Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 12, 2026)

Freedom to play a huge map your own way, alone or with friends, keeps Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Wildlands at 67.9 across 116,445 Steam reviews.

👍 Strengths

57 reviews call it a very fun power trip, and 48 praise the freedom to play with friends. Gameplay ranks 380th of 1396 and comes up in 48% of analyzed reviews. 29 praise how the map looks, the most upvoted calling it large and varied with distinct architecture and weather, and players like choosing between stealth, assault or sabotage. Some say the map design and co-op still hold up years later.

👎 Where it falls short

Tech & Support ranks 1304th of 1399. 44 reviews describe crashes and failed launches, and others report frame drops and long loading on modern hardware, blamed on outdated anti-cheat. 45 criticize the monetization, the most upvoted saying endgame rewards moved to a cash shop, and Pricing & Fairness ranks 1133rd of 1399. 32 find the core loop monotonous, and a few joke about vehicle physics that ignore gravity.
