Don't go in expecting perfection, but if you're into shooting, sneaking, and driving, Ghost Recon Wildlands is a lot of fun.

Ubisoft has pieced together yet another sprawling sandpit to explore, yet nothing stands out as truly inventive or remarkable.... Moving between provinces felt like I was checking items off a shopping list instead of spearheading the American the drug war.

Ubisoft has taken what they have learned from all of their previous titles and used it to work for their future. What may be lacking in the single player elements of the game are made up for over and over again when playing with friends.

Ultimately it's not a bad game, I kept playing and I enjoyed myself. I just question whether it really should have been made. The open world is beautiful but it doesn't set the stage for a Tom Clancy adventure, and this Tom Clancy game is too repetitive to carry an open world on it's own. The gunplay itself when you do engage is solid, and there is plenty of weapons and customization options of that armament to tailor to your own style. Its weakest moments come in between missions, as traversing the landscape by anything other than a helicopter becomes a burden. However if you have a helo, taking in the Bolivian sunset and you swoop down skimming the surface of a river is reminiscent of a modern day Apocalypse Now. That is a tremendous little moment of satisfaction, but it doesn't carry a whole game.
