I played the whole thing I'm speaking from experience, the character models are average, the open area is basically dead with nothing going on, the trees look like that fake COD style stuff. I think Gears 4 looked better and had more impressive moments. Gears is always hyped as a graphical showcase based on it's 360 days, back then it was by far the best looking xbox exclusive, the jump to 60fps for single player with Gears 5 not only lowered the native res which is fine with me but the graphics were just fine not great. The best looking area was that indoor hangar style building.
