    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.

    Ehh. Wouldn't recommend this iteration of the series. Gameplay skipped around a lot and froze which has never happened to me with a new game. I got it for super cheap so can't complain about that, the wasted time wasn't fun however.

    Gears 5 is a great looking and playing game that looks even better on One X and then even more on Series X. The story is great and there are a variety of levels with some great gameplay. There is even some great DLC. The game and DLC are free with Game Pass, but having Game Pass I bought this to have physically in my collection. The only downside of the game are the large open world levels that exist in a few places in the game. But even with these the game is well worth playing and a great experience.

    I've been playing Gears since before Dom knew he would be searching for Maria. Gameplay is good, the new weapons suck, and I don't really care for the storyline. Things just aren't as exciting like they were back in the day with the 1st Carmine.

    Still in chapter one it’s been a pretty good experience with great graphics on the X with a 4K monitor looks very clean and crisp. I have only played the campaign as I don’t really do the other modes so I can’t comment on those.
