Weapons and upgrades are scattered throughout the game and you can customise your weapon to suit your own tastes which is satisfying, as is the ‘boss weapon’ that is unlocked upon the successful defeat of a cartel boss. The player is also allowed quite a lot of leeway in their actions which results in almost infinite combinations of play: each decision changes outcomes, sometimes slightly, sometimes quite significantly.įor example, deciding to drive out with a high-profile prisoner, rather than have them flown out by helicopter seems to be a tame decision – right until the car rolls away down the hill, taking your target with it and leaving you in apparently futile pursuit. Being able to use innovative thinking to move the game along different paths means that it is never dull or ‘samey’. The game premise remains fairly static for all twenty provinces.
Wildlands – for which the game is named – is perhaps the most fun, giving you plenty of options to use your own initiative, with the awkward terrain changing from a handicap to an advantage depending on how cunningly you think!
In the desert there is little cover to hide in, so you will have to flee from your enemies, preferably in an escape vehicle of some kind, while in the mountains you can hide and ambush your unsuspecting foes. These differing terrains are more than simple stage dressing, just as in real life, you will have to alter your way of playing in order to navigate the changing textures and challenges presented by each geographical aspect. You can explore the entire map right from the beginning, and UbiSoft’s version of Bolivia is fantastically rendered, offering a glimpse inside caves and under jungle canopies as well as taking you to deserts, salt flats, mountains, swamps and lakes and quarries. On the beta version, there was only one province for players to test out, the final version has a massive twenty provinces, each of which could be a standalone game featuring challenges that include learning and using new skills, different modes of travel, raiding fortified cartel bases, and conducting interrogations, amongst other things.Įach province contains at least one Santa Blanca Cartel boss to give you even more of a challenge. Ghost Recon: Wildlands boasts one of the largest games’ maps ever seen, giving players a huge world to explore. Ghost Recon: Wildlands for PC plays over the South American country of Bolivia, battling the Santa Blanca Cartel and destroying drug stashes as you interrogate, fight and storm your way ever closer to the defeat of the drug trade.
