    Very enjoyable game thus far. I have leveled to level 8 and will update this as I go on. It starts out with a great story that is something that could happen concerning a virus. The first I would say 4 levels are to get you accustomed to key bindings and controls. As well as how the mechanics of the game work. This game reminds me of Destiny meets maybe a socomish open world game.Very enjoyable game thus far. I have leveled to level 8 and will update this as I go on.

The group matchmaking is super easy and makes it very easy to travel to your peers and level together. Some of the missions which I consider like instances in wow... are extremely difficult and with a group you can heal each other and revive each other but if by yourself you start over. So def a game to play with peers. Boss fights are tough.. take thought.. not just run and gun as you will get one shot in cases. You can level your base up which unlucks new skills and perks. There is a so called talent tree which can be dps, tank, and heals essentially. This is the most satisfying shooter I have played in years and by far most satisfying MMO style shooter. Get this game.. Will update as I level. Have fun. look me up. xfeer on uplay… Expand

It's just a shame that this site allows upset people to vent their nonsense and troll with low scores even if they haven't played the game.

    The Division is one of the fastest selling AAA games and will become one of the biggest brands in videogame history. It looks amazing in 4K and even on weaker cards; it runs immensely well. Ubisoft have completely obliterated the AAA market at last with a game people can finally be proud of.

    The salty COD, CSGO and DOTA players can go back to their tinpot PC's and drool in the knowledge they wont ever have hardware to play this but there is no need to behave so childishly out of pure jealousy. Best game of all time.    … Expand

I would call it a good game that should provide a couple hundred hours of enjoyment at least. It's a fun shooter best enjoyed with your buddies. The graphics are butter smooth, and the attention to details like *auto run" are nice. The servers have been solid for me after the release day hiccup. The character skills and loot have depth (still discovering things). This game is not a grinder (Ark Survival Evolved is a grinder). It is a bit repetitive and the bad guys all look very similar. That said, much like in the Rainbow Six Vegas series that didn't matter, it was still a lot of fun to group up with buddies and throw bullets at bad guys. The bad guys are a bullet sponges by I personally enjoy that play once in awhile. Coming from playing ARMA III a military simulator where 1 well placed round kills you and you lose everything and must start from scratch. I found The Division to be a refreshing less serious shooter. Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Ubisoft, and the fact that we have to tie a UPlay account to the game (even if somewhat automated through Steam) is lame. That said, reviewing The Division on the merit of the game and separating my opinion from the developer. This game is enjoyable. It has gaps, it's nowhere near perfect but what game really is. If you want to enjoy some co-op shooter play that brings you back to the good ol' days of Rainbow Six Vegas with some additional depth, The Division might be just what you are looking for.… Expand

    One of the best game from Ubisoft. The graphics are amazing, the UI is close to perfection and the Control/Gameplay is pretty good. Best AI for a FPS game I've seen so far, wait for the LMBs if you think I'm wrong here. This game is fun, but it so much better when you play with friends. It's one hell of a FPS MMORPG!

    One of the more rare things to come by in video games, that I don't believe will be replicated for a very, very long time.

    The Division is a beast withing itself. From the first moment you realize the game has started, to completing the missions and venturing deep into "The Dark Zone", I have never played a game where I am constantly amazed at facing whatever happens next.

    The Division is a beast withing itself. From the first moment you realize the game has started, to completing the missions and venturing deep into "The Dark Zone", I have never played a game where I am constantly amazed at facing whatever happens next.

    Sure, the gameplay may be a little bit repetitive, but the developers truly spent their time with making sure that each occurrence in this game is unique and interesting, enough so that even though it feels a little repetitive at times, it truly doesn't interfere with my experience. Believe me, the last thing I want is another "destiny" and The Division really does stand on its own.

    But in all seriousness, the reason I gave this game a 9 is because I thought I had seen it all. I thought The Division was just going to be another game I would pass on after playing it for about an hour. But no. I will be joining back in every day just to see what happens next, and I hope to see you there aswell.

    Breakdown:
    Graphics: 10 - This game truly immerses you with the vast details of real life Manhattan.
    Controls: 8 - Controls can feel a little clunky at times, but usually it can be fixed by adjusting the sensitivity
    Story: 8 - Interesting enough that you would want to do everything, but not as immersive as Far Cry 3.
    Gameplay: 9 - Repetitive, but each instance is unique in its own. Enough missions to last a long time.
    Multiplayer: 8 - The Dark Zone is a beast if you are up to the challenge, and can be frustrating at times, but very rewarding
    Immersion: 7 - Game can feel empty, but most story missions can be played with a match-made group.

    Overall: A generous 9, or a Solid 8

    Should you buy? - If you like RPG's, MMO's, or 3rd Person Shooters, Yes. Everyone else, I would wait until it is on sale.    … Expand

The Division however has not only surpassed my dwindling expectations, but it has also restored a considerable amount of faith in Ubisoft as a whole as this is not only a very grand and stunning experience; but it also runs to an exceptional standard especially when compared to their and many other AAA games. Developers Massive Entertainment have simply outshone the publishers and their other internal in-house development teams.

    The game is largely a solo/co-op cover-based shooter in 3rd person with RPG elements. It takes place in a scaled-down but still sizable New York City in several areas and is a grand and atmospheric experience with lots to explore and places to discover. You grind by completing main missions, side missions and other occurrences that pop up to earn XP and there is always plenty of things to do. The loot aspect is also engaging as you try to obtain the best weapons and equipment which can benefit you in battle against the AI or fellow players in the Dark Zone. Each mission has a recommended level to participate in so the game forces you to experience many fringe missions to rank up which enables the player to get the most out of the game instead of trying to rush to the finish. It is incredibly well-balanced.

    Visually; the game looks stunning - I am running this on an ageing GTX770 on high settings and not only does it still look amazingly detailed; I was happily running this at a consistent framerate just shy of 60fps throughout. I experienced no lag, stutters or drops which is an absolute testament to the developers in their optimization execution. You don't see this very often especially with Ubisoft and the typcial AAA market these days. The game may not look as remarkable as once seen back in 2013 but it isn't far off and the level of detail and dynamic effects are staggering at times.

    The mechanics in respect to the controls have been implemented superbly too - the cover system works fluently and the movement is absolutely slick. Shooting is also solid and the guns are all varied based on their type and stats. Many developers over the years have expressed their difficulties in developing engines with 3rd person physics - it plagued Rockstar games for years and other teams have struggled to provide the user with clean and fluid controls but Ubisoft Massive have succeeded here on a huge scale.

    Surprisingly, there isn't too many negatives although some players who are rolling solo may find the game a tad repetitive in time. The AI is also iffy at best and whilst they do provide some fierce battles; their behaviour is somewhat questionable. This game is also required to run online at all times although in the period I have been playing; I have only experienced one disconnect - the stability of the Ubisoft servers which have been called into question countless times in the past is actually not an issue which is a surprise despite a day one two hour downtime. The one personal disappointment for me is that the user interface and HUD is quite cluttered and ugly but the latter can be customized in the menu and the menu interface needs a bit of adjusting too from a personal standpoint. Unfortunately; it's not quite as clean and stylish as originally seen back when the game was first announced but on the whole; it's just a minor niggle.

    Overall; The Division has exceeded my expectations on a significant scale that I did no expect. Despite all the murmurings and frustrations post-Watch Dogs in the last couple of years; Ubisoft have finally delivered a solid and sensational experience that is not only polished on an incredible scale; it's almost a generation-defining game. The absence of serious problems and the consistency in which the game runs is also another major boost that rights the wrongs of Ubisoft's bleak recent history. Another remarkable achievement is that this game has zero loading screens in-game which allows you to explore New York above and below ground into missions and other locations without any interruptions whatsoever - this is almost unthinkable in respects to the scale of it. The game is best played with friends but even as a solo player; the amount of content here is sublime and if you're a fan of RPG's and shooters; this is an absolute must buy. Whether you detest Ubisoft or AAA games these days; you have to appreciate the effort and execution of this highly ambitious title as it really puts other games to shame. Whether this is a one-off or if Ubisoft have finally turned a corner remains to be seen but this game has potential to be enjoyed for months and years to come.    … Expand

    Down to its core, the game is underwhelming, very little mission variety, go from A to B and shoot clones of hooded figures, and scavenge for loot until you feel like a conveyor belt worker.

    The solo play is ok, but no challenge, it's always more of the same, unless you pump it up to hard difficulty to feel like it's worth clenching your buttcheeks, but that also gets old fast. The story is..interesting, but still nothing too memorable. You're just cleaning the streets and relive the same patterns like you're the main star in Groundhog Day.

    The map looks bland and quite sterile compared to the trailers in the past, i'm afraid we'll have another case of Destiny with this one.

    The Dark Zone was of little interest to me, but i guess it could be a nice relief from solo grind and boring A to B incursions.

    The loot system is nice and boring at the same time. It all depends on your burnout meter, if you can handle the brief grinding sessions, then more power to you!

    Currently, the 60$ price does not justify the shallow content. If they add more stuff in the future, i hope it's free or at least somewhere in the range of 5 dollars, but something tells me that will not be the case.

    My suggestion: wait several months or maybe an entire year, for the complete edition with all dlcs to come out, maye wait for a sale, because right now this game feels like it's bone dry.

    It's another bland Ubisoft product that still has chance to prove itself. It all depends on the future content.

    Оказывается в игре столько всего, что я до сих пор открываю что-то новое. Главное тут выполнять побочные и такие миссии, т.к. необходимы очки для прокачки базы, которая в свою очередь открывать доступ к новым перкам.
    Вся суть игры расскрывается именно в кооперативном прохождении, в соло проходить миссии очень скучно, и я считаю именно это ее слабой стороной.
    Она гарантированно стоит своих денег, но конечно заранее убедитесь что потянет ли ваше железо картинку (хотя бы на средних, если ниже планка там совсем жутко смотрится) в 40-60 фпс.

    Да и прежде чем судить об игре, рекомендую попросить у кого-нибудь дать доступ к The Division через Share и поиграть часик другой с кем-нибудь. Много негатива вызвали nVidia со своими кривыми драйверами, а пострадала игра, что теперь мы видим п ооценкам пользователей, ну и просто от нелюбителей жанра, не знаю чего ожидающих от ММОРПГ.

    Story is not told straight forward, you need too activly search for it, in my opinion a better experiance where the game don´t spoon feed me. Looting is addicting almost on par with Diablo 3, the cover mechanic is not as good as Gears of war but then again they have    20 hours in.

The graphics are fantastic best I have seen, New York atmosphere is really there (I have only been there once but then again I have watched a bunch of movies based in New York).
    The game is not repetetive at all, it is a copy of New York in a realistic setting we don´t go to jupiter or fight in a jungle. But the big missions do a great job breaking up the world with more exotic locations.
    There is a solid plan for their first year that have been communicated (check youtube). The season pass seems to be worth it. (havent bought it yet since I dont have the cash but I will as soon as I have money)

There are so many small details that makes the game seem that it has been worked on for a while. The combat is solid and I may say that its the best cover third person shooter out there for now. The rest..you kind of need to experience it yourself. It is worth every penny and I recommend that you play this game with friends as the tactical play comes in great in numbers.

    The game has some bad things going for it too but its not game breaking. The character creator is one of the worst things I have seen. There isnt much customization when you first create your character, thankfully you can follow that up with the wide veriety of clothes. But thats pretty much the only thing I would think is terrible. There are no bugs nor hiccups that I have seen.

    This is a great game I think everyone should give a try. Atleast get it on sale cause this is the first AAA title in a long long time that Ubisoft helped in creating that is actually good.

    - REVIEW -

    The Division is a third-person cover-based modern-day Borderlands-esque MMORPG-lite.

    It is not a third-person cover shooter that happens to have a solid RPG component. It is an RPG that happens to have solid third-person cover shooter mechanics.

    If you don't like the idea of having to shoot a boss enemy multiple times in the head, then this is not your game. If you don't like the idea of having to grind levels and loot to beat that "bullet sponge" enemy, then this is not your game (spoiler alert: it's an RPG, if you're encountering bullet sponges, then you're not strong enough, and it's your fault). If you don't usually like RPG-style games, this probably won't change your mind.

    If, on the other hand, you want a fun third person RPG with solid cover-shooter mechanics, good customization options (aesthetic and functional), and an aesthetic that definitely evokes the feel of an apocalypse-ish New York City, circa-2013, then you might just like the game. Calling it repetitive is not unfair, but I find the gameplay thoroughly enjoyable (best cover system I've ever used), so for me it's about as "repetitive" as Borderlands.

    If you played the beta, you pretty much saw what was available. If you liked it, you'll like having some more room to do stuff in the retail version, and a little more stuff to do. If you didn't like the beta, you won't like the retail version (so why did so many of you buy it).

I loved the rpg mechanics, the gun feel, sounds, destroyable surroundings (try shoting bricks, windows, display elements, wood, etc.) Met few nice gamers today and we rocked the dark zone killing rouge agents, mobs, extracting loot, doing few campaign missons.

    All in all the game is very good. It's not perfect (the story is ok but nothing more) and definitely is much more fun with a group of friends (although it's very easy to meet people in the game) but it's a solid 8.5/10. See you in dz.    … Expand

    +Combates tanto PVE como PVP

    -El editor de personajes...
    -Los servidores de Ubisoft no han podido cumplir con el lanzamiento

Seriously if you read some of them, its as if they have a personal vendetta against Ubisoft... if you don't like something, you need to be critical but also objective. You can read how they feel they have been cheated or the information they provide is factually in-accurate. Microtransactions are in the game, they are for visual upgrades only. DLC is paid for but if you have the season pass, it gives you a percentage saving in the long run.

    The game play is a mix of Gears Of War cover shooting with Ghost Recon style "run here, get into cover there" mechanics. The graphics are amazing, they went back to tweek some of the lighting and some other atmospheric details with the day 1 patch, very well done on keeping the game away from an early release and it shows the delays were worth it!

    You are a Division Agent, called upon when the world has collapsed into anarchy. JTF are the games version of NATO and are the martial law. The missions (26 Main) are well put together and have a mix bag of objectives which resolve around a mutated small pox virus being unleashed on Black Friday - very clever and ties in perfectly to the whole current social understanding of the event. Mad rush shoppers spreading the virus as they spend cash and expediting the end times! The game does throw alot of info at you - one review from time.com explains that the game world is always shouting something at you or throwing up some graphic or detail all at the sametime which can be a little disorientating. The side missions are also very engaging and are light relief to the games main missions. Replay on this game is good, want to tackle the encounter from another angle or go vertical - go for it!

    Overall, when considering the release window for this game was very quiet and Destiny being in a shallow pit at the moment, this is the meat on the bones players have been looking for. If your looking for some really good social gaming, this has it. Joined Discord and have met some good people who are all in it for the same reason I am - immersion and a sense of relief from the mundane real lives we live. Who wouldn't want to be part of a group who are called on to save the world!    … Expand

Your teammate "moonwalking" in front of you, seeming to never take cover and shooting with the wrong weapon looking like an action figure. Relogging seems to be the only way to fix this.
    -AI is dumb as bricks. They make poor use of cover, grenades and tactics as a whole. Melee enemies will charge you without support of supressing fire from allies. Headshots don't seem to do much. It could be worse, true, but still disappointing, given the hype surrounding this title
    -"Upgrades" don't seem to follow a logical progression and stats on gear seem to be a little too random. I've gotten green level 7-8 guns that weren't as good as my green quality level 3 Poice M4A1 carbine. All I can say is ?????. It makes things more confusing than they need to be. Being used to min-maxing from other games, I can deal with this shortcoming but it's a little annoying.
    -Lag and disconnects. I experienced a lot of lag and disconnects trying to group up but I expect this will be eventually fixed. Still, annoying that it creeped into release.
    -World feels even more lifeless than it needs to be. I understand about the plague, etc but still there's just something missing. You just don't feel invested in trying to make things better for these people. There is little to tug at your emotional strings. If they'd added some non-combat missions where you care for the sick or something like that it would have at least tried to get you more invested in trying to improve things for these people. A missed opportunity on the part of Ubisoft I think.
    -Hacks. I haven't experienced these myself because I am not high enough level to venture into the Dark Zone but it's basically a hack-ridden gank-fest from everything people have described. It kind of runs counter to the lore of the game. Ultra-top-secret government operatives supposedly working towards a common goal murdering each other in cold blood without penalty for loot? How does that make any sense?

    All in all, it's not a bad game but not great either. The inclusion of microtransactions in the game irks me. We already paid full price for the game and there is a DLC pack that costs almost as much as the game itself. The game hit the top sellers list on Steam and probably on other vendors like GMG, EBGames, etc. Microtransactions were not required to make them any more cash yet they just couldn't resist.

    At this point I can only give it a 5/10. It's ok for short-term fun but I question f the longevity of the game's appeal. It's like a more boring version of Destiny, the other shooter that also tries to be an MMO.    … Expand

    The game try to fit in two categories who are in contrast: it could be a tactical third person shooter but the extremely semplified enemy AI doesn't require extreme coordination to get rid of hordes of standing-by peons shrouded with hoodies and scarfs which, apparently, are made of some mystical material that absorb damage as if you were shooting with a NERF gun. This because the developers felt to blend in MMO or even MMO-RPG elements. But is The division a MMO-RPG? With a poor character customization , both aesthetically (a pool of 8 faces to choose from) and technically (few skills to choose from and no talent system so far), and non existing decisions to be taken , all set in a completely ignorable story in a nearby future, with no particular enemy , or no point in doing what you are doing if not for the sake of doing something, i would say "No". I'd also like to add that there is no way of crouching if not behind cover, no way to crawl, no stealth, no melee attacks,the little interaction with the surrounding (the above stated "crouching behind cover" and thats it) feels clumsy.

    Is this game worth 60€? I feel the answer is negative. The actual state of the game doesn't have the variety that would hook you for more than 20 hours. The developers showed a promising planning for the year to come so maybe the game will gain interesting aspects during the course of 2016. If you are really into this genre of game, although i can't really imagine what genre of game this is, i would suggest to wait for Steam sale or some G2A deal.

    I give this game a 6/10 while hoping that future releases will add contents and variety to what seems a dull game.    … Expand

    Boring game with nothing to do. Like usual with Ubisoft, the launch is terrible and comparing to the E3 2013 trailer, the game is different and not in the good way. It has been visually downgraded, elements of gameplay have been cut etc etc...
    A big disappointment and a waste of money.

    The third person shooting mechanics and the cover system is solid. The world is somewhat small and 1/5 of what the map indicates but is well done if somewhat monotonous.

    The real problem of the game lies with the loot variety and enemy variety there are very very few weapons and only 5 enemy variations you will be fighting for 100s of hours with only one of them with unique mechanics and the others just skin changes.

    Another huge problem the game has is the story it's nearly non existing and told through videos and text you have to gather on the map. You will be wishing the story was as good as Diablo 3 and that is saying a lot (Diablo 3 story sucked).

    PC Port : The optimization is horrible there are a couple game breaking bugs and random disconnections as we all expect from a ubisoft title.

    Conclusion: The game is solid at its foundation but lacks content (in enemies and loot) ,those that played the second beta those are all the enemies and all the weapon variations you will find in the game even in lvl 30.
    I don't recommend the game to anyone at least untill huge content patches optimizations and fixes come out.

    This game is just a cheap cash in that does nothing original. It's just a shallow third person cover shooter with other players and loot (whoop de do). The graphics are good but they pulled a Watch Dogs again, meaning they lied to their consumers. There are microtransactions and plenty of connection problems. Just a overall shallow and cheaply made game for the casual gamers everywhere.

    The Division was a games that promised more than it could actually provide. There was a huge hype train for this game and many people considered it as a "modern" version of Destiny. The gameplay is is very fun for the first couple hours until it becomes very repetitive and the graphics are average and definitely way worse than the graphics we saw in all of the trailers at E3 before the game was released. The combat feels like a generic cover-based 3rd person shooter. The voice acting is not that good and sounds very dull. Even at 30fps, the game still has many frame rate drops on consoles and the open world does not feel that "natural" and feels more artificial and fake. It is pretty empty. The character customization is average but not the best. But players can still look unique among others. The game had a great idea but was put in the hands of the wrong developer which is what my opinion is. So much content is being locked out and put in 3 expansions! However, I have hope that with further updates, this game still has potential to be a great game. But for now, this game needs plenty of improvement. Thank you for reading this review! :)    … Expand

    No bonus gear because vendor is broke or something, support says they are working on it. Not surprised with game with this scope but disappointed. By the time we get the gear it might be below our level except for the appearance gear.
