    I don't understand the initial review bombing. The map is large, with many missions and additional content. It's perfect for a cooperative game with 3 more friends (4 in total) . We had more than 300 hundreds hours of fun !

    Jogo divertido que fica seco perto do fim. Foi muito divertido jogá-lo e a adição constante de missões de facção, mesmo depois de vencer o principal, é um bom recurso. Queria que fosse multiplataforma jogaria muito mais se fosse assim

Episode 2 and 3 feel a little unnecessary and i wish they just combined the best elements of all 3 and made one great expansive campaign but it's still really fun just because of the great gameplay loop. Alot of the initial issues at release have been fixed and so much has been added that its almost an entirely new game. This is worth another go at playing and even though it took awhile and some issues remain this game has really come into its own and is something that will keep you engaged for dozens of hours.… Expand

    Buena historia, el gameplay es muy superior a wildlands y en playstation 5 se ve fenomenal a 60fps. Me encontré con un par de problemas en la IA, pero que se solucionaban al subir el nivel de estos (giraban en círculo). En cuanto a tantos problemas técnicos de los cuales se queja la gente, ya casi no los tiene y ahora en el 2021, es un gran juego.

    I bought the game in December 2020 on PS4 and honestly I rarely had so much fun in collaborative multiplayer mode to do the campaign!
    The game is now very good since 18 months and it offers an open world, beautiful, with a multitude of approaches (infiltration? Parachute jump from helicopter? approach by boat? Capture an armored jeep with a Gatling gun for a frontal assault?), the possibility to customize your equipment, your outfit. The scenario is quite good and above all there are many missions that leave a lasting memory (ah! the infiltration of the fortress of Flycatcher!)

    I can only recommend this game to a group of 4 friends who want a game with $15, full of possibilities, missions, and with such a choice of weapons/holdings/equipment that there is no need for micro-transactions (those are much less present than many games: Fifa & co). A big yes for this great game that deserves much better than 56 !    … Expand

    After the last Game Update and the addition of the free DLC "Motherland" Breakpoint started to resemble Wildlands (improved and better), which worked out to be honest.
    Finally, it is a game worth playing.
    Congratulations Ubisoft, Ubisoft Milan and Ubisoft Paris :)

    At launch the game seemed bad (I just played the demo on ps4), BUT a few weeks ago, I decided to buy the game at a discounted price for my ps5, and I feel bad for paying less for such a good game, I do not know how much it has changed since day one, but today, It is a great game that does not deserve this hatred at all.

And that's actually the point right? As far as third person stealth shooters go, hard to find a better one than Breakpoint. The game had a lot of issues at launch as do a lot of games these days, but Ubisoft really has done a excellent job making updates and adjusting a lot of features in the game to make it more like GR: Wildlands and even better, which is what most people wanted. If you saw a review shortly after launch that probably gave this an average or below average review, just know it's a significantly improved game in almost every way since then.

    The closest comparison to this game strictly in terms of gameplay, would probably be Phantom Pain, if you never played Wildlands. Obviously, this is not an opinion many have but Breakpoint is EASILY better than Phantom Pain. Again, not something most people would say, however Breakpoint just gives you far more freedom, both in exploration, customization - both character and weapons, and how to play each mission itself. However, if you're coming to this game for story, not really going to find it here. It's basically kind of a rip off of the plot of Captain America Winter Soldier... but gameplay is what makes the game.

    Ultimately, this game is somewhat repetitive. However, most video games are repetitive based on whatever type of game it is, doesn't necessarily mean it's not a good game and missions are fun to play through. Microtransactions are another issue people really hated, however there really is nothing in the game you ever need to purchase with real money, 90% of the things in the game can be found in the game world. You just also can spend money to get them faster, this shouldn't really matter for most people. The game does require you to always be online and have an internet connection. This may be an issue for some, it really isn't great they made it like this since its definitely not needed for single player at all. However, if you have a decent enough internet connection, it shouldn't be an issue. I rarely ever got kicked off the server, it never effected my enjoyment of the game.

    The game is really fun and you can customize your entire experience in the game. There are four difficulty settings and you can completely customize the HUD you see on the screen, including nothing at all, making it a very cinematic immersive experience. So you can make it unforgiving if you're spotted by enemies, requiring you to go completely silent, or you can make the game allow you to go loud and get into fire fights. the experience can be tailored to however you prefer to play and attack the objectives.

    Ultimately, this game was heavily criticized since it was launched and got pretty bad reviews. However, it's been really improved since then. You may not enjoy it as much as I did, but if the game looked cool and intrigued you when it came out, but the negative reviews made you afraid to try it, I would say you'll almost definitely like it now, especially given it's pretty cheap anywhere you find it.    … Expand

    Recently picked it up on sale. The reviews don’t give this game justice. I have not encountered any game breaking bugs. Yeah I’ve seen a few glitches here and there but nothing crazy. There is so much customization it’s insane. There is also a ton of stuff to do and it’s fun. Grab it on sale and give it a chance. Not a perfect game but definitely not a bad game at all.

    Felt like I had to show some love for this game. I know it got a lot of criticism early on. I started playing post- "immersive mode" update which drops the loot shooter aspect of the game and honestly I really enjoy it. Stealth is actually required (unlike Wildlands) or you get swamped. AI isn't the greatest, but hey, you can always turn up the difficulty.

    Pretty awesome open-world setting to explore. Never felt like I was wandering aimlessly, there is always some objective to pursue. I like that you can play the game solo or in coop with friends. Ubi also injected the game with TONS of options in the settings menu so you can basically customize the game until it feels like the game that you want to play (including difficulty, how many weapons you carry, injury resistance, stamina regeneration, on and on...)
    Overall, solid stuff here IF you ignore the loot-shooting and just want to play a tactical shooter.    … Expand

The game has many advantages and I will put some of them below:
    1. You can clear areas of likely enemies and marking enemies. This makes the game much more challenging and interesting as you will have to memorize where your enemies are and never know where they might come from.
    2. You don't have a clear objective and you choose the story path. I've been looking for this for a long time in an open world game that, despite having the missions, you are free to go your way. Whether it's map knowledge, tackling enemies, and setting up a strategy or tactic that will best support your game.
    3. It's not similar to The Division 2 as many say. Much of the mechanics here follow the Wildlands. Here the character speaks. A few things like mounting the gun are alike, though, I found a positive aspect.
    4. The game has a giant live map. You pass areas of the map that are likely to have their actions in the future, and things are working normally. Devices being activated. When you take a map tour looking for fast travel points, it's fun to watch the beautifully designed map.

    My score just won't be 10 due to trying to push us a Pay2Win (I hope Ubisoft stops with this soon), but as far as I saw from the game, the game has perfectly met my expectations.    … Expand

    What I personally don't like is the story. I would have preferred something real like in Wildlands - Mexican drug war, or Syrian conflict. Instead we're fighting high tech drones on some fictional island, well...
    The PVP mode is great though, bigger maps and you can play the same character with the same upgrades as in campaign. Alone for the PVP it's worth it. Just make sure all your weapons are Mk3 before you start playing online, or you'll mess up your K/D like me.

    Stop shedding tears over Wildlands, the game is from 2016 and the graphics are just not up to date anymore. Breakpoint is a good sequel, with some flaws. If you like playing co-op with a friend or tactical PVP then you'll have fun with this game.    … Expand

    Very few bugs I've run into, the grind is actually kind of a great progression that keeps you motivated rather than a chore. Microtransactions have not been an issue, I have bought none and having a great time.
    I'm actually liking not having ai team mates because it got a bit easy to use sync shot all the time and just cheese your way though hard bases etc. Here you actually have to do a bit more work and I'm liking it.
    Maybe they've changed the game a bit but I doubt much since it's still pretty new but I'd suggest ignoring the 0 reviews especially if you liked Wildlands. To me this is quite a big step up and I'd recommend it.
    I'm even thinking about buying it for PC as well since it will probably run even better on my 1080 Ti but annoyed it isn't on steam.    … 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.
