    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 !

I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s rarer for me to get into a multiplayer game. Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a little bit of everything; PC (built by me), Xbox, Playstation, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (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

    Breakpoint makes me wish this was Wildlands 2. The world of Auroa is unoriginal and bland, and it's empty 63% of the time.

The world of Auroa is unoriginal and bland, and it's empty 63% of the time. The only people that drive cars in this game are the enemy AI, despite civilians being in the game. Speaking of the enemy AI, it's stupid beyond belief. They tend to react to nothing, and it's easy to wipe out a full base without serious consequences. Squads are half-assed, the story is hot garbage, and one I can't get invested in. Characters you can't connect with, god-awful voice acting, and after completing a mission, you feel you never made a difference. Unlike in Wildlands, where completing a missing gets you one step closer to defeating the boss of that certain region. Cutscenes are terrible to look at, they all look like plastic when they speak. However, the gameplay is nice, gunplay feels quite fluid, and some animations look nice. Not all though. Graphics are better, and they've added survival mechanics, but it's whether you like it or not. I don't. So, I disabled it. And it's important to mention that none of the regular immersive features existed at launch.

    The game has adapted some sort of hub area to hang out in, which strays from a normal Ghost Recon game. You can still find guns around the map, but you can also buy them from the shop of Erewhon, they hub area. Ther's even, you know. MICROtransactions. The game uses this currency system called Skel Credits that you can find around the world. If you don't want to traverse the incredibly boring, bland, unoriginal, stupidly narrow "open" world, you can always buy the guns from the shop. Skel Credits are also used to buy certain clothing items, refill your items gear, and buy vehicle skins. But please, REFRAIN from buying ANY vehicle skin in the game. The only vehicles you'll be using is either helicopters, dirt bikes, or fast travel. Because the world is so narrow, attempting to drive any other car than the ones I listed up there is hellishly tough. There's nothing to see or do in Auroa anyway, and all the best landmarks in the game are not interactable. Missions don't add any incentive to complete them, unlike Wildlands, when you took down a cartel boss you'd get a crap-ton of skill points or even a unique weapon you couldn't find anywhere else.

    At launch, you didn't have a Ghost team, which turned of a lot of people from playing the game. Later, they did add a squad, and the end result is pretty bad. See, in Wildlands, your squad was calm, cool, and collected. They'd banter which each other for a few seconds, whether you entered a new province or after a briefing from Bowman. In Breakpoint. your squad of characters are forgettable. They never talk with you. NEVER. Not one conversation can be struck up with them, and I only use them as help for clearing bases, whereas in Wildlands, I kept my squad active to dress them up in serious or sometimes silly outfits, and just have them walk around with me in the beautiful world of Bolivia. The only time your squad in Breakpoint ever talks is either when they complement you on getting a headshot, marking an enemy, or using their abilities. I don't change their outfits much, and usually only change the weapons they carry.

    Like said before, the world of Auroa is horrendous to look at and explore. Second worst map since Pokémon: Scarlet and Violet's world. I'm not incentivized to explore, find guns, gear, clothing, skill points, or even enemy bases, something I did a lot in Wildlands. Civilians exist, but they always ask, "What are you doing here?" or "Please don't hurt me!" Then I shoot them for fun. The civilians don't drive, ever, and you tend to wonder why they even bothered adding regular cars in the world, half of which you can't even drive. You can't holster your weapon like Wildlands. It's LITERALLY the definition of one of the "worst open world games ever".

    Story is ass. I would review for you, but I haven't completed it yet, and probably never will. But so far, characters are horribly designed, voice acting is -10/10, and character development is just non-existent. Enemy variety is the same as Wildlands, though, as you can guess by now, Wildlands had better enemy variety. First is Sentinel. Much like the cartel, Sentinel are the main enemies you fight throughout the game. Their AI is stupid, but they banter with one another, a lot more I can say for my own damn squad. They don't have many tools to their disposal, and you can stealth a whole base of Sentinel enemies and not get caught. If you do get caught, there aren't any consequences. The next is Wolves, and much similar to Unidad in Wildlands, they are the greater threat. But the Wolves are as easy to defeat as Sentinel. They LITERALLY offer no new challenge. They have more drones, but that's about it. Yeah, I hated going up against the Unidad in Wildlands, and sometimes tried avoiding missions that included them, but at least they differentiated from the cartel.

    Breakpoint is just bad. Simple as that.    … Expand

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

Alot of the initial issues at release have been fixed and so much has been added that its almost an entirely new game.

    Я в принципе негативно отношусь к кооп играм. Так как в них невозможно развивать какой либо серьёзный сюжет, а тем более рассчитывать на какую то затягивающую атмосферу. Играть в них можно только по локалке с другом. По инету с кем попало, ну это полный отстой.
    Так, что буду давать оценку как одиночной игре.
    Ну что сказать: иди убей, иди принеси, иди приведи, иди угони это все задания имеющиеся в игре. Прошёл часов 12, честно говоря всё это однообразие начинает надоедать.
    Хорошо хоть убрали этих тупых напарников из Wildlands, которые портили весь стэлс, игра проходится водиночку.
    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?
    Признаюсь, пока, игру прошёл процентов на 80, наверное, продолжать игру никакого желания нет. Скучно! Никакого движения, ни в сюжете, ни в прокачке, ни в чем не наблюдаю. Может быть, когда нибудь.........но вряд ли.
    Короче Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter у студии получилась самой хорошей игрой серии, и напарники к месту, и сеттинг тоже. Зачем было ломать всю эту концепцию? Не знаю.    … Expand

    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?

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!)

    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.

    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.
