    Being a fan of the gears of war series since the Xbox 360 i have enjoyed all the games that have been released and this one is no exception. From the great looking scenery to the fast and frantic online multiplayer gameplay, this is on game no gears of war fan should miss. One of the best parts about this game is that it has also been optimized for the Xbox Series X/S making the graphics look even more awesome.

    Although these games have become cut-and-paste, I still find them entertaining. Gears gives me exactly what I expect- third-person shooter, grungy aesthetics, exaggerated characters, gratuitous gore, and a story I somewhat care about. These are fun games despite lacking innovation in later installments. Regardless, I know when I put this game in, I'm going to have fun and chainsaw some baddies.

    I preordered this, so excited and totally did not disappoint. I have been following the entire series since the beginning. I love how we can be Kate or even Jack!!! The story is so good and so are the graphics, sounds, music. If your heart doesn’t get a pumping you must not have one. I like how there are side missions.

    I played this game a while ago after finishing Gow 4. I downloaded Gears 5 off of Gamepass and enjoyed my time with it. I havent renewed my gamepass because I havent had as much time to game. Once I saw this on sale for $5 I picked it up so I could finish my playthrough.
