Gears 5: Continuation of the Gears of War saga

Microsoft surprised all fans of the third-person shooter genre by releasing the sequel to the Gears of War saga. The release of the Gears 5 toy took place without a drum roll and a festive salute. Which greatly surprised all gamers, because the output of such games is always accompanied by advertising.

Perhaps Microsoft was embarrassed to prematurely praise the game. And the developer wanted to visually, based on user reviews, see his creation from a different angle. Not the point. The game came out standing. Gamers immediately appreciated the new product and began to discuss it on social networks and on thematic forums.

Gears 5: an open world

The first thing that catches your eye is the world around you. How tired of these dark cellars in Metro Exodus, where it’s almost impossible to move without a flashlight. Yes, in Gears 5 the storyline sometimes leads the player into dark rooms. But most of the time, the game takes place in open space. Glaciers, sandy desert, forest - a gorgeous view around. It’s just breathtaking.

Interestingly, the open world in the Gears 5 game is empty. And there are few secrets along the way of the player, not to mention opponents. But there are a lot of secondary locations where you have to perform simple but interesting missions. You can, of course, skip them. But completing assignments helps modify Jack's companion robot. Later, at high difficulty levels, powerful robot modifications will help in battle.

By the way, a robot pumped to perfection can lay down an entire army of enemies in a matter of minutes. With a list of abilities, Jack knows how to find and bring ammunition, smoke enemies from behind cover, paralyze from a distance and make heroes invisible to the enemy.

Gears 5: a reference to previous parts of the game

The developers of Microsoft made it so that the game Gears 5 rigidly intersects with the previous parts of the toy. And, in order to delve into the plot, a beginner who is not familiar with the previous parts will have to study the reviews of the entire saga. Fortunately, there is YouTube and the problem is easily solved.

The developers managed to convey the plot of the game in the dynamics of the relationship of the characters. They were even endowed with characters and habits, which does not look fresh. As a result, the shooter Gears 5 has become much more realistic.

The toy is released for Windows and Xbox platforms. And here, the developers did not hit the face in the mud. Graphics in 4 resolution, and with 60 frames per second, immerses the plot from the first seconds. True, to obtain realism at maximum settings, you will need the appropriate hardware. But this is a secondary criterion.
