A record-breaking beta allowed anyone who was interested in the game a chance to experience Ghost Recon: Wildlands firsthand. Now, we’ll see whether that preview was indicative of the retail release, or whether the full version packs any surprises that weren’t showcased during the beta.

The biggest takeaway from these early reviews seems to be that Wildlands puts its focus squarely on co-operative play. Most critical responses state that single player isn’t as engrossing, and many sites are holding off posting a score until there’s time for more testing with a full player base.
There certainly seems to be plenty of madcap action to enjoy in Wildlands, and a deep character customization system that ties into players’ long-term progression. However, players who enjoyed tackling previous Ghost Recon games alone might not find that much to enjoy.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on March 7, 2017.
