    90% of this game is inventory management. If you thought the first one was fun the second will disappoint. Where end game was the start in division 1, end game is really the end of division 2. Rewards does not match the grind at all.

    I love this game! She is so exciting and epic! Many different modifications of the weapon, and the weapons themselves are many. There are drones, mines and stuff on the Q E buttons. But sometimes there are problems with crashes, the game just lag and game crash out a lot, but probably these are already problems with my computer.
    that's all. (Maybe my English a bad, sorry.)

    Really solid looter with an abundance of content and great gun play. A few bugs here and there but nothing like the first. Overall super enjoyable and addictive game. It seems like this maybe a looter shooter that finally gets the formula right.

    This game is far superior then the first. The endgame is epic in scale and not once I felt bored playing through campaign. Of course the game have its bugs and glitches, but that did not derail my immersion throughout the game.

    All and all, a solid game live service game.

    I have tried the beta and preordered the game but after more than 8 hours of gameplay I wish I liked it so much. I can see there is no end to this repetitiveness. I get it Ubisoft. 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.

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

    This game is what I wanted from the first The Division, they really listened to the community. There are a lot of missions, it has a good End Game instead of other games (you know what game i'm talking about.), there are a lot of bosses and enemies and the A.I. is really good.

    Solid game. The fights are harder, I feel accomplished when I finish a mission. Maybe the fights can drag on a little long, a few too many reoccurrences of "more enemies approaching," but that's what makes it fun. The enemy AI is good. I wouldn't change a thing.

There's a bit more strategy needed than D1. Sometimes the lighting effects feel too extreme. When it rains I can't see anything and basically just stop until it runs its course. The sunsets are blinding. While these do keep with the realities of the real world, after the first few times it just impedes play and the aesthetics are lost. There is a wonderful ease to match up with other players. Makes it enjoyable, makes the world feel full. The roaming mobs feel a little too on top of each other. It's annoying to fight one mob and have another spawn behind you and join the fight. I've run out of ammo quite a few times just fighting mobs. Anyway, this is just after around 10 hours of play. I'm hopeful. Hope there's plenty of PVE content for end game. Because I don't play games enough PVP is for really dedicated players, otherwise it just feels frustrating. Hope I can get the same loot from PVE as those can who play PVP.… Expand

    I ve played The Division 1 but never reached late game back then. Still the game impressions took me at surprise and so I wanted to be dedicated to Division 2 from Day 1 on. After a good 20-30 hours of gameplay I do not regret my decision. The game looks nice, playing on PS4 Pro I never had any crashes or slow downs after the early patches. Graphics have some pop-in issues that could be resolved but overall it looks decent. The cosmetics are awesome and seeing the loot develop my characters appearal is great!

    The atmosphere is done right. It feels a bit like Walking Dead even, might be a strange comparison to some but it was the first thing that came to my mind. The city looks nice, there are lots of jobs to do and many settlements to develop. Loot is everywhere and the progress of loot is according to the players level, leaving not much to complain for. The sound is decent. Weapon sounds are gorgeous. I like the OST but it could be a bit more intense sometimes. It still suits the atmosphere very well.

    I m around level 18. Perk and skill unlocks are well progressed. I was able to do every job, quest, bounty solo so far. Some assaults are hard and a bit grindy but it works out if you do it tactical. Some bugs have to be resolved around popping in enemies around the player. But I did not encounter many bugs at all so far. Ubisoft did a good job at early patching.

    Coop with friends is done easy and works well. Fast travel and some quality-of-life implementations help to enjoy The Division 2 quite a lot. The game gets grindy at times but I guess thats what you buy with a loot shooter. Still hopping between the different mission types helps to soothen the problem and always brings cool new story locations up which are really fun and I have to give Ubisoft a thumbs up for those. The loading times are okay so far. I think they tried their best on the graphics. The PS4 pro sounds at least as it is at its peak trying to dish out the graphics.

    For people who enjoy looting and a bit of grinding combined on a solid solo or coop shooter, they will not be disappointed with The Division 2 I think. For sceptics I would wait a bit for a drop of 20-30% in price. At least the 69.99 price tag on the PSN seems to much. 40-50 is deserving for this blockbuster shooter. Enjoy your time, agents!

    What has to be -for me- done for a 10/10?:
    - Stop overpricing. 69.99 is already high, the gold and ultimate editions are ripoffs imho
    - Push the graphics a bit in terms of sharper textures
    - Reduce the loading times a tiny bit
    - Some minor AI glitches should be improved
    - I feel the story is nice but it fades away in between the grinding which is a bit sad
    - Some missions should be a bit rebalanced, e.g. Supply Drops, which are really hard for solos    … Expand

I'll play it until something good comes along, but won't waste my money on the cash shop or further character appearance options.

    Division 2 is more of evolution than a real revolution. That's not a bad thing since many players of Division 1 were just hoping for that. Despite some bugs and glitches the game is much fun – especially when playing with friends. What I don't like is new UI – it's just ugly and unpolished. And the loot and crafting system hasn't improved a bit, rather the contrary.

Weapons feel good, TTK is a bit on the higher side, but just at a point where enemies don't feel too spongy. However level scaling when playing coop is a bit off. 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.

Loot is more interesting. Content is plentiful and you can always loose yourself in side activities. Gun play is fantastic, every gun feels different and has it's own perks and drawbacks. The enemies are more intelligent and cohesive, they will push, flank, and try to force you from cover. Learning when to retreat and picking the right cover is imperative to success. For a tactical loot based shooter, these guys have nailed the concept. Which is great because with such a solid foundation they can start putting out content to improve the game and round it out. Some of the planned content like 3 new classes, 8 man raids, and the release of exotics there's plenty to look forward to. The best news is all that content is coming for free. It's not packaged in DLC or extras. You can gain access to it early if you'd like to pay for the year 1 pass but you will receive the content (aside from a new 8 mission story) for free. THANK YOU!! You don't have to segregate the community through paywalls, that's a much appreciated take on content delivery that has been very rare as of late. We the community are tired of not being able to play a game with our friends once a DLC launches because not everyone wants to buy the content you've released. I will likely be purchasing the content just because I am enjoying it so much but I love that my friends don't have to buy it to continue to play the full game with me.

    Don't get me wrong there are some bugs and QOL problems that need addressing but those are easily overlooked when your game is as complete as this. They'll get em fixed and we will all go about our marry face shooting day.

    The game is great and upcoming content will only make it better, it's gonna be a fun ride.    … 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:

    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, "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.

    Conclusion: 5 out of 10 is generous.    … Expand

    This game works. Yes there is the occasional bug, sound glitch and so on. But i judge this game on the overall experience and i have to say it is a work or art and dedication. They literally too what worked from D1 and added some into D2. Its not often you get a complete open service/ gaas game and you know UBI will support. Fantastic work!!! Can't wait to see where things go from here.

    Submerging the player in a gorgeous graphical post-apocalyptic landscape of Washington DC; as well as affording players real freedom of choice to pick and choose over a multitude of different activities and missions; few enough RPG based games have offered such player control over the way they wish to level up as the Division 2 aptly does.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Division 2 is not only the best "looter shooter/shared world MMO" to release yet but is a pristine example of how a game launch should go.

    This statement sounds decisive but is objectively true. I'll explain why below

    1. The gun play is better than Div1 and is an overall blast to play- shots feel punchy and recoil feels good
    2. Div2 enemy AI is great. They will talk to eachother, flank you, act aggressive when you are trying to heal, and use their abilities in tandem with one another. The enemy factions each play different too. One faction may be super aggressive always pressing you and pushing you back while others may be more tactical.
    3. The game is nearly bug free. I never experienced a crash or bug at all, the frames never dipped, i never got stuck in a tree- it was great. Sure it's not 100% perfect but it was polished and strong at launch (a thing too rare these days)
    4. The game is generous with loot. You'll find tons of varied and awesome gear doing any of the activities on the map. This game is far more rewarding than even Borderlands and that makes its already enjoyable missions even more fun
    5. The world map is big, detailed, fun to explore, and looks awesome.
    6. There is a ton too do. Main missions, side missions, world activities, dark zone, and more standard PvP. The variety on display here is impressive and at launch Div2 boasts more varied activities than Destiny 2 after multiple DLC updates
    7. The micro-transaction system is non intrusive, and kinda hard to find. All you can buy is clothes and clothes are already easy to get in the normal game so its really optional and a prime example of how such a system should function.
    8. It is easy to find a squad in this game. Takes all of 5 seconds
    9. In Div1 the enemies were bullet sponges- this isn't the case in Div2- you can shoot armor off exposing weak points making them enemies easy to bring down. No matter if it's a boss or just enemies on hard mode- nothing ever feels like a bullet sponge.
    ----This is just some of the great things about this game---

    THE STRONGEST POINT OF THIS GAME IS THIS: THE END GAME IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!
    Once the game proper ends and you reach the end game a totally new faction appears and invades the areas liberated during the main game. You then have to do these totally new missions to unlock better world tiers and better loot. You are not repeating the same missions with the same enemies (with larger health bars)- you are experiencing an entire new game. They saved half of the content for the end game and this is AMAZING. I have never seen a looter shooter focus so much on the end game before. Once you cap your level you still have 50+ hours of new content to go through.

    I've been so impressed with this game. I was honestly gonna skip it after being let down by Destiny 1, Destiny 2, Division 1, and recently Anthem- but then I figured I was already too deep to quit now. I expected another weak launch, short end game, lack of content, bullet sponge ridden mess of a game. I can say with pride that I was wrong on every account. Good job Ubisoft!    … Expand

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

In this game, you actually need to be tactical; no longer can you run straight into a group of enemies with MC invulnerability and clear a whole room. You'll need to think about where you want to set up, what perks you will take and finally realize that maybe you should make a friend or two and get them in on this action!

Everything, except for one glaring problem, has been amped up and the mechanics from the first game have been improved, albeit only somewhat, from the original. While some could argue that very little in the gameplay has actually changed from the first game, what they have done is refined a lot of the stuff from the first one to give the player a bit more choices in how they go about their business here. It's especially evident in the endgame as that has been totally overhauled. With 8 person raids on the way, the decision to leave the last, and most impressive, faction for the endgame was a smart choice as it really keeps things from feeling monotonous. I loved how the world constantly shifts and changes once you hit 30 and have completed the main story. it feels like there's always something to do to get the bigger and better gear. My main concern is with the story or lack thereof. If you don't find any of the collectible phones that try to give the enemies you face a backstory, then the game literally does nothing to explain who each faction is and why they're there. If you thought the first game was sparse on story, this game is almost devoid of any story development whatsoever. Its a shame because there's a ton of potential here that they clearly left some room for a good story to happen. However none of it is ever explained even in the slightest detail and makes the enemies you face just cannon fodder.
    With all of the online loot shooters that have released recently, Division 2 has done the most of them all to entice people to play it from day 1. And you won't have to worry about waiting to see what the developers do to fix the game, like with Anthem and Fallout 76. There's a bright future with D2 and I'm glad I went with it. I just hope they include even a little story in the DLC.    … Expand

    Alas, Anthem will get blasted because it has a "mediocre" story that compared to The Division 2, is miles ahead in terms of quality.
    If you have played The Division 1 then you have played The Division 2 without even having to purchase it. Simple as that. You will have fun for a while, which is the same for any game until you realise you just spent full AAA title price on an expansion that should have added to The Division 1. On release where you would expect there to be tons of players online, the world felt pretty lonely. Only having the company of some bland NPC's. Even in the Hubs, I expected to see players everywhere but there was not one. Matchmaking took forever, I don't know if this is a bug or if people actually play the game instead of watching 1 or two other people play it on twitch and then think they can review the game based on someone else's opinions.

    I haven't seen the end game, so I'm holding off on giving the game a ten for now.

    I play mostly solo, and I'm very surprised by how much I enjoy this game. I did not really enjoy division 1 at launch, and purchased this game after my friends recommended it. It's come a long way.

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

    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.    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

    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.

    Let's get the elephant out of the room. The Division 2 plays better than Destiny 2. While Destiny has extreme jumping, The Division has extreme tactics. You can win many fights with good positions and smart use of special abilities. My favorite special is a turret that acts a second player when I am running through missions solo. Pop that turret on a tall structure before a fight and watch it take out low level enemies and do some considerable damage to high level enemies. A team can wipe out an army with good planning and positioning.

    The Division 2 also has better a.i. than Destiny. The a.i. is still not very smart, and enemies will always choose to run suicide missions in small groups as part of the game play. Compared to Destiny, though, you never see the a.i. running backwards up stairs or refusing to engage beyond a predetermined zone. Bosses in the Division have way too much health, but none are given a one-shot attack or an area of effect boss stomp.

    Matchmaking in The Division 2 works great even a year after release. The middle-game missions can be difficult to find players. People buy into the game for $3 like I did and then stop after a few hours. Anyone who keeps playing will focus on the end-game. Reaching the endgame opens up players to the ultimate joys of matchmaking and playing with a group at a moments notice for any activity. This was great for me because I bought into The Division 2 so late that none of my friends are playing it anymore. (The upside to paying full price at launch is enjoying all the millions of people who are playing at the same time and same level as you.)

    Visually, the game is appealing. UI elements are plenty but well placed to not take up too much of the screen. The setting is an excellent 1:1 recreation of the Washington D.C. area. If you have been there, it will feel familiar. My one complaint is the amount of trash, totes, fences, and other junk littering the area. Surely there would be garbage in the streets during an Apocalypse, but the people of D.C. would have to truck in garbage from out of town to junk up a city so much. The game also has no driving sections despite the streets littered with abandoned cars. (Maybe driving will be in The Division 3.) Fighting in museums and historical landmarks is at times clever, and I appreciate the thought that went into the design of this game. I would love a tourist mode like Ubisoft had in Assassin's Creed: Origin.

    Now the bad. I don't like all this leveling. In the early game, you have to level-up to take on new missions. I was utterly bored early on with little in the way of guns and abilities and playing a generic third person cover shooter. As new abilities and weapons open up, the tactical game takes form. In the mid game, the joy of playing to outweighs the drudgery of inventory management. The end-game has more leveling up, and numbers go as high 600 for "gear score". This is the same idea as light level in Destiny, and as with Destiny, the numbers are meaningless as enemies scale with the player. This is where the drudgery of inventory management starts to outweigh the joy of playing. The game becomes a hamster wheel of finding higher level gear, dismantling old gear, and repeat.

    The missions have a few set pieces that bridge the divide between a quality of Call of Duty campaign and a generic defend the hacking process from Destiny. The missions eventually become generic kill lower level enemies before killing a boss. By end game, The Division 2 has run out of new areas to fight it, and you fight new enemies in old areas. The lack of vehicles is a hindrance, and you never have the diversity of gunning from an APC or dropping from a helicopter. These limitations are endemic to this genre of games and why a Division or a Destiny will never be as good as a Halo or a Call of Duty.

    Some caveats. As mentioned, I bought this game for $3. A lot of people bought it for $3 from PSN or perhaps less as a used title from Gamestop. Before I bought this, the only Division in my life was the beta for The Division 1. I hated the bullet sponge enemies. This is a Tom Clancy game and Tom Clancy means realism. I 100% believe that The Division would be better as true tactical shooter, but after 5 and 1/2 years of shenanigans in Destiny, I am more forgiving of shenanigans in The Division. That being said, I will only go so far playing The Division 2, as the hamster wheel is only so fun for so long.    … Expand

Even if you don't touch all the high tier endgame content there's still an enjoyable campaign to get through and a rewarding loot-progression system to accompany it. None of the time you spend playing this game feels wasted because you're constantly earning new items and loot. (unlike Destiny 2).

    To dicuss The Divsion 2, one has to understand looter-shooter as a genre. If you're looking for epic story like god of warFallout(before), you wont get it here. This genre is about the sense of progression gained by the constant stream of MEANINGFUL rewards. Think of this game as a TPS DiabloPath of Exile set in realisitic America, then you'll get the picture.

    Division 2 is a very correct step towards the "game as service" model, and I think Ubisoft is really redeeming themselves by pushing out solid games like this and the constant maintenance of them.    … 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.
