    Nice Black Friday deal. My son loves playing this game. He has it on his Gamepass but it is nice to have the discs of his favorite games especially when the internet goes out.

    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!

    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.

    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.’

    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

    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.

    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
