This is my first Ubisoft game and I have never felt so devastated playing a single-player experience. Ghost Recon Breakpoint could have been solid, but Ubisoft completely ruined it with their online-only token system. Even if you play alone, you’re forced to stay connected to their servers. When those servers fail (and they do, often), you get disconnected mid-fight, lose progress, or can’t even launch the game. To make it worse, Ubisoft’s token handling is so fragile that I end up having to relink my PlayStation Network account over and over through their website after every disconnect. If I’m not doing that, the game just fails to connect to the Ubisoft server. I bought this game, yet it feels like I’m only renting permission from Ubisoft. If their token doesn’t sync, you’re locked out. And then there’s the AI teammate system. The orders are so limited that they have no idea whether I’m going silent or going guerrilla style. When I tried killing an annoying vehicle enemy that passed every damn minute inside an enemy base, the AI teammate decided on her own to throw a hand grenade. One single enemy... and instead of letting me take him down quietly, she blew our cover. Most of the time they spam hand grenades even when I’m standing right on the spot. I’ve died multiple times because of their stupid grenade throws. Even worse, when I give them an order to hold, they just stand right in front of an enemy instead of taking cover behind me. The AI feels clueless and destroys any sense of tactical play. A single-player game should never depend on fragile online entitlement checks, and if Ubisoft is trying to make a tactical game like this, the AI should at least be competent. Until they learn that, I can only give Breakpoint one star.

If you ever wanted to feel like the entire law enforcement of Seacrest County personally hates you, Hot Pursuit is the game. Forget “fun racing”, this is basically being bullied by AI cops with rubberband powers and infinite EMPs. Police AI = Terminator No matter how fast you drive, how clean your line is, the cops will catch up. Why? Because rubberbanding is on steroids. Doesn’t matter if you’ve got a head start, the game says “nah bro, here’s five cops for you.” EMP Spam The EMP is literally the most broken mechanic. Half the race is just “beep beep EMP lock-on” every 10 seconds. Dodge one, another spawns. It doesn’t feel tactical, it feels like harassment. Crash Replay Madness Every time you crash, the game pauses the action to show you a dramatic “slow-mo fail cam.” Instead of intensity, it just kills momentum. It’s like Criterion thought we bought this game to watch our cars explode in 360p slow motion. The Good? Yeah okay, the visuals are crisp, the sense of speed is there, and the car roster is decent. But that’s like praising the paint job on a car that doesn’t have brakes. --- Verdict Hot Pursuit is less of a racing game and more of a stress test for your patience. Between the rubberband AI, nonstop police harassment, EMP spam, and constant crash replays, it feels more like the developers designed the game to annoy you into submission. ⭐ 2/5 – Looks good, plays like trash. Fun for 15 minutes… until the cops lock onto you like the FBI in a Fast & Furious movie.
