Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands vs Wasteland 2
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.
Wasteland 2
Wasteland 2 is the exciting sequel to the legendary Wasteland 1. However, unlike the text-heavy original, this new game provides an incredibly-polished, turn-based strategic gameplay that will bring to mind games like Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics. You'll also get to reprise your role as the enigmatic leader of the Desert Ranger squad and assemble a team that can handle a wide range of weapons and preferably people with personalities which you can work with. Thankfully, it's nice that the game actually lets you customize the personality traits of your squad aside from customizing their looks and their loadouts.Like the previous game, the storyline is heavily based on your decisions and the consequences that came out of these decisions, some of which may even change the lives of the characters in the game. Wasteland is also a bit more tactical than its predecessor, allowing you to tactically maim your enemies to slow them down, for example. You can even kick down or stealthily pick the lock on doors if you don't feel like going on a hunt for the key.
With so many accolades and praises under its belt, Wasteland 2 proved that an age-old franchise can be revived with critical success. inXile Entertainment and their massive Kickstarter community definitely deserved a huge pat in the back for bringing Wasteland back for the younger generation to experience.
