Gears 5 Reviews

Have not played a Gears game since the Xbox 360 days and i remember playing it only once. having alot of fun with this. more fun with friends.

极其出色的游戏体验，美术简直无敌舒服，二十多个小时的游戏里一直在截图，画面无比细腻的同时优化也无比逆天，全最高画质稳60帧。打枪体验也是爽爽爽，不缺大场面，TPS界的杰作。第二幕和第三幕的半沙盒也挺好玩，在雪地和沙漠里飙车可太爽了。剧情方面由于没玩过前作，所以个人感觉比较平淡一点。8.5/10

Jugar al Gears 5 en la Steam Deck con los settings en ultra a 60 FPS es la poxxa 🍆

Campaign Review *SPOILERS* Pros: -It is currently the only playable Gears game on Steam -New Game Plus mode with modifiers and other settings to customize your experience. You can swap character skins, carry over upgrade progression, and even swap out Marcus Fenix for Dave Bautista, voice and all. It was cool to see the prospective live-action actor for the character interpret the script compared to the original VO. - Some cool locales and set-pieces -I enjoyed using JACK's abilities. I found they all had practical uses here and there, even if it was only to progress the story. -Basic stealth sections were alright. The enemy AI isn't very attentive on higher difficulties and they seemed rather dumb, but its functional. It is a good thing that the friendly AI doesn't trigger them because I saw my team sprint feet in front of swarm drones on multiple occasions. Overall it is satisfying to pick a couple of drones off before the firefight begins. Cons: -Open-ended levels are a cool concept and a welcome change of pace for uber-linear games, but I found the settings boring and barren. They are a real slog to get through, especially if you want to complete the secondary objectives. I am not a game designer nor do I really understand how to structure a game, but a more condensed level, perhaps a few blocks/streets on New Ephyra with one of the APCs from the first game, would have been a lot more fun to explore than what is presented. -I played on experienced (hard) difficulty and enemy explosives, for the most part, are one-hit kills. Hunters and grenadiers pose a fair(ish) threat, but Scions with dropshots are more frustrating than challenging. Enemies are also extremely spongy. I haven't played any of the Gears games in a while, so I watched some gameplay of GOW and GOW2 and noticed that although explosives are still as lethal, enemies go down significantly easier. - The violence seems significantly toned down compared to previous games. I noticed that blood decals are almost non-existent even on ultra settings, and any blood spatter on the floor or walls almost looks like oil. Blood from getting shot or blown up seems closer to the norm. -The story is bland and follows lots of tropes, you can see things coming from miles away because the game blatantly shows you what is going to happen through Kait's visions. Two examples come right to mind. The whole game centers around you activating a super weapon as a last-ditch effort against the enemy. This is the third time the series has followed this narrative path, with the Lightmass bomb in GOW and the Anti-Lambent weapon in GOW3. It's not even the fact Gears 5 has a similar story, its more that your actions don't feel important at all, whereas GOW and GOW3 had some serious weight to their conclusions. There are some plot points, especially towards the end that seem so forced. It has always frustrated me when characters who have proven themselves capable of wiping out hordes of monstrosities and taking down enemies the size of skyscrapers, etc, get killed off in the most unceremonious ways, i.e. John Marston in RDR. The dialogue is passable, but the jokes and banter between the team can get cringey. -The friendly AI is atrocious. Despite the AI shouting "I see you!" or "I'm coming!", revives are spotty, and more glaringly their offensive capabilities are lacking. I often found myself fighting multiple enemies at once while my team sat passively behind cover far behind, refusing to push up to gain ground with me. Conclusion: It's more Gears of War. I do not recommend this being your first entry into the series. Boot up the old 360. If you don't have one hop over to Epic and pick up the GOW remaster remake deluxe GOTY edition or whatever it's called. That being said, If you're like me and just want to scratch the itch of not having Gears of War games on Steam, this will do. I also got it on sale for $12 which is a good deal. I would not pick this up at full price. Although my cons section was much juicier than my pros, I still liked hopping back into the gears universe and blasting away some subterranean abominations as the COG and for that, I give it a thumbs up.

Fun co-op shooter with the bros. Excited to get more into it with my supped up rig and experience the campaign, just hope they port all the previous games to Steam at some point because I am dying to play them.

Trying to play this game's single player campaign in 2025 is unacceptably frustrating. First an Xbox live account is a hard requirement. It should not be for playing the single player campaign. After logging in the game's sound would stop working. Apparently, it's a known issue with Bluetooth devices that no one ever bothered to fix, with the only solution being some multi step workaround. This is not a decades old game. People should be able to just install and play.

This is a review for the campaign mode only, which I played solo. I have not tried the multiplayer or co-op features. I enjoyed this game far more than I thought I would, once I got into it. I have never played a Gears of War game before so I have no knowledge of the world, characters or previous stories. I have a few complaints but not many, so those first. The bad: - The controls are not great. I used a controller and had to press too many buttons to do simple things. They were also often unresponsive. The robot's abilities - which are your main tools in a fight, aside from weapons - would sometimes just not trigger and I had to press it three or four times to trigger them. - This game has an annoying habit of taking away your weapons. More than once, for "story reasons", I not only lost my two main weapons, leaving empty slots, but my long-distance, powerful revolver handgun disappeared, leaving not an empty weapon slot but some piece of crap SMG. Where did it even come from? I hate when devs try to add artificial difficulty with kind of thing. I feel like my time is not being respected. I took the time to explore and find some of the rarer weapons which the game yanks away without a thought. The weapon storage on the skiff is also useless as they only remain there in that session. Next time you open the game, any weapons you stored for travel have disappeared. The good: - The combat was challenging but not too frustrating. The enemies are quite varied and the game gives you lots of tools to try in a fight - some not as good as others but still fun to try out. - The visuals, voice acting and soundtrack were all excellent. The world design is very beautiful and some of the best music is from when you are travelling on the skiff in the icy biome. - The story was compelling. I didn't know the history of the characters and didn't always know what was going on but what I did get was interesting and kept me engaged. I also mostly enjoyed the dialogue and found myself invested in the characters and what happens to them. - The campaign is a good length (15 to 20 hours, depending on how much exploring you do), without becoming tedious. Overall, I really enjoyed this game and I'm glad that I gave it a try, even though I know nothing about the franchise.

Pretend Gears 4 does not exist. This is a much better game. Nothing compared to the classic Gears of War games but it is still fun. Looking forward to E-Day. Don't let us down.

Good, worth playing. Multiplayer is still solid. Not as good as the first 3 gears though.................

Gears on sale for $12NZD? Amazing worth giving it a go, I loved the old games! Game won't let you play singleplayer without being connected to xbox(PC) account. Game repeatedly gives you an error message when trying to log in to said account even though you are successfully logged into it currently on the companion app. I can't play a campaign solo because the system forced upon me by Microsoft doesn't even Fing work. 1/10 the refund button works.
