Coop mode is a little janky, can't see upgrades. But still fun combat.
Update: Upgrades seem to work now! Super fun getting to play a different character, especially Jack!

More like Gears 4.5/5
Huge improvement over 4. Visually stunning, fixed almost every problem I had with 4 (annoying fights with Swarm power enemies, dumb squad AI) and only introduced 1 glaring new one (no save file? Really? A lobby system that erases my side quest completion when I pick it back up the next day?). A well paced story that takes you to a wide variety of set pieces, well written characters, plenty of cut scenes to kick back and enjoy the visual spectacle of.
For the first time since 2006, I'm looking forward to the next Gears game.

É melhor que o 5, e melhora em muitas coisas nos aspectos de gameplay (Gostei da intercalação da gameplay com o robôzinho e as skills, e o semi-open-world funcionou bem na minha opinião) mas em discorrência desses pontos positivos, diferentemente da narrativa sem sal do quarto game, a narrativa do quinto é horrível, transformaram Gears em um filme da Marvel. E eu vou nem entrar nos aspectos de multiplayer, pq se for falar disso a nota vai acabar caindo pra um 3.0
Finally went back to finish this and had a good time.
Każda gra w coopie smakuje znacznie lepiej. Nie mam tutaj wyjątku. Mechanicznie mamy to co w poprzedniej części, ale miło się patrzy jak zwiększa się nacisk na "filmowe wstawki" w trakcie gry.
Genuinely great writing, runs like a dream, fun engaging gameplay, wonderful multiplayer, no game since 2 has really captured the gears vibe perfectly, but it's still a fantastic cover based TPS
This review contains spoilers
Having played through all the gears up to this (except 4), it is mind boggling to me how good this game is compared to the rest. I mean they weren't that bad, but this one actually has story moments that work in game, and not just when i think about that moment separate from the game. The game also looks stunningly beautiful, when original gears looked like poop. When you are first going down the ice hill in that vehicle, it was such a beautiful moment to me, along with finding out there were small open world levels, simply amazing for Gears.
The open area skiff parts were truly awful
The gameplay changes were absolutely refreshing, especially after the weak fourth entry. However, the writing in this is downright laughable, and just never feels right.
The fifth of the saga, keeping the same dynamics than the previous ones, arcade FPS with same bugs and dynamics than previous ones, anyway a shooter with 1 emotional point in each game and destruction everywhere.
Genuinely felt like Anton Ego tasting ratatouille and this game brought me all the way back to that same feeling I had when playing Gears 2 & 3.
Gears 5 was a significant direct improvement from the kinda underwhelming Gears 4. The story was excellent with tons of cool little details and nods to the original Gears trilogy and some self-aware in-jokes regarding the disappointing Judgement spin-off. A game that stands out in visuals, mechanics and writing; with excellent multiplayer modes and practically endless fun. My only critiques are that the achievements are insanely grindy and the Insane difficulty is ridiculous and unfair most of the time.
Gears 5 is a welcoming callback to the original trilogy and belongs in the top 3 games of the franchise.

STOP GIVING GOOD LINEAR GAMES OPEN WORLDS FOR FUCKS SAKE IT'S COMPLETELY UNNESSECARY
Leagues better than Gears 4. Good boss fights, varied enemies, great visuals. But at the end of the day, there's been very little innovation in this franchise. It's still essentially the same formula since the first game. The combat, though tweaked, feels very familiar and is extremely monotonous -- it doesn't help that the combat is 90% of this game.
English/German below
This is an epic package of Gears.
After roughly 10 hours I completed the Story and didnt expect such a good campaign. It was different in its gameplay parts, you get a lot of shooting but also more silent parts and for the most important u have a lot of fun with the gameplay/graphics and characters.
I would highly recommend this game, also if u just want to play the story. Besides that it has a lot to offer in multplayer modes.

Hat richtig gefetzt. Hab die Kampagne durchgespielt und richtig viel Spaß damit gehabt (10std)
Hatte eigentlich nur ein bisschen Actiongeballer erwartet, aber doch mehr bekommen. Diversität im Gameplay, sehr starke Inszenierung und wirklich ausgesprochen gelungene Synchronisierung.
Technisch war das ganz auch super glatt, hatte auch keine Bugs (wurde scheinbar inzwischen gefixt). Gespielt hab ich online, keine korrumpierten Spielstände oder Gameplayaussetzer. Einzig ganz selten Mal ein Framerateeinbruch, aber absolut im Rahmen.
Von der Schwierigkeit, gab es auch auf normal schon die ein oder andere knackige Stelle, insgesamt also schon fordernder. Die KI hat zu jedem Zeitpunkt einen richtig guten Job gemacht. Hab zwar nicht alle Sammelobjekte gefunden aber bestimmt 90%.
Werd mir jetzt nochmal die Online PvE und PvP Modi ansehen.
Insgesamt 4.5/5 Dicke Wummen.

I appreciate the greater emphasis on storytelling and world building. Gameplay was tight and fun. Game was perhaps 2 hours too long. The 2nd open world section added nothing to the game and felt there just to add time to the experience. I liked "the choice" and I went with the option that I think Kait would have chose and what I thought made a more dramatic ending.
My hope is that in Gears 6 we can go back into Marcus's shoes. I don't mind Kait but I think putting them together throughout most of the campaign and letting us choose who to play as would be a nice touch.

Destaque forte pro elementos novos com o personagem Jack e os enxertos de level design mais aberto. Amei o tratamento dado às armas fora do padrão, permitindo que cada jogador mantenha o loadout que mais gosta, mas adotando em certos momentos uma troca forçada. Essa forçação faz sentido em algums momentos onde há timeskip e outros elementos diegéticos. Mas em outros....pouco sentido faz.
The opening cinematic for this game is next level, it is awesome. The gameplay is fun and being able to have me and a friend play co-op and the paths diverge like original Gears is a good idea with some fun mechanics. A few small bugs that we had to reload due to, other than that, a solid addition to the Gears franchise.
Mejor que el 4
A welcome upgrade over Gears of War 4, Gears 5 is a highly polished and exciting entry in an otherwise stagnant franchise.
Es mejor que Gears 4 en todo. Es como si Michael Bay hubiese hecho un juego MUY BUENO (pero suyo, al fin y al cabo).
Las partes de exploración son muy ligeritas y no han entorpecido tanto como pensaba que harían.

Much like with 4, I know what this is and I know that what I played isnt the main point, BUT, it improved a whole hell of a lot on nearly every aspect of 4′s campaign so that was welcome. The robot buddy wasnt super well fleshed out but I like upgrading things, the campaign was longer, the open world parts were small but a good little change from the rest and wouldve been annoying if they were bigger, and the graphics were chefs kiss. Only real beef was that there are parts that are just super fuckin dark, which sucked, and that the two different endings arent superrr different from each other. Like the main difference is the guys dad is mad if his kids dead or not, everyone else is still vaguely sad about the whole thing.
Also with the length the flaws of a third person cover shooter really come into focus, like how your characters slow as shit and movement is very clunky and imprecise. So that was less good.

Probably the best gears game, it has some really great arenas and enemy designs, dropping JD as the protagonist in favor of Kait was totally the right choice which makes me wonder if she wasn't the main character of 4 because they were afraid of having a woman given that even in 4 the story revolves around her, this leads to a really personal tale with just the right amount of fanservice moments, it's also the only one where conflict between the main characters actually feels believable, the new weapons are also a lot of fun same with Jack's abilities that manage to keep every combat encounter engaging, without a doubt the best game Microsoft shipped this entire gen
La campaña es mejor que la del 4, pero peor que el 1, 2 y 3. El online apesta bastante. Al menos tiene modo horda.
Fucking bullshit robot. So much fun.
WHO TTHE FUCK WOULD WANT TO PLAY AS THAT
WHO TTHE FUCK WOULD WANT TO PLAY AS THAT
The gameplay changed, sometimes is linear or open map, subquests and Jack apps...
Too much hype before the game lunch, nothing makes truly sense in the game, and a weak open end.
Definitely the worst Gears... R.I.P. Jack :(

Starts super strong with some excellent linear level design- extremely chunky and satisfying combat boots and cold steel shotgun shell toothy crunch type shit. As soon as it opens up, all momentum is lost to some extremely underwhelming nonlinear segments. Story is also pretty mediocre. Oh well. Another mediocre triple A game, watcha gonna do. Played on my roommate's X Bone.
Mejor que el 4, o al menos me ha sabido entretener mejor.
Toothless.
this is an AAA shooter campaign done right. Stunning visuals, varied level design, and the open-world elements work surprisingly well.
Depois de maratonar a franquia por um ano, esse é de longe o pior. Acho que até pior que o 4, que até tem momentos relembráveis. Mas não é ruim, só é chatinho.
