The best advice I was given for playing Escape, the Gears 5’s new co-op game mode, was to crank it up to the highest unlocked difficulty and work backward from there. I pride myself on being able to adapt to gaming challenges quickly, so I figured I could get a quick victory – plus I was playing with two people who worked on the mode.
Unlike Horde’s pressure to defend, Escape asks you to, well, escape. And quickly. In it, a group of up to three players (online or local co-op!) must make their way through a maze-like Hive as their own deadly venom bomb trails behind while plenty of Swarm wait ahead. Even knowing new enemies and weapons awaited, I figured my special companions and I could handle it.
