As someone who played Ghost Recon Wildlands, it's hard not to make a comparison. The games are similar, but Ubisoft have put a lot of work into making Breakpoint a deeper, and more rewarding gaming experience. The game world is rich and detailed, and packed with places to explore and things to do. Right from the get-go, the world is open to you. There are no walls or invisible barriers (except for one of the islands that seems reserved for end game activity)

Ghost Recon Breakpoint has many problems. The loot system is boring, the story isn´t that good and you don´t feel lost behind enemy lines. Anyway the gameplay is good, new mechanics like the ability to disguise and the need to tape your wounds are great. You can play it together with friends and explore the large open world.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint is an awesome time to be had...The amount of content in this game is quite insane, but it’s great for those who like to have more to do than just the linear story.

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is a tactical shooter with arcade elements that brandishes a new look, the looter-shooter. Though the game could stand on its own without that element, it at least doesn’t take away from the core gameplay.

While there is no lack of stuff to do — story missions, side quests, and faction missions, not to mention the multiplayer PvP Ghost Wars suite which is the marquee feature for many players — not all of it is engaging and most all of it has been done before and better, not only by other shooters but by other games in the Ghost Recon franchise.

Breakpoint lacks identity, combining scaled down features that were introduced in other Ubisoft games.

The Ghost Recon series is now among the many franchises that provide just that: what started with Ghost Recon Wildlands has continued in Breakpoint, an open-world tactical shooter that feels great when the bullets start flying, but slowly loses its identity the moment you're caught in this endless gameplay circuit of looting gear to “improve” your character.

Another live service game launched by Ubisoft with decent success. Although not as polished as The Division 2 and Destiny, Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a worthy competitor in a very crowded part of the videogames market.

Breakpoint as the newest version of Ghost Recon failed to defend its legacy as it should. A legacy whose effects diminish from version to version and may eventually be forgotten one day. Ubisoft is one of those companies that is trying to inject its successful gaming formula into all of its projects, but the results will not always be successful.

First of all, keep these two things in mind: Ghost Recon Breakpoint is an ONLINE game (even in PVE mode) and it brings a MEDLEY of almost every feature seen on the shooting genre. The game maintains the basis of the previous title (Wildlands): tactical shooter in an open world and brings tones of features. While doing the basics (shoot, collect, craft, manage inventory), you will also level character, class, gear, weapons, skill tree, reward system and much more. The game can be an endless adventure for some or OVERWHELMING for others. There are several SMALL BUGS that don't interfere with the gameplay but can become annoying after a few hours.

Let's get it over with: Ghost Recon Breakpoint is only half successful. If the technical side leaves us with the impression, in some ways, of an unfinished beta, what leaves the most bitterness in our mouths is the failure to dare with the survival element, which could have brought us all back to the early days of the franchise. Despite what has now been said, however, Ghost Recon Breakpoint still manages to entertain those who play it, especially if you decide to live the adventure together with other "comrades-in-arms". We're sure that Ubisoft, with the release of some corrective patches, can give its fans a very good and exciting gaming experience. However, as we write these lines, the impression is that perhaps it would have been legitimate to expect a little more.

No sequel has been a bigger cliff dive for me than Breakpoint; just go play Wildlands instead.

While it contains disappointing pay-to-win microtransactions, the game can be thoroughly enjoyed for 100+ hours if you’re the kind of person that loves to explore and take on tougher enemies.

Even when its exploration and shooting works, you'll only get some small sense of satisfaction. The only reason you're continuing is because of that "one more assault" Skinner box mentality that's in these loot-and-shoot ideas combined with open-world checklist obligations.

The biggest problem is that it fails in key factors like gunplay, with so many different mechanisms being included, that it is not easy to pick each one individually.

The optimal way of playing Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is to gather up your friends and form your own squad. I cannot stress enough how much different of a game Breakpoint is when you have friends to play with. Each Outpost is a fun new puzzle for you to figure out. As there are 4 different classes for you to choose from, You and your friends can all essentially play as different types of characters. The excitement of your team surrounding a base and figuring out the plan is the most fun part of the game. Especially as you all have your own gadgets such as drones to aid you in your systematic massacre of a small outpost.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a disappointing parade of bugs, bad ideas, and lousy writing.

Sadly, for all of those great challenges in Ghost Recon Breakpoint that are aimed directly at your skills and abilities, there are 14 more targeting your patience. The experience is only made more frustrating when you think about Wildlands, because the formula felt like it had been figured out. Everything was done right. A sequel to that game should've been an easy home run, but Breakpoint is more of an incredible misfire.

In it's core, Ghost Recon Breakpoint has a lot of potential to be a great open world game. Sadly, thanks to a list of reasons, the game doesn't deliver on that promise. The open world looks beautiful, but feels kind of empty. The new mechanics are funny, but a bit forced most of the time. Also, the list of technical problems is far longer than should be, right after launch. It just doesn't feel as polished as should be, right after launch.
