Gears 5 is interesting game. It has a nice graphics and a solid story. Co-op mode is there so game is more enjoyable playing with friends. I opened multiplayer and as soon as I saw swarm (pun intended) of micro transactions I just left the multiplayer menu.
Game mechanics are well known from the previous Gears titles There is a kind of unnecessary open world which I think was included just to pass the time by. It’s empty, poor and just not interesting. Also devs could ease up a bit on cinematic videos and let the gameplay tells the story without interruptions.
All in all I enjoyed the story campaign and manage to finish it during this free period.
I give this game solid - 7/10.
