Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Wildlands

Most amazing game i've ever played, I get to enjoy it with my best friend as well. There is one issue though. Sam fischer. Our character meat rides him in dialogue for about 15 minutes. Just in depth meat munching, it's impressive, i genuinely think we end up taking backshots from the amount of times we suck him off. much fun though.

I'm really enjoying this game, especially co-op. I would have whole-heartedly recommended this game, except for the fact that I now randomly get BSODs while playing Wildlands. There doesn't seem to be any specific triggers, it just happens randomly when playing and I haven't had any BSODs for years except for while playing Wildlands. Had to abandon my playthroughs which I'm really bummed about.

Easily the worst Tom Clancy game to have ever been released. Just recently tried it out again and it's abysmal. The AI are about as thick as council house dwellers. Breakpoint is vastly superior compared to this.

nice big map, good combat
the only bad thing is driving vehicles

The Sam Fisher mission is so badly designed and won't stop telling me it's starting that having to try over and over and over again ruined a lot of my enjoyment.

awesome game, love the storyline and the thrill of the combat. pretty realistic and more difficult then most shooters

played it back when it game out on the ps4, liked it back then still like it now way better story then breakpoint

Wait, I didn't review this game yet?? 363h played 😅

One of the best shooters ever made. The movement is a little clunky at times, and when sniping past 700m draw distance and such things can become a bit of an issue, but everything else? Whether you like sniping, assault rifles, silent take downs or shotguns, every type of shooter can find his role in this game.

Story 9/10
Tactical aspects 10/10
Landscape, scenery, day / night and weather 10/10 (beats GTA5 in my opinion)
Vehicles 9/10 (handling and selection not as good as GTA5, but this game follows that one closely).
Skydiving 9/10
Game modes 7/10 (could use more multiplayer game modes)
Bullet drop / wind 9/10 (there is bullet drop when sniping, no wind. Could be more realistic, but this game offers a great balance between realism and fun. Want realism? Get Ghost Warrior Contracts 1 and 2)
Graphics (good for it's time, holds up well enough to this day).

Recommended to be played with friends in coop or in survival. Solo can also be a fun challenge, and there is a hard core game mode, which sounds like a great challenge I could still go back to complete (tried a few times, with no hud or drones, constantly died in the first region 😅

Seriously, this game ranks in my top 10 of all times, and I've been collecting games for over 20 years!

Love the open world. the game play remind me of farcry 3 some how.

wildlands crushes the open world design, and i love an open world. feels free and focused at the same time, makes for a lot of fun that never seems to get repetitive.

Good Game !

Great -> Good -> OK -> Bad -> Do not buy !

One of the worst games I've ever played. Its so stupid it sometimes physically hurts to play it. So....

NEGATIVES

Extremely linear :
Its open world with multiple districts, you can choose anytime to go wherever, but all the missions are the same. Go here and kill him. Go there and follow him. Go here and destroy this. Go there and bring that. GO waaaay over there and talk to that guy. Thats about it. Becomes really boring and repetitve after like first 3 or 4 districts out of like 10 or 13.

Difficulty progresion:
The good 'ol stupid and absolutely annoying - The enemy you used to kill in like 2 or 3 hits ? He can now take 7 shots and still walk. You used to take like 8 shots. Now you get killed in 2. Enemies used to spot you if you actually ran directly in fron of them and from couple meters. Now god forbid that half a centimetre of your barrel stuck out from cover for longer than a milisecond, because the guy is spotting you from 100 meters away. While he is behind a f*cking wall. Where used to be like 10 enemies, now there is 30, half of them heavies, and suddenly insted of 1 helicopter every couple encounters, now a pack of 4 hunts you every 2 minutes. Late game isnt harder. Its more annoying and broken. Some missions almsot unplayable, you gonna have to try multiple times and hope for more luck, not skill.

Transport:
The map is like 25 km2, its huge. Half of the time you spend driving or flying. So only god knows why the driving model is absolutely shit. PUBG has better driving than this piece of crap. Sensibility is really weird, instead of slighty turning you end up in the field next to you. Flying is kinda ok, but you have to get use to it a bit. Vehicles are pletiful, but sometimes you need to get it faster, so there is a mechanic where friendly rebel force will spawn a vehicle for you close by. Why the "close by" means inside the enemy camp you are trying to avoid and is 300 meters away is a mystery to me. Absolute shit. Another example - Im on an island and wanna spawn a heli. It spawns on the mainland. thx i guess...

Gun play:
By the lore, you are a USA special unit trying to eliminate a drug cartel. Why you control recoil like a potato farmer is a good question.
The fact that you are supposed to be a special soldiers clearing a country overrun by drug cartel, the feel is really arcady.

AI:
Consider your AI rest of the squad as mobile revivers in case you do actually get downed, Not as usefull soldiers. There are 5 enemies rushing you from the camp you are trying to take, but your guys decide to take interest in the one guy 100 meters away, in different direction, in a car, that just happens to be passing by to buy milk. Lame. Order widget wheel is a bit janky to work with.

The story:
Its absolutely pathetic. Such a Hollywood bunch of nonsense. They just jam down your throat american propaganda. "Look at us, we are special forces, we can do whatever we want we will take down entire countries". Dialog lines are EXTREMELY cringe worthy and lame and pathetic. Somebody dreamed of being a CIA agent their whole life but ended up only writing about one. It ruins the whole experience and cut scenes are something you do NOT look forward to. Cuz in order to kinda keep up with the story, you shouldnt really skip them, but you REALLY wish you could.


Now, some POSITIVES are in order as well.

Weapon and clothes:
There is a huge number of guns and customisation choices. I spent multiple hours just playing with different outfits and gun set-ups. Majority of them quite nicely done and modeled Some a bit cliche...

The map:
The scenery is, dare I say, beautiful. Exploring the map feels really good, just looking around, visiting various location and finding out the history fo the country. I recommend taking the time to explore those random places, with no enemies, but with notes of info. The map is quite diverse as well, as you have jungle, salt flats, mountains and river lowlands, it call for different tactics. Nice reason to have multiple outfits and gun specs according to what biom you go to.


SUMMARY:

Overall the game has a really cool idea. Open world on a huge beautiful map, with plethora of guns and clothes, and millions of mission and points of interest scattered all over the place.

Gaming wise, the mechanics are so badly done, unfinished / unpolished and broken, that playing it is sometimes actually stressfull.

I definitely would NOT buy it for the full price. I spent 10 euroes and for that I think its quite ok.

Will I buy another Ghost recon game ? Most probably not, cuz I dont like arcade nonsense and even tho that I do know about the studio's reputation, I was expecting a little bit more profesionaly done game.

4.5-5/10

[h3]A huge open world, landscapes from jungles to mountains and deserts. You can freely explore these territories. Each mission can be completed in different ways. An extensive system of improvements for weapons, equipment and characters.

3 Playtroughs, I can safely say, get ready for worst stealth/loud ever and terrible mission design, who thought it was a good idea to make a stealth only mission where you have to steal a whole ass helicopter when you get spotted trough walls and miles away

just one of good game, if u search for gameplay

Great game but infuriating the PS Dual shock 4 support is patchy at best. This is not an uncommon controller and we shouldn't have to rely on a community controller profile to get it work (partially). Issue is right stick does not respond with ANY other input from the controller. So no camera control/aiming/helicopter turning etc whilst anything else is happening. PLEASE FIX, you'd hope this would be a quick and simple patch for such a big publisher like Ubisoft. Look after your customer base please. Until then I cannot say i would recommend this game, which is sad as it's fun!

Dogshit. I shouldn't have to become an entry level network engineer to play your game with my friend. Fix it ubishit
Basic gameplay is shit too. .308's can't kill in 1-2 shots at 200 meters?
Enemies move to my position a full km out when I shot with a suppressor? Really?
Sniper rifles aren't better than battle rifles? Really?
My 9mm SMG has the recoil of a 7.62x39?
A headshot past 500m is not a kill? Cmon, it's Ubislop stay clear

Wanted a shooter with deep weapon customization, this came up in a few lists so I got it, but it turns out the customizations are through microtransactions. Plus it ran like a** and crashed within 10 minutes of starting a mission, just panning the camera around. Refunded.

It's a fun blend of realism and arcade, the graphics look good and I haven't had any performance issues or bugs.
On the downside I think I started with the best guns, every time I unlocked something new the stats were worse. I've changed a couple of times but didn't notice much difference.
There are some things that I could climb in real life and I'm a pc gamer, but this fully trained army guy can't?
Also the third person seems to prefer the guy's left shoulder and I have to keep switching to his right. Sometimes useful but most of the time just feels icky.

Awesome game on console, completely broken on PC. The servers do not work at all if you're trying to connect with a friend, and launching the game has me waiting on the splash screen for 5 minutes on every startup.

the game was so fun it has good gameplay with open world map style

also the fallen ghost dlc was also fun even thou it is much harder than the based games but challenging

A massive highly re-playable gorgeous co-optional open world (stealth?) experience

• So big.
  
• Excellent story.
  
• Varied environments
  
• Range of uniquely performing weaponry
  
• Multitude of gameplay / mission completion options.
  
• Can take as long or as short as you want to finish
  
• Cool hidden stuff.
  
[*] BASE jumpiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!

Overall, one of my most favourite gaming experiences. Highly recommended both solo and if you can find a friend who isnt a gung-ho looney!

The gameplay is very sweet and the story line just keeps on tacking my attension.

I own this game on Steam and on Ubisoft connect, so don't let my hours fool you.

Anyways, Wildlands is a piss boring attempt at an open world action game, somehow failing worse than even more recent Far Cry titles like Far Cry 6. The game's progression can be described with 2 words: Bland and repetitive. Anything you do, you do constantly and none of it is at all interesting. The story is "who cares?", the graphics are "who cares?", the gameplay is Ubisoft and the progression is awful and just consists of running around, doing this and that and levelling up the most lame skills possible. Such skills include and are not limited to: Silent Running, More Damage, More Ammo, Less Aim Sway, Squad Mates Taking More Damage, Smarter Squad AI, and much much more and more boring.

I can only recommend this game if you plan on playing with friends because it seriously is just LAME. If you like Phantom Pain and want more, I suppose that too, but even then there's the Sniper Elite games which have better progression AND stealth.

TLDR: A true master of none

It's easy to get lost in the game but in a good way because there's always a new adventure to find

F*** Ubisoft. They shut down the game servers for Splinter Cell: Blacklist, one among a huge list of other games. No longer have access to all coop & multiplayer content. Boycotting

"Get Comfortable With Not Owning Games" - Ubisoft

This is the best co-op shooter game I have ever played. I wasn't sure about buying it but I am glad my friend recommended me. Even in solo, playing with AI teammates is so much fun. The story is good but the main attraction of the game is stealth and teamwork. So, go for the standard edition. I am glad I did not buy the higher editions or DLCs.

good game. Solo is enjoyable but also playing with friends is extremely fun.

Very underrated game, even in 2024. I'm sure it was very buggy and got a bad rep at launch but this is a hidden gem.

GTA + Mercenaries

Very open ended, you can get very creative with how you accomplish objectives. 9/10

It's a fun game with friends, my first experience of Ghost Recon, but personally, there needs to be a new Splinter Cell

Wildlands is a solid 6.8 out of 10 tactical shooter, if it's even fair to call it "tactical".

It's got it's issues, such as a few bugs, questionable mission design, an incredibly lackluster story that can be hard to follow, along with little to nothing in terms of characters.

Despite all of that, I still have a ton of fun with this game and even prefer it over the more recently released Breakpoint, though perhaps there's slight nostalgic bias on my part.

If you're looking for a mindless stealth experience that you can almost shut your brain off for, this one is your game. It's even better if you can get a group of four going — if the servers let you.

Got it for a great deal. The gameplay sometimes feels repetitive especially if you only play campaign like me. But overall, I like it. Good game to play on my free time

It's Farcry 3+, but lighter on the story line, and with a basic but helpful team mechanic. Fun for solo or group play. High Five!

Great tactical shooter but if you also want to pvp it's not for you cuz online servers are dead

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands really disappointed me. The graphics feel outdated and poorly optimized, with performance issues even on decent systems. Driving vehicles is a nightmare—clunky physics make it frustrating to get around, whether it's cars or helicopters. Overall, the game lacks polish, and the experience just doesn't feel satisfying.

Great open world game, lots of objectives to complete and places to explore.

So many bosses to fight. You definitely get your moneys worth. Got it on special. Good game. Even better with mods.

The game is entertaining and the amount of things to do, weapons, vehicles, etc., would normally keep me busy for a while. Unfortunately, the pervasive controller glitching upset me to the point of uninstalling it and not recommending it to anyone else. It's been years with no fix on the horizon. Sad.

provides vast environments and tactical co-op missions but can feel repetitive after extended play.

I like this game, in fact I played it and put maybe like 70+ hours in at release. Great time, but the ubisoft launcher never working, getting kicked out of the game when I get an issue with the internet and the sheer amount of petty anti consumerness of modern day ubisoft makes me say, no. Pirate it and play it DRM free, Ubisoft is hard to look at now in days. Like your favorite uncle from your childhood hooked on fentynal. Just sad sorry state and Ubisoft IP's deserve more love and care then this company cares to even attempt. This is a great game though just a bitch to play with all the extra bullshit.

After primarily playing this game on the PS4, just played my first PC play through. This version is sooooooo much better than the console version. What is better about this version, you ask? Detail at distance, and much better frame rate. Nothing like seeing a mountain top to snipe off of only to have trees show up out of nowhere on the console version, PC version does not suffer from that problem.

This game isn't bad but holy shit are the npcs fucking stupid, don't rely on them and don't even waste your skill points on their tree.

this is the one and, as of writting, only game i have bought twice early on after release spending nearly $200 in total. i enjoyed the special events and nods to films from my younger years. the cross over missions with Ubisofts other titles is also interesting. the world is so vast and yet does not feel empty in the slightest. There are frustrations with certain mechanics but they do eventually become less of a pain to deal with and the gun play can be quite fast paced.

With the context of Breakpoint releasing and ubisoft showing that they learned nothing from the the initial updates for Wildlands makes me believe that for the casual solo player this may be the last good game for ghost recon Ubisoft has released or may ever release. enjoy it before it goes away! especially on sale!

8/10 gameplay,open world, nice coop game, story 7/10, UBISOFT CONNECT 0/10 servers are horrible but it its a 2017 game would recommend with friends, kick back and rlx.

Very open world map! lots to do! Just wish it was even more open!

Damn, to see the alternative ending it made me replay that pain-in-the-ass mission. Loved the game overall—grindy, but the ending mission was great. The story was solid, and the AI buddies were awesome. Loved it

Just finished the game and I enjoyed it very much:
- the world design is amazing - I know very little of of Bolivia but it did feel like a real live place. Very diverse and immersive I think.
- graphics - there is some scenery shit (combined with weather and day/night cycle) and if you have a good display, like an oled it looks dope
- the premise - fighting sicarios and narc cartels is my cup of tea
- missions are fine and plenty, story is okayish but they could've made the missions much more interesting, for example, in such a big world they could've made some missions reveal with clues instead of pointing you directly on the map - I'd feel much more engaged if I had to figure out clues and play a little bit of detective, searching for something in the world
- dialog is cheesy but bearable
- game play provides a very good balance of arcade and realism imho (you can turn on/off some features in the settings to lean one way or the other).
- AI on enemies isn't great but they move around enough and do different things depending on threat level to surprise you a lot of times. The aiming of enemies is broken in sense that they hit you from surprising distance/angles. Sometimes it feels like they literally roll a dice if they should hit you or not, instead of taking into account various things. Enemy AI sees through thick grass/bushes (when in combat) and doesn't feel realistic.

I played solo but I think the game would be way more fun with friends in coop as team AI is dumb as potato.

I'd say solid 9/10.

The BEST pve military game.... EVER!
Amazing Graphics!!!
Fantastic character creation!
Pretty Cool Combat!
It has a MSQ, side missions for extra experience, things to collect in the zones and a mini-cartel-boss per each zone. zone completion is a must for the rewards. Tons of things to do. I cranked the difficulty up to max, as the game feels like it requires it for the realism and intensity.
Highly Recommended!

This was such a fun concept in theory and I feel they pulled it off pretty well. It mashes the tactical nature of the first games while implementing the GR Future Soldier gameplay core. And it works like a charm. I had a huge gripe with the gameplay of GR FS, its movement and lack of any requirement of tactical thinking even in the highest difficulty. I am happy to say, this game solves those parts.

The story is pretty simple, set in a fictional setting of the real state of Bolivia. However, the execution of the story is done very well with mature themes intertwined with them sparingly, but effectively. Considering the huge amount of bosses this game has, and the limited time we get to meet them (mostly when we shoot them in the head or capture them) - most of them are pretty well fleshed out. The gameplay is well intertwined with the story and even if one doesn't take in the lore, the nature of the missions within each of the bosses' territory effectively manages to tell you a lot about your adversary. We don't have a Vaas or a Pagan Min in our hands here, but those games have a tendency to become boring in gameplay within the first playthrough itself.

And that brings us into the gameplay. And I have to say, GR FS walked so this could run. The core gameplay is the same. 4 soldiers, not directly controlled - only controlled through in game commands. But this works much better in this open world setting, especially since they did fix the movement and did away with the forced cover-to-cover sprint movement. Each fight is tactical and somehow felt fresh right up to El Sueno. This is facilitated by the variety of environments which forces you to switch tactics. Some has thick foliage that make sneaking up a bit easy and sometimes you are in a nigh barren wasteland where you cautiously avoid open spaces. The gameplay is significantly different during the day as compared to that during the night as well. It really gives a feeling that the world is alive - only broken by the respawning of enemies (a necessary evil).

This is the best Ubisoft exploration experience among all that I've played. Each collectible has a reason to exist and the dynamical gameplay make the process not feel repetitive at all. Moreover, the exploration is adequately accentuated by well spaced side-missions that, although similar in set-pieces - never feel overbearing.

I am actually pretty impressed with this game and feel this game really went below a lot of our radars when it came out. Play it. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

IMPORTANT: However, the does still suffers from a lot of optimisation issues that can really ruin the experience for you especially during Ghost mode runs.

I obviously would've given it a higher score, but with the optimization issues and lack of Steam achievements:
6.5/10

Yeah, I recommend it, if you feel like waiting ten minutes between every menu. This game takes forever to load every screen. I finally selected a game mode, and then backed out of it to try a different one and the game CTDed on me. It then re-started on it's own. Wacky thing. No wonder it was on sale.
