    Gears 5 plays like its formal predecessors, but even a whole lot better! Like Gears of War 4 you play the same characters, but this time, they have more room to shoot and splatter. If you enjoy a good story, Then this game is worth getting. Gears of War 4 left us with a mystery and now you can find out in Gears 5!

    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 has a campaign, multiplayer, horse mode, and the new escape mode which also has a map editor. The story is exciting and visually impressive. The game also gives background to the previous game so you can get right into the story if you're new to gears.

    Gears 5 has been out for a year now, but it’s still a perfect time to jump in. There’s a new update that adds Bautista to the campaign for new game + and plenty of multiplayer modes to fit anyone’s play style, whether it’s horde mode, co-op, or TDM. Great purchase and glad I got a fantastic deal on the price

    Great game and customer service at my local store. My purchase online was very easy to pickup my order when I went into my store. My son was excited to get this game for his Xbox and I also was happy to get this game on sale

    Great game, especially in the series X. Love the story and where it is going, and the multiplayer is fun as always. They didnt reinvent the wheel from Epic days so dont think you will like it if you didnt like the previous games, but the gameplay is as clean, smooth, and fun as it has always been.

    Great game, amazing graphics accompany it also. You get a lot of value as the game offers many single player modes and multi player modes so it’ll keep most Gears fans happy for a while. It also has downloadable content for people wanting more story based content.

    Last time I played Gears was GoW 2... so it's been a hot minute. Just bought a Xbox 1 (been playing PlayStation for the last 8 years) so it was great to get back to this franchise! The graphics are great, the campaign has been solid (so far) and the multiplayer modes are like I remembered! So pumped to get back into this franchise!!

    Good game I don't feel like they messed up this game just sucks you don't play with Marcus Fenix much or the other guys might be the last time I play these games and yes it's because of the girl I loved tomb raider but when you start changing from all male tough guy characters then throw in a female protagonist I lose interest still a good game tho just rather wokeness stay out of games or create their own franchise and stop destroying our beloved games

    Full credit to Best Buy for selling a Microsoft X/S upscaled game that is SO good in terms of story telling, sequences, adventures for just 4.99 Best Buy has the greatest of prices. That being said if you like third view fps get this
