Open world Gears 5 > linear Gears 4.

I didn't mind the open world aspect in Gears 5 but do we really need it? No.

Well... I think the poll should've included a 3rd option like "semi-linear hubs" or "mixed" if we're counting Gears 5 like that.  Because I'd be down for a structure similar to TLOU Pt. II's in that case: linear -> open-area Seattle -> mostly linear but areas feeling more expansive.

Maybe its just me but I never considered Gears 5 as a open world game.  More like a big hub area along the lines of what you stated than anything else.
