Gears Of War 5 Walkthrough Part 1 No Commentary

So, you’re diving into Gears 5. Awesome! And you're going for the "no commentary" experience? Even better. Let's just say, you're choosing the scenic route. Buckle up, because it's a bumpy ride, filled with robot sidekicks and emotional rollercoasters.

Act 1: Escape from… Well, Everything

Right off the bat, you're thrown into the thick of it. Imagine being tossed into a monster truck rally, only the trucks are Locusts, and you're armed with a chainsaw gun. Good times!

You start with JD Fenix, the son of a legend. He seems pretty cool, trying to fill his dad's shoes. But honestly, it's Delmont Walker who steals the show. He's the best friend, the voice of reason, and the guy who probably packed extra snacks for the apocalypse.

The Hospital Horror

Think hospitals are scary normally? Try visiting one when it’s overrun by Locusts. The eerie silence, the flickering lights – it’s straight out of a horror movie.

And the Imulsion. Everything is glowing yellow, which is never a good sign in a video game. It feels like someone spilled highlighter fluid all over a nightmare.

Then there's the awkward family reunion. Marcus Fenix is there, predictably grumpy. But deep down, you know he’s just happy to see his son (sort of). It’s like watching a dad try to understand TikTok – endearing, but slightly painful.

Act 2: Kait's Inner Turmoil

This is where things get interesting. We shift focus to Kait Diaz, a tough soldier with a mysterious necklace. Let’s just say, that necklace is more than just a fashion statement.

She starts having weird dreams and visions. It's like watching a soap opera, but with more chainsaw rifles and less daytime drama.

The Search for Answers

Kait is off on a quest to find out where she came from. Think of it as a family history project gone horribly (and violently) wrong.

She gets to use a Skiff, which is essentially a wind-powered iceboat. It looks like a giant ironing board on skis, but hey, it gets the job done. Especially when you are trying to go fast on ice.

The environment is stunning, with frozen lakes and windswept plains. It is a nice change of scenery from the demolished cityscapes. You almost forget that you’re battling monsters.

The Big Reveal?

We soon learn there is more to the story than just good guys vs. bad guys. The truth is far more complicated than a simple video game can portray. Betrayal, secrets, and family drama. It's like the writers of Gears sat down to write a soap opera.

Kait has a connection to the Locust, and maybe even something deeper. You will be wondering, is she friend or foe? Will she turn to the dark side? You are almost screaming at the monitor "Tell me!"

All in all, even without the commentary, Gears 5's opening acts are a whirlwind. It's a mix of intense action, surprisingly beautiful landscapes, and characters dealing with some seriously heavy stuff. So grab your Lancer, keep an eye on your ammo, and prepare to be entertained (and maybe a little bit emotionally invested).
