Ghost Recon Wildlands

What it’s apologizing for: The Ghost Recon franchise had a favorable, if up and down reputation until 2012, when Future Soldier was released by Ubisoft to little fanfare. The series staked its claim to fame on tactical, precise combat, and Future Soldier dumbed things down far too significantly. How it’ll do it: Ghost Recon Wildlands doesn’t look to be a return to the more nuanced gameplay of the old games, but it doesn’t have any pretensions about continuing it either. It’s clearly a more action-oriented open world shooter, one that will still try to give players plenty of avenues of attack while in the field. What Wildlands does have to make good on is the scope and scale the impressive reveal trailer is advertising.
