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.

    The focus isn't on Fenix anymore...more the daughter of the Horde Queen. Shocking series of events in the game which I won't spoil. The graphics, sound, characters are top notch. Story is a little re-hashed but otherwise you will enjoy the helloutta this game!

    I have been having a blast with this game. It is by far the most refined game in the series and runs smooth as butter on X1X/XSS/XSX. Can not recommend this enough if you have enjoyed any of the previous Gears games. Even better with a friend!

    Gears of war 5 is true to form in the series. The campaign takes chances this time around, yet feels way more focused than the previous entries. I love to think that gears of war 3 is the still my favorite gears but 5 is giving it a run for the money!

    If you're into Gears of War, this is really more of the same, but with fantastic graphics. I've always found the gears games satisfying if not a little too repetitive for my liking. Keep in mind that I only play single-player, so if multiplayer is your thing, you might have a different experience. The graphics and cover/shoot game-play is as tight and fun as ever.

    Single player campaign is great!

    I'm a long-time gears of war player. I've played all of the games up to this point. If you're familiar with the series, you'll probably want to pick this up. I usually only do the single player campaign so the online is not a big selling point for me. There were a lot of issues at launch on the multiplayer side, so I just stuck with the campaign. It's your typical gears game, which is a good thing. All of the weapons and collectibles are there like in other Gears games. They say that it's an open world game but it's really not because you're not allowed to explore anywhere you want. There are some nice little side missions to do, but nothing too difficult. You can play as JD or Kait on the single player campaign, which is nice variety. Depending on how much exploring you do, the game is about 20 + hours. There's definitely replay value in the single-player campaign, over done it a few times now. All in all if your gears of war fan, this game is good for your library!

    If you're a Gears player you know what that summary means! Campaign: Most die hard fans didn't like Judgement and were lukewarm on GOW 4 but it was needed, the story so far in Gears 5 is back to what made the game great to start with. The added things in the story will help to get others into it and I don't feel like they took anything away from the main story MP: TBH I suck at versus but it's fun and the changes they made should add to it. I am a Horde player and versus AI(go ahead and laugh LOL), Horde is "fresh" again fun to play, haven't played the new Escape mode but looking forward to it. Not to sure about the boost stuff and iron and such, apparently that's how you "purchase" skill cards and/or skins. will see how that works out after playing for a couple of months.

    I was a little disappointed in Gears 4, however it was still a good game overall. This one improves in almost all areas. Pacing and story is better than the previous games. Please note, I purchased the physical game, however it is available for free if you have xbox gamepass.

    Gears 5 - Good Addition To The Series

    Another great game from this series. Game arrived on time. Does require a lot of hard drive space so keep that in mind (114GB). But when you see how it plays and the graphics are displayed, you will understand why. Definitely a good purchase.

    A Little more of the same

    Has all of the classic weapons and characters, however, just like Gears 4, this game has been feeling a lot like Modern Warfare. Same everything (except for new enemies) but overall the same. If you are into Gears 5 (not just multiplayer) then this may not be the game for you. Multiplayer is the way to go (Campaign or Online). Still has some of the buggie graphics and bad AI, but overall a good game.

    I know I'm late to the party but I recently got back into XBox after switching sides a few years ago. This is a series I missed and the gameplay is still incredible. Tj's also looks beautiful on my One X and can't wait to play it on the Series X!

    I like the gears 4 was a good game but I didn’t that was as good as the original trilogy, but this gears 5 was a really good upgrade to gears 4, and you can find gears 5 to 25 dollars which is a steal
