You would be forgiven if you're going into Gears 5 not expecting much. While the series has created a space for itself in the history of gaming, it's often been criticised for linear gameplay and weak storylines.

When Gears of War 4 released in 2016, it acted as somewhat as a reboot for the series, introducing a new cast of characters with JD Fenix, the son of Marcus, Delmont " Del " Walker and Kait Diaz leading the charge.

Excellent

Buy Gears 5 Gears 5 launched to consumers about a month ago. We ran an initial campaign review but held off on scoring so we could give the multiplayer a look with full server populations and real-world conditions.
