"I wonder if March-exclamation-mark Offworld Recon was supposed to be a kind of nostalgic, backwards-thinking take on the action genre, reminiscing about the games of yesteryear where all that mattered was placing enough enemies onscreen to allow the player to shoot something in the face every three seconds. But developer HBM seems to have missed the point of its favourite classics by a few light years. It wasn't just the sheer number of baddies that led to these games' success; it was the quality of the design, the weightiness of the weapons, the layouts of the levels and a hundred other finer points that March-exclamation-mark Offworld Recon seems to completely ignore. Instead, it's completely action-by-numbers, so clumsily executed that it feels like a piece of software made by an over-zealous nine-year-old using 3D Game Maker."
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands narrowly beat PlayStation 4 exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn to become UK best-selling game for the month of March
And UK people like different kinds of games. GranTurismo and Fifa are king in europe.
A game on one platform competing this hard and toping another on 3 platforms is a really good sight. The PlayStation support is strong and much deserve, for there's no complacency and just delivering the goods.
That's saying alot because Horizon is only on one platform. Horizon sales are very good
Well done to both games, and to Zelda at #3. No small feat for such a small userbase, but the attach rate I'd imagine would be insane.
Never the less GRWL still beat it, it doesn't matter how it did the win or why, fact is it did so and deserves it for the great game it really is.
The dlc for wildlands looks ace..
I have wildlands and it's not what I would call a great game. Is it's fun with friends most def but it's a drag in sp, friends or no friends it's repetitive as hell, Bolivia has a whole is beautiful but the game does not look good everywhere else, the cover system and movement is janky,vehicles control like ass and the story is laughable. Regardless it won because of hype,it being co op and being available on three platforms compared to horizon on one yet still barely beat it out
The fact that HZD is only on one platform and GRWL is on 3 speaks volumes though.
