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.

    Great game that has all the stuff I love about a Gears game with some new twists on enemies and environments. The coop play is rewarding and more than just ‘you can play another character in the scenes.’

    Gears 5, I believe, did it again with an exciting game. The graphics continues to get better, look better and sound quality is great. Gear 5 picks up where they left off - exciting whole new experience.

    Great gameplay with great graphics and action. Fans of previous Gears games will love this game and all it has to offer. The multiplayer is as good as past Gears and should give plenty of replay value.

    I like this game a lot and it’s looks amazing in 4K HDR (I’m using the Xbox One S). I’ve only played online once but it’s horribly unbalanced which may have already been improved or needs to be done

    Best Gears of War game since the original. Definitely a good one for fans of the franchise. I wouldn't pay full retail because it is included in game pass, but it is often on sale for $30 off.

    Gears 5 for 5 bucks is a Best buy if I ever saw one. This may be the only reason to own an Xbox one in 2020. So Gears 5 for 5 bucks gets a 5 star rating because why not.

    Gears 5 is fun. It's more of what you have come to expect from the franchise. The town exploration slows it down a bit since you are running around all the walls looking for collectibles and upgrades. Still a worthwhile play for any fan or someone wanting a good action game.
