Who loves to play games here? I"m a girl most girls don't fancy games, we'd rather watch makeup, wig tutorial videos. But you know life always has its plans, I met him and now I play a few games and act as third-eye on shooting games. Games I've played include blur (i suck at car racing), FIFA 18 (the scoreline is always depressing), mortal kombat (can't remember when last I lost a fight) and a few others.
I'm about to talk about a game for which I was the third eye, "see that guy over there", "crouch", "use your grenade" and my favorite line "run!!".
It is Ghost Recon: Wildlands.
I don't know how to do a perfect review but i"ll try.
Set in Bolivia, the largest producer of cocaine and a hub of major violence. Four US soldiers rendezvous in a village with a mission to bring down the Santa Blanca cartel who is deemed responsible after a bomb goes off at the US embassy and a US agent is killed. The four elite soldiers have a contact in the CIA, who was a close friend of the killed agent and is in for revenge. Their overall aim is to get to the Santa Blanca head "El Sueno"(very very bad dude), and either kill him or take him in.

If you're a Call of Duty, Battlefield, Splinter Cell, or GTA fan, you'd definitely enjoy this game as it fuses intense shooting, stealth, tactical and an open world map. Meaning you can raid any camp by going in guns' blazing,or hiding in the bushes or mountains and carefully picking out targets one by one. Game is pretty easy considering you have three other squad members that can offer a variety of options ranging from distraction, to synced target takeout which is one of my favorites.
You've also got the rebels supporting you, as they say, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", the rebels also offer backup, distraction, scouting and even mortar fire so you can wreck as much damage as you wan from a distance. There are also a variety of vehicles, you can drive any of them, my favorite remains the armored SUV, which offers brute strength and a turret for brutal firepower.
Enemies:
Santa Blanca squad - the main enemies with different levels ranging from the average foot-soldier to the armored lieutenant with a light machine gun. Handling the foot soldiers is pretty easy, snipers too just make sure they don't sight you before you take them out, my preferred method is a bit of stealth i.e take out major threats with the sniper rifle, and then walk in majestically and take care of the rest. The only time the Santa Blanca forces prove to be a pain is when they've got the numbers, I mean how do 4 guys go against a group of 30 soldiers, but then they're US elite forces so they do it anyways.
UNIDAD Forces>> These ones are batshit crazy, Bolivia's military squad, heavily armed with sophisticated weapons, and armored suits. They are a terrible problem, you can barely drive past them in peace, within seconds they'd be chasing you even with helicopters, and they never run out of soldiers. Invading their camps is one of the hardest missions, requires tact planning and quick reflexes.
The game gets a bit draggy after a while, but its open-world what do you expect. Getting to El Sueno requires defeating his Underbosses, who in turn can be gotten to by defeating their Buchons(under Underbosses), in all it makes for an exciting game considering the availability of choice weaponry and the almost perfect environment, makes one admire the lands of Bolivia. I didn't play this game, I coached it and so I sat through every death, every restart, every cut-scene.
I'd recommend it to any action gamer.
Overall Rating 4.5
