I've only played Ghost Recon 1.

Would this game be enjoyable if I liked the very first game? Or is it a totally different experience?

Fairly different - in tone and pacing, especially.

There's fun to be had, but in this case, I recommend giving Ghost Recon: Wildlands a try first, as it seems to marry new modern formula and the tone much more familiar to the classic GR. These two games are IMO the closest in the series. If you'll like Wildlands then perhaps give Breakpoint a try, however I suggest doing some research on YouTube first.

If you're an OG Ghost Recon fan I also suggest checking out ARMA 3 and Ground Branch.

Very, very different. They tried doing way too much to the point that they just jumped the shark and made a bad game. Its predecessor Wildlands is one of my favourite games of all time, and it's clear they were trying to do the same thing with this game by adding more to that formula, but they failed in almost every way.

Skip this and just get Wildlands if you're looking for a more recent Ghost Recon game to play. This one will just disappoint you.

Totally different, this is nothing like the original ghost recon it only shares the name and they both include guns, that's about it for similarities.
For what it is this game is an incredibly arcady and generic open world game, closer to a game like far cry 3-6 than ghost recon.

If you liked the original ghost recon i recommend the expansions if you haven't tried them (desert storm and island thunder), also the classic rainbow six games most importantly rainbow six 3, but you probably know those.
There's also a lesser known game called "sum of all fears", which is basically ghost recon 1 but it plays as CIA operators and mostly revolves around CQC, i never played it because it's banned in most places but if you can get your hands on it it might scratch your itch.

The only recent game like GR i can think of is Ground Branch; which is developed by some of the devs from the original ghost recon/rainbow six and a BIG recommend from me.
It's still EA but it's the closest experience to those classics imo.

Ready or Not is a great game too, but it's more like the modern day SWAT 4 (spiritual successor) so i'm not sure if you'd like that.

Thanks everyone for the answers. It seems like Wildlands is too expensive, too many DLC and also has MTX. Guess I will either get Ready or Not or Ground Branch, on sale.

Id suggest you Future Soldier and Wildlands first, cuz the games are very different in comparison with the very first GR game

Just get GR: Wildlands when it's on sale, seriously, it's worth it.

MTX ain't needed and you can farm most stuff in-game if you're desperate.

I just remembered there's a game called hidden & dangerous 2, which is incredibly similar to the OG ghost recon but in world war 2.
Has a bit more depth in it's mechanics too and it's on steam, i recommend it if you haven't played it because it still holds up today.

Hidden & Dangerous 2 was my childhood game and probably one of the best WW2 tactical shooters I ever played. Still holds up well today imo.
That and Operation Flashpoint (now ArmA: Cold War Assault) were my introductions to realistic shooters/milsims.

Can defo recommend them to anyone who liked the original Ghost Recon 1.

I personally grew up with ghost recon, rainbow six and SWAT 4, only learning of this hidden gem when i was much older.

Even when playing it as an adult i somehow felt the nostalgia, you instantly feel how it is one of the games from the golden age of tactical gaming, it's amazing.
