Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint is the Latest Ubisoft Shooter Game

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint feels like it was meant to take the open world tactical shooter fundamentals of Wildlands and expand upon them, adding new features and gameplay mechanics to make the game richer. Now you can buy Ghost Recon Breakpoint PS4 from any game retailer.

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's story missions feel unnecessarily stretched out, like most of them exist simply to extend the game's runtime or to provide equipment for players to level up their gear score (we'll get into that later). Based on my experience, if you just do the story missions in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, you'll hit somewhere between level 120 and 130 in your weapons and gear loadout. It's another example of how Breakpoint isn't a coherent match with Ghost Recon's sensibilities, which are still reflected in the way headshots function, and the trivial impact that loot has on gameplay makes the constant switching and dismantling of each piece of gear an unnecessary timesink.

You'll need your Gear Score at a certain level to undertake the deadlier content in Breakpoint, but in order to get higher-level drops you'll need to increase your level by doing quests and earning XP. It's very much a gameplan outline in the games-as-a-service model, and while it reinforces you're getting stuff done, it feels at odds with the mission statement of a traditional Ghost Recon game.

Taking down human targets can be a good time, but players looking for a bigger challenge will be saddened by the game's laughable AI. Bugs and glitches pop up on a frequent basis - some of them are apparent as you encounter seemingly blind enemies you're crouching right in front of. It's pretty clear that Ghost Recon Breakpoint needed some more time in the oven - watching NPCs' limbs get stuck in the environment and witnessing your soldier wield an invisible gun in the customization menu are evidence of that sobering fact. Still, you can find bugs in any new game and I am very sure they will be fixed soon.

There are moments where Ghost Recon Breakpoint is fun, but it feels more like a mishmash of other Ubisoft games that have done what it's aiming for better. Concerns were raised that this allowed players to bypass aspects of grinding as content could be bought as soon as the game began, as well as fears of it being pay-to-win.

Though Ghost Recon Breakpoint can be enjoyable playing with friends at times, sneakily infiltrating bases and planning out missions, and the story has been improved over Wildlands, the gameplay is overall inferior to that game, and this feels like a major step backwards for the franchise.

The gameplay itself in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is solid — most enemies go down with a single shot — the scenery is great and the story is more engaging than Wildlands (you can buy Ghost Recon Wildlands PS4 at discounted price)— but much like the rescue mission that starts the game, it all looks like a good idea on paper but just doesn't come together in the implementation.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint is now available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and  Google Stages. The game was tested on a PlayStation 4, the game was provided by BuyGames: the online store where you can buy cheap ps4 games.
