    Very buggy release. A lot of NPCs are not able to be spoken to when I played. Laggy in places as well on PS4 pro.

    This is a honest review after putting in countless hours into the Division 1 and 2, and now the expansion. After the disaster that was Breakpoint they really should have delayed the Warlords of New York expansion, but corporate has to hit that fiscal deadline, alas here we are.

    The pop in for textures and graphics is abysmal to be blunt. Often times while you traverse New York, textures won't load, polygons with pop up everywhere, and audio drop in certain areas while in combat is still persistent. Bravo to the developers working tirelessly to correct these downplays but that doesn't negate the fact that they are here.

    As far as story, on day one NPC quest directives could not be accessed. As of the time of this writing the general quest givers have been fixed for me, but others are still reported problems with progressing the main story line. Also I myself, and I can not speak for everyone have experienced problems with resupplying control points, in the words of alternate anti Tom Howard "It just doesn't work." So without being able to supply the control points, I cannot finish certain projects at safe houses, and as I write this it still is a problem.

    The overall level design is great though, and I give credit where credit is due. The boss fights are fairly typical, however every boss is designed with a theme, and those themes are present in each area of the city the respective boss controls, which bravo. Certain encounters however, with named bosses in the sewers create a spooky atmosphere, and almost a horror vibe when you come face to face with a gold named enemy in a place that offers no cover, be warned.

    Lastly the gear system is a welcome addition if only to change up the meta way in which builds are designed. Gear has received a shake up and I welcome builds going forward that offer new and interesting ways to approach encounters. However, most skills and talents have been removed from gear, so a lot of what you had equipped previously is obsolete. So advice going forward is just to equip any and all new items, and watch your stats jump, rather then look for one particular piece of equipment.

    In summary my experience with the DLC has been more or less what you would expect from an addition to the Division 2 game play. The bosses and their areas are fun, the game play loop is intact, and side quests, and shade tech are there to find. However the bugs, the lack of any new mode, and my personal gripe with not being to return to play in DC with my friends who haven't purchased the DLC, make the overall experience just average. I rated the experience a five out of ten. It's not a great fantastic overhaul to the game, nor a terrible addition, and once the bugs are ironed out it well be better. But for now if you loved the Division 2, this at a thirty dollar price tag, isn't terrible value for play, but be warned it's not going to change the game completely. If you enjoyed the Division 2 pick it up, if you were hoping for a better game overall, I'd say keep waiting.    … Expand

    It's alright. I quite like the new gear system and I'm enjoying my time back in New York. Haven't had to deal with any of the glitches people have spoken about yet either.

    I just play solo on this so no co-op or pvp. Warlords looks nice with detailed environments much like we expect. Story dialogue blah, blah, blah it's just noise. The base game lasted me a big chunk of time. I spent a couple of weeks on it. This DLC done in a day wow so fast going through those bosses in Warlords. Just more of the same Division 2 experience and pretty unchallenging bosses.I just play solo on this so no co-op or pvp. Warlords looks nice with detailed environments much like we expect.

Though some nice Techo music when the bosses showed up. No interest in the boss skill drops. Still using OG turret and drone to massacre everything. The DLC does add what is an optional side event as in a high rise tower, but that is a copy/paste dull grind.… Expand

    The thing that made division 2 fun, was the power you had, the power that made you a Division Agent. Able to tactically fight off waves of enemies. Survive a battle without using a healing kit and being able to absorb bullets like how games should be. Then came WONY DLC. Story is pretty good with abit of a bait towards the players from the first game but once you reach the end game whereThe thing that made division 2 fun, was the power you had, the power that made you a Division Agent.

Story is pretty good with abit of a bait towards the players from the first game but once you reach the end game where most of the content usually is. You start to feel that you lost the power, maybe you might want to level up abit, thats fine maybe, just maybe you will start to feel that power again but nope the AI's were so strong that it made the game frustrating, the fun you had before WONY is gone. You can still have fun through certain methods like e.g. DMG Glitch. It made the game feel like back before WONY. but thanks to a company you can get banned for doing that glitch thanks to their mistakes but maybe you might enjoy suffering and struggling.… Expand

    Overall this game are fun for the expansion, I play with my brother frequently and we both enjoy the game. It grind but you find the fun for try out different set of skill and different combination of equipment just to improve the way we finish each different mission under different difficulty setting on it.

    Overall, I enjoyed my time with the latest expansion. The level of detail on display is eye dropping, the enemy A.I. is still fun to battle against and most of all the loot just keeps coming. Whether or not I continue to play this expansion in today’s current pandemic with bullet sponge bosses remains to be seen when there’s more distant escapism to be had.

    The return to New York, where everything started, is surely welcomed, but when everything is said and done and the new campaign is over, what we have is more of the same -surely not bad, but just more of the same.

    Warlords of New York won't change your mind about The Division 2. If you weren't a fan of the open-world cover shooter with loot mechanics, the expansion does nothing to convert you, even if the simpler changes to loot stat readouts is appreciated. The return to New York is nice, as is the more open-ended approach to how you get to the final boss, since it gives you some strategy about when you want to get your new toys. The plans for the endgame future are the most intriguing, since we'll get to see whether it'll be enough to get people to stick around. In short, there's enough content in the Warlords of New York DLC to keep fans happy for a little while longer.
