    It feels like an upgrade over the first game in every way, just not massively so, a little better everywhere does add up though.

    I'd say The Division 2 is currently the best loot shooter on the market, they do a lot better than the competition. Overall the gunplay is solid, AI is improved and actually quite smart now, enemies are less spongy than the first game, loot is abundant and    It feels like an upgrade over the first game in every way, just not massively so, a little better everywhere does add up though.

    The division 2 is a sequel done right. It's fixed alot of the missed potential in the first game.

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.    … Expand

    -Glitchy rooms that will not load.
    -random spawning/roaming enemies that can quite often cheat you out of completing a world event, this is worst when you spend 20-30 minutes leveling a control point for blueprint reward when you take it. then it forces you to chase an enemy down that wont go where it is supposed to due to a random roaming patrol ending with the event complete but no reward for you due to being out of the event border.
    -lacking any sort of real change to enemy AI rushing or giving AI allies you can play with for those who may wish to play solo.
    -having to specifically set up gear for skill powers if you want to put ANY mod on a gadget unless you got lucky and found then saved a low level one to equip late when max lvl.    … Expand

    Interesting gameplay can make up for a boring story. And a good story can make up for the mediocre gameplay. But Division 2 is sucks on both fronts.

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.

    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.

    As someone that's played over 700 hours (according to steam) I had a love hate relationship with the first one.

    Leveling was great experience but only so-so for a solo player sometimes. RNG was a **** and meta's were the norm. There was pretty much only one best in class weapon, and most end game gear sets were nothing to write home about. NPCs were bullet sponges most of the time and    As someone that's played over 700 hours (according to steam) I had a love hate relationship with the first one.

    Leveling was great experience but only so-so for a solo player sometimes. RNG was a **** and meta's were the norm. There was pretty much only one best in class weapon, and most end game gear sets were nothing to write home about. NPCs were bullet sponges most of the time and would use horde tactics to overwhelm players.
    And the bugs? Well those were the stuff of legends and exploits. Lastly and my biggest complaint the NPC spawning system was really punishing, especially at end game if you played solo. Well they did try to address much of the problems in the first game some still persist even today.

    The second game is a vast improvement on the first in many ways. I've been able to solo up to level 20 so far without any problems. NPCs are less bullet spongy and tactics over just bouncing around has become a viable game mechanic. Bad RNG well still a problem seems better. But the crafting and modding system so far seems whittled down to a point where we really don't need it TBH. The missions are reasonably different, but not as varied as the first IMHO. The environment seems both more and less alive. There are no random people just walking around and everyone is in a militia type group. Also the litter is a bit overdone IMHO.
    The developers have added a few new interesting gameplay elements and have brought over many that they introduced later in the first game. Lastly the bugs. It's pretty much the same story there. Way too many have slipped through Q&A. Even game breaking bugs that just shouldn't be in the game still. There are a couple of "projects" I can't complete due to the bugs. Like I said game stopping. I would of scored it a point or two higher based on the gameplay, my enjoyment, and all the improvements over the first one. But with the amount of bugs there are I just can't in all good conscious.

    But overall the game is a worthy successor to the first and if you liked it I'm fairly confident you'll like the second too. Just don't expect a perfect game. It has just as many warts as the first one did at launch. Let's hope this time the developers fix most of the problems before everyone deserts the game like they did the first one.    … Expand

    Of special note is the strategy. You must use cover - there's no tanking here. You need to play smart. You need to be constantly aware of your enemy's positions, enemy strengths & weakness, when to advance and when to retreat, and your own health and armor. As you face higher level enemies, they have better and better AI. Expect to die a lot in the first 8 to 10 hours of game play as you learn the cover system, how to move from cover to cover, and how to deal with the enemy strategies.

    Ярких плюсов у игры два:

    2) Стрелять приятно, даже очень. Оружие можно подобрать и настроить так, как тебе нравится - и это отдельное удовольствие. Высокая отдача, но больший урон? А может нужна хорошая точность? Или положиться на удачу и вкачать шансы крита и скорострельность? Решать всегда вам - вариаций плейстайлов масса (а еще прикольно палить по окружающим объектам)
    -------
    Теперь о нейтральных моментах:
    1) Враги. Они - неоднозначные, что впрочем может сильно меняться в зависимости играете ли вы соло (как люблю я) или в пати. За 40 часов игры вам постепенно будут подкидывать вариации четырех видов врагов - психи с дубинками, обычные солдаты, инженеры с разными роботами/турелями и танки в тяжелой броне. В целом ростер врагов и вариации их экипировки в своих различных комбинациях держат все время прохождения неплохо, но в конце осознаешь, что разнообразие не то, чтобы очень впечатляет. ИИ неплохо работает с поиском путей, действует в команде. Фрустрирует появление врагов в спине и слишком долгое ожидание, пока голова вылезет из-за укрытия. На то, чтобы переключиться на гранату и кинуть ее к противнику тоже требуется много времени, поэтому чаще ты просто ждешь, пока болванчик высунется.
    2) Техническая составляющая - проблемы возникают только в кооперативе и я не могу сказать наверняка - дело в игре или в моем слабом ПК. В соло игре у меня были мелкие ошибки и никаких критичных, вроде отсутствия интерфейса, неподгружаемой стрельбы, зависания на загрузке. Оптимизация неплоха, но требуется приличный процессор.
    3) Не очень много заданий - все миссии строятся так: несколько секций где надо пострелять в мобов, последняя самая сложная с каким-то особым противником (это может быть любой вид противника, только более жирный и например со станящими патронами). Другое дело - каждая локация внутри помещений уникальна и сделана вручную, это тоже требует усилий. Поэтому оставлю в неоднозначном данную претензию.
    _____
    Теперь о том, что мне не понравилось:
    1) Сюжет. А где он?
    2) Все что связано с PVP в игре The Division 2 вроде бы сделано неплохо - режим 5 на 5 на продуманных картах, Темная зона со своим веселым рандомом. Но меня почему-то не затягивает.

    По итогу я ставлю игре очень хорошую оценку, т.к. Ubisoft действительно старается сделать увлекательную онлайн игру со своими фишками, но забывает про сюжет и совсем не цепляет PVP. Я продолжу следить за проектом, но только в рамках новых PVE активностей.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

It's very satisfying to run around and loot everything, even if you're not getting upgrades with every kill. It's such a challenging game too. The AI is amazing, best I've seen in any game of this genre. Fights require actual strategy, planning, and timing. If you rush into a fight, you'll end up dead. The game is beautiful, massive, and packed with things to do. I'm 50 hours into this and still haven't beaten the main story quests. I've been too busy doing all the little sidequests that seem to pop up everywhere.

    THIS IS NOT DIVISION 1! Give it a chance, it'll surprise you.    … Expand

But significantly in terms of the amount of content available right out of the box. There is an extraordinarily large amount things do you, stronghold, missions, pvp, dark zone, bounties, capture points, and other smaller world map tasks such as supply drop captures, broadcast captures, hostage rescue etc. And those actually get improved later on in end game when you reach world tier 4 where those individually have different difficulty rating that climb the more they're completed, offering better and better rewards.
    The gun play is just as fun as the original, the loot system certainly feels satisfying and for an online game I've not had a single connection issue so far with the game. I also really enjoy the new specialisations where you can choose between survivor, marksman and demolition. Each one gives you a set of individual talents for that specialisation and you get a signature weapon. Demolition gets a grenade launcher. Survivor gets a crossbow with explosive bolts. Marksman gets a high powered sniper rifle. And you can swap between them by visiting the base of operations whenever you want.

    Some of my minor complaints are probably down to smaller things, for example I don't like loot boxes (That's just a personal opinion and it can be a controversial topic).
    The UI can be a little confusing when you first game into the game but you get used to it fairly quickly, but it still has a few minor annoyances, like I wish I had the option to make selectable areas on the map have their large icons at all times so it was easier to find specific locations I want to set a waypoint on.
    I've had a few bugs for example there was a gun where several skills would just disappear instantly and you would get a cooldown timer on the ability (However this has now been fixed). But I also noticed other bugs such as sometimes when I try and swap to my signature weapon it simply instantly switches back to the weapon I had equipped already. And by far the most annoying bug seems to be specifically centered around the District Union Arena stronghold as I haven't spotted it anywhere else but twice in this exact place. Sometimes one of the enemies seems to not leave a spawn room and then the door closes with them inside making it annoying to kill them and maybe impossible on some occasions as you can't reopen the door but you can't progress through the stronghold until you kill all enemies in the area. I've been lucky and been able to glitch fire through the wall several times to kill them but I imagine it's going to be impossible in some situations, and it means you have to restart the entire stronghold if you can't kill that one enemy.

    Overall however, I've been having an absolute blast with this game, enjoying it far more than I did the previous game, and right out of the box as well without having to wait for content updates.    … Expand

    Perfect reward system, very tactile gunplay and great visuals make Division 2 the best loot shooter on the market, and one of the best co-op games in the recent years. [Issue#237, p.36]

    For all the deafening noise and fury of its street battles and set-pieces, The Division 2 is, at heart, a game of co-operative tidying up with incrementally better guns.

    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.
