    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.

    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

    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.

    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 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.

    Played gears 4 just because we were looking for a split screen local co op game. Beat the game and had to get gears 5. Definitely fun and will buy gears 6 if one ever was to come out.
