Polygon: 6 / 10 by Noah Caldwell-Gervais
Wildlands wants to be both an ultraviolent cartoon and a grounded, ripped-from-the-headlines thriller. It can't do both, and it's much better at being silly and absurd. The mechanical experience of it is as freewheeling a sandbox as I've ever seen, but the frame, the tone and the script weigh it down like an anchor.
Game Informer: 8.3 / 10 by Matt Bertz
A game best experienced with friends, Wildlands is a surprisingly long adventure that gives players a lot of tools for tactical experimentation. Solo play is viable as well, but with by-the-books companion A.I., your strategic options are more limited
Destructoid: 2.5 / 10 by Mike Cosimano
Wildlands is a bad f***ing game -- it completely fails at everything it aspires to be. It's a bad co-op game, it's a bad shooter, it's a bad open-world game, and the writing is terrible. At best, the game is boring.
The main pros of the game
- Graphics and Environment: Many users praised the stunning graphics and the detailed, immersive open world set in Bolivia, highlighting diverse landscapes and beautiful nature.
- Gameplay Freedom: Players appreciated the freedom to approach missions in various ways (stealth, direct action, etc.), allowing for a personalized gameplay experience.
- Cooperative Play: The game shines in cooperative mode, where players can strategize and tackle missions together, enhancing the overall experience.
- Variety of Missions and Customization: Users noted the wide range of missions and the extensive weapon and character customization options available, which contribute to the game's replayability.
- Tactical Shooter Elements: The game was recognized as a solid tactical shooter that allows for realistic military tactics and strategies.
The main cons of the game
- Repetitive Missions: A common complaint was the repetitive nature of missions, with many users feeling that the gameplay became monotonous after a while.
- Poor AI: Both enemy and teammate AI received criticism for being ineffective and unrealistic, often failing to respond appropriately during missions.
- Technical Issues: Users reported various bugs, glitches, and performance issues, particularly related to loading times and connectivity problems in multiplayer mode.
- Lack of Stealth Mechanics: Many players found the stealth mechanics lacking, with issues such as the inability to hide bodies and unrealistic enemy detection.
- Ubisoft Launcher Problems: The Ubisoft launcher was frequently mentioned as a source of frustration, with slow loading times and connectivity issues impacting the overall experience.
The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users
- Better AI Mechanics: Users expressed a desire for improved AI behavior, both for teammates and enemies, to create a more immersive and realistic tactical experience.
- More Diverse Mission Types: Players wanted a greater variety of mission objectives to reduce the feeling of repetition and boredom.
- Enhanced Stealth Options: Many reviews indicated a need for better stealth mechanics, including body disposal and more effective hiding options.
- Centralized Server Support: Some users highlighted the lack of centralized servers for multiplayer, making it difficult to play with friends due to NAT issues.
- Mod Support: There were requests for mod support to enhance the gameplay experience further and address some of the game's limitations.
Summary
- Overall, while Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Wildlands has been well-received for its graphics, gameplay freedom, and cooperative elements, it also faces criticism for repetitive content, poor AI, and technical issues that detract from the overall enjoyment.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands Description
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands for PC, PS4 and XONE is another installment in an action game series that originated in 2001. The franchise is endorsed by a popular political fiction writer Tom Clancy, and it focuses on an elite American special military unit. This part was developed by Ubisoft Paris, the studio that previously co-developed Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. The game is designed for PC and the eight generation consoles.
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands takes you to Bolivia, where a powerful drug cartel called Santa Blanca spreads terror, violence, and disorder. An elite American squad is sent in to the country in order to undermine their operations and stop the cartel's shady cooperation with the corrupt government of Bolivia.
In terms of gameplay mechanics Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands on PC, PS4 and XONE makes a significant step forward in comparison to previous installments, where missions were played in a set order and closely following the script. This time around the developers gave players a vast open world that can be explored by sea, air, and land, using a wide array of vehicles, such as planes, motorbikes, boats, and helicopters. These solutions put the game closer to titles like Far Cry and Just Cause. Gameplay is entirely non-linear, and the way the story unfolds is determined by the player’s actions, which have appropriate consequences in the game’s world.
In terms of visuals, Ghost Recon: Wildlands offers a spectacular level of details. As you play, you travel across various Bolivian landscape – starting with snowy mountain peaks, through deserts, to tropical jungles and native tribal villages. Just as it was in previous games in the series, Wildlands offers both single player and co-op mode for up to four people.
