    Buggy as hell, scaling is a mess. super fun in groups but absolutely wretched soloing. I mean simply it is a waste of time and unrewarding unless you can group npcs have too much ammo/grenades and are super sponge. In most game the bad guys are the Doritos in solo Division 2 The player is the squishy

    Game worked for the first few weeks, after update 2.0 game continues to crash after 5 mins.

    Spent solid 2 hours troubleshooting and came to the conclusion this was a rushed product and is full of bugs. Not gonna bore you with the details but garbage game that you should avoid until 6 months from now when the game will be patched to a "working version" that it should have been at launch.

    I like the map, the graphics, the environment, but the game is boring, a whole magazine for a single enemy, endgame is repetitive and just a big farm. Also Pvp dark zone gameplay dynamics are not well done.
    I wouldn't play it even if it was a f2p game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game industry today is so bad we have come to expect products to release half broken, in fact, a half broken product is within the margin of error from most consumers point of view. I strongly believe this now especially after I've seen enough of what The Division 2 has to offer.

    It is highly praised for its endgame content, which starts after you hit level 30, which is in fact, just a replay for some of the main missions you have already completed but now with the added twist, gear restrictions and reskinned enemies that you have to progress through to be able to obtain items with higher "gear score" and increase your chances of survival in PVP. I know PVP is not for everybody but Ubisoft uses Dark Zone as a selling point yet it is severely unbalanced and unfair in normal AND normalized modes.

    The main story lacks substance and is easily forgettable, the levels are well designed and vary from one another but the enemy mechanics are all the same. Stay in cover or flank the player. The AI is constantly aware and tries to counter react against the player. The instant the player presses the button to equip the grenade, several enemies will get out of cover ready to shoot, the same happens when player leaves the cover, if the player is not moving for long enough, enemies will use grenades or attempt to flank to lure the player out. This is about as we get out of AI and that is okay. However in the open world, capturing control points or doing random activities will soon become a chore. You will find yourself completely vulnerable in the face of an ambush from a random enemy "patrol" while you're attempting to complete any of those. You are very squishy, the game encourages you to think your actions but quite often, around 2/4 times in my experience you will find out enemies can spawn right behind you and instantly killing you. This aspect of the game is not challenging nor fun, it's just a fake added difficulty that does more bad than good.

    The game fakes projectiles, it plays an effect of a projectile but the actual bullets are hitscan, I found myself trying to aim ahead of running enemies without any success of landing any shots, the only way to actually hit an enemy whether it is a player or an npc is to make sure you actually shot only after the crosshair has turned red, which usually happens only if you're aiming straight at the body, regardless of distance.

    DX12 performance is better than DX11, too bad it crashes the game every hour or so. It is however on DX11 by default so most players probably wouldn't notice.

    It is somewhat reminiscent of Defiance, it does many things right, but for every good aspect of the game there is also a bad one. It may get polished out in time but right now there are too many things that put me off. I've sinked 50 hours into the game and I'll stop here for now.    … Expand

    The story of this game is very nice. The battle system is also very nice. But So Xucking option of items. So Xucking Calibration system. So Xucking module system. Borderland 2's item system was the Best. Division 2 will evolve when Ubi discard random option.

    The Game is awesome. The Shooting feels right and the overall gameplay is tactical and with deep thoughts. Great amount of Content for single- and coop-players.
    The HUGE downside:
    This Awesome Game gets beaten down by the lack of performance. Even PUBG runs better. The Game crashes 8 Times in just 3 hours and you have to open the Game in Window-mode or you have a blackscreen.

    Good graphics but the gameplay is extremely repetetive and boring. All you will do is shoot enemies in the same way for 60 hours.

    Anyone with a brain in his head will be bored after 5 minutes.

    If you want to shoot some enemies after work without thinking much, get in on Sale for 9.99 $...but is is a real borefest.

    Graphics and the Campaign experience are great!

    But should you continue to the "end game" (RPG character building thing), then you are in deep trouble. Unfixed bugs, Constant nerfing, buffing, gear bonuses changing at developer's discretion will make your experience very frustrating. - imagine all your time spent farming for those gears, suddenly be changed on some future update. As of writing this review, the devs are planning to nerf some gears and weapons.

    Don't get me wrong, I am able to make solid builds even with all these constant changes, capable of clearing Heroic and Legendary mission replays (2 of the hardest modes of the game). But this game really requires time, time that some players do not have.

    this game is a work in progress, sold half-baked.

    In conclusion, buy this game when it's on sale. play only the campaign and move on to other games unless you have all the time in the world and is OK with these unfixed bugs, and constant changes the developers are doing to perhaps extend your time playing as you will need to re-farm gears until the devs decided to change it again.    … Expand

    Never have I seen such a neutral-quality game. Every good aspect of The Division 2 has a curse with it that hits just as hard.

    The game is essentially the Modern RPG equivalent of Breath of the Wild, with a breathtaking environment and immersive soundscapes to match. However, all of this good comes at a terrible price, as you can't fully enjoy the world early on due to area leveling, which leaves you with only two choices: grind levels or sneak to explore. The former works 20 times better than the latter... for every level under the minimum you are.

    The co-op, especially the Dark Zone, is enjoyable with friends. This turns around and slaps you in the face by making the game scale to the level of the highest-leveled player instead of going the other way around, forcing you to make a completely new agent to play with any friends that want to play the game with you.

    The "living world" mechanics are a revolutionary improvement from the original game and gives depth to the series' focus on urban warfare by having plenty of things for you to deal with, including Control Points and Liberation projects. The downside of this is actually a feature: Invasions. I don't know why but I've had problems with Invasion missions and strongholds so often that it can't possibly be a problem on my end. The standard variants work flawlessly, group or not, but I haven't been able to run a single Invasion variant mission in a single attempt because something always breaks, most often a door.    … Expand

    Purchased The Division 2 on launch. Spent nearly 300 hours with it and enjoyed it. However, inventory management is what put me off and I stopped playing the game. I got my money's worth.

    Pre-ordered WONY. Expected to have similar experience as at launch, but boy - was I wrong. Gear 2.0 is something I really liked. It maybe simplified the game, but it made everything more manageable.    Purchased The Division 2 on launch. Spent nearly 300 hours with it and enjoyed it.

    Pre-ordered WONY. Expected to have similar experience as at launch, but boy - was I wrong.

    Gear 2.0 is something I really liked. It maybe simplified the game, but it made everything more manageable.

    Unfortunately, that is the only positive side of WONY and current state of The Division 2.

    It is lazy, buggy as hell and not a joy to play. Loot is generally crap, some gear sets don't work, some talents currently also don't work (in DZ, for example), control points are not reset, can't reach boss areas in at least 1 bounty, flame thrower enemies have insane range, and so on, and so on. There are many places which describe all the bugs, no point to list it here.

    But worst of all - Massive did what they said they would not do.

    They turned The Division 2 enemies into sponges. Worst sponges you can imagine. Horrible and super lazy decision. A year ago, things would be hard, but you wouldn't spend 2 minutes shooting at a thing trying to kill it.

    Also, you now die pretty much if enemies fart in your general direction.

    So, you end up with a "cover-based" game where you are supposed to stay behind cover in order not to die, but at the same time you need to peek outside cover in order to shoot enemies for half an hour in order to damage them. Paradoxical.

    Damage glitch was a revelation, since it made it possible for players to realize how crap loot drop tables are and that there is nothing to look forward to, in the end game. Massive has changed the game so it feels like a mobile game. Really sad about that.

    Basically, loot drops are junk and you have a very small chance to actually get a piece of gear, or a weapon, with really good rolls. Massive has turned the game into a "quest for a good drop" game.

    Loot in The Division 2 is simply gambling and nothing more than that. Some people might like it, but I like to be rewarded for the time I spend in game, so this does not sit with me well.

    All that being said - if you get a game at a good discount, buy it and play until you reach the end game.

    Game is beautiful, story line is interesting and you should get a lot of fun before you reach the end game. You won't need to worry about builds, talents or anything else while you are progressing, so you won't notice all the issues.

    However, if you don't like bulletsponges as enemies, skip TD2.

    Disclaimer: Review was written on April 3rd 2019, and at this point in time enemies are horrible bulletsponges. That might change in the future.    … Expand

    Its always the same, even now with the "new" events: Finish this mission you already played at least 50 times again and get some checkpoints to unlock the manhunt. Seriously how lame is that? Give us at least new maps or new type of quest than all this repeating non sense. Ok since the game is only 3- 9    Its so bad that Massive can't make use of this great setting, they have created.

    Ok since the game is only 3- 9 bucks worthy I guess they get a lot new players that really enjoy that. But for Players that spend more than 32 days into this game it sucks. Even the Polarity Mission is just boring. Maybe Day1, its was nice to have a new type of challenge but in the end its just shoot this many people in a special way.

    I really enjoyed hunting down Keener. But even is death is so meh. No one cares what happens after that. All we get is this endless grind to level 1000. And yeah I did that because I love grinding and did all kind of side activities like Territoriums, Target Practise, Rescue Hostage legid. And yeah its boring as hell even with friends.

    Using the glitch was the first time I felt like this is how the game should be. You get so much bad loot in 200 hours of grinding even with this glitch its crazy. And its not like you are rambo and cant die. You still need to find good spots to be in cover or else they will one shot you. I challenged myself with doing legendary runs all over again solo and hell yeah that was a lot of fun. And it tooks me 56 trys to get a crappy rolled exotic. I am a hardcore grinder and I lose 200 hours with the rollback.
    it would be fine if I would have played 50 hours but this is just mad.

    The generell loot was not very good and it feeled like grinding for legendarys in Anthem(46 hours no legendary).
    While using the glitch I went of the grid no groups and no friends that could be affected by it.

    I am a developer myself for a game company and I can say that we never would treat customer this way. They could have bring a pop up message that informs player about the situation and who ever is using it will get there accounts rolled back and my guess 90 % would have stopped right away.

    But it feels like a team from masseffect andromeda and anthem. I am not sure why they can't fix stuff that is important for players for month, instead they blame the players for there incompetence.

    Now we can't matchmake anymore because we can get banned if we matchmake with someone using any glitch.And the next think what is a glitch in there terms because some are allowed and some not.

    And now instead of buffing the weapons they are nerfing the only dps build that make sense in this game to the ground.

    This game becomes a joke and after 32 days of gametime I am going to stop until they get there **** done.

    No more Bullet sponges accept bosses and armored guys
    More rewarding Drops no purples and low tier gear in challenging and heroic missions
    Revive Hive is working as it should
    More content and better quest system.
    And the most important think is this toxic mindset that Massive has against his playerbase. If this will not change than there live service game will become the next Anthem.

    Its time for Final Fantasy 7 and to grind again like it should be ^^    … Expand

    Play around 300 hours, used to like it but when they release a DLC and lock most of the feature behind it, it divided the user into 2 categories: OP and trash. The totally left the based game players behind and force them to buy the expansion (it's completely trashed if you read the review). So thanks to greedy dev, I decided to NOT buy the expansion because it's no longer fun.

    With the experience accumulated on The Division 1, Massive manages with TD2 to excite our curiosity. Stronger, more generous, better built, the title succeeds where other games as service before it has struggled to. Thanks to its end-game, which renew the experience by adding content and skillfully recycles the existing one, but also thanks to this map of Washington, absolutely fantastic, which allows more than ever to immerse yourself in the universe of the agents of the Division.
