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.

    This is my first Gears of War game and I have to say I love it! Lots of fun, great action, I enjoy the third person view more then a first person shooter and this game gives me that. Overall I must say it's a lot of fun, I have more game to play, but I'm enjoying the solo campaign mode and I'm looking forward to completing it.

    Gears 5 is so far the best installment in the series. The action and pacing is fantastic; the controls feel heavy but also smooth; and enjoying it in coop is excellent. As a veteran in the franchise, I'm disappointed by the constant repetition on the insane difficulty and don't remember the lack of revival from previous installments. That being said, it is a breeze on normal.

    This is an excellent entry into the Gears saga. Wonderful 4K HDR visuals bring to life the story. This will also play on the yet to be released Xbox Series X and will load even faster and look even better. Can’t wait to see this when the console is released end of year. Highly recommend

    If we talk about an iconic saga in the world of video games, we are talking about GEARS of WAR and the 5th installment of this saga is the best and the most ambitious!! a game with the best campaign ever seen and with a multiplayer that offers us new things all the time!!

    I can still remember the first time I played the first gears of war back on the xbox 360. Oh the memories! Here we are now with Gears 5 and so far so good. Great pacing, loads of action and a great story. Highly recommend it. A must own!

      Hey Thomas,

      Thank you for recommending Gears 5 as a must-own game! We're glad that it's a worthy successor to the original Gears of War. Did you know that the original Gears of War (along with the rest of the Gears series) are available to play on Xbox One through Xbox Game Pass? If not, we suggest checking it out!

      Happy gaming,

    pretty good entry for the latest gears. lots of modes to offer and the competitive multiplayer was the main draw for me. few problems i have is that the ranking system for competitive modes is awful and needs to be tweaked and the micro-transactions they added for character and weapon skins (pretty much a cash grab). pretty fun game other than those things.

    It seems weird that they dropped the "...of War" part of the title for this fifth entry to the Gears of War series. However whether you've played them before or not, anyone can pick up and play this third person cover shooter alone or with a friend and have a blast. Looks even better on the new Xbox Series X to boot!

    COuldn't resist. I also play GEARS TACTICS, but when I saw this under the Tree, I opened it already. Now I play this and not the other. For a while anyway. This game will make you forget the others, or at least take time away from playing others, You may prefer this one!

    The game and the price was great. Bought on black Friday sale. The negative would be I had other games in my cart to purchase but Best buy site had a glitch it let me purchase then cancelled my order. By the time everything had went through the sale was over. I got my money put back into my account but had to go somewhere else to buy my games.
