    A disgusting cash grab filled with battlepasses and more micro transactions that it should just have been a cell phone game because that is how it is structured

    Awful repetative shooter with the intention to take your money with microtransactions without any meaningful gameplay.

The game starts you on a helicopter going to investigate a distress signal from a random ship just of the coast of an island. Suddenly, your chopper is attacked by flying drones. Your squadron ends up being stranded on this island with only a few survivors from the helicopter crash. You quickly realize that no one can escape the island and it is your job to get search for help from a navy ship that is off the coast to do so. The best thing about this game is its stealth, you can completely take over military base’s in stealth if you desire to keep cover -perfect for the ultimate stealth experience. If you’re like me sometimes and want to go in guns-a-blazing and destroy the enemy with the best of weapons at your disposal vs being all stealth. This game is for doesn't disappoint when it comes to a large array of weapns and tons of things to destroy and conquer within. Boasting an extensive monetization system it is truly an amazing game with an extremely engaging plot there are literally hundreds of things you can buy in this game. If you want to play a nice co-op game with friends- especially since the campaign boasts up to a 4 player co-op mode. I was personally really excited for this release and it is truly amazing, there is in-app purchases so you can play with no extra cash or run with the big boys fully decked out and utilize the in game micro-transactopns. So, In conclusion this game has a very deep and captivating story with amazing gameplay that is to be expected of the Tom Clancy franchises.… Expand

Yes, yes I did. To be clear, I am not making this statement to defend Ubisoft position for sending an un-polished game into the world... but man, have I already had so much fun playing this game within the first 5 hours alone. I've always enjoyed the loop of ghost recon and the borderline arcade and semi-tacticalness of the game, its not meant to be a splinter-cell killer; its not meant to be an Arma look alike, its not meant to be anything of that matter, but a fun cooperative world with military-esk vibes and with a way more intriguing story. Yes, this game does have bugs (however not gane breaking) but annoying? Yes, but man, these are things are super undateable! and we should know this from ubisoft track-record and standard of how they handle their post-game launch updates. Rainbow six is a perfect example of this, they had a garbage launch, but now everybody and their mothers play it. And this goes to conclude that I believe this game is another title that shows not to make a choice with the dependance of other peoples opinions. If you like these things added to a game then go for it, if not, then look the other way!    … Expand

    I hate what they done to the PVP mode! It was so awesome how we could select a special class in Wild Lands. Now, everyone can be the same class, and it does not make any difference at all. Also, they put a radioactive barrier that forces you to play like any classic shooter game. This was not supposed to be a regular shooter game, this is not The Division, this is not Call of Duty.

    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. This game has such egregious and predatory micro-transactions, it makes bog standard mobile games seem inviting.    … Expand

I am going to sink some more time into it but I dont think Ill even bother getting past more than a few missions. It is a chore to play this game. Absolute garbage.

    Wow. And none of this is to do with the Beta state of the thing; it's just fifth-rate game design and a horribly compromised basic concept. There is nothing here for the singleplayer gamer at all and it's pretty easy to tell that multiplayer will be generic and vanilla. All the tedious homework building inventory and attempting to power-up your character is so intrusive and distracting from any kind of realistic core tactical combat that it makes Division 2 look like the best tac-shooter on the market. The imminent Call of Duty game could be the worst in the series and it will still be ten times as good as this lamentable, doomed mess of a game. It's really, really horrible. Wildlands was much better and that was a cartoon. I need to play a little Control now, just to remind myself what a well-designed game is    … Expand

    Bugs, bugs and more bugs. After a alpha testing, closed beta, open beta there are more bugs than good points.

They’ve forced the Ghost Recon franchise into just another game as a service business model. They’ve ruined what Ghost Recon was and has made it a confused mess. 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

It just doesn't work, it isn't fun at all. And one of the worst games I have ever played. I don't think you can do anything to this to make it better, not like a few fixes will sort it out. 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. But this is like Wildlands with somehow all the enjoyment sucked out. I don't understand how it can be this bad?… 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.
