I'm kinda surprised by all the hype I've seen for Gears 5. I remember Gears 4 coming over very lukewarm for a lot of people, even with that 84 Metacritic. Gears 5 seems like it'd getting way more positive impressions even if the overall scores are barely different.
Yeah I noticed this too. Even reading the reviews, you'd think either 5 would show higher or 4 would have scored lower.
