    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.

    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.

    I love the first one and have taken Potter much a break since then. But G5 has sparked my interest in the series again. Graphics are awesome and the story keeps you immersed throughout.
