Look, we've all been there. A big game's on the horizon (God of War) and you're a bit scared of starting something new before launch in case you don't get it finished in time. Perfectly natural. So you're just looking for something that's not too involved. Maybe you can grind away the hours on Monster Hunter: World? Not a bad idea. Or perhaps you could get a few mates together and have a laugh on Ghost Recon: Wildlands?
Ubisoft's open world shooter is free to download and play right now on PlayStation 4, and yes, that's the entire base game, including the player-versus-player stuff. Access ends on Monday morning, so you've got the full weekend to get stuck in, and honestly, we'd recommend it.
Admittedly Wildlands isn't anything amazing by itself, but gather up a friend or two and the co-op can be great fun. Well worth a look if you haven't played it before. Oh, and you don't need PlayStation Plus, either.
Think you might give Wildlands a shot? Empty your clip in the comments section below.

It's really boring, though.
I don't play online and have no gamer friends. Is this still worth a purchase (it's £21.99 on the PS store)? I played the beta or demo when it came out and it seemed OK but not sure about it.
@tomassi Alone I think it's a little boring. Pretty standard Ubisoft open world stuff, clearing map markers and that kind of thing. Game definitely shines brighter in co-op.
At £21.99 you're getting a lot of content, but like I say, it can become boring if you're not with friends. Could give this free trial a go and see if it hooks you?
@ShogunRok yeah I may do. To be honest, I've got so many games stacked up, I can't be doing with another that is going to get boring quick, so will probably just give it a miss and buy it in a year or two when it's about a tenner!!
@tomassi Yeah £10 is a good spot for Wildlands, I'd probably recommend it at that price.
Have put hundreds of hours into the division but just couldn't get into this for whatever reason. Maybe will check it out again to see if it gets its hooks in me.
I might download it just for the Predator. I'll probably turn it off as soon as I hear those drums or its woodpecking noise, though.
Over here. Turn around. HUAHUAHUA. Anytime!
The storyline was rather cliché, like all Clancy games, but certainly not bad if you are in a nostalgic early-90's-action-movie mood. I really enjoyed the gameplay though; it was fun tactical Ghost Recon stuff.
I completed the base game when it came out but the Gold edition is now in the sale for £34, that’s a £51 saving (I’m basing this from the Xbox Store) if it wasn’t for me finishing the base game I’d buy it at £34 but just recently got Gold editions of The Division and Watch Dogs 2 both for under £25 and would of therefore bought Wildlands Gold if it were priced under £25. Great game though especially in co-op.
So if I download the game, and once the weekend passes, will I still keep playing the full game, or will it lock me out unless I pay $60?
@SoulsBourne128 It will lock you out till you pay for it after the free period.
@ShogunRok Injustice 2 is also free this weekend as well.
What about the predator and Splinter Cell content?
@tomassi I've played the beta and it wasn't really that fun playing with AI teammates.
@Tasuki Is it the same (Injustice 2) trial that was available last year?
From where I'm standing, the world and it's wife are playing Fortnite, which seems to be keeping them all pretty busy
This is essentially a demo so downloading the large file and patches should help those on the fence.
I played about 10 hours and cleared one area and or killed one main bad guy. However i do not know if or when i will ever play it more. Wildlands is on my old PS4 that was boxed 4 or 5 weeks ago when i set up my new PR0 next to my PS3.
Playing only solo i found Wildlands sort of generic, boring, and i do not like the lighting. Playing solo i find Far Cry 5 is a much more fun game and open world and has the fun Arcade mode.
It's alright this game. I'm playing solo, too.
