The AI good, the gunplay is amazing and so are the sounds. 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

    I gave this game a 4/10 3 months ago because the developers have done much to address its problems.
    The first Division is still better and there is still zero plot in this game, but its much better now. Thanks Ubisoft!

    Story mode needed to be rushed through to get to ranking system that matters. DLC took so long to come out the repetition of missions made game stagnant. Glad i didn't buy the season pass.

    This is what the first Division should've been! A much bigger improvement from the first game in every way possible and it will only get better from here. I can see this game becoming even better down the line. There are some small annoying bugs such as the sound, and the fact that armor in this game doesn't mean anything from level 1 - 30.
    But everything else in my opinion is much better!

    The Loot: This game rewards exploration and gunning down enemies with loot, lots of loot. As looter shooters go, this one does what it is meant do with plenty of loot to upgrade and guns dropping off enemies regularly. Why other games that are more frugal with their loot don't take a leaf out of this game. Players want to be rewarded with new, better, shinier items. So give it to us!

Why other games that are more frugal with their loot don't take a leaf out of this game. Players want to be rewarded with new, better, shinier items. So give it to us! Loot is varied and has lots of different stats. So far, I'm very happy.

    Gameplay: I've enjoyed it for the most part. There are times where you get suddenly rushed from a new wave and find yourself in a position where you are just surrounded without being able to do anything. Also the cover mechanic can cause problems at times. Playing alone is very difficult and finding a group through matchmaking can be tricky if you want to complete side missions and events. When everything is working well, you have a good group and you are taking on the main missions or side missions together, it's really fun.

    Technical issues: I have had the game crash about 3-4 times in about ten hours (on PS4 pro) I have also experienced the odd frame rate drop, enemy gliding across the floor, etc... There was also a freeze when trying to examine clans and looking at friends' clans.

    Overall: This is obviously early impressions. I will need to play much more to give a comprehensive endgame review. The gun play is fun. There is enough variety and challenge from the AI to keep things varied. Like I say, some of the ways enemies just appear all around you can make things messy and that doesn't lend itself to the cover based shooter it is trying to be. With a group its really fun. Solo, it can get very frustrating because as you level up things get too hard on your own. There are going to be obvious comparisons with Anthem. I personally prefer this as someone who is keen on creating builds and love looters. This to me is more of a looter. you can see your gear as soon as you pick it up and it drops frequently better stuff. I'd give it an 8 now but potential to get a 9 if the endgame is there.    … Expand

    The Division 2 suprised me totally, after a bit disappointing from the first game. What makes The Division 2 so much better is the fact that Massive Enterainment have listened from the players. I had a lot of fun, but maybe even more if you have friends to play with. This is among the best online games in many years.

    Regardless of how you play it, Division 2 might look like it can be played as a single player, stand alone game, but it cannot. Every bullet you fire has to check with the server to see if you actually hit anything. If you suddenly have a latency issue, suddenly you will die or just miss every shot regardless of accuracy.

    I wanted to love this game. Actually, I do a bit. The gameplay is so fun and I dig the loot but its way to flawed to be enjoyed. I only play PVE. Firstly this is not division 2 its an expansion of sorts. The GPS map sucks - wait til you get to bounties. It will take you 20 minutes to find them and 45 seconds to kill em. Did 5 and I had enough.

Not one of my friends plays this game still so I am stuck solo which is fine but to have enemies spawn literally on top of you is not ideal. Think Ghost Recon was bad where they spawned out of thin air? This game tops that easily. You will have 10 guys come out and there will be no cover? The hell? This biggest pet peeve is the enemies will run 9 times faster than you. How is this part of the game play? You have to run all over this map at the slowest run I have seen since Uncharted but they run like an olympian. Its crashed 19 times in 120 hours. Its a bit repetitive as well. You really have nothing to do unless you like to spend hundreds of hours with terrible RNG for those few pieces of loot that will really do nothing in terms of killing enemies. 7-8 mags of level 499 AR to kill a boss should not be a thing. Still spongy like the first game. Its a buy only in the bargain bin. I wish it was not true but out of my entire clan and 17 personal friends they have all ditched the game and they were huge D1 fans - they got me into it but this installment just stinks.… Expand

    Washington's not as fun as New York, who would've thunk?

    More of the same, but this time there's even more, more of the same - with a meaty end-game that has you shooting and looting until you eventually ask yourself... what am I doing with my freakin' life?

    If you're playing with friends online then there's fun to be had, if you're playing solo... don't.

Graphics are stunning, rivaling Red Dead 2 and perhaps surpassing it in terms of realism, and the best I've ever seen on PS4. Notice that anyone criticizing visuals has yet to offer a better example? I'm a lifelong DC resident of 35 years, and this has been such a joy around every corner - I've taken down bad guys at literally four places of work, which is surreal and amazing at the same time. Yeah, it gets a little repetitive here and there, but not nearly as grindy feeling as the first game, which I never finished. There was clearly so much effort put into this game and it's been just awesome, rivaling Spiderman, Horizon, RDR2, etc. as one of my favorite PS4 games in the last 5 years. I played the whole thing solo and am fired up for the new DLC episodes! It's not perfect, but it is a solid 9 for me. Get some.

    Pros:
    + Amazing graphics
    + DC is brimming with realistic detail and a joy to explore
    + Shooting is fun, fast, and challenging
    + Music kicks in to add that badass feel you want during fights
    + Has that addictive quality so many games lack these days
    + High replay value

    Cons:
    - No stealth
    - Annoying voice acting
    - Forgettable story, characters not fleshed out
    - Always online, no pause button (shouldn't need online if I'm playing solo)
    - Somewhat repetitive. You'll fight bad guys and that's mostly it. But it's always so fun, I don't mind.    … Expand

    This sums up everything Division 1.5
    Same weapons, same skills, same UI, same environment minus snow, same enemies, same level design, after clearing the entire map, its gets captured again. So now you have to do everything again to get a gear with score on it but has lesser damage than the current one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After really losing the will to live with Destiny and struggling to find a game which wasn't Battle Royale based The Division 2 has been a game well worth our collective times.
    We picked up the Division for a fiver at the beginning of the year, and loved that game. I guess getting something way after patches are put in place gave us the better experience. This meant the Division 2 was a launch day purchase.
    Getting to level 30 was an enjoyable experience, then the game flips the crap out of everything and you realise that trip to level 30 was just effectively a glorified training programme, the real fun doesn't begin until you flip, then your specialisations and total level really kicks in, its like having 2 games. The feeling of success when you complete level 30 faced with the fact you have to do it again but this time missions are more involved, with a team of 4 just plain crazy at times.
    for those shouting its too repetitive etc - I'm not sure I could ever get bored with constant gun battles, strafing runs and all sorts of carnage around you. Do I care the story line is a bit weaker than, the first one? NO NO NO - more guns, more bangs and certainly more fun. Loved that this game wasn't given the usual pre release Hype - makes it even more of a special thing.

    The gameplay lag is terrible and its in the design of the game. As soon as you play with other players maybe from other countries far away the latency causes the enemies to teleport all around you and kill you without even knowing where it came from. Id say Anthems engine runs much better regarding connection while playing.

    The other fundamental problem is that the loot you pick up means basically nothing going through the tiers until you reach max tier. There is no reason to invest in something you like because you will pick up something pretty soon which is better.

    This whole endgame thing is actauly fake. It just stretches out the time for you to get to actaully start working on your build when you reach 500+ score gear and guns. Then the real endgame begins. Its all actually just a waste of time getting there.

    I do enjoy playing the game though. The gunplay is great. Skills are much more effective than D1 was. The missions are fun and doesnt feel repetitive. Enemy AI is great. But all this does not make it better than Anthem... Anthem is something new and more exciting.

    I compared it to Anthem because reviewers used D2 to piss on Anthem and I think that is biased and unrealistic with all the points I made here.

    The Division 2 is another copy&paste game after Division 1 without something special. All the new basic mechanics they made in Division 2, Ubisoft could make it in Division 1.

    Despite having a blast slugging through D2 (and consider myself a fan of the original) there is definitely that 'something missing' with this iteration to truly separate it from the new york outing... The Washington based story was just not as impactful for me and sadly the last gen and weirdly plastic looking human characters really took me out of the story experience noticeably marring the quality of the campaigns cutscenes.

    D2 shows me how in future publishers like ubi could truly benefit from allowing their devs time and breathing space to create something far more meaningful and transformative in the ever busy gamespace instead of going for the cash-grab sequels.    … 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.
