garbage game for 1 reason,,, Must have internet and be online to play. Ubisoft server is notorious for going dark whenever it chooses, then the game is a digital paperweight.

I don't recommend this game purely because of the absolutely ATTROCIOUS launcher that is required to go with it. The game itself is fine. Here is my experience when I redownloaded Breakpoint after not playing it for a couple of years. I download breakpoint, a game I bought on STEAM with my MONEY I launch breakpoint, a game I bought on STEAM "Sorry you cant play this because you dont have uplay installed" I MANUALLY …

I played the closed beta years ago and never picked it up, today i saw it was 3 euros, its not a very good game in all honesty but cmon 3 euros?? The game feels to "gamey" I just wanna do cool stuff in the world and be immersed, and not be constantly reminded its a game. Story telling is absolute garbage, I cannot find myself to care for any of the cringe characters, also the random npc dialogue is horrendous and …

Immersive shooter. Turn most of the HUD off for the best experience. Story is lacking, but the gameplay makes up for it. Edit: Don't dismiss the game just because its Ubisoft

56% of the 281 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Breakpoint. The complaint that keeps coming up: always-online requirement and Ubisoft server issues cause crashes. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. The game was described as "underwhelming" and "miserable", with criticism for its mechanics and mission design. Richard Wakeling of GameSpot wrote that "Breakpoint is a messy hodgepodge of disparate ideas, pulling various aspects from other Ubisoft games and shoehorning them in, half-baked and out of place [...] Its defining characteristic boils down to just how generic and stale the whole thing is." PCGamesN reviewer Gina Lees writes "Breakpoint has the habit of never fully committing to the new elements it introduces". One of the examples is the…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite my play time, I simply can't recommend this product in good faith knowing how they broke Ghost Recon: Wildlands and retroactively removed content to lock it behind paid DLC. Until Ubisoft cleans up their mess and learns how to optimize their games, and stops locking single player behind online-only EAC software that they don't update properly, I wouldn't recommend buying any of their older (or newer) games on here or any other digital platform. There's simply no guarantee you'll be able…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is unplayable because of UBI SOFT's unreliable servers that make it crash all the time . Do not waste your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid game after dev's fixed a lot of annoying things. Thumbs down because Ubisoft executives are maggots, Uplay is required to play on steam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Base game only allows you to finish episode 1, and not episode 2 and 3. Basically scamming you to pay for full price game and get half a game. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Game was good till you are surprised you cant play any further basically leaving you on a cliffhanger

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i fixed my issue. maybe i'm stupid for not trying it sooner, but in my defense i followed ubisoft's troubleshooting ideas that they kept showing other people in other negative reviews that didn't include this solution i discovered, as well as in their support channels in their discord server (which didn't work). PROBLEM: The game didn't properly load its shaders, which made the game's performance not great. FPS hitching pretty regularly because of it. SOLUTION: Go into Steam Settings >…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1. Buy it on a 90% sale, 2. Learn how to mod the game from Youtube, 3. Play one of the best 3rd person tactical shooters out there, before Ubisoft only know how to make slop. 4. Silently worry that in probably a year or two from now the game will be delisted/unplayable because Ubisoft will be bankrupt and will leave no accessible way to make the game work without access to their servers.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →HELL YEAH - Made for solo players - Super high replayability (can replay almost any mission) - Various playstyles (stealth, guns blazing. john wick) - Fully customizable gameplay experience to feel more real - Cool and satisfying CQC takedowns - A certain someone who wants to tell ya sum'in OH NOOO - Poor character customization (particularly the character appearance) - World does not feel that alive - Requires constant wifi connection even when played solo VERDICT - 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ubisoft Devs Makes Fun Games Ubisoft has this knack of developing good games with solid core gameplay mechanics, while making extremely poor executive decisions at the same time. When you purchase Breakpoint and hop in to play single player, you're signing up for the opportunity to tackle an entire nations worth of main and side missions as loudly or as quietly as you'd like. You'll literally never be at a loss for things to do since there's always a new weapon or gadget to collect, a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I won't recommend this game, even if I toiled for almost 100+ hours in this game. I finished the first Act, and never had the energy to finish the 2nd and 3rd. Map's too huge and devoid of anything interesting, and don't get me started with gear score and the need to co-op with other people just to get to the max gear score. if you don't want this feature, then gear score off, just like the experience from Wildlands. The gameplay is better than Wildlands but the story is Wildlands is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wanted to pick up this game again after a long break, but realised i had to log in to Ubisoft Connect, which i refuse to do. So done with these third party trash launchers. Uninstalled again. Remove that trash please. Dont care what requirements Ubi has to inflate their numbers, get rid of it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would Not recommend this game on a simple fault. you have to always stay online. my internet flickered for a second while i was in game fighting, and it closed the whole game. not even paused until internet reconnects. what a stupid thing to do for a person who just wants to play some single player solo adventure. i do not have any comment on any other aspect, there are better revievers out there. for a person who has given his time playing good games since his childhood. this breaks my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve put about 77 hours into Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint, and I really tried to give it a fair chance—especially because I enjoyed Wildlands. Unfortunately, this game never evolves beyond a repetitive, system-heavy loop that feels more like busywork than a meaningful tactical experience. The core issue is the mission design. Whether you’re playing the main story, side missions, or Operation Motherland, it’s the same structure over and over again: go here, talk to someone, travel across…

Once i finished on easy with bots, once on highest difficulty level with bots, once on easy difficulty without bots, and once on highest difficulty without bots. When i publishing this opinion, i finished game on highest difficulty level without bots. What is a difference between difficulty levels? Easy is more demanding, than highest difficulty. Even on easy difficulty you can die, when you starting to play, if you never played in…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even at 95% off, buying the Base/Deluxe edition feels like getting scammed by Ubisoft's DLC gatekeeping. I put 100+ hours into this game and reached Gear Level 250. While I expected Episode 2 and 3 to have limited content without DLC, Episode 1 is an absolute joke. After finishing Act 4 on a huge cliffhanger, the game locks the rest of Episode 1's story behind a paid DLC paywall. You literally can't finish the story you started without paying more. To make matters worse, the multiplayer…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game Shouldn't be always online or have anti-cheat. Especially in single player. I cannot recommend it at full price, but it is impossible not to at 95% off like it is currently.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While adding an immersive mode and exploration mode they dont rly go where they should. The immersive mode changes a lot of level systems and your UI in game. While that is nice and more fun it doesnt change the overall experience. How am i suppose to be immersed if i just open the menu 90% of the screen is the new skins and shop and missions. Press the wrong mission: Welcome to the post game mission where you have already killed the endboss or target. Try to close the map with m like in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game only holds up on the condition that you've played Wildlands and really want more a bit like that, even if it's worse. Here's my autopsy. (REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS) The good: Great graphics, better gunplay and more diverse weapon selection than Wildlands, as well as better appearance customisation. The prone camo mechanic is neat, and there are a couple of welcome improvements to the enemy AI as well, such as how they search for the player when alerted, fanning out and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is going to have to tide me over for a long time until Ubisoft makes another Ghost Recon Game in 3rd Person. Weapon Ballistics are good. Game engine & GFX are good. The amount of weapons is staggering, though getting outdated in 2026. We need another 3rd Person GR game. Looking at you Kojima Productions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended MAINLY if you're willing to dedicate some time to learning how to mod the game. I have to say, the base game itself has its strengths. I found myself wanting to take it to another level. I'd highly recommend using Priler's GRB Tweaks (Nexus mods), specifically to enable and use the integrated mod loader. This minimizes the need to repack files using Anvil Toolkit, and makes it much easier to add/remove mods modularly, rather than waiting around while repacking files and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if only wildlands had gameplay, shooting and animations like this. everything else is a MAJOR downgrade and i mean everything. only enjoyed it cause i love milsims.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite Ubisoft saying that the game is "end of life" they STILL put in a garbage program, DENUVO, to prevent cosmetic mods from actually working in this "end of life" game. At this point Ubisoft completely dissolving and losing control over the various IPs they have would be a great benefit to gaming as a whole. You also have to install their GARBAGE installer to play the game, which DEFEATS the purpose of even buying the title on Steam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I went into Ghost Recon Breakpoint without expecting too much, and honestly, I ended up having a pretty good time with it. It definitely has its problems, but there’s something really enjoyable about exploring the island, taking out enemy bases and slowly improving your character. The open world is probably one of the strongest parts of the game. Auroa is huge and has a lot of different environments, from forests and mountains to military bases and industrial areas. Exploring the map, finding…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, it's quite a terrible game once you catch that everything from progression systems to the structure of the campaign is made for that oh-so-desirable by publishers "user retention". It's designed from top to bottom to waste your time, in hopes that players will check the in-game store and buy 8 USD skins. "Deep State" expansion is alright, it's closest to the normal linear missions. But it's paid content too, so there's that. Got this game at a 90% discount and still feels like I've…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game crashes when a friendly npc uses their ability. The mission selection is a mess. Just stick to Wildlands.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Compared to Wildlands is a minus on every single front including performance. Ubisoft made strange changes from the obstructive size of the character to the most boring and tedious main mission in any single ubisoft game. If you want to play a ghost recon game go with WIldlands, if you want the best military looter shooter go with the division 2 and forget this abomination.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ghost Recon Breakpoint is one of those games that can be fun when you are in the right mood for it, but it is definitely not perfect. It is a tactical open world shooter set on Auroa, a huge island filled with drones, enemy bases, mountains, forests, and little towns. The map is big and looks good, and there is a lot of space to explore, but the gameplay can feel uneven depending on what you like. The story centers around Nomad surviving a helicopter crash and trying to stop a group of former…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't understand why you need to be online for playing single player, this is just stupid, especially when you are in the middle of a mission and suddenly the game tells you have lost the connection to Ubisoft's potato server.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its not bad, but to me it just so mid, unamusing storyline, weird animation cutscene, limited customization like hair (yes i know it can be mod but im too lazy to put it on the game) redundant clothes with different name and the worst of all you can only play this online, a liability that wildlands doesn't have, don't waste your money on this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I recommend this game, but not without some comments. With the Tom Clancy Ubisoft universe you get a quite good game that may sometimes irritate you. Movement of your character across lands are not supersmooth and some story elements seem drowned in cut scenes, sometimes motivated and sometimes not. Enemies lurk all over the place, and even in the most remote areas you will see small gangs of enemies for some reason being in a place where you do not expect them to be. Typical mission is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the worst stories In all of ghost recon games. Gameplay is good though. Almost unplayable when on vanilla.

I request a password change, and my email isn't recognized. I email Ubisoft and they tell me my email doesn't exist in their archive and close my inquiry. I try to sign in and it tells me my email is already being used. I try to sign in using my son's new email account, and Ubisoft says it already exists. My son sent a password change request.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is a prime Ubislop example. Every single Ubisoft game is 1 step forward, 2 steps back. At times it can be fun and entertaining, some new mechanics are fun. But most of new things seemed to be thrown in without any thought or design vision behind them. Like the crafting system. Or half-baked weapon level/rarity system. Was it really needed for this game? Really? Or the tactical reload - you can enable the option to loose leftover ammo when you reload a half-empty mag. Sounds good on paper.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it’s not as good as Wildlands Really hate the objective marking system. Doing side quests isn’t as fun or rewarding as in Wildlands, since you can just buy new weapons from the shop. To play the second half of the game you have to buy year one pass.. Despite all of this, the gameplay and world customization are impressive, so overall, you’ll still enjoy playing it.

This game removes everything good from wildlands and replaces it with unnecessary goofy mechanics from an arcadey game. why do I need to pick a play style? Why is there a skill tree that just adds what you should start the game with? Even in the immersion mode (playing without this mode would make this game arcadey beyond belief) its just awful and these problems persist. ai is worse, customisation is worse, the menus and hud are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm going to have a hot take here and say that this game blows Wildlands out of the water. I played this game first before hearing many people say that Wildlands is superior to this game. So I decided to buy Wildlands and see for myself, and I never really understood how you could prefer the gameplay of Wildlands to Breakpoint. Breakpoint actually ruined Wildlands for me, I would've enjoyed Wildlands way more had I not played this game first. Trying to play Wildlands is very difficult for me…

You fast travel, drive/fly, take something, fast travel, drive/fly, take it somewhere, fast travel, drive/fly and finally deliver it to someplace. You know how people mock Rockstar by saying that they just make waypoint simulators? Ubisoft said "BET" and made Ghost Recon just following random garbage around the map before wrapping it in a mediocre story and calling it a…

All the issues at launch have been fixed, the game still gets updates and support, and it is one of the best open world stealth games I played. If you see a review telling you this game is bad because it is not the same as wildlands, I ask you this, would you play a game that is the same as wildlands when wildlands already exists? I got breakpoint and wildlands together and…
