    My oldest son asked for GOW5 for Christmas, which was surprising because he doesn't usually play these games. But Gears of War was the exception. He loves that series.

    I enjoyed the campaign. I am not a fan of the multiplayer maps so far. The game plays well, some new modes were added such as escape which is okay. I still play mostly horde, king of the hill and deathmatch. The truth is i preferred Gears 4, but would still recommend 5.

    I have been a fan of the franchise from the beginning. This does not disappoint. Game play is going well and this is something I do not mind coming back to as I have time.

    Such a great game and I only paid $5 for it. This game will look great on the Xbox series X. I played it on the Xbox One X and it looked amazing

    This game plays nearly identical to previous games in the series, just with more polish. The guns, animations, etc are all very similar to what you'd expect. It's a very solid game overall, but nothing completely different from what you'd expect from other iterations.

    If you have enjoyed the previous installments of Gears, you will certainly enjoy Gears 5. It contains all the gooie goodness and gore you would expect and continues the saga you know. Plenty to of familiar weapons, game play mechanics, and bad guys. Enjoyable. Cheers.

    I enjoy the game. Its solid entertainment. The action is good. When Im playing online, I enjoy the action. My friends love it and they dont have to twist my arm all that hard to join them. If you played gears in the past, then you should enjoy this version
