While past games in the Gears of War series have always placed a heavy emphasis on run and gun, cover-based fights, Gears 5 adds a few more elements to the combat.

Instead of constant dogfights, sections of the game integrate stealth into the equation.

Entire areas are devoted to moving around sneakily, as Gears 5 has chosen to move away from cramped spaces to focus on more open-world environments.

As such, you’ll need to have your wits about you as you traverse these large areas, all the while hoping that your enemies don’t.
