Basically Wildlands gives you that proverbial sandbox to play in. You can use the thick foliage to hide from enemies, camp out on a high cliff to snipe a fortified base, or grab a quick vehicle to make it in and out of a flatland as quickly as possible. These biomes aren’t just eye candy either, they can have a significant impact on the way you play. You’ll find large bases to raid, a plethora of vehicles to drive, and some random scenery that screams “Oh My”. Not only do you have all those objectives to complete, but exploring the whole map can be rewarding in its own right. It’s a good thing too as this game will keep you busy. But with so many things to do on the map, I’m glad Wildlands respects my time in that way. Sure, for some people it’s fun to find something on your own. It seems to be a trend these days for games to show you a general radius of where something is, while making you walk all over to pinpoint a location. It was a breath of fresh air for a game to pop markers on the map for me to waypoint to. From documents to people to interrogate, these will unlock map markers showing you the locations of any of the previously mentioned objectives. The game does throw you a bone by planting random bits of intel in each area to find. Each of these areas are packed with roughly six Santa Blanca story missions, multiple side-ops, and a load of unlockable weapon caches & collectible skill point upgrades. When you take out all the groups, you go after the big man. Things like Manufacturing, Security, etc… Take down all the bosses in a group and you’ll target the group leader.

Each area has a boss to take down and each of those bosses are separated into groups. You’ll notice right away, the map is split into about 20 different areas. It would easily take over 10 real world minutes to travel from one side of the map to the other and that would be by air I couldn’t imagine how long that would take walking. Without actually measuring myself, it has to be larger than something like Grand Theft Auto V or even this year’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Ghost Recon Wildlands’ map is the largest I’ve seen to date. Travel anywhere in this giant sandbox and do anything you’d like. It’s got the lush greens of jungles, snowy whites of the mountains, swamps, salt-flats, quarries, and caves. Ubisoft’s depiction of Bolivia in Ghost Recon Wildlands is gorgeous.
