    There’s so much fun to be had here, and the co-op is probably the best I’ve seen in a long time. The country of Bolivia is massive and fun to explore, with plenty to do and visuals that never fail to impress.

    At start it's somewhat generic 3rd person shooter, but the fun starts in co-op. Gameplay is quite fun, weapon customization actually does something and you can feel the difference between different weapons.

There is also so much possibilities to do things in unusual way thanks to the open world structure. I'll give 2 examples. First is a mission where you have to drop off a truck in enemy base and leave without raising any alarms. You can do that normal way and try to sneak out or take down all enemies quietly. Alternatively you can sneak into a nearby building, get to the top and base jump out of the base. Second example is mission to interrogate base commander. You can get in normal way, or get a friend to fly you in a helicopter over the base, jump on a parachute on top of the building he's in and after interrogation have you friend pick you up with the same heli. There is lot of cool freedom in that game, you just have to use it. And they are the first game I know to actually solve issue with exposition over comms in open world, where fighting can start any second and distract you.… Expand

    Great open-world action game, very beautiful graphics and nice music. Missions are a bit repetitive, but overall very good.

    Overall it's very fun open world action game. Mission design is not best, but stunningly beautiful graphics and atmosphere make up for it.

    All in all ... this is a good game! - it is fun - it offers tremendous freedom in a sunny, south american landscape - and there are plenty of "bad" guys to remorselessly kill.

    Well - of course this game has quite some problems. But first of all - at least to me ... it felt like playing World in Flames 2 again. (or Far Cry 4 -t here are so many games that are very similar in that regard)    All in all ... this is a good game! - it is fun - it offers tremendous freedom in a sunny, south american landscape - and there are plenty of "bad" guys to remorselessly kill.

    Well - of course this game has quite some problems. But first of all - at least to me ... it felt like playing World in Flames 2 again. (or Far Cry 4 -t here are so many games that are very similar in that regard)

    One major problem of the game is the AI - again - it just feels like games have made quantum leaps in visuals, audio - (and sometimes a leap backwards towards casual gameplay and complexity ) ... but what has not improved noticably is the AI.

    Enemy bots are simply suicidal - they do not mind stepping into a pile of dozens of fallen comrades into a doorway ... where they just saw one after another of their own being shot. Because of that - the game is anything but challenging. I have not seen the AI take smart, alternative attack routes - use smarter weapons (lobbing a grenade, hide and lay low etc. ) .. in that regard - the AI is even more stupid than the AI in Far Cry 4 (which was pretty similar but had its moments in ... mostly highly scripted missions )

    The game offers so many approaches - scout drones, distraction, remote explosions, mines and and and ... sooo much ... when all you need is a doorway and placing the crosshair head-high (cause all bad guys have the very same statue)

    The game has a neat skill system that somehow feels like cheating. At first the game appears to be a more "realistic" version of world in flames or Far Cry 4 .. but after a short while it turns out to be just as much arcade as the others. It does look more realistic - but a short ride on a motocross bike downhill reveals that physics and bodily harm is on an arcade level.

    Controls are very good - for all - vehicles, on foot and in the air. Especially vehicles feel well done. On foot animations are wonderful (i have never seen such complex animations in other games) and the game even allows (mostly) full character customization!

    The visuals of this game are breathtakingly amazing on ultra settings - and pretty terrible on low settings. (kind of what its supposed to be i guess) - with the little problem that even on low settings - the game is quite demanding .. for how it looks. (textures and loading times do not seem optimized)

    The missions are varied enough - and i have not encountered notable invisible walls on a map that can only be decribed as HUGE.

    conclusion:

    This is a great game to kill some time and mess around. At the same time - it offers quite some longer term motivation with regularly unlockable gadgets and stuff. The close quarter controls are not great in my opinion - and the forced 3rd person perspective can be problematic. The AI is terrible but cheats enough (constant stream of reinforcements...) to be a light challenge.

    I can fully recommend this game - for a little bit 90s action movie nostalgia - and cheesy one liners.    … Expand

    It's solid game, with beautiful graphics and incredibly big open world. Ubisoft actually used to be very decent/good developers. Some people hating them here and getting way too angry, possibly have some other issues in their life. Either way, good game, would recommend!

    This game is very good game. One of the best games from Ubisoft and one of the best games of 2017. Graphics is on high level, normal optimization, good storyline, interesting main characters with Stalker mask and three companions for main characters, amazing gameplay, awesome firefight. This game deserve 9/10, this is best Ghost Recon game. Very good, even better than For Honor.

    very thoroughly thought of and visually exciting game, great shooting physics. It's basically a Far Cry with co-op mode. Unfortunately that implies a loss in the plot consistency - there's no way around that.

    it's an unbelievably fun game with a colossal open world and fantastic Co-op. This is a game that appeals to the large audience but may disappoint some fans of the ghost recon franchise who prefer a more tactical game. There is fun to be had here for over 100 hours.

Yeah, they are mostly monotonous and without great performances - only gameplay, but every time you don't know what will come of the next passage is a typical mission, the replay value is wonderful. I played with friends and with computer partner and computer partner I liked. I felt better the world and get used to the role of a soldier. Yes, sometimes there are bugs, Yes, car physics are not very good, but this game is no worse than MGSV of Mafia3. In this game the plot is primitive, but the mission real soldiers not in the style of GTA5. I'm really pleased with the lore of world, and background for the bosses. The game is not perfect, but commendable.… Expand

    ARMA for babies, but that's okay in my book.

    For a game that seemingly everyone hates, everyone I know or talked to that has it is having a blast. Is it buggy? Of course, it's Ubisoft. Is it repetitive? At this point, what game isn't? Is the story lame? Probably, I'm having too much fun driving around and giving SB some 9mm sized love to notice the story. It's beautiful, the    ARMA for babies, but that's okay in my book.

The friendly AI seemed dumb and unhelpful, and the way the vehicles controlled and interacted with the world just felt off. Fortunately, the final release seemed to have resolve those issues (at least somewhat). Driving still doesn't feel great (which is somewhat worrying considering one of the DLCs is focused on street racing) but it's better than it was in the beta. Friendly AI seems much more capable and plentiful making using them as a tool/distraction is much more viable. The weapon variety is good and the customization is fairly robust, but most of the weapons often feel like they don't really have the punch you'd expect, especially against vehicles or when in open combat. The open world is huge, and while I wouldn't say it's empty, it certainly feels like there could have been more (or the map could have been smaller). All in all, this game doesn't feel like a Ghost Recon game, but it's fun nonetheless. I wouldn't say it's a great game or one worth buying at full price (especially if you don't have friend to play with), but it's worth giving a shot.… Expand

I've seen a lot of people complaining about texture issues and bugs, but I haven't experienced any of them yet so I can't put that into my review.
    The map is quite beautiful and so far I've enjoyed every single zone, the weather has felt dynamic and realistic. That's a very nice detail! I can't say how much I enjoy the sound of the doors opening and closing on cars and the sound of the rain hitting things. It's a very nice detail.
    I've got some issues with how some of the vehicles feel weightless and the helicopter controls are a bit wonky but if you just figure out how they work, they're not a big problem. I can't say that any of the physics have really made me enjoy the game less. I've seen a lot of people complaining about missions failing when you get detected, and I can't agree fully with them that it's a bad thing. If you take a nice slow approach to most missions, you'll get in and out fine without any hassle. Just plan it out, recon the area a bit and just be silent. I felt like I was really working towards taking El Sueño down bit by bit by bit. I didn't go to complete each of the four pillars one at a time, but I spread out. First I took down a buchon here, then another one here, just because I wanted it to feel more authentic. And it did. Like I said earlier, the game is really what you make it, like most open world games are.
    Those are my two cents and I'd recommend this game to anyone who's like me, really.
