The campaign is kinda bland and boring. Lotta plot gaps, some plot armor that doesn't really make sense. On insane mode there really isn't any aggro on any of the bot teammates and enemies seem to bum rush right past them for the main player and the bot teammates don't really do anything and just let them right by and all mid close encounters being instant death is pretty infuriating. The shotgun is pretty much the only side weapon worth having bc pretty much all the enemies just bum rush all the time right past the bots. The multiplayer is all pretty much just gnasher which gets old fast. Horde is still good. The end of the story made it seem like gears 5 will mostly be about saving that shelter chick's daughter bc the swarm will want her for spoiler reasons, but I feel there's a big difference between foreshadowing and completely giving away the story. Which from like act two you pretty much already know how the game ends. There's not really any plot twists or anything suprising plot wise. Kinda just a bland game, really doesn't hold a torch to gears 3. Being that 5 already has halo DLC characters and outsourced for publicity before the game is released and hinting at micro trans i think is a really bad sign for gears 5. Kinda didn't like that most of the campaign was a plot rehash of "oh the (now swarm) locust are abducting people and they abducted a lady important to one of the characters and now we gotta save her but it's too late" same exact story as dom with his girlfriend. It pretty much just took plot from 1 and 2 and smashed them together. 1 being the introduction to a new locus/swarm threat and 2 I think is where doms wife comes into play.
