    SCORE: 8/10.

    NO NO NO! I read all of the reviews and really ??? People have DEFINITIVELY not played the game. IF YOU LIKE WILDLANDS go ahead and buy this game. IGNORE THE MICROTRANSACTIONS DEBATE it is old and NOT REAL. The same things that were said for ODYSSEY are being said here. YES developers/studios etc, are allowed to use the same engine the same modeling etc. I do not understand    SCORE: 8/10.

    NO NO NO! I read all of the reviews and really ??? People have DEFINITIVELY not played the game. IF YOU LIKE WILDLANDS go ahead and buy this game. IGNORE THE MICROTRANSACTIONS DEBATE it is old and NOT REAL. The same things that were said for ODYSSEY are being said here. YES developers/studios etc, are allowed to use the same engine the same modeling etc. I do not understand why people criticize Ubisoft for being "generic" HEY BUDDY ITS CALLED BUSINESS IF SOMETHING WORKS WHY CHANGE IT or IF SOMETHING IS NOT BROKEN WHY FIX IT? ENOUGH is ENOUGH. I love Rockstar games and apparently most of you do to. I do not see people complaining about them using the same engine, modelings, etc for GTA and Red dead and the rest of their games. So do us a favor and Shut up! stop trying to find in this era "innovation" when clearly it is not possible. ALL GAMES ARE REPETITIVE ALL GAMES, make you go from point A to point B and do something. ALSO some will make you grind which is ok.

    BREAKPOINT: Everything works, except the animations not truly fond of them. They have an issue with the rendering though cutscenes as well. The incorporation of the RPG elements, I personally (WHO HATE RPG's) have found it not that annoying. The AI reacts as expected, there are some "glitchy" dumb moments, but one of the BIGGEST changes which I like from Wildlands (or GTA for example as another shooter) is that when you shoot the enemies do not know your precise location if your weapons are silenced so it is interesting how they react and try to find you and engage against you (Wildlands had the same, but this time around I feel that it is more realistic, as you can see them spreading out trying to find you and guess exactly where you are it is until you shoot them repeated times with the silenced weapon that they all realize where you are precisely). It has been fun to see this develop. I hate games were you shoot from a silenced weapon and enemies magically know where you are and start shooting at your precise location. So this is very nice and improves the tactical feeling. SOUND is amazing, weapons sound great, the effects of explosions as well. Dialogue of NPCs could be largely improved as it becomes repetitive but who cares as all games are the same.
    PROGRESSION: Like some other reviewers have said on IGN, just play the game you do not need to spend real money to get higher loot. Just by exploring and engaging enemies you will find what you need. BUGS are present it depends, mine have been funny my friends have suffered some others and they have NOT ruined the experience. Hopefully they will get fixed.

    Overall it has been a fantastic experience I like many games specifically shooters and open world games, but I hate RPGs. So if you are like me you will enjoy this game even though the RPG factor is present it is not that annoying. You can still kill humans with 2 shots to the head if they are heavy and with one shot if they are regular Joe's.

    This game is fun. Reason for the 8 is because I do not like they incorporated RPG feeling to it should have kept it like Wildlands and because of the Interface which is complicated to understand and not that friendly.

    P.S. People hated Wildlands, yet months after people bought the game played it and continue to play it online. I met those people online and we have had lots of fun, it was an underrated game. I feel the same will happen with Breakpoint.    … Expand

    Constantly crashing do to online only requiring high bandwidth speed.
    The game looks good and has potential, but the fear of online piracy from Ubisoft has caused them to set up a system ultimately alienating paying players.

    I wonder if the users played this game before rate it.... Your only fault Ubisoft was not to pay the critics, that is the only reason why crappy games has 8+ and this game a 5. I totally love it
    Note: if you want to buy items you don't need to use actual money, just play and you will get the coins

    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!

    Well, first off most people are giving the game 0/10 because it has micro transactions which can utterly ruin the game experience of levelling up and exploring. However, if you have the ability to not purchase these things, which literally everyone does, then it shouldn’t affect your experience. As for gameplay, it’s pretty fun. If you enjoyed wildlands, you will enjoy playing this.

If you enjoyed wildlands, you will enjoy playing this. Its a fairly simple stealth shooter, there are a few bugs which we’ve come to expect from Ubisoft, nothing new there. That being said, if you don’t like Ubisoft games, their play style, etc. You won’t enjoy this. if you enjoyed Division and wildlands you will probably enjoy your time with breakpoint. It’s not groundbreaking, the story and writing are dodgy at best, but the gameplay is solid and I had a good Experience with my limited playtime.… Expand

    If you have played Wildlands and see what you now get in Breakpoint, it´s lust a pile of s***t.
    The world is just...empty, you have nothing to explore, the KI is stupid as hell and the bugs just hurt.
    And then that Shop... i just don´t have the right words for that, it´s a sad sad story you get with this game...

    I actually enjoy it! Played wildlands before and this builds upon it. Could use some improvements like adding A.I. squad, camera/zoom options and holstering your weapons. I like the gear rank system, reminds me of the division and borderlands( without the forced 1st person view). The microtransactions are not game breaking, it's just for cosmetics, weapons or time savers (PvE). So ignoreI actually enjoy it! Played wildlands before and this builds upon it.

All they had to do was improve on wildlands and they did nothing but force together a bunch of useless RPG and looter shooter crap thats nothing more than a microtransaction nightmare,the whole point of this terrible game is to sell you crap.

    Tons of bugs in this game and absolutely disgusting in-game shop. Microtransactions, time-savers, purchased gameplay stuff (not only cosmetics, but weapon, technique, weapon customisation) is enough to skip this game just not to feed money eager publisher companies.

    This game was literally made from the ground up, so that micro-transactions can be implemented in a huge way. This is shown by the rpg elements(gear lvls) and the social hub.

The game has shown to have so many problems, the AI enemy being stupid and not a challenge, the 'survival element' they advertised being non existent, the missions being dull and repetitive, and the pay to win micro-transactions.... In addition, the world feels empty compared to Wildlands, yes i know the story is different but still it just feels empty with the lack of civs. This core of the game is not a ghost recon game. This game is a combination of destiny, division and Wildlands. For me Wildlands was a great game if you played with a good group of friends. I was hoping they would add on to what they did with Wildlands and make it better, but sadly they went the other direction and failed with BreakPoint. The game itself does not know what it is, is it a realistic shooter? is it a looter shooter? is it an RPG? The developers tried to implement so many different elements into the game so that they could add allot of micro transactions. This mutilated form of a ghost recon game resulted in its breaking point.… Expand

    Half-hearted game that makes a low-effort attempt at a Ghost Recon title. Save your money. Riddled with bugs, MTX and pay-to-win. Don't do what I did and get the ultimate edition, huge mistake. Wait for a deep, DEEP sale on this title...if it ever happens.

    The first 30 minutes of the game are the best it's going to get.

    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.

    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.
