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, some new moves, but respect for the classic game play. Some games ruin the essence of the original game play. This is classic. Enemies are a little weird sometimes, but game play is like the original.

    The Gears series never disappoints especially with the latest title. Superb gameplay, great presentations and immersive environments. It's up to par with the rest of the games.

    This is not your original gears game. This is a sequel of a sequel, like a prequel. Some characters you know are here. Game was somewhat short. Would recommend nonetheless

    One of my favorite Gears single player campaign's to date. The issue with the game is the bugs. I had to restart the game a few times because the game would not load the next part. Also it just abruptly ends out of no where. Its a lot of fun and very worth the $5 I paid for it.

    This is the fifth game and the series and if you played the ones before you will like this one too. There are only a few games series that are exclusive for the Xbox this one is one of them

    Couldn’t pass up getting this game on Black Friday sale for $5. If you’re on a budget and want a game that will give you some excitement & time to play. This is a good game for you.

    It’s a Gears game. You can’t go wrong. However, remember that all Microsoft first party games are already on Game Pass if you prefer that option.

    Got Gears 5 standard on sale. Same basic concepts in the game, just prettied up on the Xbox One. Also, on a side note, Best Buy shipping is horrible. This game was placed in a bubble envelope and the case was cracked. Use a real cardboard box next time, Best Buy!

    At $5 I can’t complain plus it’s one of my favorite Gears game in the series. I know it’s on Xbox game pass but doesn’t hurt to have a physical copy

    1st party games always are better choices than 3rd party games because their quality is a better game. Gears of War has always been a Top Choice game from XBOX
