Gears 5 is a fun sequel with a few glaring issues.
Our US chums reviewed it on Xbox One…
Lets start with the positives:Gears 5is the most visually stunningGears Of War game ever made.
The art design is absolutely incredible, adding bright colour to a usually drab and grayish series.
Fenix, the questionable stand-in for the sometimes unbearably macho Marcus.
While the Fenix boys appear inGears 5, they play a supporting role to Kaits quest.
Seriously, riding the skiff on the red sands of Vasgar is mesmerizing.
It almost looks like it belongs in an entirely different series.
Over and over again.
Its a nice little RPG-lite mechanic thats a welcome addition to the experience.
Yes,Gears 5multiplayer is still a shotgunners paradise that comes down to who can pull the trigger faster.
Getting in your opponents face and blowing them up with one well-placed shotgun blast is still highly addictive.
The maps sampled for this review were Asylum, Icebound, Bunker, Vasgar and Training Grounds.
Playing King Of The Hill on this map is just so good.
