    Run, shoot, sprint, cover, reload rinse and repeat, could a game get any more stale? this franchise has and always will be and play like a 2005 game, no matter how pretty it looks, a real shame and lack of imagination. why we havnt played as the locust yet?

    The DLC’s shorter length does make the juxtaposition between heated, Gears action, and deeper, more heartfelt moments, feel a bit like the flicking of a switch, but the campaign itself is a must-play for fans of Gears. It makes some interesting steps forward for the IP, introduces a fascinating new cast, while the moment to moment is as thrilling as ever.

    Hivebusters is a safe but rewarding package that gives you more of what you love about Gears 5. The characters are strong, the campaign is solid, and gameplay is exactly what is expected. If you are a fan of Gears 5, then this expansion is a no brainer and is easily another reason to get Game Pass.

    Gears 5 Hivebusters is an excellent DLC that expands the lore of the Gears saga and provides us with moments of non-stop action. It's a great example of why single player DLCs should never die.
