Customer Ratings & Reviews

Better Graphics, improved storyline, new weapons and don’t forget the terminators, this should be the game of the year! Improved training level and improved weapon selection. More action than before and better in game player options. Overall I give an 10 out of 10 score.

This the best campaign in gears history! Love the open world mechanics. The story is engaging and long. Multiplayer is still top notch!!

For those of you who have been playing since the beginning you will not be disappointed in this latest endeavor the graphics characters and plot twist will make you happy you picked it up beautiful open world and some aspects to explore just make sure that you pick up everything you need to pick up because the the enemy is in abundance LOL

This is the best feeling and best looking Gears yet. Very fun to play, good campaign and hoard mode are great. Slightly open world but still streamlined story.

Gears 5 is a great looking and playing game that looks even better on One X and then even more on Series X. The story is great and there are a variety of levels with some great gameplay. There is even some great DLC. The game and DLC are free with Game Pass, but having Game Pass I bought this to have physically in my collection. The only downside of the game are the large open world levels that exist in a few places in the game. But even with these the game is well worth playing and a great experience.

I really enjoyed, really nice game, it won't be a best seller or game of the year but it entertains you and technically it's really well done. Beautiful story, beautiful graphics on HDR 4K TV, beautiful soundtrack, in short those who like the genre and played the previous ones is to buy. For those who have not played the above does nothing at the beginning there is a really well done sunto that from a nice idea of the game world. Microsoft has done a great job in everything even with spoken Italian voice acting. In the end I recommend it without remoring.

This review relates to the campaign only, as I haven't touched the multi-player yet - All Gears, all the time. I'm only about 10% into the game, but I have thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Graphics are amazing, control is fantastic, story is engaging. It's exactly what I wanted out of the latest Gears. It's a little buggy with some of the collectibles vanishing and reappearing, but that's become pretty standard at launch, so I can't hold that against this game. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good 'n gory shooter.

The graphics are amazing!! The story is great and the action is just as great as the last four Gears of War games! Highly recommend it!

Great game for the Xbox One Console, the graphics are great and plenty action. Price on sale made it a good value.

I’ve been a big fan of the gears of war franchise. From the Xbox 360 to now the Xbox one I’ve always loved their story modes with No other than Marcus fenix! Gears 5 along with gears 4 has been a little different with new playable characters. This time we have options to play with Kate Diaz or del. Multiplayer is great.

Its no secret the Achilles heel of the xbox brand in this console generation is the lack of exclusives... Gears 5 does a lot to change that with an excellent campaign and multi player, not to mention arguably the best graphics and presentation of any game this generation. Heading into the next gen Microsoft needs more exclusives like gear 5, killer instinct and more open world games to truly compete. Gears 5 proves they have the capability to compete with sony and Nintendo.

I got this on sale for $10 during the pandemic and it's been a load of fun for my son. I'm not much of a FPS gamer so I asked him how he liked it after a few days. He says that the gameplay is not too difficult with a good storyline and the graphics are top notch on my Xbox One X. If you have Microsoft Ultimate, this is currently free and I would still buy it as it is always on sale and is a great game for FPS fans.

This looks amazing on the Xbox One X. Started playing on gamepass when the game was released. Played the story mode first thing. Really big game. More open ended than any of the past Gears games. All of the multiplayer is top notch. Horde mode is best with friends and very addictive. Escape mode is great with friends. PVP I only play on occasion. Don't miss out on this game, the game play and graphics are incredible.

If there is one exclusive shooter title that stands out on the Xbox it would be the Gears series besides Halo. Gears of war 5 is a beautiful and visually stunning 3rd person shooter which picks where Gears 4 ends and follows up on the story of Kait Diaz. The story telling was good, and the gameplay is your typical Gears style mechanism that we are all accustomed to with a few enhancements. Great experience overall especially if you co op and play online as well.

Have only played campaign mode, so that is all I can comment on. Visually this game is stunning in 4K with HDR10. At least on my Xbox Series X. I have an Xbox One S as well, but have not run it on there, and don’t know if it would run as well on that old system. Really enjoy the campaign mode great story, and fun.

I have always been a fan of the Gears games, and 5 didn't disappoint. I played this on the Series X and it looks amazing, the characters all have great storylines, and with the ability to choose which character you get 3 different experiences. Gears 5 is one of my favorite games I have played this year

Game is good. Great story. Horde mode is awesome as usual. I still think gears 4 is better but overall gears 5 is about 8 outta 10.

Gears 5 is awesome with killer graphics. This game keeps the core gameplay intact while adding enough new elements to keep the series fresh. The campaign is very entertaining. I love the featured support of Jack. The multiplayer is also fun, you have plenty of modes to have fun with. If you’re a Gears fan, this is a must have.

love this game, the new horde mode, the campaign, the graphics, etc

I'm about halfway through the campaign and I can say Gears 5 is a marked improvement over Gears 4, but still doesn't quite come close to the greatness of the first 3 (and Judgment). I just can't get into the new characters, but having Marcus, Cole, and Baird around gives me a nice nostalgic kick. I haven't played multiplayer games in a while, but Gears was always great in that department and I'm sure it's just as good here again. Horde mode has kept getting better and better with new additions and improvements.
