Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands Reviews
Wildlands is a shooter with a brain. Unlike most shooters, you're rewarded for careful approaches, timed shots, and planned executions. Your drone becomes a necessary ally, just as the Rebels become a wonderful assistant to your village onslaughts. Killing civilians isn't just collateral damage, but it can actually cause a game over. It's rare for an action game where anything goes to include that sort of reminder that not everyone is the bad guy.
As a shooter, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is tactical, refined, and precise. As a world it is open, sprawling, and filled with things to do/find. And as a co-op experience, it's arguably one of the best yet.
Ubisoft managed to create a fantastic third-person shooter with excellent story, massive open world, and a plethora of vehicles and weapons.
It's a solid effort from Ubisoft. There's something for everyone and while it rarely excels at all of them, it manages to be a surprisingly engaging game. The overarching structure is overwrought and its fiction is one-sided but that means little when you're crashing helicopters into unsuspecting cartel outposts while your friends detonate copious amounts of explosives.
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands does two things brilliantly; it provides a massive game full of content, vast environments and things to do, and it also is a hell of a lot of fun as a co-op game. The tactical nature never becomes too rigid, ensuring you stay in control of how best to tackle a mission.
If we scrap the "Ghost Recon" out of the title, it makes Wildlands a bit more tolerable or at least doesn't ruin the name of the brand. Wildlands is a humongous game and this has spread the game thin, making its playability only f a couple of hours. If the game's scale in levels and design was a bit smaller and the narrative more comprehensible, the game on our hand would at least be enjoyable rather than the mess it is now. But with the giant amount of great games out there, spending 60 Dollars on GRW isn't so logical.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands is another intriguing yet incomplete experience from Ubisoft. It's fun played with friends but if you're traveling alone to vast open world of Bolivia, we recommend to finish off the El Sueno as soon as possible before Wildlands gets frustrating over time.

The collective Ubisoft studios have done a fantastic job in certain aspects of the game, but fallen well short in others. Ghost Recon Wildlands could have been much more than what it is. With some more thought going into the mission and voice scripts, this really could have been the Game of the Year in my opinion. It combines all the aspects of fan-favourite game: an open world, lots of customisation options, and the freedom to complete your task in whatever order you would like to.
Clearest example of open world's needlessness in a game. We probably would've rate it higher if it was a linear TPS or if the map was two times smaller. But for now you need to spend too much time in your vehicle to get to something interesting or fun.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands giving you open world and guns also vehicles and super charterer customization, it's a game with so many possibilities and fun factor whether you're playing it solo or in CO-OP Mode with friends, what the game lacking is the professional shooting mechanics which are more arcade than being hardcore also the repetitive mission design hurts the game in addition to bad Ai.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a fun game, only if you have friends. On the other hand, the game doesn't look like a high budget, AAA game.

Between missions there's not much to do, other than drive around a spectacularly boring Bolivia looking for more icons to kick missions off. Bolivia's actually a beautiful country, and this game probably set tourism back for the country by a couple of decades.
Despite its very inconsistent tone, lack of polish and finicky vehicles, the solid core gameplay and gorgeous open world make Ghost Recon Wildlands a highly enjoyable co-op multiplayer tactical experience.
It should be noted that there is an upgrade system in Ghost Recon: Wildlands, but it’s so incremental that you will rarely notice the difference. By the end of the game you will have unlocked the majority of the upgrades, so no real builds are necessary. In a game so focused on co-op, it would have been nice to need builds for different characters, or abilities that would drastically change the way you took each mission. But that’s not what we get here.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a bugged and flawed game, but it is capable of bringing huge amounts of fun.
Ubisoft showcases its long experience in Ghost Recon Wildland, starting with the biggest world in Ubisoft's history, the weapons/tools upgrades, the great visuals and the story that motivates you to finish the game's campagin. But on the other hand missions are repetitive and lacking, the enemy AI is questionable and vehicle controls are inaccuarate.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands is not a great nor weak game. Ubisoft created a beautiful Bolivia with detailed environment and managed to keep the tactical nature of Ghost Recon games. The result is a good game in a big and beautiful map. The Co-op mode is fantastic but weak covering system and repetitive side missions plus problems with the technical graphics, prevent the game to be a great one.

The freedom imbued in the gargantuan and beautiful world of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands' Bolivia sure makes this a worthwhile purchase, but only if you plan to enjoy it with a couple of friends, and only if willing to put up with the standard issues of most sandbox titles, like repetition, repetition, and, most importantly, repetition.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands gives you all the tools needed to have a lot of fun with friends, despite some design flaws, minor bugs, an inconsistent narrative and a somewhat repetitive structure. As a solo experience, it is solid but too big to keep you interested, and with random people it can be too chaotic to enjoy. It all comes down to how are you going to play and who are you going to play it with.
