    Visually stunning when maxed out, Gears 5 for PC comes with a very solid campaign and lots of exciting multiplayer modes that will keep you entertained for a long, long time.

    Much like its iconic Lancer Assault Rifle, Gears 5 functions as perfectly as it was designed. The developers threw on a chainsaw of character, narrative, and content to make an over-the-top, thrilling experience from start to finish. Gears 5 is a badass game, and you'll come away feeling more badass than the legendary Marcus himself.

    No matter which mode you approach it from, Gears 5 is an incredibly fun and polished game.

    This is an intense blockbuster which delivers its brutal action just as advertised.

    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.

    It's just another Gears game, but a more charismatic protagonist and a few experimental mechanics at least give the series a more firm footing going forward.

    Familiarly solid cover shooting with the occasional surprise. It’s fitting The Coalition has opted to simply call the latest game ‘Gears’, because mostly, it’s just going through the motions.

    To start off, I made an account to rate this game, I've never felt this way with a game before.

    Honestly this game is a pile of crap. First    To start off, I made an account to rate this game, I've never felt this way with a game before.

    Honestly this game is a pile of crap. First Gears game that I have ever played, I played with my friends who said the previous games were better. Anything would've been better than wasting 16 hours of my life to beat this campaign, that had a decent story that I probably would have cared for if the game didn't either: crap itself for me or a friend, or have 10000's of bugs in the campaign alone.

    I don't know how they could've released a game so halfed assed that Destiny 2 had a better year 1. I feels like there is no support from the Devs, none of the bugs have been fixed since we started playing this game and we played over many months to JUST finish the sad excuse of a campaign. Half the time the cut-scenes wouldn't even load for 1 or all of us. For me, I didn't even get to see the end of the damn game cause the cut-scene killed itself mid way through and left me hanging out in the world space.

    If I could get a refund for this game, I would take it in a heart beat, sadly it was a gift from a friend. Still hope he can get a refund for this game.    … Expand
