That 73 average hides a game its 120 fans would defend to the death. An adventure game, from Ubisoft leaning hard into science fiction — more about the journey than the destination. Come for the campaign, stay because your friends won't let you leave the lobby.

About this game

The story of a Vengeance, the history of a secret war. When a stolen military grade bomb takes out a Ghost squad, a new Ghost Unit must track down the source of the weapons. But the trail Kozak, Ghost Lead, Pepper and 30K follow leads around the world, into the corridors of power where rebellion and war are brewing. Soon, the Ghosts are all that stands between the world and a devastating global conflict.

Set in the near future, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier gives the storied tactical shooter series a high-tech, futuristic edge, outfitting its elite special operators with adaptive camouflage, drones, and cutting-edge weaponry. The story opens in disaster when a four-man Ghost Recon squad, dispatched to disrupt weapons trafficking in Nicaragua, is wiped out by a dirty bomb detonated remotely as they inspect an ambushed convoy. In response, Major Scott Mitchell assembles a new team of Ghosts codenamed Hunter and sends them to trace the bomb back to its source. The player leads this squad on a globe-spanning campaign, following the trail of illicit arms through Bolivia, Zambia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and beyond, rescuing informants and capturing dealers along the way. As Hunter pulls at each thread of the conspiracy, the team uncovers a shadowy network far more dangerous than a simple weapons ring, one whose ambitions threaten to ignite a wider international crisis.
