Auroa is huge, and it’s possible to spend hours simply clearing out enemy bases and never touching the story.
I focused on the story, occasionally dipping out to hit side objectives and explore the map. Auroa is a large open world with many points of interests the player can explore in any order they want. In a lengthy story that feels like a bad Tom Clancy novel filled with buzzwords ripped from the headlines, Nomad must stop a private military corporation from using AI, drone swarms, cryptocurrency, transhumanism, and weapons of mass destruction to create a “better world.”īreakpoint plays like a third-person stealth action game similar to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain or a slower paced The Division 2. Someone shoots Nomad’s helicopters out of the air, her team crashes on Auroa, and she has hook up with the island’s locals, explore its various locales, and storm enemy strongholds to find out what’s happening. Navy cargo ship disappears off the coast of Auroa, a fictional island in the Pacific, and the brass sends Nomad to investigate. special operations soldier who works off-the-book missions. In Breakpoint, I controlled Nomad, a U.S. Every time I’d get into the flow of the game, something - a bug, poor design - would interrupt me and turn fun into frustration.
But unlike those other Ubisoft games, playing it felt like a chore that only reminded me of how much fun open world sandboxes can be when they don’t feel like work. Developed and published by Ubisoft and out now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, Breakpoint is a big open world sandbox in the style of Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and The Division 2. This is Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint, the worst video game I’ve played in 2019.
