GoW Ragnarok (which was generally a bore fest) was the opposite for me as this game. Loved GoW 2018 (one of the best stories in gaming) and I dislike most other Gears stories EXCEPT Gears 5.
But at the end of the day everyone can say their opinion and no one is wrong.

No thanks, not even if they were giving it away.
- For a person who prefers open world (or at least open area) to being locked on rails, Gears 5 was a breath of fresh air. The wind skiff was really fun/fluid, and I liked exploring for (optional) additional resources like components. If you love rails, this will probably be your least favorite Gears game.
- The weapon/aiming feel is so much better than the previous games. I mentioned it within thirty seconds of starting the intro. This actually felt like a modern-ish shooter after 1-4 was pretty retro.
- The story was...a Gears story? It's not like the storytelling in the series is on the level of Witcher, Fallout, etc. For me, Gears is more like Halo: lore is there if you want to dig on your own, but what is actually in the game is a basic shooter narrative framework.
- I can't speak to online multiplayer since I have no interest in it.
It's worth mentioning that this and the Hivebusters DLC are both included in Game Pass.Leave a Comment
