    I'm happy to see how this game became everything I wanted for it once immersive mode was added.
    If you're disappointed with this game and haven't tried immersive mode, give it another chance, it's a different game now.

    The initial previews and reviews had me worried. I loved Ghost recon wildlands, but I mostly play single player. Imagine my dissapointment that there is no ghost team to play with unless you play multi player. So I decided to get the game via Uplay+, and if I didn't like it then I was just out 15 bucks.

So I decided to get the game via Uplay+, and if I didn't like it then I was just out 15 bucks.

    It's now been a couple weeks and I am hooked. I've played the entire game so far single player. It plays like Sniper Elite 4, and although I want to have my ghost team back, this is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The gameplay is solid and is what you come to expect from GR:W. And the game is absolutely gorgeous- everytime I enter the game I am overwhelmed with how realistic everything looks. Playing almost entire on Ultra 1440p, with an i7 7700k and a 1080 graphics card. It is absolutely stunning to see, particularly with grass swaying nearby or distant mountain backgrounds. Add to that, the atmosphere and the ambient sound effects- from animals nearby to the wind blowing across the trees. Gunshots ring out and sound so realistic. If you have some noise cancelling headphones and enable DTS sound effects through windows, it is mindblowing.

    Where this game struggles is the AI and the implementation of the division gamestyle gear. The way gear is tiered just doesn't work- a level 42 cap will give you better protection than a level 40 helmet? Come on. Same for weapons- you can literally keep the first rifle at the beginning of the game and use it all the way to the end. They should have kept the gear system from the last GR game.

    The AI is just bad. You can snipe three enemies before they react- they get this deer in the headlights look. I thought these were professional soldiers? If you're caught in a base, it's easy to hunker down and just let enemies come through the doorway like lemmings. I guess they've never heard of grenades or flashbangs.

    Despite this, I keep wanting to go in and explore this open world- it still is fun casing out bases and planning to sneak in, and I don't even care if I get caught. The story is meh at the most- I've skipped most of the cut scenes. I just want to go in and shoot stuff!!

    Bottom line: totally worth it for Uplay+ 15 bucks. Finish it in a month and be done with it.

    Side note: Am I the only one that wants a ghost recon: Afghanistan???    … Expand

Even tho the basic formula remains the same the game environment feels a lot different due to the world. The world in Wildlands feels more alive and more vivid as so does the gameplay with more options and things you can do like call in Rebels for support. On Breakpoint you lose those things and you can tell the difference but at the same time it has something that makes it engaging and fun for a little while. Considering I only paid $10 for this game (Same for Wildlands) I have no regrets with my purchase. Not saying Wildlands is a solid 10, its more like a 7.5 or 8 its a pretty fun game but Breakpoint is more like a 6.5 or 6.8 out of 10. Overall if you completed Wildlands and like me are looking for more of the same because you enjoyed Wildlands Breakpoint gets the job done but with a few set backs compared to the original formula. This game by no means deserve anything below a 5 it just doesn't make sense even a 4 is okay but anything below seems like people exaggerating and making pointless remarks about the game in general.
    Ubisoft often has Breakpoint on sale for $10 if you can grab it for that price I would say its worth it.
    I give it a solid 6.5 out of 10 no more no less.    … Expand

We got to explore the entire huge island together, which took plenty of time on its own, and then aside from that got to experience the campaign together and theorize about where the plot was going. There are some issues with bugs and online connection, but that hasn't been a huge issue for me at all. I had to redo maybe three small sections of missions in totoals due to bugs, which was lame, but nothing detrimental to how the game overall. With some minor tweaks, this could be a great game.

    I will say the story is nothing to go crazy about, but it certainly isn't boring. You really do feel like your missions are purposeful, even though they're technically all the exact same tasks at different locations. There are plenty of collectibles and little things to look into for people who really are deeply interested in the story. For everybody else, there's so much exploring and upgrading to do to last you weeks.

    For the bugs within the game, I've really seen nothing major. I haven't fallen through the map, my game hasn't crashed, and I've never lost game progress. The only real bug issue I've had in being unable to find or pick up intel, or the issue of reching a checkpoint that does register, meaning you can't progress. The few times it happened, I reset and it took less than ten minutes to get back to where I was.

    The online connection is bad. I don't play the online so it personally doesn't bother me, but it just doesn't work well sadly.

    Bug and server connection need to be top priority for Ubisoft, but after that, they do have a really good game on their hands.    … Expand

    With that being said - This game is like taking GR: Wildlands, the good stuff from The Division 2, and then merging the two games together. There are new Item Level mechanics, crafting systems, map, characters, guns. There are a lot of assets that were re-used from Wildlands in the form of gun models, textures, sounds, etc. but this doesn't bother me a ton because I thought they weren't in need of a massive re-do in this department anyway.

    The single biggest complaint with this game, and seems to be a recurring theme for Ubisoft developed titles, is that the menu navigation and design is G A R B A G E. Navigating through the mission objectives page, inventory menus, gunsmith, and just the menu in general is designed poorly. Too many keybinds change depending on what menu you're in, and just overall the clarity of the menus is awful. I'm not going to hold it against this game specifically too much though, because it seems to be a recurring theme with Ubisoft titles.

    IMO - If you enjoyed Wildlands, you will enjoy Breakpoint. If you didn't enjoy Wildlands, you aren't going to enjoy Breakpoint.    … Expand

    All right, this game is far from being perfect. It has a lot of issues, but in my opinion it doesn’t desire a score as low as 0 or 1. It is just too extreme. Before you go all angry on me, just hear what I am going to say and if you disagree, just forget what you have read.

Before you go all angry on me, just hear what I am going to say and if you disagree, just forget what you have read.
    First, micro transaction. Yes, it is happening. But is it pay-to-win? No. If someone wants to fast-track progress on his own single-player game, or “cheat” on his own single-player game, that’s their choice and I don’t see any problem of it as long as it does not give him/her advantage over other players in PVP, which will not since player stats are normalized in Ghost War. It is annoying that some cosmetics are locked behind pay wall and I feel the frustration. I agree it will be better if those customizations are free for all. But majority of the items are unlockable through gameplay and ignoring the store does not impede your gameplay much. You still have the experience. So yes I wish there are more free stuffs but for now I am fine with the store.
    Combat wise, it still has the basic ghost recon formula and it is still satisfying landing headshot with a sniper rifle or storming a building and give every enemy you encounter a 12-gauge on the face. It works well for me and I enjoy the gun fight pretty much. The CQC animation is also improved from wildland. Instead of just try to suffocate your enemy, your nomad use his/her knife and show off some fancy moves. It’s a welcoming change. Yet, one issue that undermines the combat experience is the enemy AI, especially the human’s. They mainly just rushed you, or just stay behind cover and do nothing. The latter is more understandable as they try to avoid sniper fire. But rushing is rather stupid, especially inside a building. A way to quickly clear out the enemies is to sneak into a building, place some mine at the stairs, alert the enemy, and crouch at the end of a corridor and wait for the enemies to trip over your mine and line themselves up in front of you for your perfect headshot. It is fun at the beginning but it quickly loses its charm. The most disappointing enemy type is the Wolves. These so-called elite soldiers may hit harder and take a few extra bullet to kill (if not headshot), but their behavior is exactly the same as the normal grunts. In comparison, drones do much better work 
    In terms of gameplay, it is still very much wildland template, but slightly more straight-forward in terms of main story progression. But it is still the same routine. Get to a base, find clue, go to the next and repeat until you reach your final target. It is standard, but to be honest not very engaging especially after the initial few hours. There are considerably more side quest in breakpoint than in wildland and a few of them is intriguing. For example, Mads asks you to find out what happen to his cold-war buddy and you end up solving a mystery. But I am really disappointed that there are no AI teammates. While the game is not too difficult that they are necessary, without it does feel something is amiss. When you are trying, it is… just so quiet. It misses the sense of brotherhood and I do miss the chatter and jokes when travelled through Bolivia with my AI teammates. Another immersion killer is the social hub. You are stranded alone behind enemy line but inside your safe house you have 50 different strangers in every possible costume crowding around the NPC you need to talk to… Oh man
    Most of the surviving elements are not important. You will get injured in the fight sure, but there is nothing a syringe can’t fix. Eating and other survival option can give you temporary buff but most of time they are not a necessity. The only thing I like is the movement restriction. In wildland, you have to be careful not to climb or descend slope that’s too steep or you will lose control and fall and roll. It makes you feel your character as human, who can’t just walk up a steep slope like it’s nothing. It really enhances the realism for me.
    And Ubisoft did not really dig deep enough in terms of characters and story. Most of the characters are indeed shallow, without back stories and simply bland. Jon Bernthal did a good job performing Cole Walker. But the story itself does not give the character much soul. You hardly encounter him in your story progression. Most of his scenes are flashbacks that do not tell much about him. Same for the elite wolf lieutenants. Those characters can have intriguing background that makes players more interested but instead there are just brief description or one or two piece of evidence that show nothing significant about them. I would think Ubisoft did a better job in Wildland in terms of character development. La Gringa for example.
    And I agree with the majority that gear score is pointless in a GR series.
    So I gave a passing score of 7 out of 10. It has its moment of fun and excitement but it definitely needs more polishing and updates.    … Expand

The story for Wildlands was good in concept, but it was executed so cartoonishly that it never felt serious. Breakpoint's story has a more serious tone to it which worked in immersing me into its world.

    Wildland's had you investigating ways to take down a cartel, which was cool until you realize that you never did any investigation to begin with, instead you were guided through the entire mission, constantly being pointed where to go. Breakpoint offers players the same hand-holding that Wildlands did, while also allowing players to opt out, and actually put in the leg work in accomplishing their missions through their so-called "exploration mode"

    I love the increased customization available for your weapons, not only do we get things like optics, laser pointers, and other attachments, you can now also adjust the stats of your weapons. Through the use of upgrade parts obtained by dismantling unwanted firearms, you can increase reload speeds, damage, range, and more through upgrades through gunsmith.

    I don't have any opinion on the microtransactions for this game as I never partake in any microtransactions. I have not felt limited in my enjoyment of the game, what I do hate is the fact that the game has to constantly be connected to the internet. What happens when it comes time to shut the servers down? I'll just be stuck with an always online game that wont ever work? This kind of DRM has always brought my piss to a boil.

    Aurora has lots of biomes and its way more different than Wildlands.

    Best thing! Your progression stays till you die or reload. So you wont get hit by an SAM that you cleared just 2 minutes ago. Loot and vehicles stay. Cleared bases stay cleared and there isnt a strange respawn or unlimited hunters like Unidad.

    Weapon and Equipment details are awesome! Ok... I got a 75" 4k setup. So i can enjoy it more than ohters;).

    You get a good shooter with a strange gear score system because the developers wanted you to switch between guns instead of sticking to the same gun for the whole game.

    Ubisoft always listens to their players. Thats why lots of stuff got removed or weakend after the first tech test. But it also causes lots of improvement like it did in Wildlands.

    Wildlands? Commonly helicopter use for transport. Breakpoint? Aurora is so full of stuff and action that i commonly travel by foot. And Aurora is huge! So its a real challenge to keep players on the ground. And a big achievement that it worked.

    I would wish for more drones. Including player made ones. Since you get lots of drone parts.
    And you can only sell 1 item at a time... Even if you got 200 of it. Kinda annoying but hey... I got lots of hate when i complained about that in RDR2.

    Recomendation. Buy it if you like exploration and good gun play. Its designed to be a 4 Player coop game or an immersive Solo experience. They cut down the survival part because of complaints. But they will include it after people complained that its missing.

    Ubisoft works to make the game fully custom. So everyone can choose his own experience. I love this idea!

    And again... You dont need to buy anything in the real money shop. They even give new players a vehicle and a helicopter for free... So the other packages are only for those who want the Season pass. Just buy the basic version and you will have alot of fun.

    Story? ... 70 hours and i only did 2 side quests and the main quest that was the only aviable in closed beta... Why? Because the game offers lots of exploration and interesting challenges. So i didnt cared for the story. Its a shooter after all.    … Expand

No matter what think about Ubisoft, you can't say they skim on content. What was first a poor attempt to capitalise on micro-transactions has turned into a more than adequate sequel to Wildlands.

    As always the visuals and sound are bang on. Really, the attention to detail is spectacular! From the way your character walks on patrol to the amount of dirt that builds up on their uniform, very impressive. Absolutely stunning world filled to the brim with an array of different bi-oms that create a great atmosphere for the setting. And that setting is a fictional island that sets the stage for the 'futuristic' story. It is a hell of a lot more cinematic than it's predecessor and features some great talent to boot! Even though I found the sci-fi setting less grounded than Bolivia, it still hits all the right notes. But I'm hardly scratching the surface because there has been a tone of content added since this game inception. All of which twist and weave through different story lines that aim toward the liberation of the island as a whole. Some of which feature cameos from Rainbow Six, Sam Fisher and even Terminators! As much content as there is, the stirring negative point is the repetitive nature of all the added DLC that has been thrown together. Each mission seemed to be sewn with the same scenario's again and again, very rarely deviating from the proven formula. But when the game-play itself is pretty solid, that's not completely a bad thing.

    Like Wildlands, I found the strength in the game-play. Originally, the game's progression was centred around weapon upgrades and reduced to a major grind. On release, the overall experience was heavily criticised for sitting behind a substantial 'pay-wall'. But now, with the option to turn the settings (controls, progression, combat etc) to play like Wildlands, the whole experience is pretty stream-lined. Even to the point of re-adding team mates back to the mix! As repetitive as it was, I enjoyed myself as much as I did in the previous title. It would be very hard for me to put my hand on my heart and say “I didn't have fun”. The gun-play is solid and you have complete freedom to tackle each mission as you choose. On top of all that, this game is very much aimed toward multiplayer and switching between single player is a breeze.

    I do miss the origins of Ghost Recon that was focused on tactical game-play. It is a whole different beast all together now and must be taken for what it is. It suffers from all the 'Ubi-soft-isims' that tire most people, but there is no shortage of casual fun to be had. If it is your bag, well worth the price, considering the fixes that have been made since launch.    … Expand

    C’est un rdv manqué malgré un bon gameplay. Je m’attendais à une véritable chasse à l’homme mais la pression retombe très vite et le jeu devient banal. Dommage !!!

    After the latest release featuring AI squad and the various fixes including removing gear score, this game is now not only quite playable, but actually fun.
    The PC version is definitely the stronger offering, the frame rates were much more smooth and the overall experience felt quicker.

    The world is great, it's very New Zealand-ish, with bright colours, and gorgeous environments. The buildings left something to be desired and it was a bit strange to go from survival in the bushes to wandering into a town where people are drinking soy lattes or something.

    Combat is good, the enemy AI wasn't very bright but this is not metal gear, it's a run and gun.

    Having said that, I had frequent crashes on a PC with a 2070 super card, this is really not something that should occur frequently in an AAA game.

    I enjoyed this game, but I felt that the story was lacking, the character of Walker was strong, and Nomad seems to have a few more emotions this time around but i found it very difficult to care about what happened to anyone else on the Island.

    Good to kill time, worth picking up now that many of the issues have been fixed.    … Expand

    For 2021, this game's ready to have a glance over what it can offer, especially if it keeps discounting itself as there's finally AI teammates and it finally has met the level of Wildlands even if it did come AFTER Wildlands. The options I can tweak for my own experience, turning off the loot leveling and turning up the difficulty has greatly increased my enjoyment of the game.

The options I can tweak for my own experience, turning off the loot leveling and turning up the difficulty has greatly increased my enjoyment of the game. The score will never be perfect or even isn't good at this time only because it has kept it's old driving, old and mediocre story with questionable quality at times and still has those pay-gates... The only difference is that I can avoid it and enjoy as much I can for the small price that I got it for.… Expand

    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

    * The game is buggy as hell at this point.

    * Keys will stop working during action sequences.
    * Base jumping does not work on PC at this time.
    * Bad guys inevitably spot you from three times farther than you would normally.

    Avoid until they fix the bugs and the price goes down.

    From a totally disaster coop game with an idiotic matchmaking where can't choose if join or host...
    to a semi-fun bot-control game like a rainbow six.
    BUT: terrible bullet sponge fights and tanks that need dozens rockets to blow up. Meaningless weapon loot/progression. non existent tactical play. Forgettable story, if can consider it a plot at all. Wildlands was a great 8, except    From a totally disaster coop game with an idiotic matchmaking where can't choose if join or host...

    Outside of the myriad of BS surrounding the game with the monetization and Ubisofts moronic belief that they would get away with over doing it. You can have fum with it but it's very subjective but the game lacks in many aspects. So after further review I have to lower my score to under 7.

    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.
