    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.

    The campaign is excellent, different, varied, with certain aspects that change the linearity of the previous game. the game shines in its multiplayer modes

    This game is by far the greatest in the series. Takes everything you need in a Gears game.

    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...)… Expand

    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.

    O melhor da série pra mim. Grandiosos momentos da história, jogo leve e bem otimizado. Só senti falta de um mapa um pouco maior e mais locais para explorar, mas para um jogo que saiu do linear para um mapa quase aberto, ja está ótimo.

    This is an epic package of Gears.

    After roughly 10 hours I completed the Story and didnt expect such a good campaign. It was different in its gameplay parts, you get a lot of shooting but also more silent parts and for the most important u have a lot of fun with the gameplay/graphics and characters. I would highly recommend this game, also if u just want to play the story. Besides    This is an epic package of Gears.

    Es un buen juego, recomendable a estas alturas, personajes femeninos con excelente calidad, aunque odie la parte de la matriarca y su muerte innecesaria.

    Another great entry in the Gears (of War) series. With beautiful graphics, the right balance between humor and serious stuff, and a number of surprisingly strong story moments. And of course: still lost of men candy.

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. Un juego que en mi opinión esta a la altura del 3 pero todavía no llega al 2 por lo anteriormente mencionado.… 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.
