    Hivebusters feels like a proper expansion pack to Gears 5 rather than a tacked-on DLC that was really just removed from the main game. The Coalition clearly put a lot of work into this add-on. Though it doesn’t feel like that full step forward that a sequel would be, Hivebusters remains a robust experience and an essential one for Gears fans.

    In a mad rush between stone idols and legendary monsters, the three hours of Hivebusters will serve to remind you why Gears is still such a damn satisfying series after all these years.
