Gears 5 Dares To Be Different

I haven't played a gears game since the first one, but as a Game Pass Ultimate owner I decided to try out Gears of War 4 in prep for 5 because of these changes. And I'm very glad I did. I personally love it -- thought Gears 4 was a lot of fun, but 5 gives me everything I want in the form of better shooting that feels more precise and manageable while scratching that itch of exploration in the gorgeous environments.

Really nice to see them fleshing out this world by mentioning a place and then you travel there as opposed to a cutscene and then reappearing at the new destination. The world feels right for the lore of the series and at 60fps on Xbox One X, it's a real looker, too. Love it.

@ShakesMcQueen that's a lie. I met gamespot. She's a cool dude. Kind of smells like BO though...

I thought GoW 4 was boring as hell and completely unnecessary as a sequel. Here's to wishful thinking that Gears (of War presumably) 5 will be a LOT better.

I'm a series-long fan, but I'm fairly certain this is an advertisement -- not an actual article.

It's great to see how this video acknowledges the evolution of Gears 5 BUT in the review it says the opposite with its lower than fair score.

So tell me GameSpot, is it an "evolution" as you say on this video or is it a "rehash" as you say on the review....it can't be both.

As so GameSpot.
