The latest Gears Of War action game has been welcomed by both strong reviews and an enthusiastic response, though not enough to depose Remnant From The Ashes, Counter-Strike tournament content, and The Witcher 3 from the Steam chart's top three, while Borderlands 3 prepares for a Sept 13 release on the Epic Games Store.

Expect to see Gears 5 feature Sekiro, Devil May Cry 5, and the very recent Monster Hunter: World – Iceborne expansion, Astral Chain and Control on end-of-year lists and in discussions about 2019's best action games.
