Customer Ratings & Reviews

The newest installment of the Gears of War series does not disappoint. The graphics are amazing. The online mode is alot of fun. The campaign is detailed and gory as expected. Have not played it on the Series X yet but will soon.

I've always loved the Gears series. I even bought the original XBOX so that I can play the first game. This game continues the storyline and couldn't be better. From the gameplay to the storyline, everything is top notch. An excellent game for anyone!

Gears of war 5 improved its gameplay and graphics it looks amazing on 4K TVs. the story is better than gears of war 4 and multiplayer is fun like gears of war 3 back in 2011. It’s amazing just like the first gear of wars game that came out in 2006

Spending Pandemic2020 playing Gears has been a highlight. I can't understand why the reviews were so negative when the graphics are good, gameplay is fun, and it's a good story line.

The suspense and intensity from the first 2 games in the series is back! They nailed the story and tone this time around. Gameplay is solid as usual, adding customization to one of the teammates is a plus. Multiplayer is also fun and challenging

Campaign was better than Gears of War 4, microtransaction purchases for skins seems quite pricey, Escape mode keeps you interested for a few rounds, but loses luster after several games, Tour of Duty requires too much time to complete, Gameplay is very similar to previous versions, with the execption of the more open sections. Would recommend to others if discounted.

This is such a great game! I love gears and I’ve played and beat every last one of them. If you love the gears series then you’ll love this. It’s got a good story with plenty of action. Co-op on this with a friend or friends is very fun.

I played Gears 5 back to back with Gears 4 and while 4 was solid, it was pretty same-y from the original trilogy. Gears 5 on the other hand, kept the great gunplay, but opened up the world with big areas with different encounters and secrets to explore. Once you get to specific areas attached to the open world, it's more similar to older Gears, with tight quarters and level designs that are conducive to some good firefights. The mix of environments and pacing they achieved between the two is really the shot in the arm the series needed and helps it to feel fresh. I had a great time with this game.

Finally we get a gears of war story that is very human and heartbreaking. The gameplay is very rocksolid and the multiplayer is outstanding but the single player storyline is hands-down the best in the franchises history.

Love the gears franchise, but was a little disappointed with gears 4. Not a bad game just not as good as it could be. After playing through 5 they definitely uped the ante. Story is 10x better than 4, graphics are incredibly in 4k w/the X and tweaks to gameplay are a welcomed addition. Got it with $10 preorder reward from BB so at $50 it was a great value.

I've been a fan of Gear of War since the 1st one & it gets better & better. Everything from the storyline, characters, weapons & the graphics... I recommend getting this game!

For an old gamer, this is reminiscent of the first Gears played on my original XBOX, only the story line is better, and the graphics are great, which compliments this franchise!

I want to love Gears of War 5 because of how great the gameplay is but I just can’t. I will say that if you only play Gears of War for the campaign, you absolutely should buy it because it’s great. I know a lot of people were worried about this but there’s no political messaging I noticed in the story. The story is excellent, by the way. My only issues with the campaign is that open world is too dead and boring at times, and the ending is an incomplete cliffhanger. The multiplayer is where I absolutely despise this game, though. If feels more casual than competitive, which I know will upset some people, but the biggest problem is the absolutely absurd pace of progression all in the name of trying to force you into buying microtransactions. If you choose not to give in to this horrible system like me, it will take you almost FIFTEEN HOURS OF GAMEPLAY TO UNLOCK NEW CHARACTERS! DO NOT buy this game if you play Gears for the multiplayer aspect!

Bought this online for my sons birthday on black friday. Picked it up in the store with ease. Hes been playing it and I watch and am just in awe with the graphics and the storyline. Great purchase and definitely recommend.

Gears 5 has great graphics and great new gameplay can be challenging but it's worth a play! Loved the challenging bosses Great story! great graphics !great gameplay! It is also Worthy of another playthrough

I love the GOW series. And this game was a lot of fun. Awesome campaign and Horde was crazy good. But it felt like they were angling a little too hard on the social justice scale. I didn’t need the lesson on inclusion. But, I won’t get too deep. Play for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

This game has amazinf graphics and has a awesome store line to continue from the last game. 10 out of 10

I was so excited for a new gears game which happens to be my favorite Microsoft first party i.p this game has it all from story telling action and graphics a must have for any gears fan.

The story mode i think played far better than the previous installment. The addition of escape and updates to horde mode really made it fun to play online.

the game keeps u going graphics are amazing game play is amazing they did a great job with it ending could have been better but beside that I'll play it over and over the online play was amazing as well
