    Direto ao ponto bom demais, pena que é curto acaba quando você começa a se emocionar. A música no final deveriam aparecer mais delas durante a campanha.

    Pretty good. Areas look amazing (not really a gears of war vibe as much as a traditional western fantasy look tho) end boss design looks unreal. Main issue is the ending is awful, as it tries to convince you the ending to the dlc is the new multiplayer mode, which is an awful choice.

    Apesar da qualidade gráfica ser nota 10, a jogabilidade e a história continua a mesma coisa, atira, corre, atira, entra em cobertura, atira, corre e etc... Faltou uma história mais parruda.

    A nice little campaign expansion, the new gameplay mechanics are great, but the story and the pacing are all over the place.

    Sections getting repeated again and again, there are many times where you feel like you're doing the same thing.

    It's alright, I enjoyed my time with it for the most part, but after a while I just wanted it to be over.

    Final Rating: "Average" ~ 5/10.

    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.
