    If you're a GEARS fan, I don't have to tell you, just get this title. It keeps the fun and scares coming and will be a great addition to your collection. Much fun!

    Personally felt like this was the weakest entry so far. Story is predictable and departure from previous entries. Gameplay and several multiplayer modes are the reason to buy this.

    I have played the entire series. I know things have changed and some people don' tlike the newer content, but for me it is just a continuation of the original series. The mechanics are very similar, the story is similar with just newer characters and enemies. I love these games.

    Gears 5 is a great continuation. They’ve developed into a little bit of an sandbox open world. I thought it was okay. Still highly recommend if you’ve been a fan of the series.

    While the campaign doesn’t match the level of the first two Gears of War games, it still is a great time. The multiplayer is solid as most of the Gears games have been. I would recommend this to anyone who loves third person cover based shooters or the Gears universe.

    Great game and value for Black Friday . Love the series mainly for campaign missions and some online deathmatch. Not as great as the first 3 but still engaging.

    I love the Gears of War series! The new multiplayer still holds the same feeling as the older ones, but with a modern touch. The campaign is great...trying to beat it on insane mode!

    This fifth installment of the gears of war franchise has blown every expectation out of the water. The story is a nice change of pace and the graphics are far better than the fourth.

    2nd only to Modern Warfare for me. There’s a good chance of addiction and I promise you, when you see the piles of meat on multiplayer, you’ll be hooked.

    If you're a fan of the Gears series you will not be disappointed. It has the same classic features with add ons like new weapons and enemies plus a great plot line in the campaign.

    I don’t know how this was literally 5$ for an awesome game but I’ll take it, even if it is on game pass, physical copies are always good to have anyways.
