This seems to be the crux on which Wildlands' success will ride on - that being the prospect of limitless tactical options in a title that relies on unbridled cooperation between players. Now with the inclusion of vehicles, the options already made available are being even further expanded upon, and that can only be good news for those who wish to shake up their play styles to accommodate the various threats that will inhabit the game's unique setting. Everything from engaging with the enemy to extraction itself can now be determined by the player, in turn making each and every last firefight just as unique as the last. Sandbox warfare has never really been mastered on any system, so there's a lot riding on Ghost Recon's being a success. Coupled with the fact missions can be tackled from different angles much like the titles of old, countless hours of replayability are added to the product - without the need for copious amounts of DLC too.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
