For Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Ubisoft is dropping players onto the fictional island of Auroa, a sandbox checklist of various locations that are perfect for a squad of hairy black ops soldiers to engage in a bit of the ol’ Rambo LARP. You’ve got rainforests, snowy mountains and even a freakin’ volcano to navigate around. Pretty diverse terrain, which happens to be populated with killer attack drones that have zero empathy and ethical safeguards thanks to inventor Jace Skell not having to worry about pesky government regulations.

The Wildlands do shine here when you stop to smell the coca leaves. Combined with the weather effects and a gameplay narrative that tasks you with actually exploring the country, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is one of the best environments I’ve ever stepped into. And I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of exploring it.

On the surface, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a standard sandbox shooter to the max. But scratch deeper, and you’ll find an engaging tactical experience that gets by with a little help from your friends.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands is back, and its latest trailer wants to remind you just how good it looked at E3 last year
