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 pre-ordered this game and was so excited to play but I've been so busy that I haven't been able to start the campaign (crazy considering that it's my favorite part of the Gears games). That being said, it has great online multiplayer modes and great graphics on my 4k monitor. I can't wait to try the campaign! Try it out!

    So far I have just played multiplayer. But I like it so far. The mechanics feel very natural. The cover system works very well. The maps at launch are overall solid. Obviously there is always a few maps you dislike. But I like more than not. Graphically this pushes the Xbox One X to the limit. Frame rate consistently stays fluid. Even at 4K resolutions with HDR.

    I have been a Gears of War fan since day one and I'm glad to say the GOW 5 is a fun game with an awesome multiplayer and story mode. Just as fun and gore as the last. So what are you waiting for, join the COG and start blasting some grubs!

    Gears is back! Easily the best addition to the third-person shooter franchise. The campaign is addictive and challenging as you follow Kait, JD, Del and Marcus's journey to uncover Kait's past and rid the Locust/Swarm once and for all. Multiplayer has some fun new modes, including Arcade and Escape. This game will satisfy all fans of the Gears franchise and keep you coming back for more!
