    As a solo player, this is the worst looter shooter game I have ever played. Zero game balance skew towards singleplayer. Boss enemies are just high damage high accuracy bullet sponges and all you can do is to dance around them because they can snipe you with minigun. And when there is more than one in a tight spot, you are screwed. Zero fun, very frustrating.

    It's designed as an online co-op game, but you can play solo. Though there seems to be a latency delay no matter what. You can't pause the game, and if you idle for too long they'll kick you out and you'll have to restart the whole mission (not even from checkpoint).

    There's lots of HUD items on your screen, particularly in the center of it, which I don't like. You can hide only some of it, some of the time. Even the enemies have health bars...

    The guns aren't fun to use, and the general gameplay isn't fun.

    Headshots don't seem to matter, and it takes anywhere from a dozen bullets to a full clip to kill someone. This seems to tie into the fact that the game is designed for multiplayer, so they expect enemies to get shot at by multiple people. Problem is, even if you wanted to, I wasn't able to find any partners in matchmaking.

    There's no stealth killing. No crouch. No sneaking up on people and taking them out from behind.

    The graphics are nice, run well, and aren't heavily demanding. But unfortunately they're the only good thing about this game. And they're not good enough to counter all the other deficits.    … Expand

    I just can't play. I have a good Internet, good PC but I get bugs. For example, enemies just do not load . It's like I'm playing with the invisible. Instead give the enemies of intellect , Ubisoft just gave them a lot of health. They just run at me, and my weapons do not cause them any damage. Very glad, that not spent on this game their money .

    Only played it for 7hrs.

    This game really does deserve a zero. There are so many problems it boggles the mind. I have never been more certain that a game has been given false positive reviews than I am with The Division. Everything negative you are reading in the reviews is true.

There are so many problems it boggles the mind. I have never been more certain that a game has been given false positive reviews than I am with The Division. Everything negative you are reading in the reviews is true.

    If you have ever wondered why it is a bad thing to have to always be connected while playing a game, then look no further than this game as a perfect example. You get disconnected, or can't connect in the first place, for so many reasons. It's lots of fun being almost finished with a brutally hard mission and then being disconnected. It's also a great time when your profile needs to be rebuilt and you lose hours of progress or have to completely start over again.

    The AI in this game is the worst I have ever seen. I understand that AI in a game usually involves some kind of cheating to make sure it is not too easy, but this AI has no intelligence at all and consists of nothing more than flat out cheating. Your enemies can shoot you before they see you. They can shoot you through barriers, including walls. They can shoot you from incredible distance no matter what weapon they have. Their standard weapons can shoot you from further away than any sniper rifle you may have. Their weapons will also kill you in the blink of an eye. So much so that you may not even have a second to take cover before your dead. Then they will often just walk or run right up to you and kill you while your blasting them in the face the whole time. Their accuracy is incredible. They can face away from you and still hit you while firing their gun. Apparently the AI is set up so they don't have an accuracy rating, it's just an automatic hit. You, on the other hand, have to put with things like laptops and flimsy barriers completely blocking your fire while they fire right through them. It's not just enemy AI that is awful, the NPCs are terrible. The voices are disconnected from the people who are supposedly speaking. They face away from you and talk to walls when they are supposed to be addressing you. You see the same couple of interactions wherever you travel. It's so stupid they would have been better off just leaving the city empty. The civilians just casually walk right into your firefights. The soldiers who sometimes "assist" you literally never hit anything and walk casually among the enemies who have no interest in hurting them even though they are supposedly firing at them. They will, however, do as much as possible to get in your way.

    The mission design is very poor and repetitive. The fact that you have to grind so much makes that aspect even more unpleasant. Everyone talks about all of the "loot", but what is the point? Most of the items are worthless and any upgrades are immediately nullified by the enemy AI being upgraded. Getting an "upgrade" will often make things more difficult for you as the enemies more than offset any new weapons or armor.

    I wouldn't touch "Tom Clancy's The Division 2" with a ten foot pole. Gamers buying garbage like this make me sad, and are ruining gaming.    … Expand

    I get annoyed.
    Picked the young one.
    Get instructions how to shoot(i know this stuff already so let's get going).
    The sign of button pops up. I probably have to press it. No explanation which button it is, so finally go into the menu and look at the controls: it is the space bar.
    Ok. Lets go. Press shift. I don't sprint.
    Look again in the controls: shift is sprint. Press shift again: can't sprint.
    Get seriously frustrated..
    Follow the instruction to shoot at the assigned objects and jump over obstacles.
    Can sprint now with shift.
    So they only unlock the sprint control after your followed the instructions.

    Safehouse crawls with people Called TSSSSsssK or GotaGartcha baby. UnderBeat or Malaficky. That I know from MMO's. What are all these people doing in my singleplayer?

    I had already written one review on The Division around 2 months after it had released, I gave it a 5 then and since have had a change of heart in regards to that score. I had racked up 250 hours before writing the first review and have done considerable hours since.

I had racked up 250 hours before writing the first review and have done considerable hours since.

    Initially I had enjoyed playing this game, I'm not going to go into detail about that as it is in my initial review, I'm just going to concentrate on my experience after that which was not good. The game has so many flaws it really does beggar belief how it made it to retail, even now given the state of the game is should still not be released, bugs, exploits, glitches and the massively unbalanced nature of pvp, be it the glitch exploiters who farm the incursions for all the best gear or just plain cheaters.

    When the Underground dlc dropped I was hoping that it would put the game back on track and fix some of the issues as well as give players some much needed variation, sadly after a week or so I realized that the Underground was also as linear as the rest of the game and just as tedious and repetitive. To make matters worse, the rewards for finishing in Challenging and Heroic were horrendously poor, the infinite grind (for me at least) was never rewarding. i tried pvp again and it was just as awful as last time, my character was reasonably strong 500damage and 400stamina yet while I was wasting masses of ammo clips on players, a few shots would always take me down, despite popping my alt and using the strengths of my build. Something was glitching or I was just always matched up against people who I had no chance of beating, the balance was way off, I lost interest after that and haven't been back since and I doubt I will.

    I learned a valuable lesson though, never pre order and never buy dlc early, I threw a lot of money into this game and despite having done around 300 hours on it I still don't feel I have had my moneys worth. I should still be playing this game, sadly its faults are too big to be ignored and it just becomes boring, unrewarding and extremely repetitive to play. It's deleted from my hard drive and will probably stay that way.

    So initially I gave it a 5/10, my experiences thereafter and the fact that fixes are still proving to be elusive have made me reconsider. I now give it a 1/10 and it can be lucky it got that 1 for the overall concept. The execution of everything in this game is what contributes to my new score of 1/10, shoddy, unfinished and extremely poor execution have sullied my perception of a game that initially at least I enjoyed.

    Massive and Ubisoft promise fixes, sadly I have waited long enough and while 1.4 is imminent, sadly for Ubnisoft and Massive so is Battlefield 1, FIFA 16, Mafia 3 and a host of other games that will forever bury my interest in returning to this sorry spectacle of a game.

    I seriously urge anyone who hasn't bought it yet to read extensively on it before buying or even better, get a hands on play from friends or something, I don't think it's current price is justifiable, especially when including the dlc. In fact, if I could I'd ask for a refund but I've already played too much of it. Be careful with this game and do your homework.    … Expand

We have already spent about 200 hours with it collectively and we’re not planning on abandoning it, because it is, simply put, outstanding and shows amazing potential for the future. [05/2016, p.30]

    An immensely thrilling action-MMO hybrid, but good for 30 hours rather than the hoped-for 300. [May 2016, p.70]
