I absolutely loved Wildlands, but Breakpoint feels almost like a downgrade.
TLDR : Still a fun stealth tactical shooter, but a lot of issues. Play wildlands instead if you haven't already.
THE GOOD
+ Revamped stealth mechanics mean you can ambush enemies then disappear into the shadows. A big improvement over wildlands.
+ still a solid 3rd person shooter. Guns handle and sound good.
+ Decent graphics/ animations
+ Same open world freedom and choose your own missions
+ Piecing the story together bit by bit is rewarding and intriguing.
THE BAD
- New grindy loot system makes finding your favorite weapons meaningless.
- The drone enemies are either way too fast and hard to shoot or just massive bullet sponges.
- Very little ambient life on the island. Enemies outnumber civilians so you get the constant tension of being behind enemy lines with no time to relax.
- Bugs, unskippable cutscenes in 2020?!?
- Skill tree is filled with boring passive bonuses. Very low impact on gameplay.
