    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 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

    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!

    Well, GOW, what a series. I have played each and every one of the GOW. I do not think was my favorite by no means does that mean it was a bad game. It kept me on the edge of my seat and the graphics flexing the XBX One X capabilities is stunning. A definite must.

    They need to improve some small gameplay aspects

    Great game. Fun, decent story, but I miss all the carnage from the older gears games, and the blood stayed around. And when you hit someone, they actually had some weight behind the hit and were thrown in much cooler ways. Small I know, but it seems like a slightly lesser graphics were put into the "most powerful console". Still get it, it's fun, and maybe they'll put better graphics in 6???

    Gears 5 has great diversity in atmosphere and new landscapes that gives the franchise a refreshed look for older fans of series. It is a fantastic direct sequel to Gears 4. Definitely a must buy!!! Most importantly controls are tight and the Graphics are brilliant!!!

    Gears 5 is a great entry in the series. It looked great on Xbox One X when I played it initially. I've since upgraded to an Xbox Series X and looked at it there, and Wow. It looks amazing running at 60fps.

    I purchased this digital copy of Gears 5 for $5. Could not pass up buying this iconic game for my Xbox Series X at such a great price! If you're a fan of the Gears games, then this is a must buy.

    If you liked Gears 4, you’ll enjoy this latest installment. The campaign is fun and challenging. There is some ability to play an open map style (only in one area so far) which I enjoyed as well. Haven’t tried any multiplayer stuff, not really my thing.

    Granted 3rd person shooters are different from 1st person and this game tries to make some bold assertions in today’s world. But it’s still Gears and still a blast. You can also start the series here and work backwards if you’ve never geared up before.

    The newest installment of the Gears of War series does not disappoint. The graphics are amazing. The online mode is alot of fun. The campaign is detailed and gory as expected. Have not played it on the Series X yet but will soon.
