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.

    Just played this with the SeriesX enhancements and it looks amazing. The game also added some nice exploration features not found in previous entries, so it’s a fresh take on the Gears of War franchise.

    Got this game on clearance, and what a steal price for a great game for the Xbox consoles. Made even better when playing the updated version on Series X.

    Just started playing it, so far the game hasn’t disappointed. Gears of War series is just an Xbox exclusive and you know it always brings out the best graphics the gaming system as to offer especially on the Xbox one X.

    Gears of War 5 is a continuation of the Gears Saga. In short, you can expect great graphics, great gameplay, new modes, such as "escape," and plenty of "add-ons" to come. Although the game play has a different feel compared to previous versions of the game, it is well worth having in your collection if you are an avid shooter gamer.

    Not as bad as some reviewers say. I didn't have any problems, straight shots. The game is easy, the graphics are better, and overall much better than Gears of War 4.

    Nice Addition to the Gears series. I am glad to see we went back to the original gameplay a bit. A few glitches here and there but still the game gets 5 stars

    There’s a reason the original gears of war was named game of the decade. This is the best cover based shooter and continues to influence from GTA to the division.

    Loved the game and story. I like purchasing the digital version because I can play on my pc and Xbox without any issues. Saves transfer over between systems so you can continue gameplay.

    Got this for free when it was on sale for $5 and I had expiring points on my account. If you have Game Pass on Xbox, I recommend playing it there! Game is fun and have lots of content.

    I can't remember the last time a game came out that was 4 player split screen co-op. 10 stars for that! Game has a few bugs that I'm sure will be fixed with updates, but doesn't ruin the game. Definitely recommend.

    I’ve enjoyed all of the Gears games and this preserves the outstanding gameplay the series is known for along with eye-popping graphics and sound effects. The only flaw is the incorporation of open-world elements which fell flat. Hopefully the developers keep Gears linear for the next game.
