Critic Reviews
By Neil Flynn
Undeniably, this is a free upgrade worth downloading for new Xbox Series X owners, as it brings over some of the technical performance boosts from the PC version as well as 60fps cutscenes. Owners of both the Series S and Series X experience a number of upgrades including the sublime 120fps in multiplayer, alongside a huge toolbox of customisable options for the main story campaign. Although at the same time, as mentioned in the Cubed3 Xbox One review, the campaign mode still suffers from a weird mesh of linearity in some chapters followed by some bland tedious back-and-forth sandbox exploration. Any Gears of War fan should definitely take Gears 5 for a spin if they really want to test the power of their new hardware but may feel somewhat let down by the campaign mode if they are huge fans of the initial trilogy.

Gears 5 delivers that action blockbuster to the new Xbox Series X with superb visuals, performance and super-quick loading times

Gears 5 is a big, loud blockbuster that brings so much to the table, it's easy to under-appreciate it. By building on the stories set in motion by its predecessor, Gears 5's narrative journey is a benchmark for the series so far with well-rounded characters that are far easier to love when compared to the original trilogy's gruff, motley crew. Once you throw a polished, brutally competitive online facet, Horde's best iteration, and the promising Escape into the mix, Gears 5 becomes a package too hard to refuse considering the clear value on offer. The story's driving force might be "bound by blood" but Gears 5 is bound for greatness.

Gears 5 has a lot of positives, but it still has weak characters who talk a little better than before; the game world is getting bigger, but it's still not that deep; Gears 5 Has an Amazing Graphics and a Fun Gameplay but the game still doesn't know how to use them to enhance the credibility of the series.

It’s a good package and certainly worth your time.
