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.

    Have enjoyed playing this series from the beginning. And this is as enjoyable, if not even better. If you have played the others in the series, I am pretty sure that you will enjoy this.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I've enjoyed the Gears series and this is another great addition. Plus it was more than worth it at the sale price. I recommend picking this one up.

    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!
