    It's Gears so if course it's good. Payed an insanely low price while on sale. Adds some open world elements to the classic gears gameplay. Oh and the graphics are insane on the series x.

    Campaign was better than Gears of War 4, microtransaction purchases for skins seems quite pricey, Escape mode keeps you interested for a few rounds, but loses luster after several games, Tour of Duty requires too much time to complete, Gameplay is very similar to previous versions, with the execption of the more open sections. Would recommend to others if discounted.

    This is such a great game! I love gears and I’ve played and beat every last one of them. If you love the gears series then you’ll love this. It’s got a good story with plenty of action. Co-op on this with a friend or friends is very fun.

    Love the gears franchise, but was a little disappointed with gears 4. Not a bad game just not as good as it could be. After playing through 5 they definitely uped the ante. Story is 10x better than 4, graphics are incredibly in 4k w/the X and tweaks to gameplay are a welcomed addition. Got it with $10 preorder reward from BB so at $50 it was a great value.

    Best Gears to Date

    I played Gears 5 back to back with Gears 4 and while 4 was solid, it was pretty same-y from the original trilogy. Gears 5 on the other hand, kept the great gunplay, but opened up the world with big areas with different encounters and secrets to explore. Once you get to specific areas attached to the open world, it's more similar to older Gears, with tight quarters and level designs that are conducive to some good firefights. The mix of environments and pacing they achieved between the two is really the shot in the arm the series needed and helps it to feel fresh. I had a great time with this game.

    Gears of War 5 is a continuation of the Gears Saga. In short, you can expect great graphics, great gameplay, new modes, such as "escape," and plenty of "add-ons" to come. Although the game play has a different feel compared to previous versions of the game, it is well worth having in your collection if you are an avid shooter gamer.

Smooth game play, great graphics and still enjoyable. still playing through the game so i will update once the campaign is completed

    I’ve enjoyed all of the Gears games and this preserves the outstanding gameplay the series is known for along with eye-popping graphics and sound effects. The only flaw is the incorporation of open-world elements which fell flat. Hopefully the developers keep Gears linear for the next game.

    I have owned all the other Gears games so I had to get this one. It's different, got to start with that. I play mostly online so I haven't gotten around to the campaign but the way you play online is much different. From the loadout of weapons to characters you pick to start with (each is different) to buying weapons mid game with points you earn. It took me a bit to get used to but I started understanding what was going on and I can't say I like it more or less than previous versions. All I can say is it's different. I am definitely enjoying it and playing a lot of games online, there's just a little learning curve. Bottom line if you liked the previous versions I think this will be a must get for you.
