    This game has a great story and the best graphics on ANY console this generation. Yes even better than God of War! Also this one is semi-open world. And plenty of multiplayer modes.

    I've always loved the Gears series. I even bought the original XBOX so that I can play the first game. This game continues the storyline and couldn't be better. From the gameplay to the storyline, everything is top notch. An excellent game for anyone!

    Gears 5 is a great continuation of the series. The gameplay is fun and the characters and bad guys are designed well. I've had fun playing what little I have so far. If you're a fan of the series you should pick this one up as well.

    Big fan of the GEARS series and this game doesn't disappoint. I picked this up at Christmas for $5! Worth it! The addition of open world gameplay was very nice, and there are plenty of things to collect.

    The suspense and intensity from the first 2 games in the series is back! They nailed the story and tone this time around. Gameplay is solid as usual, adding customization to one of the teammates is a plus. Multiplayer is also fun and challenging

    Gears showing it's Age

    The Good - It's Gears, you know what you're getting. Swarm has a new queen, go kill everything, rinse, repeat. The new Jack features add some options to gameplay, but now you have to complete open world fetch quests and explore every inch of map if you want his abilities to be worth anything. It stretches out the game and makes it more tedious than enjoyable.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
