    Melhor lançamento de 2019 sem dúvidas, graficamente o jogo mais bonito da geração e a história não deixa a desejar em nada.

    El mejor juego de la saga por lejos, el nivel de atención al detalle es increíble y la cantidad e modos de juego tanto para 1 jugador, como a 4 jugadores cooperativo online o pantalla dividida.

    O jogo é quase perfeito. Narrativa e gameplay muito bem dosados.. Um dos melhores gráficos que eu vi junto a red dead 2... Jogabilidade ótima e fiel a saga..
    Ponto Negativo: Bugs do lançamento e conquistas com problemas.
    Modo on line não testei.

    Es un juegaso solo lo que le falta es un poco mas de carizma a los personajes cosa que en este gears ya sea mejorado comparado con la entrega anterior. Que se arreglen algunos bugs (The coalition ya esta trabajando) y dejate llevar por la aventura. Una cosa si eres un jugador nuevo trata de ver videos resumenes de la historia por que es mas compleja de lo que crees.

    Best Gears game yet! Graphics are so next gen and game play is unbelievable. Everything you have always loved about the franchise is here. The End will Shock you to your core. The Coalition has proven itself as the AAA game studio to beat.

    Didn’t like the game at all, and it’s still filled with bugs. Thank god for gamepass, so I’ll advise everyone just to do the same, if you really want to try it

    Com certeza o melhor da franquia. Poderia ser melhor sem os bugs nos momentos críticos do game. Percebi que acontecem mais nas dificuldades mais altas. Mas nada é perfeito! Minha nota esta baseada na história que ficou mais envolvente com os diálogos dos personagens, enriquecendo a história. Este é o caminho Microsoft. Parabéns!!!

    Es un juegazo el mejor de la generación para Xbox One y un serio candidato para juego del año. La campaña es una delicia, la trama los personajes absolutamente todo majestuoso y el apartado técnico y gráfico el mejor de la generación para consolas con su 4K a 60 FPS que locura

    If I could I'd score it 11/10, because it pushes the bounds of what's technically possible on a console (any console). It sets a new benchmark in terms of visuals, content and gameplay variety.

We've been playing great single player games and great multiplayer games this generation, but there hasn't been up untill now a game with suck a good SP component AND that amazing MP component too. The last game I remember doing it was GTA V, but that came out last generation. it has an immersive story acted by extraordinary characters, it has the classic Gears gameplay but with small variations plus a lot of plesant surprises that keep it fresh. The campaign alone would be a 11/10. But then you also have Versus, Horde, Escape and a map builder, which are all great modes. There's not even the need to describe how good they are, if you played any Gears before, you already know. The gore is up through the roof. I only encountered twice the infinite saving bug, but it's fixed now.… Expand

    of course the original 3 games were the best, but this was a very good game, graphics gameplay and map design felt the way gears should. HOWEVER my only issue with this game is the story could of been cooler, like more berserker type situations and they shouldve been more indepth on kait and jd

    A great game marred by plenty of bugs. It's Gears, it's fluid, it's smooth, it's beautiful. I really want to enjoy this game.

    I've reached Act 2 Chapter 3 and I've encounter three bugs so far. Two required a restart to the last checkpoint, one required a restart of an entire chapter as the reloading of a checkpoint (current and previous) resulted in a death loop.

    I don't think I've ever played an AAA with this many bugs. Glad it only cost me £2.

    My advice: wait a few months for them to iron out the bugs    … Expand

    Personally, I believe that the talented developers of Gears 5, The Coalition, exhibits solid craftsmanship in game development.

Gears 5 provide players with an engaging, albeit sometimes prolonged and tedious campaign, perfect gunplay, and a variety of game modes that may cater to a diverse set of gamers.

    Seeing that Gears 4's campaign concluded with a revelation surrounding Kait's relationship to the Locust, The Coalition made the correct choice of revolving Gears 5 around this character. As a result, being in Kait's shoes, experiencing her struggles, and enduring her journey was not only very personal to her but exuded a fascinating campaign for players. However, several concerns regarding the campaign's structure should be addressed. Indeed, the campaign showcases amazing moments but, there seems to be a lot of clutter that prolong the game and makes the overall experience tedious. For example, backtracking or completing several uninteresting objectives that isn't very integral to the story (much of this done over a open world setting). Furthermore, there was two pesky glitches. One was if you happened to have pressed the xbox guide button while the game decided to save, the character is locked and unable to move until you restart the game, losing all of your progress after the most recent checkpoint.

    The escape mode and Horde mode featured in these games can be quite fun with your friends; however, if you encounter a lobby of random players, you may experience a high occurrence of people quitting the game and leaving you to deal with the enemies that work as obstacles to victory. Escape, the newest mode, sees that your and your friends are intentionally kidnapped by snatchers and taken to their hive. You burst out of your pod and place a ticking time bomb that releases poison to the surrounding area and forces you to flee from the nauseous fumes. As you make your escape, you're confronted by a variety of enemies that attempt to slow and stop your progress from freedom. This is a fun and fresh idea. During each new round, the game throws a different combination of enemies at designated locations. Unfortunately, if you progressed through these same areas enough, the mode seems to grow a little repetitive. Therefore, additional difficulties and cards that can enhance the game may continue to keep things fresh but ultimately I would like to see additional maps that can add creativity to your escape. Moving on to the Horde mode, I believe that players may already be familiar with it due to its previous incarnations in older titles. Thus, too much time shouldn't be used to critic this mode. As before, have your buddies, fortify your positions, and watch out for the matriarch.

    I believe the last mode is multiplayer. I've played older iterations of the multiplayer but didnt get a chance to touch the one for Gears 5.

    Overall, I would give this game a 8/10. The campaign is solid but may feel a tad bit tedious. The Horde and Escape can be enjoyable with the right crew. So pick this one up. Its smooth, the gunplay is enjoyable, and the visuals are attractive.    … 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.
