    To review this game I have to compare it to other open world games.

    To start off, this game is EXTREMELY repetitive. Compare this game to Horizon Zero Dawn for example. It has a good story, cut-scenes, the world is smaller but more dense. There are only 5 Cauldrons, 6 Bandit Camps, limitied number of side quests etc. meaning the different mechanics isn't being milked/overused like they    To review this game I have to compare it to other open world games.

    To start off, this game is EXTREMELY repetitive. Compare this game to Horizon Zero Dawn for example. It has a good story, cut-scenes, the world is smaller but more dense. There are only 5 Cauldrons, 6 Bandit Camps, limitied number of side quests etc. meaning the different mechanics isn't being milked/overused like they are in all Ubisoft games.

    Wildlands has essentially no story worth speaking of other than the backstory of all the cartel members. All quests, no matter the goal (destroy something, interrogate someone, defend a place, gather intel), simply consists of infiltrating a base either by stealth or frontal assault. No matter the quest, this is all you do. The weapon chests, intel locations, side activites litter the entire map so after doing 20 of each you're so fed up with it that you'd rather kill yourself than doing it again.

    In the end it boils down to how well the developers manages to hide the repetitiveness of the game. And Ubisoft does a very poor job with this, just like they do with all their open world games. They simply lack a soul. In GTA 5 the missions are so well designed (riding a motorbike on top of a train, climbing the ouside of a scyscraper, doing bank heists, driving a submarine etc) that it doesn't feel repetitive. Compared to Horizon, GTA 5 and Witcher 3 for example, this game feels extremely bland, repetitive and soulless.    … Expand

    A very mediocre, run of the mill open world game that fails to do anything right.
    From horrible driving, to a forgettable story and incredibly bad voice acting/dialogue. Gunplay, stealth, everything is just bad. Customization is alright, but it has barely any purpose.
    And baby makes three.

    I am only about 20 hours in, and the majority of those 20 hours have been spent playing single player, withthe Ai buddies helping out, though i did play a brief bit of 2 player co-op,
    I brought the game myself, but at a hugely discounted price due to pre-order bonus and Uplay club points, and I also got access to the Beta for free.

    I brought the game myself, but at a hugely discounted price due to pre-order bonus and Uplay club points, and I also got access to the Beta for free.

    The size of the map, the diversity of the locations, the wealth of customisation and the beauty of the scenerey are staggering. its a 10/10 on the ubisoft scale for a ubisoft open world game, ticking every box, even the little "fake life" that goes on with kids kicking balls around a dusty town.

    But like most Ubisoft games this is a facade, you spend any time looking, its easy to see through. you start shooting in a crowded civillian area, the civillians arae just as likely to duck down in the middle of a road, or run straight into your gunfire. and between settlements there is very little beyond lush jungles, perfect for walking on foot.

    Talking about the large map, in other Ubisoft games, placing a map pointer at the far end of the map will give you a 5KM waypoint, it will be enjoyable to get there, in Wilalnds, placing even a close by mission marker may beat least 3KM, and you regularly feel you want to rush there by a car or helicopter, the game does little to encourage you to drive slow and take in the beautiful scenerey.

    As for gameplay, its solid. there are some criticisms on bullet drop, but mostly if you shoot someone, they go down.

    AI is a hot topic. i have sometiems had it where AI have been laser accurate in knowing my position, but in my recent multiplayer session we were attacking an enemy base, we got spotted and they sent a patrol out. we fled to the nearby hills and watched from drones as they got out of cars, patrolled the area, gave up, got back into their cars and drove away. now this wasnt perfect, it took a few minuts for the AI to figure out where the road was, and some Ai even took random civillian vehicles.

    the story is, limited at best. you spend so much time not focusing onthe story, but there are some things to read between the lines. i have seen many reviews saying its just some "hoorah" shooter where you can solve all problems by shooting enough people, and while the gamplay my make you believe that, listening to kingslayer files and idle AI chatter will make you realise that the story does go a bit deeper, but similar to many games, this is just giving story from found tapes and doccuments NOT showing you the story.

    In short, this game is mercenaries 3 with elss boom, a boring just cause, a fun (but limited ARMA 3) and i have even seen people compare it to MGSV without the rich story and heritage.

    the world is big, beautiful and bold, with clearly defined gameplay which will allow you to stray from it in co-op, but dont expect the game to get on well with you if you try to break the games rules. thoroughly enjoying it, and 100% happy i purchased it    … Expand

    Some pros:
    Graphs are beautiful, with varied landscapes.
    Really big open world.
    Coop is very nice.
    Sniper shooting is cool.
    Nice weapons.
    Good voice acting
    The drone is cool.

    Bad:
    IA of the enemies sometimes are extreme dumb (they can crash their cars and kill their friends and you are blamed for this if you are in the area)
    Enemies sometimes spawn from nothing, near to you.
    Unidad can be annoying, appearing in the middle of a mission (occur too much)
    Missions are repetitive after some time.
    The missions appear to be "side quests" only.

    Some (few) of the bugs:
    The sniper weapon constantly loses their supressor and you need to go to the menu to equip then (in some weapons, it is impossible to equip after you lost it).
    In coop, players can see things different from the other (for example, one player see a running helicopter, other no).
    Sometimes the game closes.
    In the 2 last updates (Uplay version) I had to reinstall the entire game, because the update failed after the download (17GB + 14GB).
    In coop, one play accomplished the mission and the other not, even doing the mission together.    … Expand

    I like to describe this game in terms of a fusion between The Division and GTA: Online. Gunplay in this one is amazing, I can't really think of any other game in which I would enjoy shooting as much. Missions are somewhat repeatable, but as environment and stealth are two crucial factors on the highest difficulty level (which I do recommend a lot), they vary a lot in that regard.

Stealth is only optional, not too hard but gives no reward other than you wont die in seconds. or you call a mortar strike, rush in and shoots everyone with your lmg. Also the enemies can handle 4 to 5 shots wearing nothing besides pants, while yourself are getting killed by 6 bullets wearing bulletproof clothes.

I also hear alot about ♥♥♥♥♥♥ driving controls and I will say the ground vehicles were a bit squirrley, and It seemed like I couldn't fly a helicopter up and forward at the same time- but at least they don't want to fall out of the sky like Battlefield choppers. The spy drone mechanic was nice, but im wondering why the "sync shot" ability only works on one guy. You have a team of up to three AI guys backing you up, can't they shoot three enemies? There might be a way of doing this though, I didn't read up on the upgrade trees.

    It seems like the kind of game you could have left as a 6-10 hour pipe shooter without adding the illusion of additional game time via a freeroam mode. Based on what I've seen so far, it's at least passably playable, but I've played many other games that do what it does better. It's at least co-op focused, which already puts it a step above Rainbow Six: Siege.    … Expand

    the only flaws of this game are technical issues and details that can be fixed with a patch (which i hope ubisoft releases soon).
    aside from it its an awesome experience, huge and varied maps and an endless possibilities of approaching every mission, the story as cartoonish as it seems reflects a reality in latin america (i am mexican and its like watching the news channel). great for coop!

I haven't played this in co-op, which seems to be the positive of this game from some, yet I am having a lot of fun in solo. Once I beat the game solo I will start rocking co-op with my buddies, but wanted to air it out that its not a "must" to enjoy WildLands, which was the impression I had going in. The story is lackluster and can easily be ignored. The graphics are a solid 8.5/10 and PC optimization is a 9/10 having surprisingly stable fps and no stuttering even during autosaves. (I own a 1080 FTW 2, Intel 6-6000K, 32gb Ram, ect). I'd also like to note I have yet to encounter any bugs so far (60 hours). The civilian AI is programmed poorly, at times being annoying, where as the cartel AI is well done, which is good since theyre the ones you that shoot at you haha. There are lots of options for customizing your game experience from difficulty modes, hud options and the like to tailor to your liking. The game itself is huge and offers many tactical options to employ at your own discretion for quest you take. There are lots of weapons to obtain, side quest to complex and in-game lore to find. Last GTA game I played was GTA 4 and will say the vehicles for WildLands remind me of a GTA game, very arcadey, simple controls and just awful physics. If your buying this game expecting a military sim or any sort of realistic gameplay, you'll be disappointed. If your going into it like I did, expecting a casual, open world, military themed shooter, you'll be blown away and have lots of fun. Overall this game is an easy 9/10 for me.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I stopped playing to write this. I made this account to write this. The game is nothing like past ghost recon games, it is not fun, it is the standard Ubisoft open world fare that seems to come out with the irritating regularity of a period.

    the game is annoyingly inaccurate, and I am not talking "my M4A1 is a 5MOA gun in the game when the platform is traditionally 1MOA." My AI controlled squadmate CONSISTENTLY fres his sniper rifle full auto when in a vehicle. Enemies can fire perfectly accurate streams of death using machine pistols at 50+ yards, and villagers seem to ignore the special ops troops shouting in English while killing gun wielding maniacs.

    I stopped playing when the following exchange happened between my character and a squadmate.

    "Ok I found the location for a cocaine factory, it is in an abandoned meat processing plant"

    "Alright boss let's go bust some heads"

    "We can't, the door to the building is protected by a passcode, which is in the computer of one of their lieutenants"

    freaking what??? the crack special military team made up of the best of the best soldiers is stopped by a freaking code lock??

    I was out at that point, my immersion was gone. The old Ghost team would have blown up the factory, killed everyone, and been back stateside before anyone missed them.

    Ranting aside I do have one final question. Why open world? This game could have been a level based Third person shooter and nothing of narrative value would have been lost.

    In the end the game is bland, boring, and can be replaced by it's previous counterparts.

    if you like tactical combat go play MGS5. if you like sniping gameplay, go play Sniper Elite. if you have a hankering for third person shooters, Spec Ops: The Line has not gone anywhere.

    in short: Bland Boring and Dull, I got it on sale for $14 and I think I paid too much for it    … Expand

    I found the game to be more frustrating than fun and more monotonous than interesting. It was just a generic open world game with The Legend of Zelda slapped on the cover. Not much in this felt like a LoZ game and in my opinion that was a negative not a positive. Definitely the worst Zelda game I have ever played.

    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 overall plays out like this:
    1. Enter a region.
    2. Receive a radio communication from the task giver, where she tells you about the fief in the region, that she has no idea where that person is. However she knows about a couple of points of interests (typically 4-5) which are then marked in gold on the map.
    3. You travel to each POI and as you reach each of them, they transform into another POI on the map, some distance away.
    4. You travel to that new POI location.
    5. Once you've visited all of POIs in the region, a final POI is marked on the map.
    6. You travel to the final POI and is tasked with killing or kidnapping a person.
    7. You again travel a fair distance to some specific safehouse where you drop the kidnapped person off, and the story progresses a bit. You are told about the impact of the loss of this fief to the cartel organisation.
    8. Repeat 26 times from step 1.

    This game is long. The main reason for that is cheap padding.
    1. A constant back and forth travelling (backtracking) where travelling between a single POI to another may take 3-4 minutes by helicopter or many times that with a land vehicle.
    2. In between each step above, you will face an infinite number of enemies, that respawn "as soon as you turn your back on them". Or more accuratly, as soon as you've moved a short distance away.
    3. In order to not be annihilated you need to upgrade your skill tree and that is accomplished by... you guessed it, boring fetch quests, travelling to yet other POIs on the map, where you have to kill hordes of respawning enemies.
    4. You can't just acquire new and improved weapons and addons for your weapons stash from killed enemies, no you need to travel far and wide to hundreds of additional POIs, where the same "Crate" will exist with a trophy in it.
    5. Each item you seek is typically placed as far away from you as possible, while still fitting in the overall story segment. For example, it's almost certain that if there's a village with an item in it, then the item will be located in the highest building, at the top floor, as far away from the stairs as possible. It seems UBI used an algorithm for travelling salesman problem where they inverted the heuristic to produce the location with the furthest travelling distance from any other point on the map.

    Liked:
    Even though the game has all the problems mentioned in the separate review, the cheap tricks to pad its length, and the constant repetition, I still found it a blast to play, in small chunks.

    * Performance, it ran beautifully at 60 FPS on my Intel Core i7 4770, with a Geforce GTX 1080 and 32 GB RAM at 1920x1200 resolution. No crashes.
    * Voices. Acting was rather good I found and added quite a bit to the immersion. Your team mates respond to surroundings. In the beginning I was impressed by the variety of comments by the AI mates, but found they ran out of ambient dialogue after about 10% into the game. A potential for improvement in UBIs future titles, but as a proof of concept, I think it turned out rather well and applaud the devs for the idea.
    * Graphics. The scenery is absolutely stunning. From snow covered mountains to dense jungles. Nothing beats flying a helicopter over cities, canyons, bridges, the jungle and the alps. It's something very relaxing about it. The character models also looked great. Attention to detail was overall very high imo.
    * Gunplay. Bullets have trajectories! Head shots are fatal! Unarmored enemies are not bullet sponges! Weapon handling feels a bit on the realistic side when compared to other titles, with weapon weight and stats playing into how the weapons behave. Overall I found gun fights highly enjoyable, which really is a saving grace as you wade through the hordes of zomb... I mean cartel and unidad soldiers.
    * Rebel assistance. This is a new thing I believe in UBI titles. Along with your skill tree, there is a separate branch which allows various forms of assistance from bolivian rebels. The types include sending grunts to help you in gun fights (can make a HUGE difference, especially for timed challenges), calling in mortar strikes (Awesome, especially for taking out pesky drone jammers), helping with recon etc. I found the former two great, while the rest I never saw a use for.
    * Your AI mates aren't completely useless! They're definitely not Rainbow six good, but they're much better than in your average FPS title.
    * The story was OK. It definitely wasn't CDPR good, but much better than other UBI titles. It also served a purpose, giving you enough of a justification for exploring areas. Judging this aspect entirely within the UBI bubble, I'd give it above average, akin to AC 1-3 where the story still had some value.

    This game is seriously underrated. It's filled with plenty of content, multiplayer, challenges, and customization to last for hours. It's not perfect, but if Ubisoft continue to improve upon this design in the next iteration of Ghost Recon, it has the potential to be a GOTY contender.

    I have played almost all of the Tom Clancy Ghost Recon games and I have to say this one is just bad. Missions change regularly as you're trying to complete them. Related missions just seem random. Altogether, poorly conceived and executed.

    This game is like Skyrim, you do the missions, then you get bored and explore the whole map and do some random **** I have explored %57 of the map with my spare time. The most fun thing to do in this game is skydiving. It's so fun, you should try it out.

    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!

    Been gaming for 25 years, and this is already one of my all time favorites. It's hard for me to describe but in short it's everything I've wanted from a game: customization, fun, gun fights, stealth, teamwork, exploration, open world. Sure, it has bugs, but they are mostly hilarious - nothing game breaking i have found from 30 hours gameplay so far.

    This game is only good with friends. If you set out on your own you will be disappointed by the bland missions and the repetitive game play. The ridiculous moments of a stealth mission going to crap with a group is where the game shines. I keep playing, but the game just makes me wish Just Cause 3 was a Co-Op game. If you like collecting things you will never use - 10/10.

Coop is good fun and they got that part right generally, although there isn't much to do beneath the surface it is very very shallow. The world is nice and looks beautiful on ultra. There is some texture repetition etc and towns made with identical "brushes" so seen a few buildings you've seen it all. Like a few other ubi titles they've done away with doors which I find odd in 2017 game and all towns/bases etc are basically the same as each other. Oh what I'd give for the door system from R6 Raven Shield with mouse wheel open (or click to kick in), with incremental stance from that too.

    The ballistics and spawn distances in this are terrible, longest kill I could get was 617m because I cannot get anything not to spawn, or not despawn if move out the AO, past that (all settings maxed) and there is spawn in real close on some missions. I blame most of that on console port style code. It is basically a shallow console port with graphical eye candy for PC folks added on. The ballistics including drop and penetration are terrible. The vehicle physics is broken IMHO and helis are bad although easy to fly there is a lot of annoying quirks that totally defy how helis work (I don't want DCSworld style sim or even TOH/Arma, just some recognition of physics). For instance having rudder on pad bumpers and cyclic on the stick and leaving collective on triggers would do. Second remove the weird physics and make them act like an arcade version of helo flight model so you could do some real manouvres and fly them properly. I do have sim gear but pad is fine for this kind of game and TIR, stick and pedal is PC only and raises the bar too much for a none sim so I don't think I ask for too much.

    The environment is nice though through snowy mountain to dense jungle, desert/salt flats, prairies etc that give distinct geography feel to regions. Enemies are not bullet sponges, although the player semi is even on high difficulties.The bad, as usual Ubi speciality of no real substance or content, I get the idea they have lot of graphic design staff and very little content creators. There is little to do except some the usual ubi collectible in place of content fare, mission templates are samey across the board from sidequest to story and story is poor so there isn't even that.

    Basically it would have been amazing with the same looks/world with better building variation. good ballistics, more varied mission templates and genuine content not placeholders for it like generic collectables ubi relies on. Add to that some good but entry level friendly vehicle physics and spawn distances and it'd be one of the best modern games ever with real longevity. Adding the door system from R6RS and flexistance and some CQB/urban raid missions and it'd probably be one of the best coop shooters of the next 15 years! Ubi have the cash but they always go for the lowhanging fruit of making another cookiecutter watchdogs/farcry clone with new branding/gfx instead of pushing the boat out sadly.    … Expand

    Part One: you have to sneak through a base filled with enemies like a metro on rush hour. One look in your direction and it’s mission over. Also, grenade lures are completely random. Sometimes the enemy walks towards them to investigate, other times they ignore them or walk directly towards you. You are not allowed to take out anyone, so, you’ll complete part one about 33% of attempts, based mostly on luck. You arrive at the destination and plant a few mines to prepare for part two, then you meet the legendary Sam Fisher.
    Part Two: since time is of the essence, Fisher goes blah blah blabber blabber blah blah blah for *minutes*, and you can’t skip the conversation, even if you have heard it twenty times already. Then all hell breaks loose. You weren’t allowed to kill anyone but now you have to kill everyone. Riiight.
    Usually at least two of your AI teammates are down before they even reach you, and then you have to survive wave after wave of enemies, while in a scarcely defensible rooms with multiple openings that allow the enemy great opportunities. Forget about reviving the fallen AIs, you’ll just die.
    Again, if you have a good assault weapon and some luck, you survive. This happens about 40% of the time.
    Part Three; time to exfiltrate, finally! Unfortunately, enemies are everywhere, and there are multiple helicopters overhead, armed with rockets. Taking down the copters is pointless, since they respawn immediately. You might manage to get out of the compound and into the wilderness, but copters will still keep flying directly overhead, and you’ll eventually be spotted. At that point, enemies from all directions will kill you. If they don’t, the rockets will finish the job.

    After several hours of frustration, I’ve decided to give up the mission. Yes, it’s optional – as is the game, tho. If the only way to enjoy the game is to avoid playing it, or parts of it, it speaks volumes about the quality of the design. Too bad.    … Expand

    Essence of the game: Kill all drug cartel fiefs (everyone cartel related really).

    Disliked:
    * Infinite respawn. If you die, all your clearing is for naught. If you move a couple of meters away from an area you've cleared, your labor is for naught since all enemies and threats re-appear. This utterly kills the sense of achievement, and makes any kind of military strategy pointless. Take out 3 SAM sites in the belief that you can safely fly in the area. Haha, they're too far apart, so the first will respawn as you reach the third. Sigh.
    * Respawns in the most illogical location (e.g. in a small closet you just cleared, as soon as you turn your back to it). Greatly diminishes use of tactics.
    * The horrid zombie wave of cops in GTA is here re-skinned into Unidad (corrupt Bolivian military), but they've been tuned up to be even more relentless than in GTA. This attribute coupled with the random spawning issue makes this game mechanic totally game and immersion breaking at times. Aweful aspect of the game which you'll come to hate with a passion.
    * No way to progress time. This is particularly annoying if you prefer doing certain activities in daylight and others at night. E.g. infiltration at night time and scouting at day. I hope UBI will fix this in future titles, as I had to leave the game running for half an hour, doing something else while waiting for the game to cycle 12 hours. Just a pointless time wasting limitation that greatly reduced the enjoyment.
    * The enemy AI I would say is OK compared to other FPS titles, but there's one annoying aspect to it. The AI has an incredible ability to immediately spot where you are if an enemy finds a dead buddy, or if you covertly snipe them from way afar. Either this was poor design, or a gimmick by UBI to force you into a shoot and move tactic. It's just not realistic that they can 100% pin-point your location by finding a dead comrade, or seeing a buddy hit the dirt by a single sniper bullet. Some uncertainty would be advised when UBI tunes their next title, as not even the best real world sniper will find his enemy from a single gun echo and bullet crack.
    * Horrid vehicle handling. Especially aircraft (planes and helicopters). Land vehicles were not great either. Rockstar and Bohemia have nailed vehicle driving. Why does UBI continue to fail when the have blueprints from the competition?
    * Cheap tricks employed to extend the game time. All the backtracking, the A+ search the level team used for placing items maximally away from you. Spawning zombies into the middle of your mission area (Unidad appearing out of nowhere when you're trying to infiltrate a Santa blanca stronghold, and calling in their infinite dead army, leading to you having to reload the game).
    * That the skill tree is gated by you having to do the most boring fetch quests (stop the same friggin convoy a billion times), where you need to increase a combination of 4 different counters. Each fetch quest gives you a small bump in one of those stats.

The campaign mission apart from last from every region is basically go there do this or go there and holdout the waves of enemies, go there don't get spotted and do this, go there, take this person then escape from area etc. and it's those same things over and over again. It's very clear that devs wanting to change the format of Ghost Recon from linear to open world had no idea how to go about this and in the end it didn't come out very well. However the game has some strong pros. Stealthing in this game feels really satsifying and you can really feel like an elite special task soldier. Commanding and coordinating your squad allows for many tactics and help to get you immersed into the game. The open world looks fantastic. Story is pretty basic and personally to me feels pretty cliche apart from 4-man squad taking basically an army of soldiers which if you think about it is a bit over the top. Nonetheless it's an interesting concept which could work if you were to assume that this squad has only utilized stealth to get to their targets. The most satisfying thing about this game to me personally and it's best part was progressively getting new gear as you explore the map. And in such progression system you might think that the game is unfair since you can easily get the best weapon right at the start but thanks to guns being balanced the game doesn't have such weakness and each gun excels at something else which makes for a very interesting sandbox. The customization is on high level with many attachments to collect and all of them changing something in the weapon they're assigned to. Gunplay feels good with each gun doing something different than the others. Shooting and sounds of guns feel realistic and satisfying. However the flaws of the game overshadow it's strong sides. The game had potential but it was ruined by a development choice of quantity over quality.… Expand

    I like especially liked the Division style flanking/ enemy ai and the detailed weapon parts customisation, as well as an extensive list of ballistic weapons to choose from (when you find/ get them). The stealth is pretty decent also -tough at times though.

    The game requires play time I think too, as it doesn't seem great for the first couple hours - almost bland. But it grows on you.

    I was happy with AI when I played solo ; they kept me alive( and revived!)! But understand people's complaints when they get caught/don't go silent.

    A re-skinned version of the division. There is absolutely nothing good about this game, from its time wasting travel mechanics to broken stealth system. On the upside they solved the bullet sponge problem of the division, on the downside, your guns still suck and feel arcadey. Great for a perfectionist who enjoys playing the same stealth mission 50x times because the detection system is broken.

    Ok, so here we go:

    This game is a good idea, and mainly a "'meh good" game. The 6/10 point perfectly suits the game in it's all round up critic/review. Be warned! Some players find this review too "hard" and rude, but hey: It's a AAA game for 60 eur, so... let's look at the game in a bird perspective: This game has many good things/solutions/features in it, but unfortunately it has exactly the same amount of bad.
    In details:
    - Good weapon customization/Really bad controls for heli's
    - Good graphics/Bad AI
    - Very good story concept ("maffia tree")/Repetitive and nonsense missions
    - Good game mechanics, playing style options (drones, sync shot feature, command rose, etc.,)/Sometimes unnecessary and annoying TPS view (in CQ firefights for ex. imho!)

    I'm sure i'm missing a lot from this list, but these are just the things i remembered. The main things that are drive me crazy in this game are: heli controls, AI, and ballistics... The helicopter controls are a joke... really. You played any game where you controlled a helicopter? Forget it! This is the worst and hardest way to do it! My heli control (mouse) sensitivity is at 15%, and sometimes the little pushes on the mouse, makes the heli spin like a modernfokker! Sometimes, doesn't even response to the pushes... seriously... makes me crazy sometimes. And you have to do missions with it... no jokes! AI is bad too. But you probably heard that from the everywhere :) It's a known fact now :) Your team mates just walk past you, even if you give them "fall in" command. Sometimes walk to a enemy, and sits next to him. Enemy does not give a **** And suddenly the enemy (after 3-5 sec.) beginning to realise the presence of your buddy, and you only see the attack begins on your whole squad because that idiot team mate sat next to an enemy... Joke really. And the AI's strange list is far from over! The ballistics in this game is (IMHO!) very bad too. The bullet from a assault rifle, beginning to drop at 50m(around 170 ft). That is a joke. If you look at videos, you can see for yourself this "anomaly". I don't know the game dev's why find this "feature" so awesome nowadays... That is why i don't play BF1 too. The devs of DICE began to use this in BF3, but in BF3 there was exactly the same as in real life. Only the sniper rifles used tracer bullets to see the bullet drop. In BF4 they tinkered it up (bullet drop) imho, because the maps doesn't have that much space to really mess with the zeroing. This game... New era! Bullet drop the fokk out of all the guns! Even pistols... The M40A5 rifle dropped 10-20cm's in just 50-70m's for me!!! It's a joke really :D IRL: MV:777m/s so yea... it makes roughly 350m's in just half of a second...
    All the boys and girls out there: If you want to play this in solo mode: Don't buy it!!! I bought it because of some undemandig guy's told me: "It's good in single player too!" No, it isn't. Really. In the beginning it is a refreshing and cool looking game, yes. But if you play it enough time, you will see that this game is made to be played in co-op with at least 1 or 2 friends. In every aspect for real. There are missions that you can't even make without real people in you team. (deactivate towers for ex. where you have to disable comm towers one after another, but if you disable the first one, the game tells you: "Rush for the second tower!" You got 45 seconds... impossible even with a heli, believe me)
    All i can say: This game is a good idea, and a good game! But if you want to play solo and somewhat real gunplay/shooter: miss out on this one, or wait for it when it gets AT LEAST 20-30% discount!
    I'm sure i'm missing a lot of good and bad things. But the majority of people can already make a decision from this review.
    So a maximum of 6 outa 10!
    Over and out.    … Expand

    - the synchronous fire is very useful

    But :

    - far landscape fextures are low quality

    - close high quality textures sometimes do no load or too late, even on a high-end PC (9900K, RTX 2080 TI, 32 GB RAM, Intel Optane 900p)

    - not tactical enough : one can give only basic orders to your 3 mates.    … Expand

    It started out fairly good. But simply put, the rest is repetitive. Must have friends to play this and enjoy it for longer periods of time. I tapped out around 6 hours. Environments were great though. Plenty of diverse space, the problem is there is not much to do in it.

    + A large and beautiful open world
    + Pretty good game to play in coop

    - Terrible car physics
    - Boring campaign
    - Stupid AI
    - A lof of repetitivly missions and activities
    - No PvP mods on release

    Ghost Recon Wildlands is a good example of destroying a nice game concept by doing game without a bit of creativity.

    The map is boring, every weapon shoots pretty much the same or handles horribly. Stealth is also handicapped, enemies can see you from a mile away, and most locators aren't designed for that. All missions are almost the same. And driving vehicles is like an asset from the unriel engine library. In conclusion, the game has everything

    Absolute masterpiece... If you haven't played it at this point, buy it in a Ubisoft-Sale and enjoy it. In my opinion, it's the most underrated game to have ever existed. Definitely the best Ghost Recon Game, still today.

O que era para ser seu forte que era a questão stealth é bem fraco também com uma inteligencia artificial muito fraca dos inimigos sabendo em muitos momentos onde exatamente onde você está ao serem chamados atenção, corpos de inimigos no chão simplesmente somem não dando pára você esconder.
    Falando do mapa em si é muito variado e muito bonito explorando muito bem a vegetação do pais onde se passa dando uma imersão muito boa do jogo acho que um dos pontos mais forte do jogo.
    Agora em questão da versão PC é realmente lamentável muitas quedas de quadros muita vezes não conseguindo segurar os 60fps nas mais variadas resoluções possíveis rodei ele em duas configurações diferentes sendo:

    Processador: FX 6300

    아마 이때부터 유비의 실없는 맵 늘리기가 정점에 달했던것같다. 언뜻 메기솔V를 떠올리는 순간도 있었지만 결국 전체적으로 보고나면 설사처럼 퍼져버린 작품인듯

The AI team mates are just complete **** garbage. All 3 will be with you and have enemies just come up behind me a kill me with out the **** AI doing **** I get down and they only revive me when I am half dead. Just so **** trash.

The Helicopter spawn is a **** joke. It will and always spawn on the other side of gates, on a mountain, on cars or next to poles and just automatically get destroyed. It's a 50/50 on spawning it. I do not recommend this game unless you play with friends. Playing with AI will just keep pissing you off.… Expand

    This game is stupid at times when you play 5 minutes to fail a mission and start all over again and still fail after 10 attempts because of stupid game mecanics that are not fun or not challenging either. Just bad design which makes you start again and again from the beginning.
    Uninstalled the game after that.

    Actually really cool game, if you have decent PC to run it. Map is huge, it has amazing graphics and weather effects. Story is nothing special, but can be fun enough. But i think best thing in this game is just free roaming and having fun.

    Great visuals and a huge map are perfect foundations for a good open world game, but Wildlands falls short of expectations (because of unpleasant driving and flight models among other things) and it’s up to Ubisoft to remedy that. [05/2017, p.46]

    Fun shooting and open world are great, but there aren’t many Ghost Recon elements and game simply feels dull at times.
