    Just a side note here. I do not like this game. So I may sound a little salty, but it's only because I just spent 60 bucks on this trash. I love Ubisoft and thought they have been doing a great job until now making great games without aggressive micro-ts.

So I may sound a little salty, but it's only because I just spent 60 bucks on this trash. I love Ubisoft and thought they have been doing a great job until now making great games without aggressive micro-ts. I haven't completely finished the campaign yet I admit, but considering what I have seen, roughly 8 hours in, this game is a gross step back from the mediocrity that was Wildlands. Wildlands at times was insanely repetitive and quite boring if you weren't playing with friends (let's face it the worst game in the world would be fun playing with friends) but at least Wildlands had something of a narrative, and a beautiful map as well as decent enough combat. Breakpoint's map is boring and an absolute horrible slog to travel around without a helicopter. The loot system feels like something that was tacked on at the last possible minute, and adds absolutely nothing fun to the experience. You just sold us this game a few months ago. It was called The Division 2, and that one was actually decent, a masterpiece compared to Anthem. The big baddies in this game are drones. Yes........drones. Because drones are so much more interesting than the human element in A.I. WTF is with Ubisoft's obsession with "time savers" micro-ts?

    Ubisoft: Try out this brand new shiny game for 60 bucks!!!!
    Gamer: I would love to but I don't know if I will have the time to play it!
    Ubisoft: You are in luck! Just pay us a little more and we will let you play our game less!!!!!!!!!
    Gamers: Gee Golly! Where do I sign?!?!?

    I gotta hand it to ya Ubisoft, this is genius. You were able to con 1000s of extremely stupid people out of their hard earned cash. I can't even be mad at that, just pure genius. To whoever may read my review, call me an idiot, tell me I have terrible taste, even insult my mother if you want. Just PLEASE PLEASE for the LOVE OF GOD stop buying this **** Please!!! Be a better man than I and make a FU@$ING stand against this crap. I am begging YOU!!!!    … Expand

    The addition of tiered loot, a social hub, and gear score, along with the insane amount of MTX, and the cost of them, has severely impacted both immersion, and the overall feel of the experience. This can barely be called a Ghost Recon game. It's also incredibly buggy, and often plays like a beta build, rather than what it should be: a polished, complete, smoothly-ruining product.

    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

    This game is fun with friends. But only if you keep your eyes closed and ears shut. The acted dialogue makes you cringe. The graphics are dated and game engine bugged. Go play some other game, any game, and you'll be better off.

    Let me get this straight. Ubisoft has killed Ghost Recon as a whole. Breakpoint is not only a pathetic cash grab attempt, it is also completely f*cking broken. I regret paying $60 for this mess of a game.

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

    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. There is F2P games with less monetization in it. Disgusting. I was going to pre order Watch Dogs but I’ll be avoiding all Ubisoft releases until they show some respect to their consumers.

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

Its got crafting, an unnecessary loot system and the story is beyond absurd. Everything in this game is a contradiction. It wants to be a more realistic, grittier shooter but it is not. It does things that go against that very theme. They force you into classes now in PvE. The skill tree is convoluted. The loot system is distracting and takes away from the overall experience. Did I mention bugs? Game breaking bugs. Equip new equipment and you can’t use your weapons or gear. The only way to get around it is restarting the game. You zoom in on an enemy and then your ADS stops working all together. Again the only way to get around it is restarting. Enemy AI is awful. It’s stiff and generic. Missions are broken. Sometimes you can’t even destroy enemy vehicles?? That’s just a small sample off issues. I’m not sure what happened. After spending so much time updating and fixing Wildlands they seemed to start from scratch with Breakpoint. Everything needs to be tweaked, repaired and polished. So it gets a true rating of 1 until it gets fixed.    … Expand

    J'ai adoré Wildlands et l'ai retourné de la cave au grenier avec les deux expansions qui ont suivi. Je parle du mode solo évidemment, car le coop n'a toujours été que très optionnel même si on sait que chez Ubisoft, on aime râtisser large. Une expérience très positive donc dans un monde ouvert qui mêlait infitration ou bourrinage en règle avec un brio étonnant.

    J'attendais de pied ferme    J'ai adoré Wildlands et l'ai retourné de la cave au grenier avec les deux expansions qui ont suivi. Je parle du mode solo évidemment, car le coop n'a toujours été que très optionnel même si on sait que chez Ubisoft, on aime râtisser large. Une expérience très positive donc dans un monde ouvert qui mêlait infitration ou bourrinage en règle avec un brio étonnant.

    J'attendais de pied ferme la suite, dût-elle s'appeler non pas Wildlands 2 mais "Breakpoint"... or j'ai craqué un peu trop rapidement et je m'en mords les doigts... et le reste. La bêta ouverte m'avait laissé une impression douteuse mais je me suis dit "qu'on faisait le nécessaire et bien plus chez Ubisoft Paris" mais déjà, le fait qu'on ne puisse pas jouer hors-ligne dans le jeu (supposé) final est assez dérangeant : on peut le comprendre les deux Divisions, ils -elles sont faites pour ça et c'est carrément le solo dans leur cas qui est devenu optionnel.

    Mais ici avec Breakpoint, ce n'est rien d'autre qu'un Wildlands qui s'est fait "divisionner" à la hache. Tout est pensé pour le grind, le coop et le pve/pvp à la manière à la fois de The Division mais aussi sensiblement à la façon d'un Odyssey : tout en effet possède un "niveau" là-dedans et si t"as pas le niveau; les microtransactions sont là, elles t'attendent ou plutôt elles attendent ta carte bleue avec impatience.

    En dehors de ces considérations déjà alarmantes, tout le jeu en lui-même est foireux : si la jouabilité de base et les flingues restent agréables, les menus et leur navigation sont épouvantables et tout vous rappelle comme des manouches dans le métro qu'il faut faire du coop et du multi avec vos amis kévins (si vous en avez). Un pseudo-système d'enquête (?!) consiste à cliquer sur des gros rectangles pour faire avance l'ersatz d'histoire ; un "hub" central qui ressemble à un village sert clairement de distributeur de missions pour aller farmer !

    Des bugs, il y en a également, prouvant que le jeu n'est décidément pas "fini"... des points de sauvegarde placés aux mauvais endroits, des cinématiques qu'on ne peut pas zapper. On se rend compte que les dialogues sont affligeants de nullité, brisant sans pitié tout espoir d'immersion et toute credibilité, à faire mourir de honte toutes les clancyneries passées...

    Techniquement, ce n'est pas au mieux non plus et même sur la X, les ralentissements sont remarqués et regrettables. Et tant que j'y pense, bien des missions sont ridiculement scriptées de façon à la fois aberrante et stupidement bourrine. L'espèce de survie implémentée est complètement bidon et hors sujet dans un Ghost Recon et par ailleurs, on est toujours tout seul : nos 3 équipiers de l'IA si utiles jadis dans Wildlands ont tout simplement disparu ! il paraît qu'ils reviendront plus tard dans quelques mois... quand Ubisoft aura fini le jeu.

    En conséquence de quoi, on ne peut éprouver qu'une amère et immense déception : que des merdes dans ce Ghost Recon nouveau qui se révèle imbuvable : une piquette issue de la standardisation, de la monétisation et du forçage en ligne comme dans un merdeux free to pay. Quelle honte !    … Expand

    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.
