Ghost Recon Wildlands certainly offers a challenging and satisfying multiplayer experience: the new game made by Ubisoft gives the player the chance to choose his personal approach to the missions. Wildlands is also set in an enormous and varied open world, in which we can play alone or with our friends.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands manages to offer some fun (and sometimes great) moments, thanks to the various opportunities given to the player, and the magnificence of the Bolivian landscapes. Needless to say, the game is at its best when played in coop with other three friends. There are some small - but not irrelevant - flaws that somehow ruin the overall experience. It could've been bigger, and better.

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.

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.

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.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands can provide countless hours of thrilling sandbox shooter gameplay, but co-op is needed to make the most of it. Its massive, numerous and diverse locales are often gorgeous to behold, and navigating them tactfully with a good co-op team is a blast. Just don't expect to have as much fun in single player, as your team limits your mission methods due to shaky AI and a lack of deep squad commands.

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.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands offers an incredibly expansive open-world shooter with plenty of customizations, but shines brightest when players have three friends along for the ride.

Ghost Recon Wildlands brings us to an immense open world set in Bolivia, where we can explore and make the operative proud of out Ghost Squad. Its cooperative for 4 players make it a very attractive game yet its technical section and its bugs make it not a totally satisfactory experience.

Though far from perfect, Ghost Recon Wildlands is one of the most effective franchise reboots in recent memory. It manages to build upon the key squad-based mechanics that set the series apart, while not feeling the need to pander to the established fan base. The result is a fantastically realized open world that legitimately feels like it could be a real geographic location.

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.

It's actually a little hard to believe that Ubisoft plans to expand Ghost Recon Wildlands further via post-launch content updates which will add in things like new story content and even a PvP mode since the base game is already quite massive. Shooter fans who want a game they can sink many hours into while honing their tactical shooting skills (either alone or with some friends) should be immensely satisfied with the experience Ghost Recon Wildlands provides them.

On the surface, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a standard sandbox shooter to the max. But scratch deeper, and you'll find an engaging tactical experience that gets by with a little help from your friends.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands offers an ingenious open world but unifom mission design. Who plays the game creatively in Koop, has the most fun.

With shooters and open-world titles getting a bit long in the tooth, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands manages to provide a fresh take on both genres by combining them into one cohesive package. The game can feel repetitive after long sessions and it might not satiate those who prefer the twitch mechanics of versus online shooters. For folks yearning for a cooperative campaign with friends in a large open-world playground, however, Wildlands serves up a fun experience.

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.
