    I don’t play it anymore because of Apex Legends, but it was worth it when I did buy it. So if you enjoy Gears then go ahead and buy this. Have fun. There may not be many fans left though due to the expanding battle royale games.

    If you are a fan of the series like I am, there's a lot to like here. Combat and cover mechanics are as good as ever. I'm also a big fan of the lore of this universe and it doesn't dissappoint on that front either. If you are a fan of Gears at all, pick it up.

    This is one of the few Xbox console exclusives, very fun game that is also available through GamePass. I love that they have the capability to optimize their games quickly and just make them amazing all around. Great buy!

    Hands down the worst gears story of the franchise. Multiplayer is still good but the main campaign fails to deliver. Hopefully they go back to marcus and his crew as the main characters in 6
