DLC je dugačak oko 3h. Lično, ovaj DLC pokazuje grafičke mogućnosti next-gen konzola, sve radi u 4K/60fps i izgleda predivno.

The rythm is excellent, the implementation of characters' abilities is the good idea, and the graphics are quite amazing here. A must for those who liked the franchise.

The Coalition spared no resources to bring us a story DLC that’s absolutely on par with the base game in every aspect. Hivebusters offers three highly enjoyable hours and left me hungry for more.

Good DLC. Party AI still leaves much to be desired but played in 2 player coop. Takes about 3 hours to beat. Played it on IntermediateGood DLC. Party AI still leaves much to be desired but played in 2 player coop. Takes about 3 hours to beat. Played it on Intermediate difficulty. Ultra settings, looks fantastic and runs smooth. 30 second unskippable splash intro and then about two minutes before it loads the menu. Snatchers still suck but at least it isn't like Gears 4. Xbox app and Windows Store app on PC still suck for downloading games, on 300 internet and getting capped at 7.5 download speeds, despite using all tricks and workarounds that can be found (Xbox's support on this is terrible). Has an FoV slider, goes to 100 so could use an increase but a lot better than nothing.
