Gears 5 Reviews
To sum up Gears 5 in a word would be “satisfying”. From the combat, plot, and ensemble of characters, it all fits neatly together in a well-wrapped present.
I think Gears 5 is a resounding success for The Coalition and Xbox as a whole. We’ve been crying out for quality first party games for ages now, and Gears 5 has managed to hit the standard everyone wants.
On top of the strong campaign are the three equally strong multiplayer modes, making the game a great option for that competitive itch. Gears 5 continues to take the series in a different direction, and I can’t wait to see where it heads next.
Gears 5 is a firm evolution in a multitude of ways and is arguably the most complete package yet!
Gears 5 gives us a robust campaign worth reliving, a familiar Versus and Horde experience, but a poor progression system takes off some of the gloss, even with the new Escape mode.
Does Gears 5 revolutionize the series and take third person shooters into a new stratosphere? Absolutely not. But it continues to build upon everything Epic Games did right in the original trilogy, and what The Coalition has been expertly refining since taking the helm with Gears of War 4. Anyone that’s been invested in the lives and personal stories of these characters since the beginning owes it to themselves to play through this latest entry. But even if you’re jumping in to the franchise for the very first time, there’s an amazing game to be experienced here that will most likely compel you to go back and play through everything that came before it when you’re done.
Gears 5 offers plenty of content to enjoy, but nothing to fall in love with. In the end, I found myself at a crossroads with the game modes, with each road having enough bumps to keep myself from travelling on with the game.
The story of Gears 5 is so breathtaking, that to be honest, I cried many times. Gears 5 moved the series in a new direction, but unfortunately some older mechanics can still make you angry. It was difficult to determine the final degree of recommendation of the title. So we give an excellent eight, but if you are fans of the series, or looking for a title that you can play with your friends on the PC calmly add one more point to good. Now we have no choice but to pray that we will see the sixth part soon and I hope that I will get it again for a review.

Gears 5 more than lives up to that legacy. With only a couple hiccups, Gears 5 delivers a nearly flawless campaign I cannot endorse more wholeheartedly.
The Coalition takes Gears to new places, finally building on top of the superb foundations of Epic Games' action masterpiece.

By most metrics — polish, graphics, writing, acting and engaging game play mechanics — Gears 5 is an impressive product for both solo players and competitive or cooperative shooter fans. But moving forward, the series desperately needs to venture into new ways of telling its stories and pacing its encounters.
Gears 5 has a lot of positives, but it still has weak characters who talk a little better than before; the game world is getting bigger, but it's still not that deep; Gears 5 Has an Amazing Graphics and a Fun Gameplay but the game still doesn't know how to use them to enhance the credibility of the series.

It’s violent, it’s gorey, it’s bloody, and story intense. It boldly delivers an emotional investment that will certainly surprise the hell out of gamer’s who decide to experience it. I for one implore any fans of any third person shooters to play Gears 5, it’s damn sure a hell of a good time. Gears 5 has Game of the Year potential written all over it, and will surely be remembered as XBOX One’s best of the best.
It’s a good package and certainly worth your time.
Ambition and quality for the return of one of the most powerful action sagas of the last lustrums. Gears of War 5 is not only a great video game production, but it's also tremendously comprehensive. The Coalition has made some very powerful decisions to move the saga forward, and the play has been tremendous.

Gears 5 is finally marking the beginning of a new era for Microsoft Game Studios. It emphasizes the narrative and the personalities of the protagonists in the right way, while keeping the elements that have given a specific identity to the series for so many years.

As one of the best releases from Xbox Games Studios “old guard” of IPs, you shouldn’t miss giving this game a shot.
With Gears 5, the developers truly put their best effort in giving the players a game perfect in every aspect. However some flaws can be found: the narrative aspect has some issues, and the multiplayer part of the game is afflicted by many errors.
