    Story, Gameplay, New Mechanics, Graphics are awesome, better character development and awesome color palette, but it's not good in the technical stuff.

    Pros

    Story/Campaign- Best campaign in the entire series.
    Graphics/Visuals - Dynamic 4K 60fps on the Xbox One X the game is well versed and looks awesome in every locale it brings you to.
    Multiplayer - Escape is a new addition presents a challenge the more the higher you set the difficulty. Horde is better with Jack and Finally Vs mode is balanced you don't need to rely on Gnasher and if you are afraid to the shotgun play arcade mode.

    Cons

    - early bugs/now fixed
    -Expensive ass skins

    Gears 5 launched with a ton of content with modes for everyone. The game is very accessible well worth $60 to own and even a bigger value being apart of the $10/15 Game pass subscription on Console and PC you can also get it on steam. Gears 5 isn’t a game that sits in your backlog it is a reason you will accumulate a backlog.

    I strongly recommend Gears 5 9.8/10 because no game is perfect but Gears is Damn near close.    … Expand

    This game is incredible. The Coalition and Microsoft have pulled out all the stops on this graphical masterpiece. It brings Gears back into the fold as a must have game.

    Stunning graphics, great marketing, and a really intriguing story. Marketing for this game was really well done. Xbox is certainly the more superior console in 2019

    Well, i dont like the open world. Gears of War dont Need that imho... I prefer the old Gear-Games much more. The graphics are nice.. but the atmosphere sometimes a little bit low..

    Best game in series, Less epic moments in comparsion with GoW 2, but much more stornger story line and varied gameplay.

    Лучшая игра серии. Чуть меньше эпических моментов по сравнению со второй частью, но намного более сильный сюжет и разнообразный геймплей.

    todo lo que un juego de accion en 3er persona debe ser sin duda lo mejor del año sin duda un exelente gears que ni con todo el hate que existe pudo detener el gran lanzamiento que tuvo.

    y se nota que todos los que dieron 0 son hater sonyers ya que todos curiosamente se quejan de lo mismo hasta parecen grabadoras dicen exactamente lo mismo.

I've played each installment (other than Judgement) and the only one that I REALLY had fun with was Gears 3. None of the gears stories really caught my attention and therefore I just never got invested. That being said, I gave Gears 4 a shot and the story was pretty "bleh" but the way it ended with the cliffhanger had me a bit more invested in a gears story than I ever imagined I'd be. Needless to say, I was excited to give this game a shot. And everything they showed up to launch this past summer has only gotten me more excited. Firstly, This was an absolutely incredible game to play through. After the opening scene, the visuals were what hooked me immediately (running on my Xbox one X). This is hands down one of the best looking games I've ever seen on any console (right up there with Red dead 2, God of War, Metro Exodus, etc etc). The story was absolutely on another level compared to any other Gears I have played. I cared about the characters! Even JD, and he was absolutely static (in my opinion) in Gears 4. Completing campaign took me about 2 full days of non stop gaming (about 7-8 hours/day) at a pretty average pace while completing all of the side missions I could find (they give u like 7-8 side missions throughout the game). I'd say if you want ALL of the collectibles and side missions completed, this game could take upwards or 16 hours. For me personally I am 100% willing to put this in my top 3 games from this generation on any platform (1. Red dead 2, 2. God Of War, 3. Gears 5) based on the main criteria I look for in games which are story (9/10), Visuals (10/10), Gameplay (10/10). Gotta give Xbox Game studios credit where credit is due. Xbox has had a rough go of it this gen but this is definitely one hell of a swan song to end the Xbox One Generation.

    ALSO...

    I'm basing this review off of my experience in campaign mode because I already know gears has excellent multiplayer experiences, so I'm not too worried about that.    … Expand

    Gears 5 is Fantastic. As someone who’s played every Gears game thus far, Gears 5 is easily among the top tier. It feels, looks and sounds as good as ever. Finally an Xbox One exclusive worth the $60+ (Or less with Game Pass!)

    Side Note: Early connectivity issues are unfortunate. But due to the large amount of players on Game Pass, it’s hard to blame the Devs for a lot of people playing    Gears 5 is Fantastic.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphically, the game is phenomenal. One of tbe best if not the best looking game on the Xbox One X. The gameplay is smooth, the multi-player is fast paced and chaotic. 5 player Hoard with matchmaking is super fun. It's clear the Coalition listened and has taken everything the community loved about prior Gears games, expanding on it to make it better all around.

    Fighting along side the old Gears, Marcus, Cole, Clayton Carmine was an absolutely amazing experience. This game definitely deserves a 10/10. After that cliffhanger ending with Kait, I can't wait for Gears 6!    … Expand

    In terms of the multiplayer, gears 5 is a step in the wrong direction. This is like gears of war judgement all over again.

The whole point about gears of war is that you can react to people shooting at you first and the interactions between players isn't cheap chaotic madness. But this has been lost completely. That which makes gears of war so different to your standard shooter has been lost completely.

    The game is a hollow experience overall and, for a reason I can't quite explicitly articulate, the kills and the in this game lack the feeling of satisfaction that the previous gears games had. Anyone with a half decent palate for gears of war as a franchise will be able to tell what I mean.

    Overall, I am very disappointed. And I think many other hardcore fans of the franchise will feel the same way.    … Expand

    Una brutalidad de juego, un severo candidato a juego del año, técnicamente de lo mejor de esta generación, los 4K y 60 fps de Xbox One x deberían ser un estándar para la industria a partir de ahora

    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.
