It’s been a long time since we’ve genuinely had a top-tier entry from Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon series, well, at least in my opinion. That being said, some fans believe that 2017’sTom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlandsis a severely underrated game.
The Ghost Recon series began in 2001 when it was released onPC,PlayStation2, the originalXbox, and theNintendoGameCube. Back then and for the many entries that followed, this series was very linear but tactical gameplay was paramount. Some could say that the last old-school entry in thisUbisoftseries wasTom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldierin 2012. That being said, anew Ghost Recon is reportedly in development, so hopefully that might provide the resurgence that this series needs.

Following the release ofFuture Soldier, we had a failedfree-to-playmultiplayer shooter on PC before the arrival of the topic of today’s discussion,Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. At leastaccording tothe aggregate website Metacritic,Wildlandsdid not set the world alight with critical acclaim scoring a maximum of 76.

It might also be fair to assume that despiteGhost Recon Breakpointarriving afterWildlands, it seems that the 2017 release may be tarred with the same brush used in 2019. As such,Ghost Recon Wildlandsmay be viewed upon unfavourably, which is a shame, because it’s a decent game.
“I will never understand the hate for this game,”saidRedditor Cartopcarrot730 to fellow members on the thread. “I thought this game was generally well-liked? It’sBreakpointthat gets the well-deserved hate,” replied Ivedefected. “This was a very enjoyable game! The one that came after was crap, butWildlandshad a lot going for it,” exclaimed sam_jackson84.
“I enjoyed it. Myself and friends would often make our own missions. For background, I’m ex-military and my friends always had a keen interest in it,” said Royal42Smallsy. “We’d parachute in and drop maybe 2km from it, patrol in nice and slow. Quick recce then infiltrate and set C4 on whatever we can before withdrawing and blowing it up. It made a nice change of pace and was fun to be tactical.”
