kate tem alma. Coisa que no 4 não tinham, eram personagens sem expressão, fracos em carisma... no 5 é diferente, estão encorpados e com bastante personalidade.

    Nota 9 pois creio que não supera a maestria da primeira trilogia. Mas com certeza foi um dos melhores jogos que joguei em 2019.

    Minor details don't allow me to give it a perfect 10. I wish it would be a bit longer, some minor AI errors, players (not me) experienced disconnections but, its great and yes, the best Gears ever created.

    Great game and it's a much bigger improvement to the previous gears. Amazing graphic and the audio of Dolby gives it a much better experience. Great story,great game and can't wait for the next.

    Bajarle enteros queriendo penalizar al juego por su campaña es lo que cierto sector de la prensa ha querido hacer. Pero no se dan cuenta que este juego sólo por el multijugador ya es de 10. Por primera vez diré que un Gears debería ser el Goty del año.

    I am not the biggest GOW Fan but this Single Player Campaign is absolute great. The Graphics are one of the Best in This Console Gen.... play it with GAMEPASS... Best Deal for everyone.

    Una joya en todo sentido, los graficos brutales ademas de la Campaña que supera a la de Gears of War 4 con una historia mas profunda, y el multijugador muy bueno, super fluido con esos 60fps. The Coalition a hecho uno de los mejores juegos de esta generacion.... Accion pura

    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.
