Synopsis:

Experience the next generation of PC multiplayer shooters with Tom Clancys Ghost Recon Phantoms. Step into the boots of an elite Ghost and deploy cutting-edge weapons and technology as you link up with your squad to dominate your enemies on tomorrows battlefield. (Courtesy of Steam)


Gameplay:

When I went into playing this game I expected something bad considering it is a F2P shooters which usually have annoying micro transactions or a Pay to Win. What I got was something way different, Even though there was alot of micro transactions and all of the weapons could be bought with money I didn't feel like I was at a disadvantage like I usually do when playing these type games. The game was really well balanced and No weapon is to OP (with some exceptions). But other than that I found in generally pretty easy to play and earn kills without having to worry about someone who spent hundreds of dollars on weapons and Armour being completely unstoppable. Though I was disappointed as the game didn't run as smooth as I wished It did. I would find myself experiencing Chunky gameplay when going into heavy firefights and I felt like the character was didn't move like he was suppose to. I also found that when entering cover you camera automatically switched when you looked in the other directions (EX if I looked left the camera perspective shifted to the left side of the character and vice versa) and when exiting cover it would not revert to the original orientation and I found this quite annoying as this game is pretty strange/Difficult to play from the left POV and I feel like this POV is completely unnecessary and Is very obstructive when It comes to the game. Also even though the game was fun I still find that it is under developed and still has quite a few bugs within the net-code (Collisions with other players, Bullets getting you while in cover, ETC...) But I feel as if they worked it out to a playable point compared to the original beta. However I do enjoy the mechanics of GRP I find that the multiplayer in this game was better evolved and constructed then its predecessors. Like before theres 3 classes, But I enjoy the amount of depth you can go into customization wise of the characters and the different type armors you can equip (Except for the fact you can buy them), I also enjoy the abilities system that was added into the game and enjoy how it provides new ways to play competitively, as a team, assaulting, and or defending, The system IMO is very well developed but some Abilities are a little to good and some are extremely underdeveloped. I am however disappointed with the lack of game modes, as I believe 3 is simply just not enough for a game such as this. I found after a few hours this game can become quite frustrating/boring due to gameplay issues and lack of game mode content. (Conquest, Holdout, and Onslaught). However the gameplay was quite pleasing and surprising to me even though it is a F2P and It was really enjoyable at times.


Graphics:

Besides being surprised by the excellent gameplay I was also surprised when seeing the graphics. I found the visual ascetics of the game was very smooth and pleasing (though the enviroments/buidlings/Roads are not properly made and feel like someone just drew straight lines with a ruler, what I mean by this is that the edges are straight instead of rounded). The textures are also nice and clean and very very well detailed and are a huge improvement over the Beta's (the lighting also had a large overhaul.) I also found that the characters were also very well developed and created, and surprisingly found them very ascetically appealing. Though my only issue with the graphics is how glossy/Cartoony look many of the models,Characters, Maps, Weapons, and ETC appear to have. It gives items the look like they were developed for a completely different game and don't belong in GRP. I also found the lack of Matte color a downside as well. However to sum up the graphics, I found them very well made and detailed, Excellent Meshes, but they where just a little to glossy in my opinion and kinda put me off, and at the same time distinguished this game as a F2P compared to a $60 AAA.

Controls:

Im kinda mixed opinion when it comes down to the controls. I feel like they are the proper controls and they work well at the same time feeling some of them are incorrectly binded and should be something else. For example if you were in cover (you enter by pressing Space) instead of climbing/vaulting over it by pressing space, you have to press E. I find this very awkward and it feels Unnatural to me. I feel it should be the same button used to enter cover. This was probably the main control that I did not like as it was quite annoying especially when I continuously had the urge to press the [Space] Key. Other than that the game has the basic controls of FPS/3rd Person shooter and is pretty basic. I wish how ever there was a control to switch the POV because as of now I feel the only way you can do this is by going into cover and either looking out to the right or out to the left. This also annoys me very much as this game in my opinion is unplayable from the Left POV. I find the controls simple but strange at sometimes and you have any experience playing shooters on pc you shouldn't have to much of a hard time adapting to this game. So basically if you ok at COD or another Ghost Recons you should be perfectly 'Ok' when playing this game for the first time.


Personal feedback:

Personally this game was fun, it was enjoyable for a while until I began getting frustrated with the net code and continually dying. I also find the lack of health to be annoying as well. But for a F2P this game was quite enjoyable to play and gave me the feel of a genuine AAA game. which brings me to my final point, Its disappointing that this is a F2P (I see F2Ps as the beginning of the end for Developers and publishers) as I felt like this game should of had a campaign and a full proper release. The game would be a great and well made $60 title, but the fact its F2P is quite upsetting in my opinion. But I an assure you if this game was a $60 title I would have given it a better rating.


Gameplay: 6.8/10
Graphics: 8.2/10
Controls: 6.0/10 (Those few controls that I mentioned really ruined the experience)
Overall Rating: 7.3/10

Your review of this game literally made me want to play it as I had never heard of it until your review.

I did some digging on Google and found videos, gameplay, and information and it made me really want to play this game.

The trailer looks B.A. as well:

It was a great game and I still enjoy playing it. But I feel like it would of been alot better if they put work into it and made it a Normal $60 game instead of a f2p
