Gears 5 Reviews
For Gears of War fans, this is a package that is essential, and a game that certainly surpasses its predecessor.
A female protagonist, more comedy and increased tactical options bring subtlety without sacrificing adrenalin
The latest Gears of War game is still the gory Gears players know and love, but The Coalition is working hard to evolve Microsoft's shooter
The Coalition has slightly fiddled with the formula, and whilst some adjustments need to be refined for future entries, Gears 5 is ultimately the gorgeous third-person shooter you want it to be.
Gears 5 once again feels like a safe bet by The Coalition. You can start to see the developer thinking about new ideas and potential directions that the series can go, but Gears 5 feels largely familiar. The additions of some new features and a new mode added to the fan-favorites that return make for a robust package though.
The Coalition has achieved a lot with Gears 5. The writing and action often rivals the best moments in the series, even surpassing its predecessors at times. The overall package is the most robust Gears has ever seen. But, the big structural alteration feels like an unequivocal misstep. Gears 5 is a rousing success, but it could've done without the needless change.
If you’re any kind of shooter fan, this game has earned your attention.
Gears 5 plays around with the formula a bit, but it's still at its best when it's just being a solid-ass Gears of War game.
Gears 5 biggest changes don't reinvent the series, but give the classic shooter more room to breathe. Let Gears be Gears.
Gears 5, is a decent addition to the franchise. Fans will love the story and lore and will equally enjoy the combat. It doesn’t reinvent the COG but then again, it doesn’t have to.
As one of the best releases from Xbox Games Studios “old guard” of IPs, you shouldn’t miss giving this game a shot.
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.
Gears 5 will be a pleasant and enjoyable experience not only for the fans of Gears of War but also for all the gamers. However, the game struggles with lots of technical problems and can't convey the feelings of a real Gears of War to the players as best as possible. That being said, Gears 5 still manages to show why Gears series is one of the best and most unique videogame franchises of all time.

As a multiplayer experience, Gears 5 offers up a wide variety of options, and something is sure to please almost every type of player. There are some rough edges, especially with the way character upgrades are handled, but the core gameplay is solid and satisfying. Combined with the campaign, Microsoft and the Coalition have given players an amazing value, especially if you are getting the title via Game Pass. It may not be perfect, but it'll provide hours of fun, and that's what matters.
Gears 5 is one of the best instalments in the series, the story surprises us with some twists and the multiplayer content is massive, but the series needs to find a new direction in the future before it suffers from fatigue.

Gears 5 is simply a very good game, tailored for the fans of the series. The new installment works great regardless of whether you play alone, or in coop, as well as during multiplayer battles. Sure, maybe it's not very inventive and rather similar to previous GoWs, but in this case, it’s a great recommendation.
