    Las variantes del juego como enfrentamiento, horda se sienten incompletas, pocos mapas, pocos personajes, el lo peor de todo el sistema de micropagos, Dios jamás pensé que Gears lo transformarán en esto

    O jogo é bom porque saiu na game pass? Não, infelizmente a história é rasa, personagens sem carisma, resumindo, Gears vem perdendo sua essência desde o 3.

    Tiene una campaña y modos de juego buenos, el problema es que a TC no le importa mucho el juego más que el dinero y eso se refleja con las actualizaciones tan malas que le da, teniendo un multijugador que parece una beta, su sistema de rankeo es malo y muchos más defectos en si es un juego malo y bueno al mismo tiempo y espero sus desarrolladores se esfuercen más

    Fun game but campaign is riddled with game breaking bugs, making it unplayable whilst all the focus goes on the season pass and multilayer.

    Combat is fun and still as enjoyable as ever, but aside from the original characters the new characters are just missing something. Kait is solid, but JD is still lame. The "open" area is supposed to make Gears 5 feel bigger, but it's probably the worst area of the game.

    Cross play with PC should always be an option to turn off. Never mandatory.

    Smoking is bad for you, but bullets and Lancer Chainsaws are just fine. Gears "of War" is just too controversial. So lets slim it down to Gears. No, it's Gears of War. So glad Rod Ferguson left, wish Cliffy B would come back and save Gears of War    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    Full disclosure, I LOVE this series. I'm down for the Horde mode in a big bad way. This version of the game is UTTERLY FRUSTRATING. The game is buggy as all heck. I've crashed multiple times in the Story and Horde modes. I've been in an endless loop of crashes, so I had to go to a prior save point to replay what I already played.

I've been in rooms where the mcguffin wouldn't activate, even though I could clearly see it. First time through on Horde mode, I got to wave 35 and the screen went blank and the game completely crashed. I would score this a 8-9 out of 10 if the servers were operational and the crashes were not happening. I will try this on PC, since I got the Game Pass.

    If it's better, I'll resubmit my review. As of the time of my review, there are 1220 positive reviews and 141 negative reviews.

    Gears 5 is meh 3rd person shooter. It's pretty fun for one play through but with no New Game Plus or any level up system carry over there no point playing again. Shows the 1 x technical prowess but at it's core is just a pretty bland shooter

    Pretty graphics, dated art direction, lacking any destructability and physics. The open sections are empty and pointless, game in reality is the same old gears we have seen many times before. HDR is a highlight and is very well done and the game is definitely a step up from Gears 4.

    It's a decent game, but I can't help but to give it a middling review because of the botched launch. So many errors, bugs, and headaches. I've lost progress on levels multiple times because of glitches, making me not even want to play it any more. Bought the special version just to realize that the extra days of play was more of a server test, a la Anthem.

    Graphics are genuinely very impressive, but that aside the game falls short on implementing anything fresh.

There just seems to be a huge lack of connection to the newer characters that are being shoved in-front of us, the character development is pretty awful or perhaps its just they don't come close to those of the original.

    Multiplayer on the other hands, I've always said the multiplayer is awful nothing changes at all. The type of gameplay is just a shotgun fest with no real skill, the different type of plays in the game i.e. mid-range and long-range combat seems to be completely ignored. The multiplayer is left very linear and unskilled in the action that you're forced to rinse and repeat i.e. hug round a blind sight and one shot someone who gets too close to you with the gnasher. The game will never really touch a high level remaining with this sort of gameplay.    … Expand

    Looks great but plays like a XBOX 360 game. The shooting is wonderful. The Open world is a joke. And, I didn't care for story. The last Act almost saved it.

    LOL. Fanboys/fake reviews everywhere! This game is OK. Nowhere near as good as Division 2 or Red Dead 2..not even close. Look up at the sky..it looks like a cheap painting and very unrealistic. Characters block your view often when in combat. Cover system is clunky and inaccurate. Visual bugs. Game is obviously unfinished. This is my least favorite in the series.

    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; -    Ridiculously irritating game.

    Bom esse jogo tem uma história que poderia ser promissora mas e muito confusa em alguns aspectos,outro quesito é a jogabilidade, e a mesma dos outros gears o que eu acho muiito enjoativo, e o jogo tem alguns bugs que podem ser corrigidos em atualizações futuras.Bom não recomendaria ninguém comprar esse game, mas pega ele no game pass pra você ter sua própria opinião.

    The game is incredibly glitchy. Some funny, others game breaking. Story good, albeit predictable and spoiled by the marketing materiel at points, and the gameplay is solid. The open world is empty, the puzzles are shallow. Graphics are good. The servers are kind of bad as of posting this.

    Unplayable at launch for PC players...

    I already regret purchasing this title. I can think of nothing more frustrating than not being able to play your game when you intentionally setup your day to do so. Some of us don’t have 7 days to play because of work. Regardless of where things go from here, the experience is already a bad one.

    Nossa sou caixista a muitos anos, mas desta vez vou ter que concordar com as criticas, o jogos esta horrível cheio de bugs e aparentemente é tão chato quanto o 4, eu queria que os desenvolvedores nos respeitassem mais.

    Simply stunning, and the best Gears yet. It's still as much fun as the original, but the added depth in stories and mode really pushes this over the top. It's game of the year for me so far.

    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.
