At it's core, Gears 5 is exactly what you expect a Gears game to be, peppered with some new ideas that keeps things fresh.
The inclusion of an ability system and a handful of more open area's are cool additions that shake up the formula just enough to keep things interesting, while remaining true to the cover based shooting gameplay that the series is known for.
It's also an absolutely gorgeous game. The weather effects are fantastic and no one part of the game outstays it's welcome.
It's probably not gonna convert any of those who already aren't into the series, but if you want Gears, this is all the Gears you need.

better campaign than the previous entry. Don't care for the 'open world' direction the series is moving in. at least the open world busy work is optional and kept to a minimum. great looking game though. lacks the brooding atmosphere and greyness of the old games.
Screw that Berserker fight.
