    Only reason I give this game a 2 out of 10 is because the game is beautiful the from sunset and water absolutely beautiful! Other than that the core game and gear score and micro transactions... awful and just outright embarrassing for EA oh I mean Ubisoft!

    The game has many, many problems, the most glaring one being the insane amount of microtransactions that are truelly absurd (really, who does ubisoft thing actually spends that amount of money on this?), the AI is idiotic and it's full of glitches, Story is also very meh and not really engaging, but even though I completely aknowledge the fact that this game is hot garbage on many levels,The game has many, many problems, the most glaring one being the insane amount of microtransactions that are truelly absurd (really, who does ubisoft thing actually spends that amount of money on this?), the AI is idiotic and it's full of glitches, Story is also very meh and not really engaging, but even though I completely aknowledge the fact that this game is hot garbage on many levels, I have to admit I like the core gameplay somewhat, so I feel that, if ubisoft gets their **** together, it might actually turn into a servicable game, not good, but servicable. but in it's current state I can not recommend this.… Expand

    I was so pumped for this game, played the beta both closed and open, and then the game released and all the terrible pay 2 win mechanics came out, you can literally buy guns with real money, attachments, cars, xp boosts you name it you can buy it with real man. Not gonna support a game like this. Disappointed Ubisoft

    I like the visual part of the game, but I'm really disappointed with the gameplay and execution of tactical and survival aspects of the Breakpoint. Gunplay is really good, but gear score is non-sense in a tactical shooter and stamina is really intrusive as you can not cross even really small obstacles after it is depleted.

Oper world seemed really empty and boring compared to Wildlands, which was my favourite part of the series.… Expand

    First things first, DO NOT buy this game.

    Lemme explain. I spent about 350 hours on Wildlands. Story was ok, skirmishes were intense, great content overall.

    I spent 15 hours on Breakpoint, and I just uninstalled it.

    I spent 60 bucks for a game who isn't worthy of being called a beta-version.

    Cons:
    - Rigged with bugs. Over the 3 first hours playing, I spent about 10 minutes floating around, walking on air. Half of the time spent inside an helicopter, my character was floating ou of the vehicle.

    - Whenever I started to get pulled in the story, it was shut down by the EXCRUCIATING AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO LEVEL UP. Oh wait what's that ? You can actually speed up the process with micro transactions ? Fondle these balls, Ubisoft.

    - The AI (and combat in general). In Wildlands, I liked to play with the heavy sniper, as you could just kill a few goons from far away, the rest of them would hide and sound the alarm. Now you've got like, interns goons, who will happily stand in place while you kill them from afar. I cleared most of the bases by dropping a few mines at the entrance and then just shooting at the ground in front of the entrance. Ai will pack up, run toward the noise, get killed by the mines, done.

    - The character design. Sony called, they want their PS2 graphics back. Most of characters look like they're made of plastic, and then got some massive face surgery. I haven't seen such blocky faces since Mass Effect: Andromeda.

    Overall, this is a complete failure. Story was written by a Michael Bay wannabe high on acid, and character design was made using MS Paint. Every element that made Wildlands fun has been taken away, even the hunt for good weapons has been reduced to "Oh, you want a good sniper ? Then spend ~5 hours grinding for it. Oh, you want the BEST sniper ? That'll be 15 bucks mate".

    Pros:
    - Gotta be honest, sound design is good. Great music, gun sounds are ok, this was nice.

    - The micro-transactions never fail. Really. Feels like Ubisoft assigned all decent developers on payment methods.

    TL;DR : Wait about a year, until they completely patch it up, and then wait for a deep sale. I wouldn't spend more than 12 bucks for this.    … Expand

    It's just not that fun. The UI is a mess, too many systems going on, the loot doesn't make much sense, survival element is half baked, no squad, you're supposed to be a ghost but the stealth is a joke. Of course everyone is aware of the mtx's.

    Utter **** don't buy this game until it's completely fixed. The game is full of bugs; AI sometimes behaves like a mule, but sometimes acts like a omniscient god; the progression system is not that interesting (you loot 20 different places but get the same items with better stats). Just don't buy it, its not worth it.

    Trust me, Microtransactions aside this game has the most stupid AI in this generation, not only that but the animations feels like a game from 2002.

    I was excited when I first saw the trailer in E3 but once I played the beta I immediately canceled the pre-order. and this is the last time I’m gonna pre-order a **** game.

    Dear Ubisoft since you have taken my money(£100) I was wondering if can get a side-order of gameplay to go with my Pay to Win Microtransactions, Perpetual Hard crashes, server lags and
    straight faced lies.

    Wildlands was mediocre at best. And you would think Ubisoft would improve upon it. But this is 10 steps back.

    The entire progression of this game is based off microtransactions, or "time savers" if you will.


    Complete and utter rubbish. If someone gifts this to you, sell it immediately for 5$

    This game is just a lazy money grab that parasites on beloved franchise: buggy, immersion-breaking mess with mediocre story and copy-paste landmarks.

AI is dumb and bugged as hell - you dont need any skill at all even on Extreme difficulty. You dont even need any weapons except for single sidearms until you hit a grind wall in a form of extremely bullet-spongy drones that you must destroy from time to time to progress in story.

    Monetization should be mentioned separately - it is one of the worst pay-2-win even by the standard of free-2-play mobile game: you can literally by everything from start with enough real money including weapons, mods, vehicles, currency etc. This is a ridiculous example of play-2-not-play. No wonder devs did not care about filling open world with any meaningful activities - you are not meant to traverse whole world but instead meant to pay more money to skip intentionally boring lazily copy-pasted grind locations.

    Summary - you will lose nothing if you just skip this one, unless you are some kind of casual whale who dont mind spending a low of cash on a buggy mess just to complete it asap and move on to something more interesting and polished. This game may be worth checking again in 6-12 months when most bugs will be finally fixed and price will drop to 15-20 USD, but is no not really worth a cent more than that    … Expand

    Got this game as a birthday gift. Was quite excited to play it as i really enjoyed the ghost recon games on the xbox 360 back in the day.

Was quite excited to play it as i really enjoyed the ghost recon games on the xbox 360 back in the day. But my excitement soon disappeared when i started to play. This sin't really a game. It's basically a microtransaction store first and a game second. And the game that is there is very buggy and broken. It reminds me of Assassins Creed Unity and Fallout 76 in terms of how broken it is. The A.I is probably some of the worst i've ever seen. Enemies just stand there and wait for you to shoot them. And when you shoot they will be alerted and acknowledge someone is shooting, yet just stand there like a prize lemon waiting to be shot. Or they will literally stand right in front of you and not see you. They float about in mid air, get stuck on objects, it really is bad. Vehicle handling is very poor, especially bikes, bikes are outright broken. An you're supposed to be like a hardcore special forces ghost yet when your stamina bar runs out you cannot even traverse small walls that are only a few feet in height, lol. They story is terrible and full of stupid things that simply wouldn't happen, and that breaks the immersion. You're suppsoed to be this lone special forces ghost stranded behind enemy lines and need to find back up. Yet right at the start of the game you end up in a camp with like 100 or so other special forces ghost soldiers just standing around dancing or doing silly emotes. It's like, well here's 100 other special forces ghosts in this camp, why can't they just help me? lol It serves no purpose other than to set up a hub for the many microtransactions within the game, and there are A LOT of microtransactions. The silly things that these so called hardcore best of the best special forces do within the cutscenes just simply wouldn't happen and is so so stupid to the point you will either find it laughable, annoying or both. It's very immersion breaking. The story is also very bland the plot is full of holes and the voice acting and dialouge is cringe. Its worse than a bad B Movie is what it is. Graphics are very average from a modern game. I remember the ghost recon games i played on the xbox 360 back in the day blew me away with how pretty they looked. But the same cannot be said about this game. Especially not after coming off playing red dead 2 and days gone. They make this game look pretty average. All in all this is one of the worst birthday presents i have ever been given. And up there as one of the worst games i've ever played. Although you can't really call it a game as such as its more a microtranaction store front than a game and the game is an afterthought. I haven't used the microtransactions as i despise them. They have no place in a full price game. But i guarantee you that the microtransaction store front works perfectly with zero bugs. Yet the game part is very broken and full of bugs.… Expand

All these games share the exact same structure and offer the exact same gameplay loop that leads to nowhere. No signs of creative gameplay mechanics, no signs of a proper coherent narative. Just throw the player in an open world to wander around and fill it with activities that offer trash loot and will inevitably lead the player to microtransaction proposals.

    Ubisoft is the worst company out there by a long margin. At least EA and Activision might interact with their communities here and there about bugs and microtransaction issues... Ubisoft never does. the only time they'll come out is when they need to apologize to minorities. All my **** lolz at this piece of **** company.    … 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.
