Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint (Xbox One/SX)

Die große Frage ist, warum man Ghost Recon: Breakpoint überhaupt spielen sollte – und hier fällt die Antwort schwer. Wer am liebsten alleine spielt, wird mit FarCry 5 besser bedient. Wer gerne zusammen mit Freunden ins Gefecht zieht, bekommt mit The Division 2 das rundere Gesamtpaket. Wer großen Wert auf Taktik legt, wird bei Rainbow Six: Siegeeher fündig.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a game for fans of the series. If you can look past a lot of its flaws and just want a military third-person shooter this is for you. Otherwise, you’re in no shortage of great games this fall.

Breakpoint offers initial fun following Ubisoft's open-world structure as gospel, but a lack of variety and conflicting pieces leave it devoid of personality.

There's an entertaining experience buried somewhere under the bloat and I had some fun at times in the game – I love infiltrating bases, but everything surrounding that is a pain. Maybe, just maybe, not every game needs to be open world? Maybe not every game needs a gear score? Sometimes simplicity is key.

Ubisoft's newest open-world experience struggles to deliver reliable combat and interesting things to do.

To put it bluntly, Ghost Recon Breakpoint is likely the most disappointing release of 2019.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a confused mishmash of disparate ideas that struggle to coalesce in an enjoyable way.

There's an incredible tactical shooter hidden here, but Ghost Recon Breakpoint seems to go out of its way to be deeply frustrating wherever possible.
