Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about Gears 5's impressive graphics and engaging story. The campaign and horde mode also receive significant praise, with many citing them as highlights of the game. While some players found the controls needed adjustment, overwhelmingly positive feedback focuses on the action and, for some, the open-world aspects. A few players expressed some minor concerns about the ending.

    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.

    The storyline is good but they have a bit too much of it which delays doing the Campaigns. Fun game and good graphics. I would recommend but they starting the game between campaigns is a bit slow.

    I love the first one and have taken Potter much a break since then. But G5 has sparked my interest in the series again. Graphics are awesome and the story keeps you immersed throughout.

    This is an excellent entry into the gears of war saga, and has great graphics and gameplay. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed gears before. The visuals are much more colorful than past games which helps with immersion, even while keeping the gritty feel of the order games. While I like the look of the old games, they can occasionally feel like you’re playing on an old TV that is starting to fail and lose its color...especially in a world of HDR TV’s.

    Ehh. Wouldn't recommend this iteration of the series. Gameplay skipped around a lot and froze which has never happened to me with a new game. I got it for super cheap so can't complain about that, the wasted time wasn't fun however.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This fifth installment of the gears of war franchise has blown every expectation out of the water. The story is a nice change of pace and the graphics are far better than the fourth.
