    Played the beta heavily, and I've heard it has only improved after release.

    The game is a mellow 3rd-person shooter with a hint of the apocalypse and a taste of open world freedom. That sounds awful, honestly, but it's a subtle stew that I enjoy a lot. You won't max out in the first week of play. You won't be able to be the best and have the best and slay the best after a Dew-fueled,

    The game is a mellow 3rd-person shooter with a hint of the apocalypse and a taste of open world freedom. That sounds awful, honestly, but it's a subtle stew that I enjoy a lot. You won't max out in the first week of play. You won't be able to be the best and have the best and slay the best after a Dew-fueled, 72-hour grind-a-thon. You will have to commit to this game, learn its mechanics, and slowly edge your skills, equipment, and perks along that pathway to greatness. Take this as a true apocalypse simulator, if you must. It's not always exciting, but it certainly can be, and those moments feel all the more powerful because of it. Those same moments aren't rare, either. If you want to press through the story, or non-stop plow through enemies, go for it. I took things slow, however, and meticulously felt out each opponent before attempting each surgical assault. It's got the makin's of greatness.

    For a certain type of player, i.e. fans of tactical shooters, or anyone after a more grounded feel than is offered up by stablemates Destiny and Anthem, The Division 2 also offers a solid, and mostly plausible, contemporary setting to run around in. This is paired up with cover-based combat that is frequently challenging but offers several rewarding ways to engage with enemies.

    Division 2 is similar to the first, but makes notable improvements. "Bullet Sponginess" is definitely reduced (though players will find bosses are somewhat tanky). Quests are longer, and city exploration is encouraged due to new loot materials that help settlements.

    Currently, the game seems a little more challenging. The AI is definitely improved, and actively attempts to flank more

    Currently, the game seems a little more challenging. The AI is definitely improved, and actively attempts to flank more frequently than DIvision 1's AI.

    Inventory management is improved, though attachments are potentially one of the only side-grades from Division 1 - each attachment has a positive AND negative effect (almost in equal measure, sometimes). Early on, I've found this sometimes negates bonus to little overall gain.

    When playing with my friend during early access, he made the comment, "This is sort of like the games we used to be excited for." I can't agree more. There's content here. It feels like it's a worthwhile product, right out of the "box."

    If you didn't like Division 1, you won't like Division 2. But it does sound like Massive really listened to the fanbase and made meaningful improvements on their already-existing system. Because the project is attached to Ubisoft, however, expect plenty of illegitimate/fake bomb reviews.

    I definitely recommend this game for people who either liked the later iterations of Division 1 patches, or for those who are looking for a fleshed-out looter shooter!

    The biggest change from Division one to The Division 2 is not a change in setting nor season. The Division 2 addresses the reality of doing the same content over and over for grinding while also making the world interactive and dynamic.

The Division 2 addresses the reality of doing the same content over and over for grinding while also making the world interactive and dynamic. Instead of working through a game saving people and rebuilding, all to do the same missions over and over at the end of the game like all previous missions were never done, this game gives you a reason to do the content again. You feel the impact you make on the world by interacting with it, and the world continues to change when the game is over, there is nothing static about the division 2.

    Couple that design change, with massive committing a ton of resources to address the faults the first game had. and you have a game that you wish you had when the first one came out, but are more than happy to sink your teeth into now.

    A big improvement over the original, with a more vibrant world that feels more organic and alive than NY (not sure why people are hating on this game being more colorful, go figure).

    The story is crap but honestly who plays a looter shooter (or any dungeon crawler) for the story? The gameplay is intense and challenging enough to stay fresh even when the missions all follow a fairly generic "Go to X and kill Y" formula. The enemies are much less spongey than in the D1, and the beefy boys all have weak spots or strategies that you can use to take them down without having to unload several hundred rounds into them. The AI has definitely upped their game, and if you don't pay attention to baddies trying to flank you will die every time. Gun play is hugely improved and it actually feels like there is a variety of weapons instead of just the same gun with a bunch of different skins.

    Lots of progression, great multiplayer in the dark zone, and the matchmaking system adds a smooth and convenient way to find people to play with if you are a big loser with no friends. On that note, I think solo is honestly easier than with friends unless you all are the same level, because the scaling system does not compensate as much as the increase in enemies when you are in a group. Missions are memorable and with cool set pieces instead of just the same series of corridors and open spaces to fight in. Just feels like there is a lot going on. I got tired of the first game fairly quickly but after reaching 30 last night in D2 I can't wait to keep going.

    My only real complaint is the UI, which is admittedly terrible. So much crap on the screen at once, tough to navigate, and a lot of rewards and progression screens are buried behind this clunky and cluttered system, etc. Hopefully they can work on improving it because it really is a mess. But beyond that the Division 2 is a winner IMO, and better than the other offerings (destiny, anthem, borderlands) in the genre.

    Really beautiful visual and audio design. Good variety of items, builds and enemies. Before the expansion and a big update with it, the game was very easy and was quickly getting a bit boring due to that, but the expansion fixed things right up - now it has a proper challenge.

    Now, some actual review comments. Yes, it seems a bit like Division 1.5, but that isn't a bad thing. While it took a while, Division 1 made itself into a very solid game with a large amount of content. Division 2 has taken that progress and leaped a bit further ahead. The mechanics are more refined, time to kill is improved, and the murder for loot dynamic is completely intact. The DC recreation is superb, just as New York was in the first game.

    Are there are few misses? Sure. The weapon mod screen sucks. Don't know how they screwed that one up, since Div 1's was fine. The menus are chunky, at best, and need to be improved. But they do work. Overall, the game is very playable and requires more tactical consideration than the first game. If you want to run around like Rambo and shoot everything in the face, this isn't the game for you. If you want to be required to think through a fight, watch your flanks, displace to avoid grenade spam, establish crossfire positions and utilize group dynamics and teamwork, then you need look no further.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The division 2 is like four games rolled into one. First is the main story from level 1-30. This part is engaging enough to keep you involved and is a nice continuation of the division 1. The world is very believable and overwhelmingly detailed. If you play this game as a solo action game, you will have lots of fun. I played this part twice and think it is one of the best shooters out there. The second part is basically from the start of the black Tusk invasion until you reach item level 500. This is still entertaining, even if the story makes no sense at all and is obviously the result of having spent so much of the budget on the world that it had to be reused. So you cover mostly the same area with bigger enemies and bigger usually just means more armor and hp, not more challenging in their strategies. The third part begins when you hit item level 500 and start to optimize your gear. This part is based on the believe that randomness of drops is the key to keeping the players playing. I found that part very boring. The itemization has always been overly complex but because of the fast progression their was no need to care, now it becomes a pain. Players are basically set on a rotation and may hope to get in hundreds of drops one which is usable. You spent a silly amount of time in emptying your inventory and checking gear. So most players use groups to go through the necessary steps faster. But because the AI isn't really scaling and the game is only throwing more and harder mobs at you, the encounters become just mindless slaughter feasts. In my opinion this part is rather broken.
    I have never played an MMO which was less social: Most people don't even bother to read their chat, maybe because the chat server is down quite often.
    Ah, yes, the 4th game: pvp. Just not my cup of tea, so I tried it out, but not enough to have a solid opinion on it.
    All this sounds more critical than it should: Especially the first part is awesome. Some of the fire fights are the best I ever had with npcs and the immersion works incredibly well. Because the world is packed so dense with items to discover and nps and events, you really have the feeling of a city under siege, even if obviously it gets repetitive after a while and the crowdedness can have strange side effects, for example spawning a new group of mobs in your back during a fire fight or informing you that there is a friendly control point nearby every time you left one.
    Episode 2 is not changing a lot. The story gets some additions, but the writing is even less impressive. The new areas are great and quite challenging on the other hand. So challenging that coop becomes the standard way to do this.

Вашингтон кста очень хорошо проработан, есть много интересных мест: пентагон, капитолий. По поводу того что в соло трудно, отчасти.

    Much improved over Division 1, do not believe people who tell you otherwise: My wife played through DV1 before joining us in DV2, and I helped her a few times, so I could experience first hand, how much DV2 improves basic game mechanics over DV1. It also does not have the ridiculous "another new weapon tier" mechanic - you can improve the weapons you have forever, once you reach max level.

Although Manhattan maybe was more cool in a sense i just feel that the new summer setting and change of location and factions makes the game worth to play, even if you played the prequel.

    Loot is everywhere and you feel rewarded by every mission. Alot of time is just spent by changing different loadouts and equipment due to the high amounts of loot, which is good.

    The AI can be a bit weird sometimes but they try to flank you and most of the time it works really well.

    The endgame has really been revamped and looked up upon. Once you hit lvl 30 and begin the endgame alot of the game opens up and you progress through World Tiers by doing strongholds.

    The game isn't perfect though, it has its flaws. The PVP for me is just a mess right now especially in the occupied dark zones where the stats are basically the same as in PVE which means that all the damage that you do in PVE you do in the DZ. This enables people to make insane builds and just shred everybody in seconds. If you liked the darkzone experience i would highly recommend you to not enter the occupied darkzones and instead go and play in the normal darkzones due to the the normalisation in stats.

    The story was bland and boring. The characters were forgettable due to the lack of personality. Missions were pretty repetitive, but the locations made it interesting. In conclusion the campaign just felt very lackluster and boring all the way through the only thing that made it a little bit interesting was the change in enviroments between missions.

    Отличное продолжение серии. Сделали реиграбельность на высшем уровне, то что и требовалось от разработчиков после первой части, в остальном игра и так была хороша, возможно только сюжетно просела, но и не сюжетом должна быть сильна данная игра. Я очень доволен и уже провел в игре более 100 часов.Отличное продолжение серии.

    A looter shooter that entertained me for around twenty hours. The story unfortunately doesnt cut it but design of some main missions is phenomenal with fun areas to fight in. While i think that the snowed in New York from the first game was nicer to look at this one improves in a lot of areas, especially content wise from day one.

    I really enjoyed The Division, and the The Division 2 is even better! There is a ton of great an engaging content to keep you completely engaged for a long time. I am now 50 hours into the game and can hardly put it down. There is always something new to do! Massive has done a fabulous job with this game, and I hope it gets the praise it deserves.

    Way better than the first game, it is actually closer to what was described all the way back in E3 2013/2014. Cover-based tactical looter shooter, and NOT a bullet sponge-grind fest. Even though they still exist, their health has had a significant decrease from the last game.

    Esta bien, pasa de la media solo por la constante cantidad de contenido y soporte que se le está dando, adictivo o frustrante ya que requiere de algo más que habilidad, lo que sí exigiría a Bugisoft es el crossplay multiplataforma, ya que es increíblemente absurdo que se están perdiendo de esa posibilidad ya que si fuera un juego free to play alcanzaría otro nivel

All bad reviewers perhaps should've stuck to Pong, if modern shooters are too difficult for their poor abilities or too complex for their little minds, all others should buy it and will be satisfied! Want to have fun killing quite smart software-enemies? Go for it! If you like looter-shooter-action, The Division 2 is a must-have!

    Some details:
    I am friend of completing maps - hey, i paid for and the devs invested time and money to create it - , i took every sidequest (o.K., not so difficult, more or less had to for getting the right level for the mainquest), not reached the final and/or maxlvl 30 yet, but have over 40 hrs already, thats real bang for the buck!!!
    OMFG, what an experience. Graphics, gameplay, gunplay, story, quests, overall design are all almost perfect. Also the balancing, i get what i need to progress, but have to fight with more tactic the further i go.

    About repetitivness: Hey, i don't know why the bad reviewers had to lie, but every story-mission is unique, every location is custommade, definitely NOT copypasted, TONS of different weapons and gear (great compare-funktion btw, no headache with calculating stats :) Sure, some content repeats, but at different locations with different enemies, so i don*t know whats the problem, if you don't like conquering x different checkpoints, the game would be over in 10 hours like some short AAA's, which charged full price anyway. Also it makes sense for the story, so for me it feels different enough to have more hours of fun, all the way better than play a short game through 5 times with exactly same content except enemy-stats to accumulate my hours before getting bored!

    I will give MP a try, if it doesn't work no problem for me, the singleplayer-content is more than enough, even if i had to pay the releaseprice!

    My big thank goes to the developers, they did an awesome job with this masterpiece, one of the few games of the last decades worth full price for me!

    And a little hint for the cheaters: It is an online-game and we now have 2020, so don't think the developers of such a great game are as dumb as you! ,,i,,

    Edit: Read some more reviews and have to say:
    1: Perhaps Ubisoft started some banning-actions (same date of bad reviews ;), so now the little cheating pusies will get no more milk! Well deserved, if your parents would have treated you right, you would have learned to develop games, not to cheat in games you neither can beat nor deserve!
    2: I had NO bug/crash in 40+ hrs singleplayer, and for me it is a great, great SINGLEPLAYER game with MP-option, which i, because of cheating (and/or) kiddies do not prefer over an almost flawless SP-experience for adults!
    3: About story/characters: omfg, it is a game! A real good movie has perhaps one hour good story of the total two it lasts, what do you want? 100 hours interesting story? The whole James-Bond-series packed in one game, that costs less than tree DVD/times to go to cinema? Total lack of realism! btw, the story is better and with more details than 90 % of all movies, so grow up!

    The Division 2 is good. In fact, it gets even better the longer you play. After spending 48 hours in the main campaign, and another 20 hours playing the endgame and exploring the Dark Zones, I can confidently say that The Division 2 is the best loot shooter I’ve ever played.

    Each mainline mission stands out despite following the same core loop from the original. Diverse environments with different vantage points and hazards promote a wealth of strategies while helping to highlight the varied enemy design and excellent, improved gunplay. The vast, well-realized open world accompanied by a sublime loot system, features a wealth of differentiated weapons and gear.

    All of these systems come together to further shine in the endgame. More fleshed out than its predecessor, the lengthy mission path winds up being even better than the already excellent campaign, and while the Dark Zones don’t feel like game changers at the moment, they are welcomely open to both hardcore and casual players.

    The Division 2 is an addictive, highly rewarding experience. Bugs exist, but overall it’s a highly polished experience.

But now I am playing in 2nd chapter and you know what? Forget it. This is the division that were supposed to be, the game that has a lot of content, you will always have what to do. There is plenty of mechanics to learn. 8 is very good score for this game that I give it with great reserve cause game really need good support to fix issues especially for 12dx

    Speaking of badguys, there is a good variation of them, some try too rush and meele you some throw grenades, some send exploding RC Vehicles to you, some revive there comrades etc. .

    When you play the Game with some friends, it can be a lot of fun in the Endgame. You loot and upgrade you're build. Completing tasks and missions over and over again is the principle of it. So if you're looking for a game the play 1-2 hours a day and don't mind redoing stuff, it is a lot of fun.

    The biggest disadvantage of this title is the fact that they made this game actually playable and stable with no crashes after almost 6 years after release.

    I would recommend it to play with the team of at least 3-4. Alone it might be boring, I still love it anyways

    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.
