Planet Explorers vs Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands
Planet Explorers
Planet Explorers is an exploration-driven, sci-fi-themed sandbox RPG where you play as one of the several pioneers who made it to the new planet, Maria… well, barely since you crashed landed on the planet. Here, you’ll need to work with your fellow pioneers to build a life and a colony for yourselves.This game is nothing short of amazing for a completely free-to-play title. Its crafting system is incredibly convenient for the player and despite the grind, gathering resources from the environment can be quite a relaxing endeavor, all thanks to the beautiful music and the immersive ambiance. Besides crafting and gathering materials like wood, rubber, and minerals, you can also hunt the local fauna for animal-based items like meat and animal fat which are needed to craft certain items. You can even tame these creatures and turn them into mounts!
Planet Explorers also comes with a rather nice storyline, an MMO-like questing system, sandbox features which allow you to build magnificent structures similar, in some ways, to Minecraft; and even build your own custom vehicles from scratch and take it out for a spin by driving around the massive map in this game.
Although the game seems to fall short of its potential of being a pretty darn great MMO game because the developers done messed up the codes, Planet Explorers still manages to offer a rather decent single-player experience. Plus, the game's completely free to play now and it doesn't contain any of those annoying ads or micro-transactions since the game was not built that way. Definitely worth a try!
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is the first open world Ghost Recon game and it does not disappoint! Featuring a gorgeous and expansive map of Bolivia that's actually based on the actual terrain, the game offers players a chance to not only avenge undercover DEA agent, Rick Sandoval's untimely death, but also to liberate the subjugated people there from the Santa Blanca, a massive cartel that has wrestled the control of a country through all means necessary where it has a completely free rein in.Similar to most Ghost Recon games, you'll need to tactically approach a target objective or mission be it to obtain critical and damaging information on an underboss or to help the rebels, who are your allies, to spread their call-to-arms. You'll also have a ton of tools at your disposal, ranging from drones to flashbangs to rebel support. There are even various modes of transport be it on land, on water or in the skies for you to use as you travel across picturesque landscapes.
The best part though is that being an open world game, you are free to decide how you'll want to go about completing most objectives - guns all blazing like Rambo or a more stealthier method like an assassin. In fact, you can also play this game cooperatively with up to 3 of your friends and coordinate with them through the game's chat system or quick chat options.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands has managed to completely divert the traditional game design that most Ghost Recon games are based on and from the many rave reviews, apparently this major change is very well-received by both hardcore fans and critics alike. If you enjoy Ghost Recon games or generally open world shooters like Far Cry, then you should really give this game a try.
