    Lot of bad reviews of this game. Let's just get the cons out of the way. The worst being the micro-transactions. This game is littered with them. This is an obvious P2W game and if you are all about multiplayer, my suggestion to you would be to avoid the game unless you have a bigger bank account than most and are willing to spend a few hundred more $$$ to either kick everybody else's buttLot of bad reviews of this game. Let's just get the cons out of the way. The worst being the micro-transactions. This game is littered with them. This is an obvious P2W game and if you are all about multiplayer, my suggestion to you would be to avoid the game unless you have a bigger bank account than most and are willing to spend a few hundred more $$$ to either kick everybody else's butt or in most cases, get even with everyone. Also, not confined to just this game, but let's just call this "3 days early" mess what it is. You get to pay a little more money to get the game on time or, you can pay only the $60 and get the game 3 days late. That trend in video games has got to go. Finally, I really don't like the always online thing. If my internet goes down, I should still be able to play the game and being always online means that I am at the mercy of my internet provider to be able to enjoy a $60 game. But if you can get past this micro-transaction, money grabbing heavy game and have enough discipline to not spend any extra money on it, It really is a pretty decent game. I am not a big shooter game person. I don't play Battlefield or COD and I did not play the Wildlands or either Division game. So I don't really have anything to compare this too. What I can say about it, is that after watching my son play this, (which is why I bought the game, for him, not me) I thought looked good and it looked fun to play. So I have been playing at night after everyone goes to bed and it just keeps me coming back for more. It's fun. The gun play is good, the graphics are good and the weapons handle well. I like the story so far and I will finish the game eventually. I think that is the most important thing for a game, something that is fun enough to keep you coming back. I won't play multiplayer so I can't comment on that, and I will not be using any "time savers" or buying any "crafting bundles" or tattoos, so the micro-transactions won't really bother me. This is in no way defending Ubisoft for putting them in there like this, but this game can be enjoyable without spending any extra money. Bottom line is if I was scoring this on gameplay and fun playing the game, this game gets a 9. But having to think about the micro-transactions, P2W scheme and always online aspects, it gets a 2. So I figured 6 was a good compromise.… Expand

    First all I will point out why this game is getting bad user scores. Micro transactions & Glitches. I have not encountered any glitches at this time and I don't also feel the need to buy any micro transactions. I thought the gunplay and vast world was interesting and diverse. The graphics were also very pleasing on the eye. My only complaint would be the cover system and the loading times.

That being said, the structure of the game is the most confusing and offputting aspect of the whole package, from the idea of Gear Score meaning nothing in the context of headshot-always-wins.

    THAT being said, the high action, high tension moments are awesome. Playing with a squad works to the game's benefit, by design or not, having to improvise when a plan goes wrong and everything erupts into a firefight is where this game shines over it's predecessor, thankfully, now that the AI is being adjusted to react more realistically/harshly to detection and reinforcements, the way it did in Wildlands.

    You won't find Metal Gear Solid, but you'll find something VERY like it with the Ghost Recon series, and that continues into Breakpoint, from mechanics, to design to controls and aesthetics and laying on your back aiming at your feet, and active camo while laying prone. The game has a lot of convolution in terms of what it wants to be, with a social hub, a lot of microtransactions (which in all honesty is just a continuation of Wildlands/Division Ubisoft, which is not good, but isn't as egregious as many are making it out to be).

    If you want a Wildlands-Gear sandbox with a super-emphasis on customization, a confusing but functionally-true-Ghost-Recon-realism, this game does the basics right. As it is an online only game, another knock, there is a lot they need to work out as far as how they want to continue the 'live service' hub and economy aspects. Otherwise, bugs carried over from wildlands and mentioned faults all said, Breakpoint's highs are explosive and fun and frantic, as well as tense and tactical as much or little of each as you plan it to be. Flawed, but fun.    … Expand

    Game is well made but it lacks the spark of hunting down a network from Wildlands. The acting was very well done but the story felt flat and 2 dimensional. The devs have finally added some highly requested features post launch (imersive mode and AI squadmates) which improve the overall product.

So overall it has lots of potential if Ubisoft can be innovative enough to expand the gameplay a little so if you want my thoughts on how it plays just think Destiny/Wildlands/ with a little Division influence I think Ubisoft should have waited until next year to fix some minor bugs but I see the game as a potential to be a Destiny like game if Ubisoft would take the time and market it like that for long term development and get rid of the microtransactions that affect the PVP.… Expand

As such, the sweeping changes made in recent updates are partially lost upon me, but I immediately disabled looter-shooter nonsense like gear score, enabled "darkest night," and tweaked several of the overwhelming number of options available to customize the player experience. The apparently late addition of optional AI teammates in solo play is appreciated, but these generic bots are little more than an extra piece of gear for sync shots and fire support. This sequel to Wildlands feels much more like a sizeable expansion than anything truly new, but in spite of its rampant bugs, hilarious glitches/inconsistencies, and horrendously stupid AI, there is quite a bit of fun to be had--especially in cooperative mode. Most people do not play tactical shooters for their storylines, so the derivative plot(s) in Breakpoint shouldn't be too disappointing. In all fairness, this game's confused mishmash of themes is a huge improvement over the original's cocktail of blind patriotism and cultural appropriation--but don't expect anything memorable or logical.

    Gunplay and traversal are a mixed bag, but usually remain solid enough to support most tactics and improvisation with minimal interference.

    With gear score off, it is incredibly obvious that this "immersive" mode was tacked-on after release, because the clunky upgrade and crafting mechanics make little sense. Tips and tutorials often refer to elements that are only present in the original mode. Most NPCs and cutscenes also tend to refer to my female Nomad as "he" or "him," so Ubi seems to assume that players will stick closely to the bearded testicle in all of the loading screens. Personally, I simply pretend that my Nomad is gender-fluid and cares even less about these design flubs than myself.

    The various islands and provinces of the fictional South Pacific land of Auroa are home to some impressive vistas and biomes. Realistic weather and the time of day are visually dynamic, but have only limited effects on the general flow of the game. The survival elements hyped in the trailers are unfortunately mostly absent outside of dressing wounds and drinking from your canteen to refill a stamina bar. Oh well.

    Yes, microtransactions are a thing, but they can be safely ignored as most consist of typical cosmetic options and lazy-gamer shortcuts. Ultimately, Breakpoint can be good fun as a co-op tactical sandbox with a vast multitude of options to live out your spec-ops fantasies--as long as you ignore the persistent technical issues and entirely mediocre design. Definitely worth the $15 that I paid to play it--just keep your expectations low.    … Expand

    An upgrade on Wildlands several new mechanics are introduced but in essence its the same experience but longer and bigger. It ads microtransactions but at no point I got forced to use them. The downside for me its the story that doesn't feel as interesting as the previous one and a fictional location instead of a real world place.

    This game does a lot to improve on the variety of game play form wildlands but also does a lot to complicate it. The RPG elements and looter shooter aspects of the game are not for everyone, but have certainly kept me engaged chasing gear levels and guns. Though the gear levels are more just a number and don't seem to have much effect in the end.

    However, if you do ignore them, and try to play this game as a sort of poor man's Splinter Cell, I actually think there's a lot of fun to be had. Taking down an entire base without alerting anyone is still a good challenge (I recommend bumping up the difficulty a bit though) and the feeling of prowling through the very good looking scenery is pretty immersive.

    A lot of the map feels like wasted space though, with random two-man patrols just littered around to keep you entertained I suppose. It's not a great execution of an open world really, and so instead just simply playing through the story and going from waypoint to waypoint is probably how I recommend doing it, because actually trying to soak up what the world has to offer will leave you pretty empty-handed.

    Overall though, if you try to force yourself to play stealthily, ignore the botched levelling system, and try to follow along with the story a bit, I think there's a lot of hours of enjoyment to be had here.

    It's a shame though, because if the developers had just tightened this game up a bit, and actually tried to make it a more focused experience, rather than a hodge-podge of every type of game imaginable, I think it could have been a truly great game. Instead, it's fairly mediocre.    … Expand

    Теперь про оружие.
    Его здесь много, но оно все, какое то однообразное. Если штурмовая винтовка то 30 рожок, 40 урон, если ударная винтовка то 15 рожок, 65 урон (за цифры не отвечу, не помню точно) и так всю игру. Короче можно взять в первые 10 минут игры пушку, прокачать её и до конца игры ничего лучшего ты не найдёшь. Единственное, по мере прохождения появляются цветные стволы с одним, двумя либо тремя мало интересными бонусами.
    Вообще игра очень похожа на какую-то дешманскую The Division без боссов. Зачем Ubisoft две Division?

    PREVIOUS REVIEW:
    Alright here is the deal with Breakpoint... I had great expectations after Wildlands. The mechanics, the game play, the story, and the open world simulator were great.

    Now on to Breakpoint... So they cast the Punisher actor as the main villain. He does a great but limited job. The story is a bit wonky compared to Wildlands but honestly if you are playing this for an in depth story... this is the wrong game for you.

    The controls are clunky, no smooth transitions over obstacles, hiccups in controller actions, and delays/lag constantly when transitioning which cause disadvantages in game play. Wildlands did not have this issue.

    Micro-transactions you say? Heck yes this game has it. Every aspect from upgrading weapons, blueprints, cammo patterns, face-paint, tattoos, skins, etc... every single aspect of this game is micro-transactioned like crazy. Did you like the sync shot mechanic from Wildlands? Well guess what, now you have drones that will do that for you, but guess what!?! You've got to buy them. Like playing expansion content? Want to be able to kill the terminators in the expansion mission? Well you have to buy it, then you have to pay for a weapon that is the ONLY weapon that can kill a terminator.

    No team members, no team member customization like in Wildlands. It's like they took all the concepts that were applauded in Wildlands and decided they wanted to monetize them.

    (8) Very Good.
    Innovative, but perhaps not the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguably so.

    (-1) Microtransactions
    There are microtransactions in the game. It's not as invasive as other games but any microtransactions in a game is a bad thing. This game does feel grindy which is probably on purpose to get someone to use microtransactions. They are avoidable though.

    (-1) Always Online
    Not everyone in the world has internet and forces some people to miss out on a game that they would otherwise play. Not really a reason for it since it's not known to be a competitive multiplayer game.

    I enjoyed my time with the game especially after a year passed by and they added more options to the game like AI teammates, option to turn off drones, and hardcore mode which made it more appealing to me. Has an average story but good enough to keep you interested. The best part of the game is just observing outposts and trying to figure out what is the best way to get through it stealthy.    … Expand

    The enemies are beyond ridiculous. One of them get alerted, they all get alerted and (although they don't know your exact location) a group will go to your general location. One of them detects you then the ENTIRE base knows your exact location and will come after you, no matter where you run unless you run far from the base.

    Its a step down from wildlands and its basically a copy of the divison 2. Full of microtransactions and glitches, its one of the worse games of the year and probably of this generation.

    Edit: The game has been updated today that let’s the player customise aspects of the gameplay for example the Immersive Mode and an option to completely customise gameplay and HUD features. I have added +1 score point to take my rating up to a 4/10.

    Breakpoint is a fun game if you enjoy collecting the weapons (real world weapons with authentic sounds) and customising the weapons with attachments. I am currently playing the game solo on the easiest difficulty because the missions are designed to be completed with a co-op squad of four. I plan on joining other players games and playing on the higher difficulty once I have completed the story missions alone.

    I am one of those gamers who enjoyed Wildlands and got the Platinum trophy while still having a good time. If you liked Wildlands and want more of the same than you should like this.

    Edit: After finishing all of the Main Story Missions that are available I have noticed that 50% of the story missions are Locked Out as Paid DLC. Bulls***. And those story missions I played were very boring compared to Wildlands.

    I have changed my score from 6 to 4.    … Expand

    After seeing all the 0's and 10's I decided to try to give this game an in-depth unbiased review and try to touch on most of the important subjects.

    My personal tastes won't allow me to go any higher than a 5 for this game, I'm not a fan of looter shooter's, I think too much time is spent playing barbie and going through pages upon pages of loot, I'd rather just pick the equipment I want,    After seeing all the 0's and 10's I decided to try to give this game an in-depth unbiased review and try to touch on most of the important subjects.

    My personal tastes won't allow me to go any higher than a 5 for this game, I'm not a fan of looter shooter's, I think too much time is spent playing barbie and going through pages upon pages of loot, I'd rather just pick the equipment I want, and play the game, especially in the case of Ghost Recon, which should be a semi-realistic tactical shooter.

    If you like looter shooter's I'd say it's a 6. It's a 6 because there are a ton of bugs and the game is trying to appease too many different types of player's, and does nothing it tries very well. It's just a case of Ubisoft trying to toss out the biggest net possible in order to catch the most fish.

    The microtransactions were kind of pay to win before Ubisoft back tracked and removed them when the internet got ahold of it and tore them apart. The microtransactions are optional now, you don't need them, but you also can't get the most popular cosmetics available without buying them with real money. These types of microtransactions that paywall the best looking, most sought after items are a free-to-play game business model, and should not be in a full priced game. You absolutely should be able to unlock everything by playing the game, with Breakpoint, this is not the case. For example, you can get ghillie suit pants for free by looting, but have to buy the guillie suit top.

    They designed and implemented the social hub to stick high level player's into your hub to encourage you buy things in the store, it's the only reason they forced it into the game, as it adds nothing else besides a tedious walk into this massive, spread out social hub. If you have a squad of 4, it's going to take at least 30 mins to get in and out by the time everyone is done returning missions, getting new ones, selling, buying, crafting, breaking down gear. It's just like Division in this aspect, it gets tedious and is annoying.

    The shooting feels more or less the same as Wildlands, a little more unrealistic and arcadey due to the looter shooter element, you can't shoot through cover the same as you could in Wildlands, with my .50 caliber sniper I couldn't shoot through a metal plate attached to a railing on a walkway to get the guy behind it, which is a perfect scenario to use that weapon in. Also, enemies don't react to getting shot.

    A headshot is a one hit kill, but body shots are weaker than in Wildlands, instead of 2-3 body shots it's more like 5-6 shots for a kill. This makes the game feel arcadey, instead of headshots being a riskier finesse move that's mostly unnecessary, it makes them absolutely necessary when trying to take down multiple enemies quickly and quietly. This makes weapons feel weaker than they should, especially with bigger caliber weapons.

    I haven't played PvP in Breakpoint, but if it's anything like Wildlands, which from what I've read, it is, it's hide and seek with guns, not for me.

    Vehicle's have gotten worse overall, a couple of the 4x4's feel better, but the bike's handle worse than in Wildlands, helicopters too.

    Last but not least, robots/drones. These are the purple and yellow health bar enemy equivalent from Division, they are bullet sponges, even the tiny drones that shoot at you alongside the human AI take far too many shots to take down. If you choose to ignore your GS like a lot of the positive reviews say you can, these drones become even more spongey, the same goes for body shots on human AI that are far above your Gear Score level.

    The game can be fun, and the bones for a really good Ghost Recon game are there, but it's buried under The Division gameplay, crafting, looting, social hubs, all these things take away from the game.

    Me and 3 friends who played Wildlands together for literally years, played an hour and noticed we were only doing mission's and in combat for about 10 mins out of every hour, too much time is spent with all the extras in this game, one of my friends put it this way, "It feels like doing a mission is a reward for all the running around you need to constantly be doing."

    That's my honest take for the game.    … Expand

    Rating a game zero or because it has microtransactions or without even playing it needs to stop. I really enjoyed the opening to this game, felt more close and personal, survival felt like it meant something.. then you get to waterfall base and it kind of falls down from there.

    If you like the franchise and Wildland you could enjoy playing a little. However, it seems that this game it not finished yet, the history its so poor. Jon Bernthal is low and doesnt have sense sometimes. I think that its a game to buy in two months and enjoy playing when bugs are fixed and launch the post game content.

    the long range shooting is still a problem where after 230m mark the bullets drop is very high. you have to equip a perk to overcome that.
    the level design is very redundant.
    weapon upgrade is very bad. you have to loot the same gun over and over to level up or craft it via blueprints after every mission.
    i would have loved the game more if it was a copy of wildlands with different story.

    After 102 Hours played after they finally reintroduced the AI Teammates and gave as way to turn off Gear Score, I'm done with the game (in a bad way). Breakpoint is Wildlands (better game) with 1/4 the effort and a half-baked Division 2 loot system (play that for a loot game like this), with a half finished story.

Simply put, several interesting mechanics were added to Wildlands with very little effort to story and stripping down of gunsmith customization. Oh, and yes, they did add a TON of micro-transactions for pay-to-win. This game may very well kill Ghost Recon, due to lack of effort and a desire for increased monetization by Ubisoft.… Expand

    Ghost Recon Breakpoint offers a vast universe, where the survival aspects have been strengthened from GR Widlands. If the game suffers from a perfectible AI and a clear feeling of "déjà-vu", it doesn’t take anything away from its effectiveness. It works well, especially in coop, while the PVP is viciously nervous. An imperfect title, but with great moments, and a huge potential if handled with care by Ubisoft in the coming months.

    Ghost Recon Breakpoint is coincidentally living up to its name, being a failure and potential gravedigger for the famous franchise. Riddled with Pay-to-Win microtransactions tacked on looter shooter gameplay and pretty under average storytelling, even Jon Berenthal wasn’t enough to arise this gameplay up to some decent playable heights.

    At its best, Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a taut and tactical shooter that works brilliantly in co-op and is genuinely enjoyable to play but at its heart this is just another sandbox shooter and one that doesn't meet the technical standards we're used to from Ubisoft.
