    I experienced bugs, audio cutting out, stutters even on a monitor with VR enabled, and a weird bug where the game spawned me three checkpoints back instead of just one. The first and final acts were great, but I felt that the entire game in between was quite dull. The story didn't move anywhere, and it felt like a filler between Gears 4 and the inevitable Gears 6.

    Este juego destaca por sus novedades online, gráficos y modo historia espectacular. Pero ha sido el primero de todos los gears que he jugado en aburrirme pronto y eso que el 4 es peor.

    Gears 5 is a superb shooter, and the only real survivor of the genre it popularized. The campaign is worth playing all on its own, but the developers have gone to great lengths by taking a chainsaw to the multiplayer and offering new and exciting ways to play.

    Any Gears of War fan should definitely take Gears 5 for a spin if they really want to test the power of their new hardware but may feel somewhat let down by the campaign mode if they are huge fans of the initial trilogy.

    The Coalition has gone all out to create one of the best Xbox Series X launch titles, which is both great and sad about the state of things. It’s no system seller like a Gears game should be, but it allows those who experienced it last year to marvel in its glory once more and introduce new players to the world of Sera in the most vibrant way possible.
