    I didn’t get this game on launch. It was on my list for a while. I ended up getting it after playing it I could not put it down. There is so much to like about this game. It really does have a lot of detail and a very large open world. The gameplay can be very immersive highly recommended.

    For me one of the best games I’ve ever played. So many things to do in a beautiful open world with so many options. You can set the gameplay to your likings from super easy to almost real. It might have some technical issues here and there but if I have to chose only one game to play for now it would be this one.

    I love this game, but I do have some complaints. The story isn't as strong as the last two games, with it being the typical "My fellow soldier turned bad guy so I have to kill him" story. The dialogue is god awful and the characters are generic as hell. Those are my complaints.

    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.

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

    This is disappointing compared to the previous game. The game play is slow, and lags sometimes. The story isn’t as good, it is too complicated some missions, and the graphics aren’t great. The gameplay isn’t as good, but it’s still good. The story started good but didn’t really work. Don’t recommend it.

    Ghost Recon Breakpoint is not necessarily bad, but it is sad compared to Wildlands.

    The World in Breakpoint has the potential to be a great online playground, but right now it is empty. Bolivia in Wildlands was a great online playground and was filled with locations to explore and didn't feel empty. The Combat is almost the same as in Wildlands, except it is a huge grind to get the    Ghost Recon Breakpoint is not necessarily bad, but it is sad compared to Wildlands.

    The World in Breakpoint has the potential to be a great online playground, but right now it is empty. Bolivia in Wildlands was a great online playground and was filled with locations to explore and didn't feel empty.
    The Combat is almost the same as in Wildlands, except it is a huge grind to get the best weapons in the game.
    The Story in Breakpoint is non existent, the Wildlands Story certainly was not the best, but here it is even worse.
    The Graphics and Physics are obviously better in Breakpoint than in Wildlands, and in Overall Breakpoint is a better looking game.
    The Progression and Skill System are straight out of The Division 2 and AC Odyssey, while not being necessarily bad, they should not be in Ghost Recon Breakpoint.
    Walker is the best thing about the story, with outstanding performance from Jon Bernthal. The Flashbacks back to Wildlands are also pretty good, but not really well implemented.
    And now, the Microtransactions.
    There are A LOT of them in Breakpoint. Sure most of them are optional, but EVERY Aspect of the game you can think of, has Microtransactions. Sure, you can grind for them, but the Microtransactions in Breakpoint are absolutely unnecessary and there are a lot of them.
    Breakpoint's AI is alright now, but every enemy, even the toughest Bosses in the game, can be killed with only one Headshot. It makes sense, since it is a Military Shooter, BUT it simply does not feel right just beating bosses with one headshot. I would even consider Drones harder than the toughest Bosses.
    Breakpoint is much better with friends then Solo. Would I not have 2 Buddies playing along side me, I would not finish the game. But we had a lot of fun in the empty, yet beautiful Auroa World.
    But, The Grind in Breakpoint simply is not motivating. Since the Weapons and Gear barely get better with each rarity.
    The Immersive mode with no levels is for me way better than the Actual Mode, so i am gonna rate them individually.

    Verdicts:

    Ghost Recon Breakpoint Basic Mode Alone 4/10
    Ghost Recon Breakpoint Basic Mode with Friends 6/10

    Ghost Recon Breakpoint Immersive Mode Alone 6/10
    Ghost Recon Breakpoint Immersive Mode with Friends 7/10

    Game Verdict:
    A 6/10 in Overall for me.
    It is a Mashup from Ubisoft's best Ideas which work in other Games, it could totally work Breakpoint, but only if the loot gets a total rework and the toughest Enemies don't only take one shot in the head and die.
    Auroa is an awesome playground, it has got the potential of it, to be more certain. It is empty right now.
    Ultimately, the game is fun with Friends and the Immersive Mode is where i had the most fun, even with the boring story.
    But, since there are A LOT of Microtransactions in EVERY Aspect of the Game, im lowering the score to a 5/10.
    If none of your friends have Breakpoint, don't even think of buying it, unless you are dying to play a new Ghost Recon Game, even if, only for 15 dollars max.
    If you have friends who play it, get it for like 20 Dollars, since there are still issues in the Game, but it is better. And i would suggest playing in Immersive, reasons are in the review.    … Expand

    But playing this game in december 2020 this game is a blast! I played on immersive mode which I higly recommend. Immersive eliminates the fact that you have to farm to get gear and weapons you need. In immersive mode everything is just a tactical shooter how the game should be! Also I locked my camera to close view for the extra immersion and it was awesome.

    the best part of this game is offcourse getting into outpost and get the intel you need for the mission. What makes this great is the fact you can do this however the **** you want. I personally dont like stealth games but in this game that was finally a good option and the moment you **** up your stealth try everything goes gun blazing which was also pretty good in my opinion. This game was just the tactical shooter I needed to close this generation of consoles!

    So long story short: buy this game for cheap and play it in immersive mode and you will be satisfied!!

    I give it an 8 which stands for a good game which has some problems but nothing game breaking where many people can get pleasure out of.    … Expand

    The world is diverse and fun to explore. While not the most advanced, it can be beautiful at times. The semi-futuristic world based on the real world technologies we see today is an interesting and absorbing place to explore. Most structures in the vast island have realized and unique interiors, making it feel like a lived in world.

    The game play is the same Ghost Recon you can expect. Stealth, gadgets, tactics etc. The open world and deep playstyle customizations make it possible to tackle any challenge however you see fit. And the recent add off AI teammates adds to the thought process of each engagement.

    The story is forgetful. I find myself mostly progressing accidentally as I go through all the side missions in a given area. And the characters lean too much into the rah rah style of military action heroes. However the abundance of missions which are regularly updated makes this a non issue.

    A fun game with lots to do, see, and collect (although the option to remove weapon grades leaves this up to you), Breakpoint is the perfect game to pick up every now and again just for fun, without worrying about needing to relearn the story or controls    … Expand

    Loving shooters, and being a fan of wild lands, I gave it a go. Graphics are pretty good but nothing really new. Some of the features I liked about wild lands were actually removed. The newest update brought back some of those features so that's nice. Story is a bit bland. But still good for some open world action.

    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.

    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

    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.
