    Gears 5 is everything the old games were but better. From the stunning graphics to the pulse-pounding action, this game had me hooked from the start.

    Good Overall. Not much replay value in campaign

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Everyone seems to love Gears 5, and I liked it pretty well overall. There is plenty of action like all Gears games. Lots of shooting aliens. They attempted some open areas in the game- which I really didn’t care for too much. I especially hated the “skiff” in the snow & desert. Every time I came back to get on it- it wouldn’t work! I had to reload my save & try again. Very annoying. Some of the chapters were very long & the game could have moved ahead at a quicker pace. Overall, I liked the game- but I’m not sure if I’d play it again. I really don’t see the campaign having much replay value.

    If you have a ONE X and a 4 K TV with HDR , your mind will be blown away .Microsoft really pushed the limit on this game , with the one X . The graphics are far beyond any other game currently out there .. in my opinion this game ,will not be beat for the rest of the year and part of next year . I bought , played , and beat Gears 4 . That game was great , Gears 5 is well beyond great ...

    Great beginning, mild middle and confusing end

    This is classic Gears. The campaign has a lot of action, cover shooting and things you've enjoyed. There are some risks with the open settings and hubs, with some glitches. The action hearts up again towards the end, and a story bending choice will be made.
