More like Gears 4.5/5
Huge improvement over 4. Visually stunning, fixed almost every problem I had with 4 (annoying fights with Swarm power enemies, dumb squad AI) and only introduced 1 glaring new one (no save file? Really? A lobby system that erases my side quest completion when I pick it back up the next day?). A well paced story that takes you to a wide variety of set pieces, well written characters, plenty of cut scenes to kick back and enjoy the visual spectacle of.
For the first time since 2006, I'm looking forward to the next Gears game.
