How much longer till reviews? I can only afford 1 game this month and am deciding between Gears 5, Astral Chain or Control.

Agent Icebeezy Thanks for the pics, fam. Nice to see some street level marketing!!

How long until reviews are up? I'm still sticking with 88. Come on reviewers, don't let me down. I need mah internet points.

I think it'll be around 92. A fair amount of 10s, a large amount of 9s and few less than an 8.

It seems to be doing everything a Gears game could be expected to do.

This will score better than Gears 4 hopefully. I'm going with 87 meta and 88 open critic.



4 hours and 20 minutes.

Thanks. Hopefully a few 'leak' so we get an idea of what to expect. The anticipation is killing me!

It seems like i'm in the minority here thinking 90-91 is doable. Can't see this scoring around the same as Gears 4 - that game had 2-3 acts that are nothing but boring robots encounters and forced horde chapters. Easily most underwhelming moments in the whole Gears series.

Assuming you enjoy Gears multiplayer, you'll get the most value out of Gears 5 by far. I've finished Control, and I'm playing through Astral Chain right now; go with Gears 5 if you can only buy one. Its the best long term bet.

Id be surprised to see any higher than 87, I expect something like 84, which is pretty good.
I would be surprised it doesnt score higher then Gears 4 wich has a 8.4. With the main complained it felt to safe. Seems Gears 5 addressed things on that, Then it should be higher really. Also there is more content then Gears 4.

I feel it has to be between 88-92. Gears 4 got a hugely respectable 84 already and the feedback from previews universally said this improves on 4 in every conceivable way. So on that basis it's certain to be higher.

i hope it tips 90 because I want all games released by Sony and MS to be brilliant. Why would anyone want otherwise?

So, so far we had Polygon and GameSpot in tweets hinting that they find it better than 4,right? Any others since then?

I'll predict (symmetric) 88. So it will probably be 87 or 89. I think it looks very good (based on videos, previews and tech test) so I'd be surprised if it scores 84 or below.

A 7 for Gears 4 is low yeah. Sure you can think Gears 4 was safe. But the overall package of the game doesnt warrant a 7 unless its broken.
