Scoping out a base with drones before picking off key targets with the game’s excellent sniper rifles and then going in for some stealthy tactical insertion is always a winner.
These goons come in various flavours such as snipers, drone operators, armoured heavies and comms guys who will raise the alarm if they see anything untoward.ĭesigned to be played in co-op (which is what we did for this review), these base raids represent Breakpoint‘s best moments.

You’ll run, drive and fly vast distances occasionally taking out unsuspecting men stood next to motorbikes before finding some sort of large base full of goons that you have to take out in order to reach whatever objective you’ve been given. If you played Wildlands, the previous Ghost Recon game and the first to take the series open-world, well this is more of that. That said, this is an Ubisoft game through and through and so that means a big open world, lots of missions (main, side and faction), more weapons than you can shake a Saudi arms dealer at and a lot of little icons spread over a map all shining away in the hope of tempting you away from Breakpoint’s main campaign. I mean, for sure, ex-team mate gone rogue Colonel Cole Walker is cast in that role but he’s got a bit more of a military asshole vibe rather than being some sort of colourful cult leader which is what you’d get in the Far Cry games. It’s pretty standard stuff featuring the usual tech paranoia that you’d expect but, for once, Ubisoft aren’t focusing all this on a team of lieutenants that you pick off before facing off against some charismatic psychopath. Ghost Recon Breakpoint is already getting wildly mixed reviews, thanks in part to some controversy about pay to win microtransactions, but we’ve had a chance to let the dust settle and have been plugging our way through the assorted military forces that are up to no good on the fictional island of Auroa.īreakpoint tells the story of betrayal as the totally lovable and not at all stupid scientists at Skell Technology find their totally not exploitable AI drone weaponry exploited by a paramilitary force who are looking to use their tech to control the region. We’re a little late to the Ghost Recon Breakpoint party but we’re here with our review of Ubisoft’s latest open-world ’em up and we do have a long history with this series that we owe, in some part, to this website even existing (thanks to the peerless Xbox 360 titles Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter and its tremendous sequel).
