PushStartPlay Review: Ghost Recon: Wildlands

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands offers an open world experience on a massive scale in a location that hasn’t be visited before. Ubisoft have taken the risk of taking the tactical shooter to an open-world scale comparable to Far Cry, Watch Dogs and Assassins Creed.

4.5 out of 10. The game is not that bad. I do agree that there are bugs but they are not so bad as to ruin the game in my opinion which a 4.5 would indicate. Co-op is definitely the way to play this game especially if you keep your team together and focus on be a Ghost Team taking guys out silently.
When you use the phrase "politics aside" it sounds like the idea of US soldiers killing Mexican drug dealers in Bolivia bothers you. It should bother you. Having said that the theme of the game does not make it a horrible game. Just cause you do not like the politics of it does not mean the game should be punished. Part of being a journalist is being unbiased so politics aside, the story is not that bad.
You also say it is a "standard 3rd/1st person shooter". Well, it is a 3rd person shooter and shooting people and moving on is what people expect. I get the feeling you are tired of shooters but again, the question is, is this a good shooter or not with your bias against them aside.
I think your score of 4.5 is undeserved. I would understand a 6 based on how you where unhappy with some of the glitches. For me, I would give this game a 8 when playing co-op and a 7 playing solo.

I'm not a big fan of Ubisoft but the game is far from 4.5/10, it reminds me more of SOCOM

And I thought I was the only one getting this vibe...

Bollocks. It's a very good, just not for 'forever alone' players.

While I agree with the score, the justification is plain dumb.... Also

"There are also some nice tools at your disposal, the drone being a key tool that will need to be used throughout the game if you want to keep track of enemies. The drone allows you mark enemies, giving you a massive advantage over the next infiltration. If you are playing with AI you can use the drone to mark enemies to set up sync shots, that is one positive for the AI in comparison to online players. The title is certainly one you can go all guns blazing with and can be incredibly unforgiving in some places. The world however is fantastic to look at and traveling across the terrain in helicopters, planes, and sports cars offer varied methods of getting to destinations, which keeps it fresh. The down side to this, though, is that the world in general is dull, lifeless and does not offer any “wow” moments other than the scale of the world."

Gamepass has changed everything. Phil, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for Gamepass. I just bought 50 years worth of subscription and I'm so happy.

Riiight! Thanks to GP I've discovered hundreds of indie fillers I would've never known about otherwise. Best part: team Xbox has discovered how great walking sims and interactive movies really are! And EA Play? Love me some 4 year old sports games!! Why sub up though? Just let MS auto renew that incredible $14.99 a month value. It's so easy!!

JBplusVB912d ago

Gamepass is just so amazing. Adding EA play to it brought the service to a whole nother level. Phil Spencer has the brightest mind in gaming. By far.....
