    Complete garbage.

    Graphics remind of a 2007 game (I play on GTX1080 Ultra settings): Everything is so low detail and has that wet effect even if it is sunny. Character models are disgusting up close (zooming with scopes you realize your fingers have no details like fingernails etc). Anything not on the menu screen is low-res. It seems like they only paid attention to the weapons only    Complete garbage.

It seems like they only paid attention to the weapons only when you view them through the menu, not in-game. The world is low detail and a disaster.

    A copy of Division: They copied the Division formula and everything is online, there is a HUB you see others (all look the same because character creation is limited to 6 presets).

    Atrocious character customization: There are only a few presets to choose from. All look ugly. You can't change anything on them except hair style (not even colour!).

    Voice acting is laughable. Lip sync is non existent and all over the place.

    Story starts garbage and is highly uninteresting.

    All characters are unmemorable and look like a joke.

    Microtransactions are EVERYWHERE. Anything you see has a paywall in front of it. The game is a joke costing 50euro for the Standard Edition (and ludicrous 100euro for Ultimate) and yet you have to spend a fortune in-game for weapons, cosmetics, boosts.

    A HUGE disappointment by Ubisoft. If Wildlands was 8/10, this one is definitely a 2/10.    … Expand

    Trash game. Don’t buy it! The game is unfinished, load with millions of bugs. There’s a main mission that 4 identical dead bodies appears in the same room and another identical one nearby, it’s just way to lazy, and the whole QA team should get fired.

    Boring predictable main story line with endless soulless side quests. Expensive game price but cant play as they are using potatoes for the server. but good graphic with good optimization.

    Let's talk about the game play.
    First, where are the ghosts? (I mean your teammate not the ghost you see in ghostbuster) All the previous Ghost Recon game in the franchise that I play is about being part of a team. Like in advanced warfighters or wildland. The explanation of developers said it’s to make you feel alone behind the line. Hum like all the previous game I assume, we feel stuck behind the line with your team, it’s even more stressful because you’re in charge of their life. And if the goal is to make you feel alone, why is their multiplayer coop, and all the advertising was made displaying a team of for… I suppose that the real reason is that developing team IA was too expensive and too much time consuming, let make a market instead. So here we are with the same game mode as “The division” but with lack of talent.
    Secondly, this game is fu**ing slow! Each action takes too much time to perform with the slowest animation I have ever see. It’s just frustrating when you’re engage in combat and you need to fast disembark, or just climb over a tiny wall….
    Finally, this world feels empty and lifeless... The choice of putting the action on an imaginary island why not. But after the huge work made in wildland to bring life in a fake Bolivia world this new island seems dead. There is no activity in the settlement and town. Okay the island in under martial law, but the few amounts of PNJ you meet seems to just have lose their soul.
    To be fair this game brings interesting new features like the stamina management, the climb and falling mechanism (that make the 1 point instead of 0). But everything else seems undone, the global quality seems very poor for a AAA games. This game is just a money maker surfing on the success of the previous opus.    … Expand

    But considering that I get to write two reviews, I might as well add a few more points.
    So, hey, did anyone else notice how the game cant stay consistent with its own story right away? I mean we crash land on the island, being one of the few surviving ghosts and need to get reinforcements, but at the same time we see the hub being filled with other ghosts. How does that make sense from a story perspective? Right, it doesn't.

    Lets also talk enemy AI, its horrible. I am not sure if they put any work into it at all, considering the enemies in the Division 2 are a lot smarter. Or F.E.A.R. and that game was released in 2005. Enemies in that game reacted to my flashlight, meanwhile in this game you shoot someone and the guy next to him reacts in classic Skyrim fashion.

    What else? Whats up with that plane that flies over you from time to time that, when it spots you, instantly spawns two drones and enemies to hunt you down? Who thought that was a good idea? I get that you are being hunted, yes, but this is the laziest implementation I can think of. This is like the forced cut scenes in Far Cry 5.

But it didn't. After almost constant frustration I have to say this game is one of the biggest let downs of a game I've ever seen. The game has potential, the idea of the game is a great one. The execution of said idea, absolutely abysmal!

    Let's start from the beginning. I woke up bright and early at 5AM where Iive so I could play the game as soon as it came out. There I am watching the Uplay launcher where it says "Coming soon", the clock rolls over to 5 and nothing changes. I close the launcher and reopen it hoping that changes it. Nope. minutes pass by, nothing changes, then hours go by (sooooo glad I woke up early for this) and still nothing. I tried updating by drivers, uninstalling the game and Uplay and reinstalling them both. Still, nothing! Finally about 6 hours after the game released it said "Play" and I was filled with joy. I click play, wait for the logo screens to go by, press space to start... and the servers are down. I look around online to see if I'm the only one having these problems and nope I'm in NO way alone. 2 hours after this the servers are finally up and at this point I had already lost a bit of hope for the game after reading other people's reviews but I wanted to try it for myself.

    The very first thing I found was a very lackluster character creator. Literally you get to choose face shape (which also chooses race), eye color, hair style, hair color, and facial hair. That's all! And there aren't many options for these things either. No clothes, no detailed face customizer, nothing.

    So I create my character (which took less than 2 minutes) and watch the opening cutscene. As soon as I get to the first playable part of the game I immediately notice the graphics quality has been set to satan's butthole levels of low. Keep in mind I have a 2080 graphics card and tons of Vram and the game looks like it was made 10 years ago. So I get to settings and change everything to where it should be. Cool.

    The first few minutes of play involve a lot of changing the controls because WOW are they bad when you first start. There are a lot of buttons that do 2 or 3 completely different things depending on whether you're aiming, prone, or just running. Makes NO sense.

    Now let's move onto the actual gameplay because it was only after all of this that I actually got to play at all (8.5 hours after release). This game does combat very well, I will say that. The enemies spread out as they're moving towards you, and generally you have to watch your back a lot. The problem comes when you look at pretty much everything else. The looting system seems cool until in 10 chests you get 5 Dragunovs, 3 M4s, and 2 of the same LMG. The gear system makes no sense as a level 5 bandana protects your head more than a level 4 combat helmet. The car handling and driving controls have no bearing on reality whatsoever. There are many cars that get up to full speed in 1 gear, and your car is either as grippy as an F1 car, or you're spinning wildly out of control, there is no in between. Drones are annoying with how random they are. Plenty of times I would have to stop in the middle of a mission and go hide. I tried shooting one down but within 3 seconds Elites had completely surrounded me and brought smaller drones with them.

    Hold on I need to catch my breath.. Done, let's continue.

    The daily missions seem cool until you realize right from the start you're getting dailies that say you need to be level TWO MOTHERLOVING HUNDRED to complete. I thought "surely they must be joking, they wouldn't put this on my map if it were impossible" but nah they one shot you. One super annoying thing is the skill/perk system. When I started I got a few skills but realized not much was changing. That's when I realized that half the crap in the skill tree are actually "perks" which are way better but you can only have ONE active at a time and they don't mention this at all. The really stupid part of this system is that to unlock more things to spend points on, you have to spend points in specific categories. What this means is that you'll end up having to spend points on things that you don't want, "perks" you're not gonna use, and things that aren't even really helpful just so that later you can maybe get more useful stuff.

    The list goes on and on and on but at the end of the day there's SO much in this game that makes you say "Why? Why would you make it that way? Why would you put that in the game? Did you not test anything?" and by the time you stop to actually look at the game objectively you realize that the game is more frustrating than it is fun. Sure, it has it's moments, as few and as far between as they may be. And I truly hope that in the future Ubisoft do their best to remedy all of the issues with this game. But for now. I'm clicking Uninstall.    … Expand

In addition, the world feels empty compared to Wildlands, yes i know the story is different but still it just feels empty with the lack of civs. This core of the game is not a ghost recon game. This game is a combination of destiny, division and Wildlands. For me Wildlands was a great game if you played with a good group of friends. I was hoping they would add on to what they did with Wildlands and make it better, but sadly they went the other direction and failed with BreakPoint. The game itself does not know what it is, is it a realistic shooter? is it a looter shooter? is it an RPG? The developers tried to implement so many different elements into the game so that they could add allot of micro transactions. This mutilated form of a ghost recon game resulted in its breaking point.… Expand

    The game's biggest flaw is how incredibly boring it is. The story is just incoherent babbling, there are no characters apart from the main villain, who is nothing special but at least you don't forget him within 30 seconds, and doing the objectives just feels tiresome.

Who else does this?

    Technically it's also a mess, with bugs, crashes, servers going down, performance issues, you name it. It also looks and sounds about half a decade older than Division 2, which is inexplicable. It's like the teams who made these two games were on different planets. Its microtransactions also are well past the "cosmetic" line. You can buy almost everything in the game, but it doesn't really affect multiplayer, so you're basically expected to pay to cheat in a single player game. So if you do that, will the game become fun at least? No, it won't. It still sucks. Honestly, it's not even worth playing for free if you have Uplay+. You will have a better time laying in bed and browsing on your phone than playing this, that's how uninteresting it is.    … Expand

The series has had its ups and downs with certain titles but Wildlands finally delivered on
    a game that seemed to embody a special operation unit. Yes wildlands had its flaws needing work on things like the friendly AI & vehicle driving mechanics to name a few. It needed work but was still a great game. Breakpoint would have been an easy win and easily a great title just needing to fix some mechanics from the last one and give us some cool stuff to do it up nice.

    I loved Wildlands because that's what it was a stand alone game that was different than what was on the market. So Ubisoft had a nice platform to work off of. But they managed to screw that up.... Breakpoint is the Division 2 with a better stealth mechanic & less sponginess w/ enemy ...change my mind!

    Breakpoint is a Division 2 clone.
    Here let's look at the features of the Division 2;
    Tighter camera 3rd person camera that you can’t adjust
    Snap to cover
    Loot based system
    Crafting
    Lone wolf no friendly AI
    Required online
    Oh wait sorry that's all Breakpoint

    Also the menus have the same feel and layout of the Division
    THEY RUINED Ghosts.

    But what really ruined the whole game and takes the experience they were trying to portray and literally blows its own face off is the full online (just like the division) with the community area which happens to be where some missions are. So when I walk into this cave I see 100s of other players that are online right now. So how am I suppose to "role play" or buy the scenario that I'm all alone? There are literally 100s of “Ghosts” in this cave. I mean it's literally an army...an army of ghosts. I felt more isolated in Wildlands than I do in Breakpoint.
    I didn't like Division, I played Ghost Recon Wildlands because it wasn't Division, nor did it feel like it. Not everyone wants the same game experience across every game you make. What is the point of having multiple titles if they are all the same f@#$ing thing?
    Lets not forget the buy your way to the top garbage they have added in here. Yay micro transactions … said no one ever

    So to Ubisoft
    F The Division
    F the Train Wreck that is Division's Clone
    Just take your trash you call video games and go to hell. I’m done with your company period.
    oh did I mention F@#K YOU?!

    Bonus: Their servers are down so that always online garbage no one can play on their big launch day. WOW you suck ha!

    Game movement feels juddery and very sporadic, almost to a point where you feel like you're detached from the character.
    The further fact that you can buy your skill levels puts it on a par with Star Wars Battlefront 2. The game is littered with micro transactions. Don't expect to get too much enjoyment from this game, it is clearly an attempt by uplay to make money from nothing. I'm glad I didn't buy the whole game and used uplay+ to try it out, otherwise I would have been £50 in the hole for something I uninstalled 2 hours after installing.

    Let me lead by saying that I loved playing Ghost Recon Wildlands. The world was interesting, the controls felt natural, firing your weapons felt satisfying, the stealth was mostly balanced and the gameplay was fun, even if a tad repetitive.

    Unfortunately, Breakpoint is none of these things. The very first thing I noticed as soon as I loaded into the game was the introduction - or    Let me lead by saying that I loved playing Ghost Recon Wildlands. The world was interesting, the controls felt natural, firing your weapons felt satisfying, the stealth was mostly balanced and the gameplay was fun, even if a tad repetitive.

    Unfortunately, Breakpoint is none of these things.

    The very first thing I noticed as soon as I loaded into the game was the introduction - or rather, lack of one. Sure, there's a advertisement video from the bad guys, but that's it. Then you are straight into the character creation screen. There was nothing to get me actually hooked and interested in what is about to happen. Maybe that would have been alright if I haven't played Wildlands, but I have, and this intro can't even be called a shadow of that one. This pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the game.

    By the time I was minutes into the first opening mission, I was already struggling to keep interested. Third person controls are always a hit and miss, with so many considerations that first person simply does not have. I felt Wildlands did a pretty good job. Breakpoint . . . doesn't. Movement is clunky, awkward, and I almost felt like my character had a permanent limp - which I thought was by design at first (because of what happens in the intro mission) but nope. Your character simply moves that way, like an awkward 3 legged llama. And I haven't even started talking about the aiming and shooting mechanics.

    I have never had quite so much trouble just shooting through a window. When I walked up to the window in question, the window sill was barely waist high. When I tried to actually aim through the window, however, it felt like I was suddenly a toddler carrying a bazooka. Your character also has a penchant for leaving cover in the worst of situations like . . . say . . . while being blasted at by two gatling guns. Apparently, turning around while in cover (middle mouse button in Wildlands) is too difficult a concept to grasp. It's much easier to move away from the cover and move back into it.

    And yes, you WILL be blasted at. If you were hoping for an amazing stealth game with a team of Ghosts, taking out entire bases like . . . well, ghosts, prepare to be disappointed. There are no AI teammates in this game. At all. Apparently, that's something that's coming soon (tm). If you have friends, you can ask them to play with you. If you don't have any, or just hate people, you're gonna have to fight the entire paramilitary force on your own. While technically you can still stealth your way through the entire game, taking out an entire area without raising a single alert has pretty much gone out the window - if you were fighting a bunch of weapon bearing guards.

    The problem is, weapon bearing guards are the least of your worries. You see, the thing about this game is the drones. You can't get a headshot on a drone, because they don't have heads. You can't CQC assassinate a drone because . . . again, they don't have heads. Or guts. Or groins. You can't even snipe a drone because it took me 3 shots to kill one - and that's with the right sniper rifle for my level, because yes. This game now has item levels.

    Drone are everywhere in this game. Like every other enemy you face, they have levels. Unlike every other (human) enemy you face, you can't kill them with one hit - so if you wanted to challenge yourself by going to a late game area, good luck. They are there to act as bullet sponges in a way human enemies can't. Not only do items have levels, items also have qualities. If you've ever played Division or Division 2, this is the same thing. You almost certainly will get into a fully fledged firefight - even if you are Deadshot with 100% accuracy. I think that's gonna be a "nope" to the stealth.

    If you've ever played the Division, then you might remember being able to see other players in the "common" bases. That's now the case for Breakpoint. It's no longer a single player game with coop available. It's a multiplayer game that can be played in single player.

    All of that, and I haven't even talked about the many, many technical issues many players have reported. I haven't mentioned them because, well, I haven't actually experienced any. That's unfortunately the only positive feedback I can give about this game right now.

    This game is an atrocity bearing the Ghost Recon name. It's pretty much the Division 2.5, rather than a good successor to Wildlands. Everything that made Wildlands fun has been stripped out, but don't worry - you can buy these in the in game shop.    … Expand

Typical Ubisoft open world, but this time it is much worse than previous ones. Microtransactions. Part of cosmetics are purchasable using ingame currency, and part of them can ONLY    Cons:

    Big, beautiful open world with basically nothing to do. There are enemies and camps scattered everywhere, but they are just there to try to convince you that the open world is not completely useless. Typical Ubisoft open world, but this time it is much worse than previous ones.

    Microtransactions. Part of cosmetics are purchasable using ingame currency, and part of them can ONLY be purchased in Ubisoft store. Moreover, there are "time savers" purchasable with real money in the store that allow you to skip certain amount of grinding. Since publisher wants to earn money, it is extremely likely that the game is designed to be utterly grindy so that people are urged to purchase time savers to skip to the fun part.

    Gear score and tiered loot. Before any "one shot headshot kills everything" counterargument, I finished the main campaign with GS 50, so I know well about that. From technical perspective, the problem with GS is that it is tied to enemy perception, so if your GS is lower than theirs, they can just magically see you far away. From immersion perspective, it is utterly garbage. No idea why a bonnie hat provides more protection than a FAST ballistic helmet. They could have made this a little bit better. Helmet provides resistance, bonnie hat provides mobility and concealment etc. Ghost Recon, from this point on, will never be a hardcore military tactical shooter. My assumption is that it is added in to artificially expand the limited gameplay. Developers' lame defense suggests that it is implemented to create variety in players' builds. It is a lie. Variety can be created in a million ways, such as unique perks, skills, meaningful attachments, deeper gun modification, etc.

    Guns. In a tactical shooter game, basically nothing is more important than the gun. In this game, TAC-50 uses .338 rounds instead of .50, and MP7, one of my favorite submachine guns, uses 9mm rounds instead of the iconic 4.6mm. When a game about using guns screws up the gun, good job.

    A game built around microtransactions. This game uses many methods to either force players to socialize or keep players online as long as possible. The game has a social hub, which is not only immersion-breaking but also useless. It presumably forces players to purchase cosmetic items to show off to strangers. Battle reward system is placed in the game so that players feel the need to log into the game everyday, therefore they have a better chance of making a purchase in the store.

    AIs are bad. Not as bad as those in betas, but still bad.

    Bullet sponge drones. Well, developers have to do something to justify the lame tiered loot and GS system.

    Muticam locked behind raid. Basically developers way of saying "Please stay in the game. I know the game is bland and boring, but, please, you will one day get your favorite multicam." People are forced to grind for GS to participate in raid to get multicam.

    Pros:

    Graphic. I never doubt Ubisoft's ability to make a beautiful open world. Graphic in this game is awesome.

    Prone camouflage is a good idea, and nicely executed. It is satisfying to see my character just "melt" into the ground while pointing my gun forward, like a sniper waiting for his/her prey. That is awesome, especially when you use the game to capture interesting picture.

    Movement. Besides some inconsistency migrated from Wildlands, such as you suddenly cannot vault over or climb up something (with full stamina FYI) while you can do that to identical things. Movement system is pretty good assuming character is carrying a 50 kg backpack. Sliding downhill is fun, but the fun stops when sliding downhill screws up my control scheme. But this bug will likely be fixed easily.

    *Stared at the screen for 10 minutes and admit that those 3 are the only pros I can come up with*

    All in all. The game is raw. It feels like that it should have been baked for a few month more to both iron out glitches and add something interesting. The game can be fun if you are not a hardcore GR fan starting the first game in the series. I just hope one day, Ghost Recon can return to its root. Not all games need to look the same, play the same, and feel the same. There are looter shooters out there, and let them be looter shooters. Please do not just smash looter shooter genre into Ghost Recon, especially if executed this poorly.

    I don't really have a problem with the in game microtransactions. I know it's annoyed a lot of people but the guns and attachments are unlockable in the same way as in wildlands, and haven't been made any harder so I do believe these really are "time savers". The other purchases are cosmetic and frankly if people are buying them, then they are the problem and the reason developers keep putting them in games.

    Now for breakpoint as a game.

    The good:
    The gun combat at long range is mostly the same as wildlands. I did notice a bug where the visual indicator of the shot, and where the shot landed was wildly different at range but this only happened once.

    Thats it for the good.

    The bad:
    You need to always be online, but the servers undergo constant maintenence and disconnect frequently, leaving the game unplayable.

    No AI teammates. These have been replaced with a consumable sync shot drone. The cynic in me believes this could be to encourage people to buy microtransactions crafting materials. Luckily its not difficult to find most consumables while going about the game.

    Graphics. They are just horrible. Lots of pop in, bad animations, muddy textures, wildly swaying grass for no reason, the darkness in the game just doesn't work. It's hard to explain but everything just goes haywire.

    Gameplay. This is where it really let's itself down. The cover system automatically finds cover when crouched. In theory. In practice it just doesn't work. In close quarter it will get you killed. Over and over.

    In single player you can unlock a skill to let you self revive, however since it's single player, the enemies who killed you have nothing else to look at. By the time you revive and go through the animation, they have killed you again.

    Missions are bland and all play out the same way. Go here, hold a button, go here, hold a button. This is not much different from wildlands, but the npc giving you instructions in wildlands gave the missions more life. If breakpoint all in mission instructions are generated from text documents. It's just boring.

    Mission breaking bugs are present in the majority of missions. As an example, last night I had to break prisoners out of a prison. I did this, escorted them to the safe zone. Nothing happened. I noticed that one of the prisoners was still stuck 600m away. I decided to ask the prisoners who were already at the safe zone to wait, at which point a mission fail triggered, saying I'd left a target behind.

    The script and voice acting is horrible, with the exception of Jon Bernthal. A lot of the dialogue doesn't make sense. The script is very B movie, which would be fine if this was EDF, but it takes itself too seriously for a script this bad to work.

    The weapon/equipment level is pointless. It possibly effects your ability to take out drones, but since headshots are still one hit kills its pointless. The game would be much better without it.

    The social hub area has no reason to exist. You play as a stranded marine in need of backup, but the social area is filled with many many other marines in the form of other players. It makes no sense in relation to the plot and having other players in the hub serves no purpose (except possibly allowing a player to show off all their microtransaction cosmetics?)

    The vehicle handling is some how worse than wildlands. They explode for no reason.

    The drones. The drones are a nightmare. Every now and then a uav flies over and you have to lay in the dirt. If it sees you it summons more drones. I really don't see why they added this to the game. The drones are clearly the justification for the weapon level system, but for me they are just another aspect ruining the game. They were definitely designed with multiplayer in mind. Infact, it feels like the whole game was.

    Enemy AI is even worse than wildlands. In close quarters they funnel through the same choke point like fish in a barrel. At range they stay still when you've blown their comrade's head off. If they do run off they'll stay behind cover indefinitely until you move. I'd probably do the same, but as an enemy in a game it's a boring behaviour.

    The survival mechanics and bivouacs don't really add anything to the game.

    Getting around the world feels boring because the world is so drab and dead. I genuinely enjoyed flying or driving between missions in wildlands, it felt interesting and alive. Its just not the same in breakpoint.

    Conclusion:
    All in all I just don't think there is a salvageable game behind breakpoint. The systems are too intertwined but don't work together, the setting is what it is and the script would have to be changed to the point of changing the whole game. Short of starting from the ground up, I really don't think they can save this one. I'd recommend giving it a miss.    … Expand

    Think Assassin's creed Odyssey with guns and drones instead of swords and an eagle, add to that it's always online and if their servers are down, you can't play. I honestly don't care about the massive amount of micro transactions they shovelled into it because I won't ever spend my money on them.

No wonder devs did not care about filling open world with any meaningful activities - you are not meant to traverse whole world but instead meant to pay more money to skip intentionally boring lazily copy-pasted grind locations.

    "How deep can a massive publisher / developer sink?"

    I think this is what must've gone on through the heads of all employee's of Ubisoft, but shivering from fear of losing their jobs, they decided to not say a single word to management, or management simply choose to ignore feedback and criticism. Instead - Ubisoft brought the world the following: - A good looking game. - A game    "How deep can a massive publisher / developer sink?"

    I think this is what must've gone on through the heads of all employee's of Ubisoft, but shivering from fear of losing their jobs, they decided to not say a single word to management, or management simply choose to ignore feedback and criticism.

    Instead - Ubisoft brought the world the following:
    - A good looking game.
    - A game that's fun to play, with your friends, especially when you are drunk and you don't care about using tactics nor effort.

    But sadly, I think with those two points mentioned - that's all the positive I can say about this game, because wow! How did they manage to get this through quality-assurance / quality control, the game is:
    - Buggy
    - Tons of micro-transactions, all optional, it's not as if you have to buy it, but ... come on guys most of these add nothing new to the game compared to what you already paid for (you can literally pay money to unlock a weapon, that you can already get for free in game).
    - Boring & repetitive, as A.I. will simply spawn in the same position over and over again during defend objectives.
    - Cheaply "balanced" - as in, you have something called: "gear score" / levels of your equipment, if your score is too low - due to outdated gear - you'll do less damage a system similar to TC: The Division, and I wasn't too happy about that game either.

    On top of that, you can clearly notice where A.I. spawns, as you might've just checked a certain corner / bush - and then a couple seconds later: Bam - an enemy in a previously cleared sector, as someone who likes to play a bit tactical and challenging (as was possible in TC: Wildlands !) - this completely ruined my gameplay.

    And no - I didn't mind them not putting this game on Steam, but I do hate myself for not being able to refund this anymore as it was hardly worth the effort.

    Ubisoft yet again destroyes a game with good ideas by trying to pander the game to everyone. Listen, i bet it has been said a million times, but a good game that does a specific, targeted thing very good, is almost everytime better than a game which does everyting mediocre or in this case bad. The Open World looks good but is empty and shallow. Enemy have next to no AI. The Story has an interesting cocept but fails miserably at execution. Again, you could cut out like 70% of the map and make them concentrated, well made Levels. You are supposed to be "like a paratrooper behind enemy lines" right? You never feel like that, the only thing that a little bit resemble that, are these surveillance drones that spot you from high in the sky. Again, what were the thoughts behind that? You are alone (or in a team of 4) behind enemy lines, every step, every attack must be wisely chosen, keeping your ressources in mind. Are the risks worth it? But no you have a huge safezone in the mountain with free chopper right from the start with unlimited ressources.

    Atleast the keep updating the game, even though these updates really show that the developers (or who was responsible) didnt think things through. We know have a realism mode, were you can adjust the games difficulty , the hud and turn off weapon levels and some world stuff (like the drones). These are in generel great, especially the difficulty options so i can make the game like a Ghost Recon back in the day, where every shot is deadly and stealth is mandatory. Though as mentioned before this clashes hard with the game design at its core. So, for example, before i actually played the main story, i spend like 2 hours adjusting the difficulty options just right, and then i got into a story mission where you have to blow up some bomb drones with a chopper. Now you can of course land for all 5 objectives, each in different bases, kilometers appart, but the way the developers apparently wanted you to play the mission, was to take the npc with you in an attack chopper, and bomb them on the way. Now, you have made a "tactical" "realistic" "stealth" shooter, and decide to put in vehicles, choppers and planes, even though there is fast travel. How can you then f**ck up the helicopter controls so badly in your sequel? Helicopters are not only barebones, with no flares and you can only shoot ones and then wait for them to reload. Problem is, that they as well have put a WASD control fused together with a mouse fixed "look-to-steer" control, which results in aiming with the mouse being absolut horrible and trying to aim carefully and precisly with a helicopter is near impossible.

    And the end of the day, i can see the thoughts behind everything, but again i guess Ubisofts higher ups just dont care and scream "Ship it!", or the project leads are so blind to everything that they sincerely thought this would turn out good. To the people working in any Ubi dev team, im sincerely sorry. It must be hard, having to crunch for something you know will probably turn out mediocre at best, even though you put your heart into. Im... just sorry.    … Expand

    While we wait for the hopeful announcement of a new Splinter Cell game in the future, Tom Clancy’s fans will be happy to know that Breakpoint is actually fun, now. The new Ghost Mode solved many of the issues that plagued the original version, and while it isn’t fully healed from its painful stint as a non-Ghost Recon game, the latest entry in the franchise is trying its best to course-correct. If you are one of the many people who were put off by it at launch, I would recommend you try and give it a try now – just like the eponymous Group for Specialised Tactics, Ubisoft might yet turn this near-miss of the series’ breakpoint into a franchise victory.
