If I had written this review when the game first came out, this would’ve been a 3 to 3 1/2 stars. Great campaign that was unfortunately filled with broken servers, little content for characters and skins, grind heavy, and littered with microtransactions for most of the weapon and character skins.
But now, all of this has been addressed; stable servers with a reworked ranked system, mostly eliminated the invasive microtransactions, and full of new characters and skins you can earn.
Highly recommend, especially on PC or the Series S/X.

Love the game play and the graphics. What I mostly love about this is that you can play two player co-op during the story mode. Great game!!!!!

Gears 5 aside from a bizarre choice in the campaign is one of the best stories in the series. Open world is fun and Jack is really an awesome interactive addition.
Multiplayer isnt a finished product but it's improved since the abysmal launch.

This is the best feeling and best looking Gears yet. Very fun to play, good campaign and hoard mode are great. Slightly open world but still streamlined story.
