A nice bite-sized Gears campaign. Play for the gameplay, because I don't think anyone was dying for the backstory for the mode I've already forgotten the name of.

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.

Bem legal, mas será que necessária?

Hivebusters é uma DLC curiosa. Ao mesmo tempo que ela é linda, divertida e bem construída, ela é desnecessária por não agregar absolutamente nada na história de uma forma que vc pense "ah, legal, preencheu essa lacuna".

Na verdade ele até preenche, pois dá a lore para o modo de jogo fuga, mas ele é apenas um modo de jogo multiplayer onde precisamos nos infiltrar em uma colmeia swarm para infecta-la com um veneno e escapar. A DLC conta como chegamos a conseguir essa toxina. Na campanha principal, em momento algum a gnt joga ou vê isso, então ao mesmo tempo que é legal, não complemente em mt coisa.

Agora, ela deixa uma possibilidade em aberto para ser desenvolvida no próximo jogo, pois a toxina é usada contra os swarms, logo.... é uma teoria que poderia ser legal de ser abordada, então vamos aguardar o que a Coalition vai fazer.

No mais, personagens são carismáticos e se encaixam MUITO bem, mais uma vez os cenários são deslumbrantes e o divertimento é garantido. Vale a pena jogar, principalmente pegando através do game pass, então é uma gameplay obrigatória para a franquia, ainda mais por ser curtinho.

Not too much to say about this one. It's been on my list for a while and I polished it off this weekend in a few sittings. It's Gears, but on a tropical island setting, so you know what to expect. You progress from one linear environment dotted with waist-high blocks to the next, shooting gribbly alien monsters making your way from set-piece to set-piece. There's the bit when you're stuck on a moving object for a while as you try to fend off enemies who shoot down at you. There's the bit where you have to defend your position against enemy hordes for a set amount of time. There's an almost ridiculous amount of sliding down slopes on your backside while shooting. There's a couple of boss battles. Stop me if you've heard this before.

It looks lovely on ultra-wide with everything turned up to eleven, and it clips by at a decent pace for its three hour run-time, but I imagine it'll prove entirely forgettable. It's probably best played with a couple of mates as a co-op campaign that you can get through in three or four sessions, one that's not going to take up too much of your time or brain power.

Gosto que essa DLC volta com a fórmula +ação -conversa característica da série, porém é tão curtinha que quando começa a esquentar... acaba.

Resumo: é boa (e anuncie o 6 logo The Coalition)

It's just more Gears 5, but a much more tight, shorter and action packed package. It's solid and fun as hell
