    Really enjoyable game, I say this as a fan of the series since playing the first Ghost Recon on the Xbox 360.

    I love how the weapons handle and that enemies are not bullet sponges, the open world is cool however I did find myself getting annoyed with the amount of "traveling to way point" moments.

Another plus is the freedom to choose the flow of the story mission and how you approach each one. Graphics are a hit and miss but considering the draw distance, I completely understand. Gun-play is awesome and the weapons do feel different from one another. I highly recommend playing this on the highest difficulty as it gives it a more tactical feel.

    The world is vast and simply gorgeous. Lush, beautiful and diverse. Just driving around, from one mission to the next, with the ever changing weather effects and night-day cycling is an absolute wonder. The varying barrios with villagers have a distinctly South American feel and the chatter of the radio is enjoyable, reminiscent of FC4.

    The missions are challenging enough, for me.....an avid, but generally average gamer. Tactical consideration is the way to go and, once I get into the groove of moving around the mission AO's, seeking vantage points to scout enemies and pick off outliers to work my way in to the objective, while mobilizing my squad for sync shots and support...that's when the game absolutely thrums. Superb! I've got the game on hardened (or whatever difficulty is one higher than "regular") and struggle just enough when things go sideways during a stealth mission.....when they often do when I miss a sniper shot or stumble onto an enemy I didn't mark previously. Good stuff!

    The gun play is exquisite.....crisp, clean sounds with visual signatures that make for a satisfying experience overall. Customization is cool and relies on actually getting out and searching to discover components amidst the world instead of simply a level-up progression system based on XP.

    Wheeled vehicles are functional, and sort of fun. They have some nice traction physics, lending to sliding around on the dirt/muddy roads. Not exactly Dirt Rally, but interesting at least. The helicopter and, especially, the plane controls are a little hinky, and take some getting used to. There's something weird going on with the forward motion control with heli's that I can't figure out...maybe an underlying glitch that needs resolving.

    Now, to the story...which, I presume, is the issue at hand with respect to what's considered lacking from many critics' perspective. The story itself is not that involved. There's a multifaceted drug cartel and a special ops unit dedicated to taking it down, piece by piece. Character development is just not that important to what drives the game forward, IMO. I would say that, if you need a heart-felt story and depth of characterization to flesh out your gaming experience, you may want to look elsewhere. For me, the story itself takes a distant back-seat to the tactical gameplay, which is loads of fun. I don't care about the individual lives of each of the squad....but I do care about how they function tactically amidst the missions. So, to me in a game like this, the most important component in the overall fun-factor equation is the gameplay itself. And GR Wildlands has that in spades, from where I'm standing. I'm only into my third province and, given the huge scope of the map with all the myriad things to do, and the enormous boss tree I have left to work my way through, I'll be enjoying this game for many, many hours to come!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghost Recon Wildland has the best open world in a game of all time HANDS DOWN, for that reason I'm giving it 10, Breaking it down, the world is amazing, it looks amazing, the detail is of The Witcher 3 standard for an open world map, I'd say even better. This map beats GTAV's although the city in GTAV is still better but everything else is better in this. The graphics are borderline next gen, AMAZING. Now lets talking about the game, well the gameplay is great, a perfect cross between MGSV and GTAV, the combat is almost identicle to MGSV and the driving and flying is again almost identicle to GTAV although I would have prefered the driving to be a little more realistic but it does its job well enough. I'm 25 hours in and I havent even taken out one of the main bosses, I've taken down a few of the bosses below the mains bosses but I was chosing random locations so I have a long way to go, The boss take down is like a lite shadow of Mordor Nemesis system but without consiquences, well at least I think, I have had the world state change on me and rebels actually reminding me things I did in missions. Like MGSV the best way to play the missions is stealth either on single player or Co-op, both are extremely good but single play take a bit of getting used to the AI squad, they really do nothing if you don't give them orders, a bit unrealistic but it makes it more challenging. Co-op is great if you have the right people in your squad, I have seen some unbelievable senarios play out on both Co-op and single player, you simply couldnt script it, it was amazing and this is where i will say, the gameplay tools are so open ended meaning endless serarios can play out and this is where I feel it will divide peoples opinions, some people love script in games where they don't have to think and just let in play out, this game responds to your actions good or bad and anything can go down, this cna frustrated players who love their scripted games and the truth is this game is not for them but there is a hell of alot of missions and a wide variety too I have encountered so far but I still keep descovering something new every now an then. In the beginning I really wasnt sure about the story, yes the main characters are paper thin but the villains are actually pretty good and i have had some surpises in the story I didnt think would be there, I wasn't even asking for it but knowing what type of game this is I was actually impressed this was in the game. It saddens me to see so many rushed reviews where the critics have just skimmed through the game just to get a review out (cough GamSpot, cough Pc Gamer) I don't see Ghost Recon as a flawed game, a young game that needs a bit of age like a fine wine and with a few updates, Ubisoft set out to make an unbelievably ambitious open world shooter and they achieved their goal 100% any complaints critics are having is really down to their own personal taste and rushing through this game to get the review out doesnt give it justice. This game is what I wanted MGSV TPP's openworld to be but that turns out to be a dull boring nothing to do waste land but it has clearly borrowed MGSVs gameplay and that is not a bad thing, thats is what saved MGSV TPP.… Expand

    Really only just scraping the surface but impressed by the world they have built here and the sheer persistence of the enemy AI. I can see that missions may get a little repetitive and that probably is the big thing that may put me off a little but the ability to complete mission in varying ways will keep me coming back.

    First off, the map size. What made Battlefield appealing was the ability to disappear on a map, but also the ability to fly planes, drive tanks, jeeps..you get the point. G.R. brings that in on co-op. There is so much that can happen in one flight with your team. Parachuting and bullet drop add a flavor of complexity and realism to this. Especially when you do a "HALO" jump at night over a lighted city into a compound.
    Like GTA, you can pull a gun and get a free car. Shooting the innocent people will cause you to restart a mission, it makes the challenge that much more harder as even the bad guys are hiding in some of those vehicles.
    Did I mention Co-OP?! When you get into a game this size your missions are endless. From the simple roadside help, checkpoint clean up, and even taking on UniDad. (Organized police). You get rewarded for finding supplies, aircraft, ammo dumps..all for those rebels your team is there to help out.
    Visually stunning, this is one to grab, and plan on spending some time being part of a special force. There is a grind factor, but name a game that doesn't have that?

    What is wrong with people reviewing a game less than minutes after playing, or not playing at all and only the beta!? After 20 hours in and two regions nearly down, so far so good. Some of the best gaming experiences with a coop friend. Really memorable. So we cleared area one, and went a region to the north. Before we knew it we were raiding casino's, destroying slot machines, storming secret cocaine hideouts under mountains, Running through a holiday resort killing cartel, tanking down within a gym and Not a single repetitive mission. the AI was fun. So many times we got spotted, so many times we managed to loose them or they couldn't find us and gave up. Skydiving in at night, under night vision then switching to infrared to pick out those hard to see enemy's. Its incredibly fun and I'm nowhere near completion. I'm hearing the other regions are equally diverse. The gun play is immersive and satisfying and the equipment customisation is rediculously in depth. Long barrels to multiple scopes to all types of grips, so many combinations to explore. I'm hearing comparison with GTA, ok so the driving isn't as good, but this isn't a focused driving game, gta is. However GTA as soon as you step out of the car, the movement mechanics to me are terrible. The duck and cover system is clunky along with the aiming with guns is terrible. This game has nailed that, you can pick off head shots from 400 yards allowing for ballistics (drop, speed distance and gravity). Its completely open for you to play out the missions how you want. My friend and I are still waiting for the other two to buy the game before we go 4 player, but we still managed to setup some of the most amazing moments. We would ambush the cartel, he would sniper and grenade launcher the convoys from a hill while I layed down some heavy fire to clean up the stragglers. It looked incredible coordinating play in this way. Each taking a role, spotting covering each others backs and when it all goes wrong, being able to quickly remove silencers and go loud with all weapons is also amazing.

It helps to think of this as a co-op game with the option of single player there for anyone who hasn't got people to play online with, or doesn't want to play online with others. This for me is a nice touch, but the fun here is playing with friends and the carnage/hilarity that ensues when things go wrong, and the sense of achievement when things go right.

    Yes the driving mechanics are unrealistic, but I understand I'm not playing a driving simulator, and with that said, it's fun driving at full speed down the side of the mountain rather than driving along dirt rounds for ages or having to restart constantly because you've rolled the car and killed your team. My driving 'skills' are an ongoing joke between us, including when I got jammed between two rocks and no one could get out the car. I regret nothing. To me it is a fun element of the game which doesn't need to have 100% realism, in the same way I don't want drive the speed limit, stop at traffic lights, or go to a rest stop so my characters can take a piss.

    The graphics have also been criticised. I think the graphics are actually quite impressive for a console game. If I was bothered by having the best graphics and frame-rates then I'd buy a PC, but I'm not, I want the convenience of booting up my console after work and logging onto a game that's fun, tactical but also has arcade-like elements which make the game fun and accessible to more casual gamers.

    Unless a game is flawless it will always get mixed reviews because of the price point of all games usually being the same, regardless of quality. Yes, Horizon Zero Dawn is INCREDIBLE, but it is a completely different game. If you play single player and prefer a story then buy it first and pick this up when the price comes down, or if you want to play a tactical game online with your friends rather than a story driven one.

    Furthermore, the map is HUGE. Not every part of it can be a mission, but even so, there are TONS of things to do. Yes it may get repetitive after a while, but I find this with 99% of games. The Last of Us being one of the best games I've ever played, but it still had to end sometime given it being a story driven game. Of course I'll replay it, but after dozens of hours I'm sure that it would eventually get repetitive as well, but it doesn't make it a bad game.

    I'm hoping Ubisoft fix some issues like the impenetrable chain link fences (even with C4) and being spotted if you miss a shot miles away from your target, but with every negative there are several positive elements to it. Its the most fun I've had on an online game in a long time, and it's really satisfying to plan your missions with your friends, including bailing out of a helicopter to infiltrate a base, only to accidentally grenade a fuel tank and cause utter chaos and have to rethink your approach.

    Is the game perfect? No. Is the game worth £50? Probably not. Is it a fun game you can play for hours on end with your mates and almost completely forget about the problems with it? in my opinion - undoubtedly.

    I usually don't bother with reviewing games but I felt like this needed balancing out as I think an average of 5.8 doesn't seem fair given how much fun I'm having with the game.

    This is all down to opinion and personal preference, so this is me throwing in my two cents. If you're still on the fence then watch some videos online that showcase the key elements of the game and then make your mind up.    … Expand

    I have stayed away from Ubisoft games for so long from AC Brotherhood to FarCry4. They felt tedious and too much bloat, with a busy HUD and minimap. They felt cookie cutter, and very much a standard Ubisoft game.

They felt tedious and too much bloat, with a busy HUD and minimap. They felt cookie cutter, and very much a standard Ubisoft game.

    Then I tried Wildlands during a free weekend in April 2018 and boy was I surprised! It was so fun and immersive. If you don't treat it like GTA or JustCause and play it like a military simulator, my goodness, it's super satisfying.

    These are my pros of the game:
    1. Jaw dropping environmental visuals.
    2. Each location and main mission is unique. The varied settings make the game not as repetitive as I thought it would be.
    3. Gunplay is so fun! I stuck to 3-5 guns throughout the game but it makes you bond with your weapons, like a real soldier would.
    4. AI companions are great. Useful and easy to command.
    5. If you're into the drug war setting, especially shows like Narcos, you'll be immersed in this. I felt like Agent Pena and Agent Murphy the whole time!
    6. If you like roleplaying the good guy and taking down villains based on real world issues, this is the game for you.
    7. Vehicles are excellent. Driving around and taking the sighta in Bolivia is so therapeutic.
    8. Collectibles add a lot to the story, history and culture of Bolivia and brings you to places on the map where you wouldn't think to go. Worth collecting and doesn't make me feel like I wasted time. Call it virtual tourism. Definitely a huge improvement from previous experiences I had with Ubi collecathon games.
    9. Each boss you take down is unique, with their own backstories and motivation. To me, this doesn't make the game feel repetitive at all.
    10. Tier One mode is EXCELLENT! Changes the game and makes you play the way Solid Snake would. 1-2 bullets and you're dead. Finally, a realistic shooter, where I don't feel like I'm super Rambo going guns blazing and taking out an entire base on my own.
    11. Predator and Splinter Cell mission is SOOOOO GOOOOOOD.
    12. The gadgets are so fun! Gives you creative ways to finish a mission.
    13. Bottomline, if you like games like Mafia 3, shows like Narcos/13 Hours, appreciate great graphics and awesome visual settings, you'll love Wildlands.

    Cons:
    1. Enemy detection is too high when driving around. Can't drive in peace.
    2. Those missiles while flying in a chopper are SUPER ANNOYING.
    3. After 90hrs of gameplay, the music was so grating to my ears. Needs more soundtracks.
    4. Dialogue for certain actions are repetitive.
    5. Vehicle damage could be more realistic.
    6. Character models in game could be improved, but that's something for next gen open worlds.
    7. The only PS4 game I've played which had 5-10 crashes during gameplay.

    Please Ubi, now that you've won me over, please make Wildlands 2 and Splinter Cell! Until then, I will give AC Origins and FarCry5 a chance, hopefully they'll surprise me just as Wildlands did.    … Expand

Exploring Bolivia is great fun especially with little and big mountain/jungle/desert/forest hideouts all over the place. Villages and towns can be infested with lurking cartel members (or Unidad, the corrupt para-military police) and it's up to you to decide if you're going to snipe them from a distance or go in guns blazing. Each scenario is fluid, intense, but with a plethora of weapons to choose from and infinitely customize, each approach to a situation is different if you want it to be. Drone recon is wonderful, easy to use, and very helpful, as is the rebel assistance you can employ in ever-improving ways the more you progress within the game. I've nothing left to discover in this massive open world, but I find myself still playing it often, which is the sign of an iconic game in my opinion.    … Expand

    I've been playing this game for about 60 hours + now, mostly in coop mode with two friends. In that context, the game is a blast, and it has some great stuff going for it. However, like many other Ubisoft titles, I can't help but think they had an exceptional game in their hands (I dare say, something like a Spec Ops GTA) but didn't go the full length and thus created a good, fun game, butI've been playing this game for about 60 hours + now, mostly in coop mode with two friends. In that context, the game is a blast, and it has some great stuff going for it. However, like many other Ubisoft titles, I can't help but think they had an exceptional game in their hands (I dare say, something like a Spec Ops GTA) but didn't go the full length and thus created a good, fun game, but not the exceptional one it could have been. And I'm sure the devs themselves had many, many ideas to push it much farther, but likely weren't granted the chance to really nail their vision.

    Pros:
    - Nice, vast open world. I read some find it too big, but I can't see why, especially with the quite abusively numerous ways to move across the map. Boat, helicopters and such. Oh, and you can fast travel, too. *rolleyes*
    - Visually, the game is really good. Purists will have things to say but in general, the overall quality is absolutely there. Animations are usually pretty well done and the array of them is quite complete for most situations; Models are great, too (with one exception: all helmets are massively underscaled, a curious oversight). Vistas are magnificent and environments varied and credible. Great research went into the environment. The map is populated with living folks and the feel of the world is one that breaths (provided you don't look too closely :) It's not like Skyrim where everyone has some business). An exception to that is for the day/night cycle, where roads are equally populous regardless of the time of day, which gives some funky situation where you infiltrate at night only to bump into some senorita moving along a path to God knows where.
    - Gameplay wise, the game is fun and quite easy, for the most part, but once you activate the Tier One feature, it can get really tough fast. My experience in single player indicates the game works well in that context, with your AI squad mates performing above average on most tasks.
    - The story is okay for me, in this context. It's not terribly brilliant, but gets the pace of the game going, and I like those cutscenes are fun.
    - Some flexibility to the loadout. It is all purely cosmetic, but it's great to get to personalize your look, and in a coop context, it can be pretty funny.
    - The weaponsmith station is great too, with a good flexibility on what you can do, and here with some real impact on your gameplay. But you need to unlock most of the stuff. ("Hey, let's head out on this super tight clandestine ops with only 20-rounds magazines!" SAID NO SPEC OPERATORS EVER). Also, you get to unlock a bunch of unique guns you can't edit through that cool editor.

    Cons:
    - Yes, gameplay can get repetitive at time. This is not a big problem in coop, but I can imagine you get tired of playing those missions when playing solo.
    - The game is full of design shortcuts, obviously to ship it in a functionnal state. For example, if you hop on a motorcycle, then move away, your squad mates spawn at the location you traveled to. This is lame. Ammo crate absolutely everywhere to avoid traveling back to base to resupply is a big let down for me, it kills the logistic aspect of the game. Another example is the lack of possibilities to hide body. This is not cool, as there is a huge stealth component to the game (you can get busted if someone find a body, but have no way of moving it... to move around this, the devs made the body despawn after a certain amount of time. Bye immersion.
    - Some open world weirdness, like having the rebels drive casually through a base from the Cartel, with everyone armed to the teeth, and no issue whatsoever.
    - Some pretty lazy LD jobs, like having to fiddle way too long to find the proper spot to trigger marking some logistic cache for the rebels. This is just plain tedious and unnecessary. Same for padlocks on rebels cells, etc.
    - some inputs are tedious, too, like swapping through throwable explosives once you have unlocked them all. Makes for some pretty epic blunders. You should instead have some slots and you choose to equipe these with one or two items. Not all of them.

    Things I'd like to get:
    - WHY, OH WHY NO RAPPELLING FROM HELICOPTERS?
    - A realistic mode. It would be great to be able to push the realism a few notches up.
    - Some training area. Would be great to get some spot in Bolivia to hone one's skills, especially for an PC FPS shooter player like me who ventured on console for the first time. CQB and room clearing and such are a nightmare for me.
    - More markings options to coordinate gameplay between squad mates.
    - Bearings on the HUD.

    Conclusion
    Great fun game. I'm having a real blast playing this with my friends. It's far from perfect, and it will not become a classic, but if you are looking for a cool coop game to enjoy with your friends, this is a serious contender.    … Expand

    Co-op on this game is the best Co-op experience out there at the moment for this type of game. Vehicles are refreshingly usable and don't get in the way of playing the game and completing objectives. In singleplayer AI teammates do let the side down somewhat as they are prone to blundering into enemy camps as you sneak up to them. Overall though, this is a great game!

Enemies are abundant and appear to have better AI then your NPC counterparts.

    With that said, there are some minor bugs that I've noticed so far. None of which are game breaking and some are pretty hilarious. One in particular seems to occur at random when you and your Co-op team load up in a vehicle. If done in the right sequence you will notice that one of the three passengers will never appear to have entered the vehicle even though they most certainly have. When you drive away this team member will appear as being behind the vehicle running at a high rate speed to keep up with you. This also occurs in helicopters. I'm not 100% sure how to recreate the bug but it does not occur all the time.

    Nevertheless, this game is great fun and if you are a fan of open world shooters this is the right game for you.    … Expand

Ubisoft is apparently aware of this problem, but from the lack of communication i doubt they even care to optimize this anymore. The story in this ghost recon is not what you should be paying attention to. It's basically Just cause 2 but without the parachute and less health. The combat, especially "loud", is quite boring. The stealth side is ok. Vehicle physics are sometimes quite weird but nothing crazy. Helicopters' controls are horrible and the armed helis are quite useless because you can't even aim them. Graphics are nothing special, but when it rains fps tanks down to about 40, but at least it looks nice. The AI was a big problem back in beta but that's gone in the full release, but that doesn't mean there are some situations where the AIs go full retard. The new open world side of ghost recon is quite nice, but then there's the problem that exists in nearly every large open world game. So much empty space, but ubisoft managed to balance this by placing weapons, side missions and collectibles around the map. Personally i have completed the main missions (105) all alone and the conclusion was quite disappointing, but not mass effect 3 level disappointing.

    Saying that this game is repetitive is kinda like saying that witcher 3 is repetitive, because basically you do the same thing over and over - you talk to some dude, ride the horse, track the monster, kill monster, go back to the dude. What changes is the context, and Ghost Recon Wildlands is no different in that case. I wish in fact that enemy locations were little more diverse, like in MGSV, but because of the task you have to do, the enemy base layout, enemy placement, time of the day etc, even doing the same mission twice is different experience.

    This game is kinda like MGSV, but even bigger. It has great stealth and shooting mechanics, although it was clearly made in the way to focus on stealth killing, rather than open combat.

    The world design is great. It looks especially great in the distance, or from helicopter perspective. it looks like it was design based on satellite photos, or with knowledge of geology. It's beautiful, but not idealized like in most open world games. It's as pretty as pretty the nature can be. Architecture on the other hand looks bad, and interior design is horrible.

    As much as I like the 'lore' of cartel controller Bolivia, it's a wasted potential. Ending of the game has twists that shows, how cool the story could be if they put more effort into it. Rather than that, story revolves around background stories of buchones, and is just excuse for gameplay. It's not good, but it's not too stupid (for example, far cry 3 has story and dialog so stupid, that I preferred to clear camps out of bandits than progress with story).

    Gameplay is where the game really shines. If you enjoyed MGSV, you'll surely enjoy this one. In the begining I thought 'this game is cool, kinda like MGSV but worse'. Now I love it way more than MGSV.
    You can drop from a chopper, parachute into enemy location, kill the sniper on a sniping tower, recon enemy base with drone with thermovision, lure some enemies out and make sync shots. You can for example place c4 on enemy vehicles, so when buchon you want to capture will see you and try to escape, you'll destroy vehicles. The sound effect and little fog of blood when you shoot enemy make it really pleasant to kill people. You get total freedom in how you want to approach the mission. You can play sniper, rambo, or infiltrate enemy base.
    What I don't like, is that because enemy locations are mostly open-air, most of missions can be done by sniping from distance, which is the safest option. I also wish you could move the dead bodies of enemies to avoid alerting the living ones.

    The world in this game is huge. To my understanding, it's 10 times bigger than far cry 4's. Although cartel is divided into 4 branches, the game is so big, that it allows you to kill main boss after destroying just 2 of branches.
    I don't know. I hear reviewers saying that this game is good to co-op, but boring solo. I played the whole game solo, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I'd love to play it co-op on split screen with my wife, but unfortunately co-op is online only.    … Expand

Playing solo is easier to playing in coop and the game shines most whe you go for stealth, yes some tasks may seem repetitive, however soldiers do the same, it is not like you should expect karaoke, bowling and making Polish kielbasa in between. Simply getting the pawns out of the way. This game is 100x better than future soldier and yes mgs5 and the best of The Division's elements are present here as well, much to its credit.

    The scenery was nice and the Urban Warfare was fun. My only negative though is the Friendly AI in single player. they can be a bit useless at times.

    The world is hughmungus and very detailed.
    The clips in the game (files on the enemies ) are great, an achievement on their own.
    All in all, I highly recommend this game if you like to play cooperative (I have not played solo).

You can tell Ubisoft put a lot of work into this one. The writing could be better and the banter between teammates pales in comparison to dialogue you'll find in Rockstar games. Still, overall it's an excellent game. I can't understand any score lower than a 7 for this game. If you can't have fun piloting helicopters and planes and parachuting into the mountains and killing sicarios with a wide range of weaponry and exploring a huge open world of jungles and valleys and mountaintops, then you can't have fun period.… Expand

There is also a lot, and I mean A LOT, of content to be cleared so you need to mark down months of coop time to go platinum coop.

    However, while there are a lot of missions, they are also very repetitive. Especially the side missions. As a single player game, this would be about 6/10, mostly because it gets very tedious to finish everything alone. The story on itself doesn't hold up your interest enough to rush through the content to "see what happens". In fact, there is very little story or RPG elements to begin with.

    I picked up this game and played through two boss missions and still playing it as we speak. I have not jumped into Co Op but may on a harder difficultly level for more stealth like work.

    Gameplay 8/10 - The game is fun. It's a little Division like where you have to go from A and B to do C and what have you, but that's where any comparison with the Division stops. You unlock intel to obtain more skills, weapon unlocks, missions, and this is until the end game. You can choose to remain stealth or go out like Rambo, it's your choice.

    Graphics 8/10 - There are occasional hiccups in frame rate, other than that, it looks pretty smooth for a video game. I know people these days, especially the spoiled generation who has never even played a Nintendo or Sega console their whole life are expecting true realistic graphics with bullets literally coming out of the tv set, but come on.....it's a video game and the graphics are good based on that. You won't see limbs flying off, which is a little disappointing on a realistic level, but they're getting there with the blood powder spraying off their heads or body.

    AI 6/10 - Your team's AI is just plain stupid. They'll "sneak" around right in front of enemies eyes without being detected. Sometimes they won't even shoot at enemies. But they will shoot on command or if you move them to a spot, they'll move, but that's that. They offer no "intelligence" let alone artificial besides that. I think the rebels that you free offer more intelligence to be honest.

    Some of the enemy AI are quite stupid as well, but let's be honest here, they're gang bangers. What do you expect. At least it doesn't take 100 bullets to the face to kill them like The Division thank God.

    Multiplayer ??? I have not got into that yet, but probably will on a harder difficulty after my solo campaign is completed. But based on youtube videos, I got to say, it looks pretty good if you coordinate with the right team that COMMUNICATES. Can we start communicating on the headset console people? It seems people have become introverted through multiplayer as the years gone by in online gaming. I remember people used to communicate back in Socom, Halo days, etc. What happened?

    Overall, it's a great game, not perfect, but great. You'll have fun. There will be some WOW moments, but there are some moments you're like "Really?"

    Hopefully Ubisoft fixes the bugs such as AI, riding on a dirt bike everywhere and anywhere without repercussion, minor graphic tweaks, etc.

    Once they patch some of these issues, this game would be a solid 9/10.    … Expand

So for an $8 game, Ghost Recon is surprisingly good. The stealth mechanic is fun and the expansive open world setting gives you flexibility unseen in most other first person shooters. The gunplay is decent (not just relative to other FPS, but taking into account RPGs with gunplay mechanics as well) and the plot is okay as well. Character design, in my opinion, is good and as you might expect, there is zero character development. But the voice acting (and to an extent, the dialogue) is cringe-worthy and that can oftentimes break any immersion you have in the experience. There was a time when I had crashed my vehicle and the voice-actor muttered (yes, muttered) "f***ing hell". It's not what he said but rather the way he said it. Normally in games where you get cheesy dialogue, you can kind of laugh it off with your friends. Well, not in this game. The manner in which he semi-gently uttered those words just sent a cold chill down my spine. It was horrendous. And this was not a standalone event. Many of the interactions between my avatar and the NPCs cringed the hell out of me and the majority of them weren't even due to the dialogue. If only the voice actors had delivered their lines in a manner which make sense, the issue would already be half resolved. I think an analogy I would use is: the characters are saying lines you would expect to hear in a warzone but they were saying it in a public library. I have no intention of stereotyping military personnel but if you play the game, you would get what I mean. And the reason I've focused so much on the voice acting is because other aspects of this game is fine. It's not spectacular but neither is it garbage. And this pretty much sums up my experience of the game. There was never any real moments of ups and downs and this makes the game feel ordinary. I didn't feel like I had wasted my time but i never really felt like I was excited either. So my recommendation is simple: if you see it floating around for $8 or less, snap it up. It'll be a good time-filler. But at its asking price, no.… Expand

It is fun, refreshing every time, every match. Now I think I owe this game a favor so I have to write a review here.

    Ghost war is BADASS, period. I have never been so addicted to play any TPS PVP games, only this game can keep me. Ghost war is very strategical, very teamplay. There are many classes with unique abilities. Intel of enemy location never been so important like this before. The guys who came up with this modeare genius. I want people to play more of Ghost Recon. They also keep updating the game, add new maps, classes, and stuffs. Sadly, this mode was overshadowed by fair score from Singleplayer. Graphic is beautiful. Character customization is top notch.

    In sum, I would say Ghost Recon is worth the price alone for Ghost war PVP mode. For game mechanic itself I would give it a 10/10, but I deduct 1 point because of the server nowadays that takes long time to find a match, like 3-5 mins. I hope Ubisoft do something to get more new blood into the game. Ghost war is the best TPS PVP I have ever experienced.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is big. And with big games you expect the graphics to somehow be of low quality. What amazes me about this game is the world is insanely good looking. As someone who played this game on the pro and have a 4K to with HDR, this game is truly beautiful.

    The game play itself is solid, its feels a little clunky when you first begin your adventures in Bolivia but you quickly become used to it. The enemy Artificial Intelligence (AI) in this game are easily exploited, except when it comes to their field of vision. Your teammate AI are very efficient killers, so much so playing with friends makes this game quite a bit harder. The story itself isn't inspiring, but being a military game the options are quite limited as these types of games usually involve a bad guy who has done some bad things and you need to stop him.

    Initially there are concerns that this game is going to be repetitive and indeed on occasion it feels that way. But most missions allow you to approach it however you want, stealthy, guns blazing, or call in some rebels and watch them tear through a base camp. One of the truly annoying gripes I have with this game is when you call in a helicopter and it most often is near a tree or building, sometimes you even watch it slowly descend into a river at first it's quite funny, after a while Roach from the witcher 3 seems like a god.

    For some reason, for the PS4/XboxOne generation, there’s a massive shortage of tactical squad-based shooters with a campaign you can play in single player. Operation Flashpoint is nowhere to be found. ARMA hasn’t made the leap to console... and Rainbow Six went multiplayer only.

Operation Flashpoint is nowhere to be found. ARMA hasn’t made the leap to console... and Rainbow Six went multiplayer only.

    Fortunately Ghost Recon: Wildlands just about scratches that itch. You’re accompanied by 3 AI players and a drone, the latter being able to set up shots for the former to take for you. You can order your crew to a location, and call them back again. You can ask them to hold position. And then you can order them to “Fire”, which is a slightly confusing option, because if you’ve cleared a building, but you’re not sure you have... your crew will simply run off somewhere to look for trouble.

    There are a lot of similarities to the later Far Cry games (from the same publisher) here, but then some differences that throw you off. Most disconcertingly, the order/weapon wheel and throw grenade buttons are swapped around. And there’s no auto-drive feature... yet for some reason you can still climb into the passenger seats of any vehicle... and wait like a lemon, wondering why your crew aren’t joining you.

    The single-player campaign is just about sufficient. You get radio chatter filing you in on the story, but it’s all so bland, it doesn’t matter. What matters is... go to an enemy area on the map, and tackle it in the most stealthy way you can possibly manage. Get skill points, upgrade your abilities, rinse and repeat. Come to think of it... the previous Ghost Recon games as far back as I can remember didn’t really have the most amazing stories either, and didn’t suffer for it.

    A lot of people have complained that it’s boring, but even in single player, I’ve found masses of “emergent gameplay”... which, in my opinion, is the best kind of gameplay.

    And the multiplayer is just the same thing, but with your buddies. I imagine. Sadly, being a rather old autistic man, I know precisely one other person on the planet with the same taste in video games and availability to play them... and he prefers to play Far Cry 5 with me.    … Expand

    Easily one of the most engaging games I’ve played in a while, nice but simple storyline with great graphics and realistic gameplay. Never gets boring. Open map with great landscapes to explore, really keeping this game interesting. Have invested some serious hours over the past few months. Only major downsides, average A.I. and Tier mode makes the game unplayable after a specific tier.

    As a long-time fan of the Ghost Recon series - and Tom Clancy games in general - I would have been perfectly happy with a traditional Ghost Recon game, but what we got instead was a Ghost Recon game that took a few bold steps in a new direction. It would be a bit simplistic to call this game GTA Ghost Recon, but that's essentially what it is: a vast open-world to explore and take part in.

    The game features a pretty massive open-world in which you undertake various story missions, side quests, and optional objectives to try and damage a fictional (but pretty realistic) drug cartel. One of the reasons I think this game was unfairly judged by the games press is because of its politically incorrect nature; the game takes place in a real country, in a region that is and has been plagued by drugs and drug-related violence. The portrayal of this in game terms is pretty realistic, as you'll hear locals and radio station hosts talking about the cartel, various pro-cartel propaganda pieces, etc. I think the game does a good job of showing just how much control these cartels exercise over local populations and officials, even businesses (several missions involve the links between the cartel and businesses).

    I also think the game was judged harshly because military-themed games like this are not contemporarily popular, at least among game journalists. But Ghost Recon games have never been about mindless corridor-shooting, and neither is WIldlands...which brings me to my next point: the gun-play and the game systems. As with most Tom Clancy games, the guns function and sound realistically. There's also a wide variety of firearms and types, from submachine guns and assault rifles to sniper rifles and shotguns; the game gives you access to myriad types of hardware so you can tackle objectives in whatever way you see fit.

    Having the freedom to attack an outpost or base head-on, guns blazing, or stealthily taking out scouts and guards, carefully scanning the area with drones and marking enemies, is extremely fun. There are a few missions that will force you to remain undetected, but by and large, you can tackle missions, side missions, supply raids, etc. in the way you want to, and I really enjoy that about the game.

    So far, we've sunk about 60 or so hours into the game over a few weeks, and we've had an absolute blast. It's extremely fun to sneak into a base, disable a generator and release prisoners, then get spotted trying to sneak back out and trying to blast your way through the front gate. There are so many adrenaline-filled situations you'll find yourself in, whether providing suppressing fire from a helicopter or vehicle, to trying to escape an underground facility, that it's hard to understand some of the flak this game has received. While the AI certainly won't win any awards, it's hardly the worst AI I've seen in a game; enemies behave and react in a fairly realistic and consistent manner.

    Considering the staggering amount of content (from PvP to co-op and Ghost Mode and beyond) it's easy to suggest this game for anyone, veterans or new players to Ghost Recon alike, that's looking for a fun and engaging co-op shooter that never feels dull. This game is awesome and I had held off on getting it for so long because of the mediocre reviews, but I'm glad i decided to try it out for myself, because this has become one of my favorite games of this generation. I'm eagerly looking forward to the follow-up coming out later this year.    … Expand

    The gun selection was good, and it was fun switching between. But there was way too many collectibles! Way too many! Cut down the collectibles in games, or end all collectibles.
    Or, with having it co-op, at least allow collectibles collected by a friend count for everyone.
    Other than that, this was a great co-op game!
    Way better than a game like Fay Cry 5 that advertises as full co-op experience, and then doesn't even give credit to the co-op partner for completing the missions, forcing you to do it twice.    … Expand

    Noticed that if i am not detected, I can kill enemies with just 1 bullet and for some reason, when my cover is blown, enemies are suddenly harder to kill even after repeated shots to the body. head shots are always 1-shot kill which is nice. i just assumed that this game encourages you to always play on stealth mode.    i only played single player campaign mode. great environment.

    i just assumed that this game encourages you to always play on stealth mode. Careful planning of infiltration / extraction / intel gathering is the priority.

    one complaint that I have is that when the missions fails, the re-spawn location is damn far from the objective and all the enemies came back to life... it totally requires you to start all over again..

    a very enjoyable game nonetheless. love the sync-shot. ^^    … Expand

    The big variety of guns you can pick, the customisation of all guns and its accessories. The great thing I love far the most is how you unlock all those weapons, accessories and gears, of course by exploring the wonderful world of Bolivia which makes you use the open-world you have at your disposal. But with every wonder there is a danger, here you have to reach the boss of the well known Santa Blanca Cartel and capture or kill all his buchones.
    Well not every game is perfect nor this is. The story...well we can say there is none, you just do some missions in order to reach the boss of the SB Cartel. There are few little things which are weird and maybe bad balanced, but it doesn't influence your gameplay. Maybe after some time it is a little bit boring due to repetitive actions, but you can experiment a bit, try approaching every base in a different way or tactic, and I highly recommend playing cooperative, you will enjoy it for sure.

    All in all a great tactical shooter, the only bad thing that really affects the gameplay is the bad story, but I can't say I haven't enjoyed this game, because this is a wonderful game worth playing.    … Expand
