    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghost Recon wildlands is one of the best games i have ever played....its a very enjoyable open world shooter.
    for sure it could have been better but i still love it this game is really good in coop mode and the graphics in Ultra mode is really charming and and the map size is huge so buying this game is not waste of time and money...

    This game is emblematic of Ubisoft's main problem: quantity over quality. There are bells and whistles and you can paint your gun and there map is covered in icon vomit, all of which distracts from the fact that the game is just no fun to actually play.

There are bells and whistles and you can paint your gun and there map is covered in icon vomit, all of which distracts from the fact that the game is just no fun to actually play.

    The game is huge, the world is detailed and varied, and screwing around with friends is pretty fun. The problem is that the minute-to-minute gameplay is horrifically unsatisfying. If we're going to make a game whose main draws are exploration, stealth, and shooting, wouldn't you try to make those elements fun? If you answered yes, you'll never work at Ubisoft.

    Gunplay is barely serviceable. Aiming feels sluggish and the audio lacks weight and punch. My biggest gripe is that Wildlands has latched onto one of the most baffling trends in modern shooter design, something I like to call the "Nerf" effect. Rather than firing supersonic metal projectiles like guns in the real world, guns in Wildlands shoot slow moving, glowing nerf darts. Ostensibly this aesthetic is supposed to look like tracer fire, but it completely undermines the gritty, realistic feel the game is going for. When using assault weapons and sidearms at close range, the effect isn't too bad, but it completely ruins the immersion and fun of sniping. I LOVE the inclusion of bullet drop, but it's taken to risible extremes in this game. It feels less like shooting highpowered rifles and more like lobbing novelty mini footballs.

    I won't spend too much time on the vehicles, except to say they're horrible. Cars and track are decent, but the control scheme for the helicopter is - without hyperbole - one of the worst things I've ever experienced in a game.

    The story is blah - the big bad is pretty cool but the plot + dialogue are generic tough-guy inanity.

    This, look so many of other of Ubi's recent games, feels like a piece of software created by a focus group rather than a team of passionate gamers and developers. It's big and shiny and as boring as the day is long.    … Expand

    The game is okay, but as it stands now its shallow, empty and very repetitive.
    Also the vehicle controls are the worst i have seen, beside the ground vehicles.

    Want a good shooter to play with your buddy in coop? Well, then look somewhere else cause this "game" is just crap software! This thing isn't able even to launch, that's right, haven't being able yet to play it, although I bought it on launch day! And I'm not the only one, just check their Forums. Ubisoft does nothing to solve this, so, just go and spend your money somewhere else!

    10 hours and i've done only 6 story missions. I love discover map and take all items. I love too play coop with my 2 friends.
    This Game is perfect for my type of favorite games, like metal gear for the "stealth" and GTA for the open world.

    YAOWG (Yet Another Open World Game). No redeeming qualities. Very meh. See cons on other reviews. Just to fill the 150 character minimum I'll list some keywords: empty, repetitive, lousy controls, bad gun play, map icon bloat, pointless travelling, outdated.

    All the negative reviews are by people too dumb to update their drivers.

    If you look at the game as kind of a more 'realistic', multiplayer 'Just Cause', that focuses more on weapons and taking you time to do things, you'll have super fun. However, I do think that this game would get pretty mundane pretty fast if you weren't goofing off with a few friends while playing it. -2    All the negative reviews are by people too dumb to update their drivers.

    por esto pondré un 10 para balancear a favor porque este juego merece un 8 o tan siquiera un 7.9 y solo por esto pongo un 10 por que el juego merece una mejor calificación por parte de nosotros

    This game deserves an eight, but I score it with a 10 since there is people who is spamming it´s score. It has a really appealing environment since its ecosystem is really diverse. Reason why I just got really immersed into the game. The projectile mechanics are realistic and you can complete the mission at your own way, with your own methods and without following specific checkpoints.This game deserves an eight, but I score it with a 10 since there is people who is spamming it´s score.

However I find some deplorable aspect cs on the game. Particularly the vehicles glitch and the AI of the enemies, and your allies is not bad but it could be better. Then I would criticize the voice acting, all the Bolivian characters(without the narcos or gangsters which are Mexicans) had a Mexican accent. When they are speaking on Spanish, they have a Mexican accent instead of speaking like Bolivians with their respective slangs(I know that because I live in Bolivia )so basically i felt that the voice acting limited the experience.… Expand

    I did not get this game for multiplayer as so many have said it's much better. I can see how that would be so if you go at it with people you know and friends. But if you're playing multiplayer by joining a session, then you will be disappointed. The map is too big and most of the time ur wasting trying to group up with unknown players.

    I'm having a blast playing single player with no problem. It's way better than any of the other games i've mentioned above. It still should have been 1st person like the classic original though.    … Expand

    Once you get past the easy areas and try something harder the AI start to shine in a way I have never seen before, and I've seen a lot. It's simply mind blowing, they will call the army to hunt you down, there are going to be inbound choppers on your location, the AI will pin you down and try to flank you in every possible way. They will leave their base and come to rush you on open areas! You will try and run and hide and they will pursue, in the night, with flashlights, through the grass, use the terrain to their advantage and every other trick in the book. And you are going to die for every stupid stunt you're trying to pull against the AI. You're going to die a lot, just like in real life combat. And all that on a map so huge you're not going to believe it's even possible. My mind was completely blown.
    The images will still haunt you for hours after you are done playing. The beautiful scenery, the amazing gameplay and the frightening close to reality AI all make for a massive true war zone like experience like I never had experienced before. 10/10 from me on this one guys, it's a must for every military simulation nut out there.    … Expand

    I played Closed beta and started playing the release version now, too. I'm happy about the progress the game made and I hope for some improvements over the next weeks, like the vehicle control is to hard with keyboard etc. Beside that is Wildlands a great looking, open world (GTA meets Ghost Recon) shooter. Solo and coop playable. (Coop is ofc more fun)

    After playing the Open Beta i was really looking forward to the full version of this game.

    Please note, my comments are based on ONLY playing in a 3 - 4 man Co-Op Party and not going at it solo. Have spent roughly 6 hours with friends playing and am thoroughly enjoying it. The storyline isn't lackluster, but it isn't a Scott Ridley Blockbuster either.

    Have spent roughly 6 hours with friends playing and am thoroughly enjoying it. The storyline isn't lackluster, but it isn't a Scott Ridley Blockbuster either. There is a lot to do in this game and the map is freaking huge. The terrain is definitely challenging and at times I find myself wanting to rage quite after trying to take a short cut on a motorbike and slamming head first into a tree or hidden rock. Can be quite painful at times to manuever.

    We all set the difficulty setting to Advanced instead of Normal and it offers a nice challenge in the game rather than just a shoot to kill scenario. Experience isx rewarded for playing as a team, syncing shots, silent takedowns, marking enemies, freeing hostages, shutting down generators etc. etc.

    The Skill Point system is a little clunky. There are some excellent perks to sink points into (Full attributes in Stamina = Unlimited Run), however others are not really required.

    Having played Watchdogs 2, the drone aspect is always a lot of fun.

    Overall Co-Op gameplay is a lot of fun. Having 3 mates parachute out of the sky into the hot zone whilst you fly around in an apache, or team mates busting down the door with APC's or gattling gun jeeps in just a lot of fun.

    Pros:

    Graphics look amazing (Geforce 1080GTX)
    Co-Op Play is seriously fantastic. Having 4 helicopters flying around is just a lot of fun
    Combat is clean, with reasonable intelligent AI
    Storyline is ok. Some will criticize this as being insufficient.
    Boats, APC's, Helicopters, Apache's, Cars, Bikes, loads of different vehicles. Some with some sweet armaments too.

    Cons:
    Terrain. I f**king hate rocks :(
    Objectives are generally go Kill this or hey see that, blow it up. Some additional options of diplomacy or faction based warfare would be amazing here.
    Minor syncing glitches (It is Ubisoft & it is release day). Patching should fix these issues.    … Expand
