• Recommended Posted December 26, 2025 on Steam 1. Buy it on a 90% sale, 2. Learn how to mod the game from Youtube, 3. Play one of the best 3rd person tactical shooters out there, before Ubisoft only know how to make slop. 4. Silently worry that in probably a year or two from now the game will be delisted/unplayable because Ubisoft will be bankrupt and will leave no accessible way to make the game work without access to their servers.
• Not recommended Posted May 6, 2026 on Steam [h3] because this game is discontinued, has been for 3, maybe 4 years now, you as a buyer should browse the negative reviews more, specifically doing research on how this game is performing on people's systems. You should also examine Ubisoft's Discord Server, specifically their Legacy Game Support channel for this game. with no updates, comes cobwebs. this is an old game now. don't be mistaken by the steam release date, it was released back in 2019, and there is a chance that you may have to do some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ techy stuff to make this game work now, like the previous game Wildlands. This game is also ONLINE ONLY, of course. understand that this game is not being worked on, and know that without support, this game can be phased out due to software updates with Windows, GPU drivers, .NET, DirectX, new hardware and firmware, you get it. this is typical Ubisoft fashion. you can still buy the game on sale, don't get me wrong. The milsiming is fun, the campaign is genuinely mid as ♥♥♥♥, this review merely exists for your consideration, as your system may be either a-okay to play this, or not, which you'd have to suffer from crashing, or stuttering. as of may 19th, i spent days researching this topic and have seen many people online express similar issues, dating back all the way back to the game's first release, but little solutions that haven't worked for me unfortunately.[/h3] this is unrelated but it really started back in february when microflaccid released some particular KB507 windows 11 updates that were messing with the performance of my computer. and Nvidia's game ready drivers are also not great and I had to rollback to a studio driver that's more stable.* [h3] THE POINT OF THIS NEGATIVE REVIEW. [/h3] [h3] i am suffering with inconsistent micro stutters in this game and this game alone. The game also occasionally attempts to reinstall and optimize the shaders when running it in Vulkan, but it crashes about 18% of the way through. because of this, the game performs with this weird stutter and poor performance due to the shaders not correctly being installed. loading into the game through DX11 takes substantially longer, nearing 2-3 minutes before entering, compared to about 30 seconds that I was used to in the 150 hours I've played. [/h3] i know this because of testing. i have hopped into Battlefield 6 with no FPS issues, HITMAN WOA has intensive raytracing and I am completely fine, and Outlast is also buttery smooth. Outlast especially runs good, considering i run it at native 1440p w/o frame generation. But this game, has this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chinese water torture, of an FPS stutter now. Which I know wasn't a thing before, due to me having a steam clip made in december of last year, where every action I was doing was without this stutter. Launching the game in DX11 gives this stutter, and it regularly happens when looking at a direction with a lot of assets, going into first person aiming, shooting in general, interacting with a vehicle and driving, etc. Unpausing leaves a ripple effect of irritating choppiness before it stabilizes somewhat, until finally beginning to inconsistently stutter. In Vulkan, the stuttering is considerably worse. I was literally being convinced that my graphics card is dying, but remember, I played other much more intensive AAA games, and they all perform fine. As expected, with what my computer is. *[b] I have done extensive testing to see what in the ♥♥♥♥ is happening with this game. [/b] In several negative reviews, if you did the research i'm asking you to, Ubisoft generously gave a few reviewers a list of actions they can do. the instructions they gave include, but aren't limited to, - Clean boot (no background software being launched to impede on breakpoints performance, like icue, steel series, medal and overwolf, etc). - unplugging secondary devices, such as VR equipment, steering wheels, streaming equipment. - Clearing the steam and ubisoft caches in their respective apps and folder locations. - Reinstalling C++, directX, the .NET framework, and commencing a DNS flush. - Resetting the game's config files so the game rebuilds them. - Performing an SFC scan. a process which scans your computer of corrupted files. which takes many, many hours to do. not, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, fun, i chose not to do this. - Performing internet tests such as checking your NAT type, ping and packet loss tests, trace routing.** I did almost all of the above, and some unlisted things. - I cleared my steam cache, and renamed the ubisoft caches into backups so another cache file was made fresh. I also cleared my Nvidia DXcache for the first time, so ALL of my games had the opportunity to reinstall shaders and information. Battlefield 6, Hitman, Outlast, and more, run fine. This didn't change. - I reinstalled the newest Visual C++ 2015-2026 redistributable. I attempted to reinstall DirectX when the installer told me I had a better directX version, so I went no further. I tried .NETs 5, 7, 9 and 10, with no luck. I did a DNS flush too** - I rolled back to an Nvidia GPU driver dated back in December of last year, which was around the time where I made a steam clip of two cars crashing into each other and exploding, and I found that funny. The game also ran fine then. Did nothing, and I had to return forward for compatibility. - I didn't do anything in regards to my background apps, I have my Focusrite audio table which is a hard requirement, and ICUE.** - I uninstalled several Windows 11 updates as they were ♥♥♥♥ and I needed to rollback for other reasons, one of them being game compatibility, as I was having issues with file explorer and some modern AAA games. - I did a fresh install of Ubisoft connect, and uplay, and installed the game through it, plus steam. [h3] SIDES NOTES [/h3] I have Breakpoint, Steam, and Ubisoft, all on the same SSD. I typically ran at Very High graphic settings with ~5 gigs of vram being used before this ♥♥♥♥. For testing I ran the game in both DX11 and Vulkan, both vsync and FPS caps on, and off, one on and the other off, i adjusted the graphics all the way down, all the way high, I tinkered with my Nvidia Control Panel, turning on and off threaded optimization, triple buffering, increasing the shader cache size, etc. In my BIOS i reenabled the XMP profile on my motherboard for extra performance, it was disabled due to a bios update I did back in February. My game WAS modded for a time. But understand, that I have done all this testing, with a clean install of the game, several times reinstalling, ensuring that I had no modified files. These issues and tests, were discovered and conducted, in vanilla Breakpoint, after removing the mods. [b] may 19th, i wrote this the best i can, but i did write a few accidents, such as me saying that the game was using 5,000 gigs of vram. woops. again, ask questions, a lot was on my mind at the time. [/b] **[b] I shouldn't have to do these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ things by the way. [/b]Toying with my own internet settings, disabling my two background apps that i decided hell no to doing, it's actual ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. [h3] Anyway, I did all this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥, and nothing changed. [/h3] I spent this whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ day tinkering and doing everything I knew and some ♥♥♥♥ i've never thought of doing, and it didn't work. I could've hung out with family and friends or worked on my Satisfactory, but no this is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I decided to deal with, half out of fear because I thought my GPU was showing signs of failure, and half I JUST wanted to play this. Ubisoft if you find this negative review, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ just leave me alone buddy.
• Not recommended Posted June 24, 2025 on Steam Love the game. Hate the fact that it's an always online game despite being mostly single player.
• Not recommended Posted August 17, 2025 on Steam I play on Steam Deck, and I genuinely enjoyed Ghost Recon Breakpoint for what it could be. The gunplay feels great, weapon choice is plenty, and customizing them is satisfying. And running co-op campaign missions with friends can be a blast. Operation Motherland, Amber Sky, they're fun to play. But despite all that, I can’t recommend this game anymore. The biggest issue: always-online requirement. Even if you just want to play single-player. No connection? You’re stuck at the title screen. Server error in the middle of a mission? Right back to the home screen. PvP (Ghost War) is basically dead, and when you do find a match, it’s plagued with bugs like invisible characters. At its core, this game is fun and beautiful. But too bad it's Ubisoft's. And that’s the real breakpoint... #badumtss
• Not recommended Posted December 24, 2025 on Steam Base game only allows you to finish episode 1, and not episode 2 and 3. Basically scamming you to pay for full price game and get half a game. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Game was good till you are surprised you cant play any further basically leaving you on a cliffhanger
• Recommended Posted November 23, 2025 on Steam HELL YEAH - Made for solo players - Super high replayability (can replay almost any mission) - Various playstyles (stealth, guns blazing. john wick) - Fully customizable gameplay experience to feel more real - Cool and satisfying CQC takedowns - A certain someone who wants to tell ya sum'in OH NOOO - Poor character customization (particularly the character appearance) - World does not feel that alive - Requires constant wifi connection even when played solo VERDICT - 8/10
