    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

    I find this entry to the Ghost Recon series to be more comprehensive than Wildlands, however in certain areas it does try too hard without giving much back - the Gear Score system is meant to really encourage only taking on difficult areas with better gear, however this is only effectual with armor, not weapons, which is misleading.

One hopes they will polish this mechanic with further additions and *free* DLC.

    All in all in the open-world tactical shooter genre, GR is still the title to beat. I do have high hopes that added content and bug-fixing patches will resolve a lot of the current voiced problems and frustrations with the game.

    Some complain of a "pay 2 win" mechanic with the game that I haven't experienced at all - you must actually play the game in order to unlock the best content, which cannot be purchased and your character cannot be boosted for money. The MTX system is only there for those who want immediate access to elementary content in the game, such as weapon blueprints and components. The only available paid "upgrade" mechanic is for Mark 2 weapons - Mark 3 weapon parts must still be farmed.

    There are areas of the game that are currently locked and not available at release - again, something that I hope will be resolved before year-end.

    The elimination of the "Tier One" system that was in Wildlands is unfortunate, as the only related mechanic is now for faction gear and unlocks, but is not a "pride point" of achievement or encouragement to do better within the game.

    It is still a fun game, and full of a grind, so if you're looking for a quick shoot'n'loot, this is not the game for you.    … 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

    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

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.

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

    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

    I am comparing to all AAA games I have played. Breakpoint gets a 10 because while it has a few bugs, which aren't game breaking, unlike some other AAA games i have played (I'm looking at you bethesda), I love the missions, I love the open world, I love that there is so much to do and the grind to 200 gs, rank 10 in sharpshooter and assault and soon the other 2 is so enjoyable.

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

    This is pretty much what a game looks like if it was not made by responsible developers or gamers rather instead being made by some Business people in suits who is only making games to squeeze every penny possible out off the user

    Game is good, most reviews are hating on It for the microtransactions ( which it does have alot.) But the game is solid with tons of activities to do. The loot system is good. I've enjoyed my time so far with it. It's definitely a improvement over wildlands and I still have not got to the raid yet.

    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.

    Review is based off of 9 hours of PVE gameplay

    The game is at its core: Wildlands with gear score. Meaning: you cannot get one gun and run through the entire game with just that gun. This is good for me, as in Wildlands, I simply got the FAMAS and never changed my weapon. Early game can be slow and unforgiving. You are weak, and there are drones and enemy patrols who will harass you.    Review is based off of 9 hours of PVE gameplay

    Early game can be slow and unforgiving. You are weak, and there are drones and enemy patrols who will harass you. About 2 hours in you can finally get enough gear to destroy enemies who roam your way, but the real fun is looting bases around the map to gear up for the higher level areas. Missions can be bland, but enemy variety makes them interesting, unless you play cheap and hide on top of catwalks or roofs to pick them off one by onei just unlocked raids and I'm eager to see what those bring.

    There are micro transaction but, they mostly are for cosmetics or to buy yourself ahead of finding gear, which kills the fun of the looting and scooting experience.

    Few bugs here and there. Had one where I saw a floating tree, another where I apparently went into the Dev debug mode. Outside of that, nothing crazy or game breaking    … Expand

Why is it trash cause I don't care about any shooter without complete realistic setup. I want an ARMA with more features or better controls and they screwed it up.

    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.

Did you hire graphic designers that stopped advancing in their careers 10+ years ago? the constant audio and visual glitches are entirely too abundant for this caliber of game. This was marketed as the successor to Wildlands and to be honest its more along the lines of the 3rd cousin twice removed. How are the graphics worse than its predecessor? then you pull the open beta to release a game that was exactly the same. Then its as if Ubisoft is panhandling its users when we already paid for a premium game. the weapons are weak, its as if they just mashed up destiny and the division as far as gear/weapon upgrades, the "home base" is so similar to the division its offensive. 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. Dont get me started on missions...I leveled up to 100+ after 18 hours of game play. My character is strong, yet I cannot complete missions alone. They forced this into a multiplayer coop game. Why?

    I played an loved GRW a lot. GRW had it issues (e.g. really stupid/bad Ai), but it had some sort of soul. Had big hopes for GRB (AKA GRW 2.0)… but was very surprised – to say it politely – about what Ubisoft delivered: A micro transaction shop system with a simulation of a game. Holy moly.

    It's a perfect coop experience and challenging as well, you really feel being hunted many times! The map design is really great, you really see that they thought about all the tactical possibilities to sneak through a outpost for example!

    I really love the game. It looks and performs extremely well on XBox One X. The missions are fun to play and there is a lot of variety. In fact, even if you just roam the huge landscape, you pretty much always come across something to do. I also love it that the missions are more rewarding in comparison to Wildlands. I love getting new weapons and equipment.

    The only thing I don't like is the micro transactions. I wish Ubisoft would get a clue from the reviews that nobody really wants them. Just take a look at EA. Using micro transactions has pretty much ruined all gaming franchises they own. Don't follow their example! You can still turn the ship around.

With a new leveling system familiar with other Tom Clancy games fans of the series may be able to familiarize themselves in the world of Aurora. However, The packed worked does eventually feel repetitive with the Intel collection and building clearing, but the game offer an interesting mechanic that is new to the franchise; a realistic progression system has been introduced where blips and objectives are not placed on your map, and you have to figure out locations and objective markers yourself. This does give a feel of realism which is much appreciated, and gives fans of realistic shooters a game they `d appreciate.… Expand

    I would recommend ‘Breakpoint’ to gamers but not just yet. ‘Breakpoint’ has a lot of potential but still just needs a bit more tweaking before it’s perfect. That said, it is still very enjoyable for anyone who loves a story driven game with a deep back-story as its foundation.

    Ghost Recon Breakpoint on Xbox One does have a lot of ambitions and ideas, but then drowns them in a tide of nonsense and poor design. I have enjoyed the game at least in the PvE environment, as the multiplayer PvP is not very good at all. Grinding for levels, exploring, and finding missions is a great deal of fun, but the problems are never far away.

    I’ll say it, Breakpoint is broken. I think for a full retail game, it’s unpolished, underdeveloped and inexcusable for the poor choices in its development. It’s an incomplete game, and what is there is full of gameplay glitches, numerous bugs and game breaking moments that really make you wonder why you paid your money for this. Despite all of this though, I love every minute that I play. I know these issues will hopefully be addressed in upcoming patches, but for now despite all these issues, the core of Ghost Recon Breakpoint still delivers an amazingly entertaining experience. While it’s far from perfect, it’s not far from fun, and in the end, if a game is fun, then it should be played and enjoyed right?
