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 game is highly underrated. The graphics and gameplay are top notch. One of my favorite xbox one games and it looks so much better on series x. Probably the best Gears game.

    Good action, controls not as intuitive as some other games. Not a problem. Playing as different characters is fun.

    Been working my way through the campaign on nitemare mode. It's amazing and the new weapons are a nice addition! The skiff and moving thru the lands is a little time consuming and not enough side missions but it does break up the game a bit instead of constant run and gun. Up to Act 4 and playability already seems great!

    Great Graphics and a good Cinematic Experience I'm so happy I got a physical copy of this game even though it's on Xbox Game Pass right now, because you never know if it will be takem off and I already own the first 4 so I needed to complete the collection!

    I have been out of the Gears world for some time now but once I picked this up as a steal at 9.99 I fell in love with it all over again. Product was at my doorstep quickly and in perfect condition. If you enjoy Gears then this is a must have.

    Excellent game. Great campaign and multiplayer has excellent support. Although the player base is dwindling a little bit making it take longer to matchmake. However, I have no issues finding matches within 5 minutes. The only thing is I wish it included the new DLC, Hivebuster.

    Gears 5 looks and feels great. The campaign is about 14 hours long. You can play alone or with friends on xbox live. The multiplayer is good. There's a ton of different game modes. The game had connection issues at launch but they've patched most issues. If your a gears fan or a love shooters it's a buy.

    good game overall. I've played all gears of war games, and despite them feeling kind of the same, there is nothing equal out there. Im playing this game on pc and the games look and plays excellent. i would recommend this game to anyone, just try to get it discounted.

    Gears 5 is a good game for fans of the franchise. I think this game is a Improvement from Gears of War 4 that bought a lot of new gameplay and characters into the franchise but was slightly disappointing to me. Gears of War 5 meshes the new gameplay and characters with what fans already love very well.
