    Just a terrible, disappointing turn-off. It's way more complicated and way less likeable than Wildlands. Not much is improved and many things have only gotten worse. The world is yet another modern video game open world that's lazy, worthless and detrimental to the game. Basically another open world game that would instantly benefit from being more linear instead, like in the old days.Just a terrible, disappointing turn-off.

The world is yet another modern video game open world that's lazy, worthless and detrimental to the game. Basically another open world game that would instantly benefit from being more linear instead, like in the old days. Also, no offline play. And stupid unnecessary microtransactions all over the place.

    Character creation is also worse. And every woman is intentionally fugly. And I mean intentionally, which is just wrong to do. It's a rather common problem in many western games today. Wildlands had some decent options to creare an actual female character, comparable to the good old Rainbow Six Vegas games. Now, there isn't a single decent-looking female face anymore. And some of the "female" faces are literally men. Even real life has more feminine-looking women in the army. It's gotten to the point where men genuinely look better than women. If you cannot create a proper female character anymore, what is the point of giving the option? Well, for some reason, you can give your soldier blue hair now, so that says a thing or two about the silly bunch behind this one.    … Expand

The NPC's are boring and uninteresting and yet also manage to be irritating too.

    I finally rage-quit on the final boss mission when a bunch of goons just YOLO'd straight through my continuous barrage of LMG rounds straight to my position and one-shotted me. The game respawned me in the middle of a lake 2 minutes yomp away, all for me to die again in under 20 seconds against those tanky f*cktards and their dont-give-a-f*ck bullsh*t. Sorry, no, this is not tactics, this is a lazy ass difficulty mechanism and a frustrating experience to play.

    On reflection, I should not have persevered with this game, it was as bad at the beginning as it was at the end and although i had some fun with it, the issues were always rage inducing and the whole thing reeks of being a shoddy product, pushed out the door massively over hyped and marketed.

    Ubisoft need to impress me a hella lot before I ever buy one of their games again. This is not just a bad game.. it's utterly disrespectful to push this out of the door in the state its in and expecting anything other than a complete and utter groin kick to your reputation as a game publisher is unfathomable.    … Expand

    No AI teammates 6 months after launch - they shouldn’t have been removed in the first place. This means you can’t do stuff like Sync shots anymore unless you want to use consumable “sync shot drones” which require very specific crafting materials.

    Gear levels are stupid, thank god they made it possible to get rid of this with TU2.0 recently which brings it back to how weapons worked in    No AI teammates 6 months after launch - they shouldn’t have been removed in the first place. This means you can’t do stuff like Sync shots anymore unless you want to use consumable “sync shot drones” which require very specific crafting materials.

    Gear levels are stupid, thank god they made it possible to get rid of this with TU2.0 recently which brings it back to how weapons worked in Wildlands.

    10-15FPS in the skills menu.

    Map is half covered by the mission brief unless you hide it. No way to adjust the sizing of this btw.

    Skill preview videos stutter constantly when hovering over skills.

    Character keeps on “picking up” items from the ground even when there is no item on the ground to pick up - meaning you can’t prone/aim/shoot or anything else really apart from move around.

    HUD elements are configured stupidly by default - mission brief is massive and takes up a quarter of the screen, the mini-map disappears whenever you aim, camera shake is honestly sickening and the camera is just overall too close to the player so they take up about a third of the screen. The main drone which is used to recon the area can still mark enemies just like in Wildlands, however you cannot mark enemies with the sync shot drones, this seems very counterintuitive as aiming through a gun doesn’t always give you the best/any view of said enemy that you’re trying to mark.

    The amount of micro transactions in this game is obscene. Yes the majority of them are cosmetic and don’t impact the game massively. But the fact that you can’t get a single decent top for your character without spending real life money on the game that you’ve already paid £20-£90 for is ridiculous.

    No 1080p60fps mode for Xbox One X

    Controlling the player is loose. I.e the player continues to move about 0.5 seconds after you let go of the stick (maybe more or less than that depending on input latency of your tv/monitor).

    Less choice in terms of guns in this game compared to Wildlands - guns like the G2 AR is gone and the MSR SNR is also nowhere to be found.



    On to the good in this game -

    The graphics are ok, better shadows and anti-aliasing is possible depending on which mode you use if using an Xbox One X.

    Voice acting is solid - I prefer the Wildlands voice actor for Nomad but this one does the job just fine.

    Little nods to prior games in the series such as Wildlands as well as other Ubisoft franchises like Assassins Creed and Splinter Cell.

    Story is decent enough, I like that the main boss if someone from Nomads past.

    Strong characterisation from the NPCs. All seem unique/individual.    … Expand

Even after the patches and "fixes," Breakpoint's potato graphics, tired voice acting, constant bugs, random crashes, inert camera framing, nonsensical plot devices, wonky camera angles, overcomplicated UI, generic sound design, and played-out upgrade system are Mass Effect: Andromeda levels of bad.

And I don't say that lightly. Andromeda and Breakpoint are two games that aren't inherently bad, they're just unfinished. But unlike Bioware's inexperienced new team on a hopeless deadline, Ubisoft doesn't have those excuses. They had the time, money, and resources to make this game what it should've been. "Wait for the patch!" they always say. Well, we've waited. And it's still trash. I wanted to give this game a 2 for its good stealth mechanics, but I give it a 1 because it's so far fallen from its potential. And unused potential can turn the best premises into garbage.… Expand

    The key takeaway for me is the fact that this full-priced, triple-A, live service game, is selling "time-savers". Meaning this game is placing a monetary value on playing this game less and it's admitting that it's a grindy, repetitive, time-sink of a game. Ubisoft have effectively pushed players into a pit and are selling them a ladder.

The core gameplay is dull. Impulse purchase I now regret, I sort of enjoyed Wildlands in a funny way - just didn't like the vehicle aspect.

Ghost recon was a game separate from the rest, now its just like the rest. I feel like Ubisoft owes us all a game credit, because this is absurd and offensive. then the game trailers are literally nothing, not a single thing like the actual game.

    They ruined the series. It’s always been bare bones story wise but the action was great. Now the game has been cut up into a million pieces and sold back to you through and in game store.

    It seems like Breakpoint saw the Assassin’s Creeds, the Far Cry’s, and The Divisions and decided it wanted to incorporate that into its own game. The issue is that throwing everything and the kitchen sink into the game isn’t going to make it great. They have a decent frame for Breakpoint and the feel of it is fine, but when trying to navigate the world or even the menus gives you a headache, it may be time to take a step back and think on what you need to do to make it better. The only way to play this game is with co-op friends. Single player people should avoid this one. You will be bored and frustrated within two hours. Even with some friends the issues will become bothersome, but at least you’ll have someone to complain with.
