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.

I have played all the gears games and continue to love their storyline and online play. I really like that I can play in 4K too really adds to the experience!

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.
