I've only played Gears 4 and 5, but I agree with most posts that the next Gears should be linear. Open world in 5 did nothing to add to the game experience, it was just there and I felt like it was totally pointless. The game would be better off without it. Also don't like this trend of making everything open world. Coalition can definitely come up with great Gears entry without making it open world. I think the question whether Gears 6 will be a massive step up in the series or not depends more on what they do to refresh core gameplay rather than open world vs linear.
