‘Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands’ Review: Combination Of Previous Ubisoft Hits

"Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands" is now finally upon us and so far, Ubisoft has done a very good job in making the fans hyped for this highly anticipated game. The game has moved away from its futuristic approach where the storyline now tackles a huge Bolivian drug cartel known as Santa Blanca. An elite military force called Ghosts was sent by the US Army to take down the cartel once and for all.

For those who are familiar with Ubisoft games, the first impression for "Wildlands" would be the combined factors of the good things featured in the company's previous games. Being a massive open-world game, it hugely resembles the "Far Cry" series. The game also features a functional drone which was first introduced in the latest "Watchdogs" installment while the optional missions and collectibles are taken from the hit "Assassin's Creed" series as reported by Time.

The main objective of the game was to take out the heads of the drug group and ultimately its boss named El Sueño. The drug group is very organized and gets the top dogs, players must stir trouble in areas controlled by the cartel to draw out the boss. The players have full control over the selection of gears, character appearance, missions and the method of execution where it will be stealth or assault.

One of the new features in the gameplay is the synchronized shot in the single player mode. According to PC Gamer, players now have to option to assign a specific target to an AI companion and take two hostiles at the same time. This feature will surely come handy during stealth ops where there are numerous guards patrolling the area.

Considering the huge scope of "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands", some things are bound to go out of place and bugs cannot be helped. One of the most obvious is the AI for some of the NPCs in the game where car drivers will patiently wait for an obstacle to be removed even when there are other ways to go around it. It is also absurd seeing rebels who are walking like they're in the park after escaping from state police bases.

All in all the game is very good in terms of gameplay and the graphics. However, it is not perfect and has a lot of space for more improvements. Let us just wait and see how "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands" will fare out in the market.
