    Division 2 is everything a sequel should be, it takes what made the original good and improves upon it. Does that make it a GREAT game? Not necessarily.

    If you liked the first division then you’ll probably enjoy this one too.

    People giving this 9s and 10s need to get their head out of their arses. Red Dead 2 is a 9. God of War is a 9.
    Maybe it’s because fans of shooter looters have been getting nothing but crap these past few months, so the first game that comes around that’s actually decent seems like the second coming of Christ.
    and people giving this 1s and 0s just need to grow up and stop carrying on like pork chops.
    Even fallout 76 for all the flak its coping (and rightfully so I’ll add) is still a 3 or 4. Maybe even a 2 if Bethesda really F****d you over.

    Personally I don’t see myself sticking around for the endgame but it was perfectly adequate time waster. If you’ve got a group of friends that are looking blow some sh*t up together then I’d recommend this game to you. If your a bit sceptical just give the game some time to settle in and pick it up when it drops in price.    … Expand

    The Division 2 is just more of the same. One big expansion pack. Don't give it praise just because Anthem was terrible. There is nothing new, fresh, or exciting about this game; nothing that cements it as a legitimate sequel. It's a whole lotta been there, done that.

    Loved The Division 1 and played through it a few times.

    I like that TD2 gives us more missions and stuff. But I hate that the game is basically unplayable in single player mode. It's just too hard. You pretty much need to play with other people all the time.

    Overall, it’s not hard to see how much potential The Division 2 has. Sure, it’s a good game, but with the proper care, it could be the best game of the year… should the developers decide to fix the easily avoidable bugs that cause major inconveniences. With a fitting plot, marvelous war mechanics, and tons of lore, The Division 2 is about as good as an RPG-Shooter can get. But please Ubisoft, for the love of god, fix the little things. It’s early, you still got some time to redeem yourself!

You never make bad games. Most of the times, we, the gamers, take everything as granted..Most of the times, the games are actually mediocre and in my opinion it is because most the time you overdo it.
    Division 2 is a very looking game with a setup that I love (this post apocalyptic realistic universe) and quite a big map with lots of main and side missions. The gameplay is well crafted for multiplayer encounters but this is all the good things I can say about it.
    In rest, it is just a basic game.. no single player investment because the story is similar to any racing game: forgettable characters that need to do the same 'races' against stronger and stronger opponents. No feeling of progress except the equipment but still, microtransactions. Nothing really new.. we already saw all this in Division 1, just with more expectations so it felt wrong. Now, suddenly everyone likes it.. only because multiplayer was nice. But what abut singleplayer.. That is why I choose other Ubisoft games like AC.
    One more thing..in a way, I feel that the basic difficulty (story) is too difficult. I know, I am not good enough :) but still, I would like to experience the story on my own without any multiplayer help in a smooth way if I choose to. I died at least once in almost all side quests that one level higher than my player and this is not how it should be. It just means the casual gamer will not find this game pleasant. I get it to be difficult in the main campaign but the side quests?
    Overall, I am not impressed. I wanted to give this game a 7, but thinking that is Ubisoft .. that made games like Farcry and AC more pleasant for the casual gamer, so I cannot recommend it. All the full time multiplayer gamers don't need this review to decide to buy this game so there you go. Think about it more like a 6.5 :)
    Nothing to do here. It is more fun to watch reviews about it than to actually play it.    … Expand

Instead of scaling the coop partners towards the squad leader, every enemies is scaled towards the highest level player. This puts lower level players at an unfair disadvantage because higher level players will breeze through the missions with booth stats and experience on their side while the lower level players have neither and often end up dropping within a split second of exposure. Other then that, the missions themselves provide some nice challenges and are varied enough to not feel like a grind.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This following review is more for people who care about their appearance more than the gameplay and mechanics, since those are more than fine.
    My main issue is that my character's appearance changed and I don't see them having the intention on adding the full on customisation anytime soon, which is kinda ridiculous, seeing as they are charging real money for premium credits in turn of being able to buy apparel and sh*t.
    It definitely is an improvement of the first one, but this bug is game breaking to me. My character looks like a neanderthal and it's ruining my personal gameplay.
    I don't give a sh*t if it's kind of a harsh rating, but I'm seriously pissed off and I do not recommend anyone buying it (people who care about their character's appearance that is) until this issue got fixed. The support is also full of sh*t since they messaged me and told me that they were going to fix it as soon as possible, but when reading recent patch notes they said that the full on customisation won't be coming any time soon which f*cked me right off. It's already in the game and they act as if it's the hardest thing to add onto the white house base of operations. Seriously incompetent in my opinion, one of the worst within the last year including the disappointment that Fallout 76 was. Wildlands was great compared to this, very unfortunate, I was looking forward to this game only to have my experience ruined by some amateur mistake.
    Was gonna give this maybe an eight 8/10, but that's not happening, lmao.    … Expand

    Let me lay it out from my perspective, starting with the bad:

    The Bad: 1. A lot of grinding, and it is not rewarding. 2. Looting is not rewarding. 3. Crating random gear is not rewarding. 4. Complex and confusing gear system; some lower-level items are better than higher-level items and nowhere is it explained why. 5. Soundtrack not as good as the first game; kept asking myself,    Let me lay it out from my perspective, starting with the bad:

    1. A lot of grinding, and it is not rewarding.
    2. Looting is not rewarding.

    4. Complex and confusing gear system; some lower-level items are better than higher-level items and nowhere is it explained why.
    5. Soundtrack not as good as the first game; kept asking myself, "where is the music?"
    6. Players are forced into repeating the same missions for the same item to craft some gear, and in the end -- that's right -- it's not worth it.
    7. Grinding for secrets, ie the Owl thing, and getting a huge disappointment in the end. Yay!
    8. Story and factions are forgettable; while I was playing, I kept thinking of the factions in Division 1.
    9. Dark Zone.... *sigh*

    The Good:
    1. Insane level of detail; graphics are amazing.
    2. Level design overall is fun.
    3. Shooting and attack system is enjoyable.
    4. The heroic mode for levels is the way this game should be played.
    5. Tactics and strategy system to finishing levels is very enjoyable.

    Unfortunately, the negatives always outweigh the good. The grinding for gear and looting is what I found the most ridiculous thing in the game. And there is a lot of grinding to finish the daily missions too, let alone to get good gear; try fining the gold necklace -- hint: you won't find it even after a week of searching.

    Washington DC is beautiful, as expected from the engine. But it's still a city of locked doors and samey landscapes, unfortunately.

No Times Square shootout, no good personal stories to be found and traced.    Washington DC is beautiful, as expected from the engine.

    In fact, the main campaign and the sidequests are worse than in the first game. There is more shooting and more shooting (did I mention more shooting) but quite a bit less story. No Times Square shootout, no good personal stories to be found and traced. Fewer echoes, seemingly, too.

    Another thing The Division 2 severely lacks is the proper power fantasy (well, so did the first game, . but I'm reviewing the second one here). You grow up in levels and gear score, but the game stays relatively the same - one headshot for a basic enemy, a few mags for an elite, twice the ammo supply of the entire squad (in headshots, no less) for an elite bounty tank on the highest difficulty (and what an entertaining 10-15 minutes it is... not). Your skills have pretty long cooldowns and aren't particularly gamechanging, but you always die in a few hits because the game helpfully progresses the world tier and the enemy levels to always keep you challenged. There is little flair in everything too. Diablo or even Borderlands this game is not.

    What remains is a competent (but aggravatingly bugged as of March 29th) game. It doesn't crash and you rarely get stuck, but there's a truckload of small things - tutorial voice lines being played every time you leave a group and enter base of operations, interact key in some situations being hard bound to F regardless of your preference (but not all the time, for that would be consistent). Some items being unreachable unless you consumed the content in the right order, et c. It's an AAA product with a paid public hype demo called a "beta" for some reason.

    One may be tired of playing Warframe, Destiny, Anthem or whatever else, but Division 2 doesn't bring enough content and variety to justify a full price yet. Maybe in a year or two, with extra DLCs, assuming there is a player base still.    … Expand

    Good action, nice balance. Gets better with friends, but can easily be played alone. Nothing overly groundbreaking, it just does what other games do, but a bit better. A good romp.

    Can have some truly grand firefights.

But then you hit world tier 5 and there isn't much more to find here - only an endless exhausting grind loop doing the same missions in the same locations over and over again. A lot more bugs have appeared over time, bugs that have a significant impact on the experience overall. If the game was done by world tier 5 I would gladly say I got my money's worth, and then some. It would be a 8.5/10. But since this is a live service game it has to be scored as a live service game. Also note that the base game isn't the full game, it's a scaled down version of the full game. The gold edition with the year pass is. So if you don't want hideous grind walls to unlock a specific class (gunner) or wait for the content that is being delayed 'cause you didn't get the year pass, well... you are probably better of with the year pass. All things considered: The slow but steady decay and the monetization of this game just lowers the score significantly. Until you hit that wall there is a lot fun to be had here though and that experience alone is worth your money.… Expand

    RETURN OF THE SPONGES. Great game seriously plenty to do despite the missions being on repeat. However all the hype by Ubisoft about no more enemy's that absorb bullets like water. Well they didnt really make it that way, enemy's are still sponges however this time its their armour that absorbs bullets all be it not as much as the first one. Still a good game though.

    Al ser un videojuego de mundo persistente, es difícil hacer una critica definitiva.
    El juego está y estará en constante evolución hasta que Ubisoft lo decida.

    Pero si se percibe un juego que sacaron con demasiada precipitación, por no decir inacabado.
    Lleno de bugs, algunos de ellos graves. En resumen, solucionan un error pero salen tres mas.
    Y así a sido desde su salida hasta el día de hoy. Aunque, hay que decirlo, se nota el esfuerzo de Massive por tratar de complacer a la gran mayoría con cambios, algunos de ellos oportunos.
    ¿No hay modos de juego re-jugables como lo fueron Subterraneo o Supervivencia?

    No, no los hay. Y no los habrá ¿Por qué? Por que el juego todavía se encuentra en su primera fase. Vamos, que todavía no hemos visto el final definitivo del juego principal. Esos modos de juego o falta de contenido del que tanto se queja la gente, vendrá, pero en forma de DLC.

    En fin:
    El apartado visual es bueno y la recreación de los monumentos de Washington D.C son notables.
    Se percibe en todos los rincones el estilo grecorromano.

    A diferencia del 1 con las misiones llamadas "Incursión", aquí se incluyen "Raids" que otorgan "Loot" especial que no se puede conseguir en el mundo haciendo misiones "normales". Por cierto, en estás "Raids" no hay "Matchmaking". Y para poder hacerlas tendrás que conseguir, por tus propios medios a jugadores que deseen hacerla. Con lo cual, a mi parecer, a sido una de las decisiones mas estúpidas.

    Y no hay nada mas que decir. ¿Adictivo? Si, y demasiado.
    Por lo demás, es un The Division 1 pero en otra ciudad, así de fácil.    … Expand

If this game came out 10 years ago, I wouldn’t think it’s that bad, but today, I find this game so uninteresting that I don’t have the words for it. The environment isn’t that exciting, the world itself feels super empty, the lore feels like they barely tried, and mix that with some really bland shooting gameplay where you dump all of your ammo into a bullet sponge enemy running around in a tank top, and there isn’t much there. It’s possible to have some fun for a couple hours due to the loot system, but it just boils down to slow marginal improvements. It’s a lot less bad when played with friends, but there are far better options out there.… Expand

The sequel has a lot less spongy enemies, a better loot system, and a crazy amount of content available.

    The environments are very detailed and help prevent the missions from feeling too repetitive. Of course, all these missions involve you going to a place and killing a ton of enemies while pressing square a few times throughout. But the guns felt great, and the skills were really fun, so I happily played through the main "story" up until the same exact locations were being recycled for new missions, only with "tougher" enemies. That's when you really have to play co-op unless you want a tedious challenge.

    The Division 2 is at least as good as its predecessor, but it doesn't really do anything new.

I still love the vast and well-designed inventory, the large array of weapons and their personalization, the beauty of the open world (Washington DC is well represented), and of course the fact it is made to be played with 3 friends. It's a must have for coop lovers, just like the first iteration. It's extremely addictive and despite its defaults, it for sure made me want to get that best exotic weapon and to complete everything that is completable. On the things I also liked, I noted a pretty large endgame and the servers that have never shown any problem. The fact that the updates of year 1 were free is also a good point.

    Gameplaywise, the game benefits from a few improvements and new features here and there, but basically, it remains the same thing as the first game. A thing I don't really like in this game is that more emphasis was put on the different factions of the game than on the actual sickness itself. I think that using this virus thing to create a tense and interesting atmosphere could have been done way better. I found the same problem in the first game, but I feel it's more severe here. The story wasn't that interesting, I would have really liked it better if an emphasis had been put on the actual sickness more than on the "villains". Even the collectibles failed to convince on that regard. This can sound dumb, but take Control's collectibles for example, they are adding value to the story of the game and motivate you to read them, even though they are basically text with missing words!

    Same goes for the Darkzone. In The Division 1, I really could feel the tension that goes with it, but in TD2, I kind of missed that feel. Is it because I am not new to the franchise or because they made it less good? A bit of both I guess. To add on the Darkzone, I regret the fact that looting there has almost no point since it doesn't bring any exclusive or highly interesting item in comparison with the regular story. The result is that when you go to the Darkzone, you don't really have any particular interest to grind for.

    Another default of this game is the quality of the sound, the gunshots of the vast majority of the weapons feel stale, and there is a TON of sound bugs. Sometimes I wouldn't hear the sounds of the open-world anymore, sometimes only the voices or gunshots, sometimes nothing at all, and the worst is that sometimes I would hear that constant high-pitched noise.

    Still on the negative side, I really hate the competitive PvP playlist. It is not balanced at all. I understand that players who grinded for a good loadout have to be advantaged somehow, but the way they did it for this basically results in competing in a deathmatch where the beginner can throw rocks while the extreme majority of opponents (since the game isn't new) destroy newbies with their insanely powerful guns.

    Nevertheless and to conclude, I can confirm this game will keep coop shooter players happy for a good amount of time and that their money will be worthily invested considered how low its price currently is.    … Expand

    This is Division 1.5 AT BEST and same-old-crap at worst. The story is just as bad. The gameplay loop is just as repetitive & honestly off-putting for most people who have no idea how looter-shooters work. Trust me, a lot of people are new to this especially to console players. it is super difficult to learn and remember all the mechanics and every single feature this game offers when it is super un-intuitive. Tutorial is horrible, many missions wont even trigger when you want to play solo, and some on-map actives would just disappear while you are on the way to get there. GPS breaks every 10 min too. The whole "liberated zones" is pointless when enemy AI can capture zones back instantly after you die. So does that mean gamemap resets or somehow moves time ahead every time I die in free roam? The hold-button for this action things are also tiresome. It's just a shame that nothing really important was improved on Division 2 compared to 1. Yes you can get now 4th weapon and specialised classes, yes now gadgets are more interesting but is it really that hard to improve simple but super important mechanics like .... JUMPING? Or decent cover system? Just copy Uncharted! Or any other game that figured it out years ago. The number of clutter UI and HUD is also messy. I dont know what I was expecting from Ubisoft, but I guess they learn very slow.

Полазил в темной зоне, эта часть игры мне не понравилась. Но общие впечатления от игры остались положительные.
    И вот вышла The Division 2. Конечно ждал. Но разочарование начал чувствовать уже в демке.
    Игра не изменилась, на мой взгляд, вообще от слова совсем!
    Ниже опишу то, что лично мне показалось отличным от оригинала.
    В игре поправили шутерную часть, чуть чуть. Улучшили, наверное, картинку (играл в обе игры на PlayStation 4, разницы не заметил совсем). Добавили в игру какой то бесполезный крафт, (пол игры просто собираешь всякий лом, сумки и т. д.).
    Сюжета как не было так и нет.
    Сеттинг разрушенного Вашингтона мне не понравился, всё какое то зелёное, весёлое. За что воюем? Жратвы в избытке она растет на каждой ветке, да что там растёт, благодаря этому крафту еда буквально валяется под ногами. В Нью-Йорке чувствовалось, что борьба идёт за выживание, так как зима и жрать нечего.
    Прокачка оружия стала какая то ватная. Если в первой части я точно знал какое оружие я хочу, за чем и чем я его качаю. Здесь же у оружия изначально столько разнообразных, иногда просто не понятных каких то дополнительных фишек, что глаза разбегаются и чем выше класс оружия тем больше этих фишек. Какая фишка за что отвечает понять трудно, чем одна лучше или хуже другой, хз. Только начинаешь улучшать одно оружие, как находишь более прокачанное. Для чего качал? Оружия какая то уйма, думаю не меньше чем в Borderlands. Зачем?
    Да появились всякие блокпосты которые надо захватывать, какие то секретики и допки (не помню были ли они в оригинале), короче всякая мелочь.
    Все прочие изменения чисто косметические.
    В общем игра, ну лично для меня, не показала ничего кардинально нового. Да мне было интересно играть в это в 2016м, но в 2019м опять играть в тоже самое, при том более растянутое.....не интересно.
    Резюмирую.
    Понятие: "тех же щей только гуще" работает только с играми премиум класса, такими как BioShock. Так как игра Division достаточно нишевая, это не сработало. Атмосферу убил цветущий Вашингтон и да, чуть не забыл, теперь в игре 80% всех врагов и дружественных нпс это бабы. Ёлы палы это уже не война, а войнушка какая то. Ну как женский бокс, смотреть смешно, но воспринимать всерьёз, невозможно.
    Мне скучно погружаться в этот маразм. Очень скучно. И кажется серия скатывается в канаву к той же Ghost Recon.
    Может если бы не было оригинальной The Division этот сиквел бы и выстрелил. Но он был. И с этим ничего не поделать.
    Очень жаль серию.    … Expand

    Tom Clancy's The Division 2 has thrown its hat into the ring for being a possible 'Game of the Year' contender for 2019. The post-apocalyptic Washington D.C. is such an eerie site to see, and Agents can roam around solo or in groups to complete missions and earn better loot to upgrade their characters. With more content well on the way, the base game is still packed with heaps of stuff to do - and the huge variety in gear types and stat boosts, modifications, and skills means that 1000+ hours can easily be put into this title over the course of the year. The only bane to these sorts of titles is the 'always-online' internet connection that is required, which does remove some parts of the gaming population from being able to play it, unfortunately.

    The Division 2 is easily the best of its type; it has the right balance of fun, challenge, dopamine loot drops, and sweet graphics that all but guarantee I’ll be playing this one for a long, long time to come. If you haven’t jumped in yet and think this might be for you, hesitate no longer - Ubisoft has absolutely nailed it the second time around.
