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.

    It's Gears so if course it's good. Payed an insanely low price while on sale. Adds some open world elements to the classic gears gameplay. Oh and the graphics are insane on the series x.

    Got this gem for $4.99 at Bestbuy.com. I know it's free on XBOX Game pass but I'm old school and love to have the case and disk. Only had a few moments to play based on my busy schedule but overall great game.

    This Gears is definitely the best gears they have made. It’s better than my mother grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. It’s better than hot beef farts with the car windows rolled up and the heat on. Get it.

    I've only played a couple of online matches because I'm having so much fun playing the campaign. For me, Gears needs both a strong campaign and a strong multiplayer, and so far, it's succeeding. For $10 this game is a steal!

    More or the same Gears

    This is more of the same Gears for better or worse. The visuals are fantastic and the gameplay is what you expect from a Gears game. I don't feel like the open world areas added anything to this game. The series is starting to feel stale and could use a refresh. I recommend this if you get it on sale for cheap or play it on Game Pass.

    GOW franchise has always put out great games. This one is just OK. Horde features and characters were changed months after game’s release making players very unhappy. Horde experience is often glitchy - npc’s freezing and getting kicked out of game after 40+ levels. You will get a great game playing experience, but previous Gears were better.

    This game was the main reason I bought an Xbox one. I saw the commercial for it and instantly wanted to play it. After speaking with friends about the series in general I’m going to the beginning. I will update once I’ve played it some.

    Another great gears game. Doesn’t reinvent the wheel, which gears doesn’t need but adds a little rpg elements with the weapons and a little open world areas. Overall loved the game as well as story.

    This is a Kool game. I’m a big fan of the Franchise. I still think Gears 3 was the best of them all, but I really enjoyed this one because of how different it was. It’s a Must have if you are a Gears Fan.

    I purchased this game during 2020 Thanksgiving week for $4.99 before taxes. I would recommend to buy this game brand new because the downloadable content (DLC) code is on a voucher. It is quite a bargain.

    The game was visually stunning and its a great entry into the series. It's worth getting the game at a discount though since many other prefer the original trilogy. Other than that it's worth your time.
