    El multijugador más decadente de todos,admito que la campaña es buena pero realmente Gears siempre se ha caracterizado por su multijugador este es muy pobre además que está en un pésimo estado Armas mal equlibardas Mal sistema de ranking
    Escopeta asquerosamente deficiente Falta de contenido Bugs y más bugs este juego se fue a la mierda en La primera operación

    Great story, improved combat and some atmospheric locations were the best thing about this game for me.
    What let it down was that some locations were rather barren, and most locations were bereft of life. If they had added birds, insects, more atmospheric dust effects and so on, the areas would've felt much more real and the game would've been much better.
    And while the game is very

    And while the game is very pretty for Xbone game, it does not compare to the best PS4 has to offer. HZD on PS4, even tho old game, is still ways prettier.

    Great Game with High FPS and many details. Played it on X1X and RTX 2080. The Multiplayer could have more Maps

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Have had to download the 72GB game for series-s a total of 3 times now for each little update, just redo a load the whole thing. The bad programming and management make this load of trash a solid reminder why Sony PlayStation will always beat Microsoft. Expand

    Nothing too special about this game. Played the full campaign, played the dlc, played multiplayer mode, and I felt bored the entire time while I was playing the game.

    Tecnicamente es muy bueno, graficos e ilumincación. Me gustó que salieron mapas del Gears 2. Lo que no me gustó fue la histora, pienso que esta mal estructurada, los personajes no muestran un desarrollo en la trama. El argumento es bajo y sin lógica en comparación a las 3 primeras entregas del Gears of war.
    El personaje principal de Gears 5 pareciera que fuera invensible y que siempre

    El personaje principal de Gears 5 pareciera que fuera invensible y que siempre gana, esto en mi parecer es lo que pasa en muchas nuevas peliculas actuales, que tratan de crear personajes invencibles, reveldes y que no presentan desarrollo y se sabe como terminara todo.

    El multijugador está bien y a 60 FPS en XONE y en XSeries X a 120 FPS hace una agradable experiencia y el modo Horda mejoró en comparación al desastre de Gears of war 4.

    Espero que The Coalition en sus proximas secuelas mejoren la coerencia y diseño del modo campaña y si presentan nuevos personajes principales no creen el estereotipo de empoderamiento. haciendo al personaje predecible aburrido y antipatico.

    Sublime,impresionante.
    Pasando de las secundarias del open world te encuentras con unos de los mejores juegos de accion de la ultima decada,muy superior a anteriores entregas.
    No dejeis de probar el dlc,esta a otro nivel.

    The game is amazing.

    As many people have already pointed out Gears 5 has a really good package of everything you could want from a Game of this genre. The graphics are gorgeous and more important the gameplay is even better than before, from fluid movements over the even more responsive cover system to the overvault Weapons (+the new ones).

    They even went out of their way to fix the story part which wasn’t the strong site of the previous game (Gears 4). In gears 5 the story isn’t just good on its own but it really fits well in the overall Gears story. Another thing I want to mention is that they finally made the characters good, some of them still need some more details in their personality and a bit development but overall it is really good now.

    Los viajes a través del desierto y la nieve se vuelven aburridos.
    Pero la historia del juego es genial y eso lo ha convertido en uno de los mejores juegos de la saga

    Gears 5 is fantastic at everything it sets out to be. There is no game of the genre that comes close to the quality and beauty of this game. Innovative campaign, but respecting previous games and fun multiplayer

    Un juego que si no es mejor que el 2 y 3, supo adaptarse a la generación implementando diversos mapas y tipos de ecosistemas para dar una experiencia distinta a lo que estábamos acostumbrados, la idea de que marcus, baird y cole cada vez pierden más protagonismo me pone algo triste pero supongo así son lo cambios y ojalá logren adaptar gears 6 a lo que nos tenían acostumbrado Epic Games.

    This might be an unpopular opinion, but this is the best Gears game in my opinion. A big step up from Gears 4.

    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

    I liked that the open world was short and sweet, but they're all go here and do a shooting gallery. That being said the open worlds are soulless and the second open world just looks ugly.

    Bit overhyped. That being said runs really well on xbsx with minimal frame drops. Quite buggy with some pop in.

    If you want a mindless shooter on gamepass it's alright, just nothing special.

    El juego mejora la calidad en cuanto a los gráficos y su historia da un cambia a las campañas de anteriores entregas, el multi jugador es un fuerte donde siempre son partidas con mucha acción.

    It's more Gears which you already know if it is for you or not. Decent enough title but for me, just too much more of the same and the open world sections only served to pad out the play time whilst adding nothing to the genre. Gunplay is great as always and the graphics are top notch.

    This franchise is great, the best of my childhood was spent with this game and I don't regret it at all. Music, story, atmosphere, characters, relationships between them are great. I just hope that gears 2 and 3 will be remastered one day

    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.
