10 Biggest 2017 Video Games You Should Be Worried About

9. Ghost Recon Wildlands

Ghost Recon's tactical cooperative shooting is about to make a grand return in 2017. Boasting huge open areas in a giant exotic sandbox that can be tactically approached alone or with a group of friends, Wildlands is allegedly the biggest world Ubisoft has created to date.

But just like with all games that tout "endless possibilities" of tackling their levels, you should be worried about Wildlands' free-form approach to level design. While it will probably be a load of fun blasting (or stealthing) your way through with friends, so far we haven't seen anything that separates this from your average Far Cry release - or anything Ubisoft usually puts out for that matter.

Because while the company has been making strides with their competitive multiplayer offerings like Rainbow Six Siege and For Honor over the past few years, its more conventional open world experiences still continue to blend into one big mess, and I'm worried that Wildlands might be the next casualty of this increasingly stale development process.
