Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands Reviews
Ubisoft managed to create a fantastic third-person shooter with excellent story, massive open world, and a plethora of vehicles and weapons.
Ubisoft's gamble on transitioning the tactical shooter Ghost Recon: Wildlands to an open world sandbox has been a nonstop enjoyable thrill ride.
Ghost Recon Wildlands had amazing potential but its unbalanced gameplay mechanics and unnecessarily huge open world stop it from topping its fantastic predecessors.
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.
Even at the most basic level, there's simply so much to do in Wildlands because they've so carefully populated their open world with enough to do that you won't feel like you're simply walking over massive areas to get to the sporadic points of action.
An open world shooter that takes place in Bolivia, a new region that we are not used to see in videogames. It’s easy to notice this as soon as you start playing thanks to its map full of mountains that offers a small twist in the gameplay. It is also quite easy to jump in and out of online sessions making it easy to keep your own progress while advancing with others whenever you want.

One nice try by Ubisoft but lacks enought variety on its gameplay to retain players for long enought... Plus its narrative isn't as deep as we would have liked.

Overall, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a solid sandbox adventure for groups of up to four friends. In solo play, Ghost Recon: Wildlands loses a bit of its mojo, but the game's unprecedented scale and piles of content should prove euphoric for fans of open world games.
When things come together, there is enjoyment to be had in Ghost Recon: Wildlands. ... You shouldn't buy Wildlands right now.
The new game on Ghost Recon series give us a huge open world full of natural landscapes and missions to complete, unfortunately a lot of its content falls on the same repetitive formula than similar open world games. Beside that, Ghost Recon returns with a deep weapon personalization system, interesting tactic gameplay and tons of fun specially when you play it on coop.

Ghost Recon Wildlands is all over the place in terms of its quality. Some missions are frustrating, the game is not without its technical and design flaws, and its sandbox action can sometimes be repetitive, ludicrous and over-the-top. On the positive side, the game's open world is magnificent to behold, packs a vast amount of missions to keep you busy, and is simply highly entertaining to play - especially cooperatively. Don't go in expecting perfection, but if you're into shooting, sneaking, and driving, Ghost Recon Wildlands is a lot of fun.
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands is equal parts new approach to a storied franchise and familiar and well-trod open world systems. While it doesn’t break a great deal of new ground for the genre, when played with friends this cooperative open-world game can be an amazing amount of fun. Those moments are tempered by technical mishaps and inconsistencies that can be patched, but as a result, this launch ride is going to have some technical potholes that put a damper on an otherwise excellent experience.
Dropping Ghost Recon's tactical action into an open-world is certainly an intriguing prospect, but the final product isn't nearly as interesting as it should be.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands is not a perfect game, but it is outstanding when it comes to its gameplay experience and every player of action and stealth games should not miss.

In the end, Ghost Recon: Wildlands should certainly be on your list of games to check out in 2017. It's quickly becoming my favorite first-person shooter of the year, thanks to its impressive landscape, captivating storyline and fully customizable characters.
If you're looking for a really big, extravagant sandbox game that's great fun solo and hilarious in co-op, don't be shy. Wildlands isn't Ghost Recon as we know it, but it's the wildest party in town.
There's nothing necessarily wrong with the tried and tested Ubisoft formula. However, it begins to feel more tired when the narrative potential falls short, the engagement and immersion I would have otherwise felt hindered by not taking the subject matter seriously enough. However, the slick gameplay, blending of stealth mechanics with a Far Cry like world, seamless co-operative play and well-fleshed-out solo experience prove Ubisoft's teams aren't resting on their laurels and are actively trying to build upon the formula.
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.

Ghost Recon Wildlands offers a gorgeous open-world, filled with many missions you can play in coop' mode with 3 friends... but it lacks a bit of personnality and is too much repetitive to be a new reference.
