    Better than Destiny.

    Division gets a lot of things right; big and small. The RPG elements and story telling are compelling. Gunplay is superb, most of the time, when the servers are not lagging. There are a TON of things to tinker with, missions to do and stories to unfold. But really, it's the little things that make Division great. How surfaces react when hit by a bullet. How    Better than Destiny.

    But really, it's the little things that make Division great. How surfaces react when hit by a bullet. How lighting changes in the day/night cycle. How weather conditions have a REAL impact on the gameplay. How an enemy getting hit in the nose with the butt of your gun reacts. These are the things that are simply missing from other titles like Destiny.

    There is a certain element of grinding after hitting level 30. Dark Zone is the most innovative PVP arena to date, but in order to excel, you really, truly, have to grind. RNG and frankly, non-intuitive weapon perks make this process frustrating at times, where a high end weapon can be either "just ok" or "absolute beast" depending on the roll of dice.

    On the other hand, that's what makes you go back to killing bosses time and time again.

    If these reviews would include the community, I would have to deduct a point. There are some real **** playing this game: particularly, kicking people from the party in Challenging missions right after killing the boss. If these COD-kids would leave the grieving to the Dark Zone, this game would be top-notch enjoyment.    … Expand

    This game is not a Destiny killer. This game is not a Destiny replacement. Comparisons to Destiny are pointless. You can spend all day wind bagging, but apples are apples and oranges are oranges.

    This game is also terribly misunderstood. This game is not a MMORPG. It is an RPG and there are MMO aspects, but this game is really a VERY strong story driven single player game with co-op aspects. If you think of the Dark Zone more like Uncharted's multiplayer (a feature not the game/story) then you will enjoy this game immensely.

    This game is first and foremost a Tom Clancy game. What that means is there is a lot of story! There is the Agent Origin's video on Amazon (almost 30 minutes long). There is the companion book (part of it is in game, but the book drives home the atmosphere and feeling). There is also all the echos, phone messages, incident reports, crashed drones, etc. in game. Some may see that as a collectible grind, but unlike other Ubi IP these collectibles enhance and tell more of the story.

    It is utterly mind boggling that people are already at the end game and complaining and they have no idea what most of the story is. People 5x more powerful than I currently am have no idea what is going on. They are just running around and shooting. To each his own I guess.

    Now that the groundwork is out of the way onto the technical review.

    10/10 graphics - The game is pretty. Slightly reminiscent of Watch Dogs, but very pretty. It may not be pushing the envelope, but the level of detail and weather is great.
    8/10 Control - Since this is a cover driven game the controls can be a bit dicey. You character can get stuck on stuff and evasive maneuvers can be a little rough. More than once I meant to roll out of cover to dodge a grenade and I ended up stuck to cover or rolling closer to the grenade. Nothing that can be patch fixed though.
    9/10 story - A damn fine story. Not quite Witcher level, but it has tons of meat.
    8/10 audio - The soundtrack is nice and it isn't playing all the time. Mostly just gunshots.

    My biggest complaint with this game is that though it is an RPG the whole loot mechanism is a bit off. At times I think it would be easier to just scrap the loot and just spend even more focus on the story rather than getting a epic gun.

    Lastly, the quests can be a bit repetitive even if the characters are different. A bit more voice over on the encounters instead of recycling the same sound track as well as more variety on the side missions. Each area has four side missions and they are basically supply/mercy drop, hunt down a baddie, etc. A little more thought would have been nice.

    I cannot wait for incursions and to see what else the season pass will bring. Certianly worth the money IMHO. My only other request is that it has an end or at least this chapter closes. MMOs are not so great and the story starts to flop.    … Expand

    When I first booted up The Division I was concerned that it'd end up a bog standard RPG, where I'd be spending my time going from marker to marker for each mission, which consists solely of killing waves of enemies. I was also worried that the (very well put together) story I was introduced to at the beginning of the game would only be referenced to a few times later on. Luckily, this wasWhen I first booted up The Division I was concerned that it'd end up a bog standard RPG, where I'd be spending my time going from marker to marker for each mission, which consists solely of killing waves of enemies. I was also worried that the (very well put together) story I was introduced to at the beginning of the game would only be referenced to a few times later on. Luckily, this was not the case. After a few missions at the beginning of the game (which serves as a tutorial) the story was turned on it's head and the atmosphere took a more bleak path. At this point I knew I made a good choice when purchasing this game. The Division is in no way a flawless game or Game of the Year material, but it's a well thought experience and I'm having a blast playing it. Does it do what an MMORPG should do? Yes. Is it fun? Yes. Will I continue to play after the end game credits role? Yes. One thing I look for in games, which I'm sure most people do, is immersion. I feel completely immersed in this game and I love the amount of attention to detail I see whilst roaming the streets of NYC. I'll see a rat and a bird fighting, people trying to get into and steal from cars, people shouting out of their apartment windows, unfortunate civilians dying and much, much more. Another thing I'd like to draw attention to is the soundtrack. I LOVE the soundtrack to this game. It's very reminiscent of "Drive", "Heat" and "Only God Forgives", and fits the game perfectly. I don't feel this game deserves the scores south of 7/10 and I also think the game may be getting these bad scores due to it being an Ubisoft game, who are famous for Watch_Dogs and the multiple disappointing Assassins Creed games. I picked this game up for just £50 (limited edition version) and Battlefront cost me £60 on release. So for £10 less I've got a AAA game with more content. If you're a fan of RPGS, shooters and dare I say it, Destiny, then this is the game for you.… Expand

I have had my fair share from grinding my levels, to the pure satisfaction of the end game this game has. I've loved every second of it and still just think about how there are three expansions still to come to this game. In the beginning of the game you will find yourself sent out to the streets of New York to rain justice, you will be playing from main story missions, to side missions, and doing many encounters which will help you upgrade your base. From the missions and encounters I honestly have seen so much more of a RPG aspect to this game which I really didn't expect. I actually catch myself getting pulled into the story, with many different feelings and just wanting to deliver one thing... Justice. The combat I find very appealing, I love the challenge. While playing the game you learn a lot more about the combat and how to improve. The gear is ever evolving, doesn't matter beginning or end game, you will always find yourself upgrading your character. Some might say "of course you will its a loot based shooter." and that I agree with, it is a loot based shooter but one that I find did it right. I've been a fan of Destiny for a while now and the same with that, its a loot based shooter but it doesn't give you the initiative to upgrade your character because you will find yourself grinding for hours just to get a engram, that "might" upgrade your character. In The Division this aspect is developed very well and throws tons of loot at you, some not upgrading your stats but others can greatly. Don't get me wrong, there is still a lot of grinding to do for end game from farming phoenix credits, or superior and High-End gear. I find the combat promising, from moving to cover to cover to stay safe and not just being able to rush in without a punishment. Only the Division agents who learn to adapt to their environment and the type of play style will be rewarded with some of the best gear when it comes down to challenging mode. I love the challenge, it's not necessarily "easy" but it does have a skill gap to learn before diving into all the game has to offer. One of my favorite parts about the game is undoubtedly the Dark Zone. This is one of the best features of this game, I love the idea of collecting gear and having to extract it while knowing you could be hunted down by a rogue agent the next second. It keeps you on your toes especially with the rewards, from superior, to getting High-End drops. I do think the game has flaws though, but not major ones. They need to add better rewards for going rogue so more people do it instead of one person being rogue and everyone hunting them down. The game also has multiple minor bugs with visual stat problems, from seeing one number change to another (thankfully doesn't affect the actual stats) which can be very frustrating at times but really not that big of a problem. I've seen my friends glitch through the map and get stuck underground but not very often. While looking at a lot of the reviews on this website I do want to say that this game surely doesn't deserve a "0" or anything lower than a 8. These people don't play the game until end game or they just don't know how to specify a game as a considerably good game. While I understand people have their own opinions at least tell us why you think its bad in detail instead of just giving it a beyond low score that isn't realistic. With expansions, loot trading, raids, and much more soon to come I can easily see this game as one of the better titles for this year without a doubt. If you'd like to add me on PSN to join me in the depths of the Dark Zone on the search for High-Ends or farming dailies, feel free, like your division agent. PSN: SoticRaVaGe.

    A review of Tom Clancy's: The Division on PS4

    The majority of the game takes place in New York City's Borough of Manhattan “In the midst of a smallpox like pandemic that the public dubs the “Green Poison”. The Virus has left the cities first response service organizations in ruin. The Government of the United States has no other Choice but to activate sleeper agents within the city    A review of Tom Clancy's: The Division on PS4

    The majority of the game takes place in New York City's Borough of Manhattan “In the midst of a smallpox like pandemic that the public dubs the “Green Poison”. The Virus has left the cities first response service organizations in ruin. The Government of the United States has no other Choice but to activate sleeper agents within the city know as THE DIVISION to assist with what is left of the emergency response teams know collectively as the Joint Task Force or JTF to help rebuild and maintain order within the now quarantined districts of Manhattan. Your mission as a division agent is to take back the city at all cost. Not only do the members of The Division and JTF have to fight the spreading Epidemic but several gangs have risen from the ashes of what is left. Rioters… Rikers … and Cleaners are all fighting for Rule and Power over the new free territory.

    Sights and Sound

    The Voice acting and music come second to the sounds of combat and constant firefights in the distance. The sounds of explosions and bullet hail are the real sound track to this game. With a full armory of weaponry ranging from booming close quarter shotguns to long range sniper rifles that rip the air all have their own unique sounds. Many of the weapons can be modified with muzzle attachments to give a weapon a new voice but still one of its own. Any music that can be heard after completing a hard fought mission was for me drowned out by the escaping sounds of war leaving my ears and in its place a strange calm that quickly becomes forgotten and feels foreign upon the fire of the first shots of engagement.
    Visually the City's architecture remains intact for the most part but the streets are littered with vehicles and check points torn apart and left abandoned, wandering vagrants which once made up the working class along with an equal number of animals scavenging and fighting their own battles to stay alive now populate the streets. The city can be navigated using a convenient and easy to read in game map and way point system. A nice feature to see was that every street still had its own name and on the corner its respective street sign. A really nice touch for those who notice small details. In the same respect for detail The environment of the Division is constantly changing with its regular day and night cycles but having token place approaching Christmas time harsh you will notice winter weather conditions. In a moments noticed clear sky’s can become overcast and cloudy then change to a light flurry and even pick up to blizzard storm conditions impairing visibility and making the navigation process a little bit harder.

    Game play Elements – Shooter/ RPG / MMO

    The Division is a mash up of different Genres. Third person Shooter, Single player RPG, and MMO style RPG. The game try’s to take the best aspects of each while leaving the bad behind to create its own unique game play style. In terms of being a shooter. It does well establishing a proficient cover to cover system as well as manual cover and maneuver while aiming over the shoulder. Although Manually staying in cover becomes tricky as there is no crouch or prone positions, the cover to cover system becomes more efficient in most cases to use. A nice feature for me, being a fan of third person aspect games, was the ability to aim over Either shoulder, moving the camera to my other shoulder when I wanted to peer around a corner or doorway opposite the default. Surprisingly many third person games forget to add that option. The gun play is excellent and hit boxes respond well. Every gun has its own recoil pattern and rise that can be master and duplicated through keen observation and slight movements of the toggle stick to keep the majority of shots on target.
    As an Rpg the division does well keeping the progression of the leveling system rewarding and exciting enough to grind the repetitive side missions that in my opinion are short, easy, and quick enough to complete that the repetitive aspect can be over looked. Many of the side missions also reward players credits to put towards their perks, talents, and abilities so “grinding them out” or completing everything in the area should be more enjoyable and challenging then returning to a low level area with a high level character. As I mentioned the perk, talent and ability trees coincide with a credit system where the credits are rewarded for completing side missions and main story missions that also result in you restoring order to the city, rebuilding the infrastructure and returning control the united states government. Along with the different skill trees a great deal of focus was spent on the progressive loot system. Upon reaching higher levels the players character will have the opportunity to equip stronger weapons and armor that he or she finds through out the game either via loot drop, safe house vendors, or even a crafting system. The crafting system is simple as materials are found readily available scattered though the game or weapons and gear can be deconstructed instead of sold to create base materials that can then be crafted into equipment better suited to your level and play style. Along with finding better equipment a player will also find different articles of clothing that can be equipped to change the aesthetic look of the player which is a nice feature if you like to be especially different, stand out, or even create something of a uniform you and your friends wear to tell each other apart in the Dark Zone.

    MMO and the Dark Zone

    The massive multilayer online genre really only comes into play upon entering the Dark Zone. The Dark Zone is a quarantined area within the quarantined city… Unlike the rest of the cities districts that are pve and only populated by you and your invited squad members as well as NPCs, The dark zone is the area where every player roams freely amongst enemies of super and elite status with higher armor and damage ratings. The dark zone is a free for all to any player that decides to enter, within these walls any player can engaged another player in combat. All loot that is gathered here most go through a decontamination process as there are higher levels of the virus here, before your able to equip it. When you want to extract gear you have to go to an extraction zone where a helicopter will come grab your new loot, decontaminate, and place it into your stash box. This is where the dark zone gets tricky because players will try to kill for your dark zone loot as your player will drop it upon being killed and any other player can pick it up. In my personal experience a lot of players will try and kill you right as your placing your dark zone loot bag onto the helicopter rig as your are defenseless for about 5 seconds during this action. The dark zone also has its own leveling system and while inside you will only earn dark zone exp and dark zone credits which reward players with the option to buy from dark zone vendors as well as open dark zone loot crates.

    My opinion of the game.

    If your interested and wondering whether its actually worth 60$. Go get this game, IT IS. I've had so much fun playing this game and feel like its worth every penny as a gamer. The match making system is really easy to use. I have had no issues with joining my friends for PVE or PVP. And video games are always so much better with online interaction because situations will never play out the exact same way between online play. I’ve only run into one bug where I couldn’t enter A door to a stairway leading to another door but I could scale the side of the building so the stairwell wasn't even needed. There are a lot of great features that have been implemented to making this game stand out from other shooters rpgs and mmos that give it its own very unique feel. As far of replay ability in the traditional sense I don’t see a need to remake another character outside of changing sex or race as all the skills trees are completly unlock-able in one play through. But I feel as long as they create content monthly which is what I’ve been told would happen. When its comes to the life span of this game its really up to the dlc dev teams, because with new content comes new adventures...

    Headshots and sniping is satisfying, modding and rerolling weapons is fun, the skills and abilities can be swapped for diversity of play.
    So why a 9?
    Few things missing in the game which may or may not be fixed going forward with DLC and tweaks.
    -Levels are massive and detailed and feel a touch empty at times regarding things to do. Fallout did this better somehow with more loot stashed in more places and more explore-able area's.
    -For an RPG the story really feels lacking, why am I in the city, what am I doing, what's my end goal. It just needs more love. If the user isn't going to speak, take some notes from HL2. If he is going to speak look at Mass Effect to see how this is simply done better in both cases.
    -Could use a bit better explanation of skills, talents, leveling, weapon stats, consumables. By the time I hit level 15 the game was half over and I'm only finally understanding how everything works. Maybe this is part of the fun but I've seen this done better many times eg. Mass Effect series.    … Expand

    The cover system is intuitive and robust at the same time. The crafting is not as deep as say Fallout 4, but it is there and that is pretty cool. The multiplayer is fun and challenging and fresh, nothing like what I have ever played before. The reward system, although still using it a little, is not overly dependent on RNG like some other games I have been playing...

    My only complaint has to do with the way that mission difficulty gets bumped up to match the rank of the highest person in a squad. If I am a lvl 12 doing a lvl 12 mission and my lvl 20 friends drop in, I am now about to get destroyed and one shot for the next hour while they get to play my mission. I think I understand why they did it, to keep people from power leveling their friends too quickly. However, it seems like there should have been some sort of middle ground like bump up the difficulty by three levels above what it was rated at. IDK something to make it still playable for the host who just happened to be part of an active clan.

    Overall, this has to be one of the more ambitious titles out there right now. My only concern is Ubisoft supporting the game and making it a long standing franchise. I am hoping they will but a global pandemic in the real world does not have quite the creative freedom as say Assassins Creed (thousands of years of history to work with) or Destiny (entirely a work of fiction). I'm hoping this franchise does well and keeps going for years. It's off to a great start.    … Expand

Now, i have heard some bad things about it being very repetitive, and being like Destiny, but... i love Destiny! The beginning was a bit slow, but i got 'back into it' and remembered everything from the beta. The graphics are pretty good (1080p vs 900p for battlefront i think) there WERE a few little lags where it might stop or skip, or dialogue cut out, but the gameplay was awesome. I am still a pretty low lvl, and have been busy only to play some of the story, and a little dz, but have enjoyed it. Playing alone can get a little boring, but the matchmaking is great, and the dz is something creative, and reminds me a little of a scaled down Arma or something, and i am glad i took back battlefront. I don't want to smash battlefront, but for 60 bucks, even 40 bucks, you aren't getting much, and i will probably buy it if it either lets you do offline multiplayer, or is like 20 bucks. Also, many people are butthurt about political views in this game, and being right wing, but you need to remember, many other games (hardline) blatantly bash conservatives, and no one said anything about that, so you guys hatin this game because a little politics need to just shut up and enjoy it. So, yes, i would recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy a fun sorta mmorpg that is also tactical, and fun solo, and even better in a group. also, i don't even care for 3rd person, but this game is an exception!… Expand

Playing with friends is really where it's at. You can play solo but man, getting a team together and using each others characters strengths is what makes it rewarding. The Dark Zone is the best part of the game. A mixture of PvE and PvP make this a challenging and quite satisfying by getting a decent chance at scoring greater gear and weapons. Some downsides are that most of the side missions and side quests are very similar and repetitive. Your character does not actually say one word the entire game..which was quite disappointing for people who love to invest into characters. Another downside is there is no trading system. It would have been nice to be able to help friends if they are needing that extra piece of gear to help them get to that next step. All in all, this is Ubisoft's best Shooter period.… Expand

    New York looks stunning, even in the decrepit state after the Virus. Your main guy can be customised, but most ppl look the same. However this rarely makes a difference as were not here on a modelling shoot !!

    weapons and added gear is spot on and levels up with you, and the DLC is fantastic, and it shows the developers have taken time to correct any problems and errors.
    Even though, im still playing it, were still getting add ons, DLC and patches and its s till a lot of fun.
    Dark Zone can be a pain, but it asks you to take the risk, and the gear sets can be notoriously hard to get, but still, its enjoyable and best played with friends, to make the most of all the abilities and perks and talents.

    having everyone as a medic is rarely enjoyable.
    get your medic, cover enhancement, couple of turrets and explosive grenades going, and your a force to be reckoned with.

    After Destiny, which a few ppl are comparing this to, i find this far more enjoyable, and im still sticking with it. Destiny just came and passed me by, and hardly as much fun to play, and seemed far more repetitive, where as this game knows what it is, and doesnt spawn the same DLC over and over, asking to dress up even better, ooooh .

Either that or the Division wasn't short enough or just didn't have enough guns made out of pipes and boilers running off the steam of Nicola Tesla's tears for that dude?    … Expand

    Played through the campaign twice and put a fair amount of time into the Dark Zone and had fun.
    Ubisoft was finding their way with this one and it had its flaws.
    Enjoyed the story and the environment.

    Let's just say this, a videogame is supposed to be FUN. And the division, like Destiny is lots of it.
    They're both Ok games, they haven't reinvented the RPGs or the videogame world. But they`re great fun games. And I know many reviewers just don't see it like that, they see it like work and forget the true nature of videogames.

    That said this games has it flaws. Character customization sucks, not many options when you create your agent, still seems like you're on Beta. Moments when in game you are just walking with no real threat. Not many weapon variety, but firing your weapon is tons of fun.
    Dark Zone is intense, and I do mean intense. This is where you do feel the threat. Trying to extract some weapons just to have some NPCs come and kick your arse is hardcore. There's also the threat of not knowing if the other players will betray you or help you.

    Storywise I don't care much, I mean it's not that bad, but the fun side of the gameplay just wants to keep shooting and killing every RIker or Cleaner instead of listening to the story.    … Expand

    I must admit I desperately wanted this game to be terrible. When I saw the graphical downgrades and what seemed to be at the time, highly over-exaggerated trailers I thought to myself: here we go again. Just another Watchdogs scenario.

When I saw the graphical downgrades and what seemed to be at the time, highly over-exaggerated trailers I thought to myself: here we go again. Just another Watchdogs scenario. Misleading marketing for a below average game. I digress, Tom Clancy's The Division is actually really good. Set in a post-apocalyptic New York, you are a sleeper agent working for a government agency called The Division. I don't want to go to far into it for fear of spoiling it for you, but I truly feel this is a must play. Don't let the destiny comparison scare you. I totally get why Destiny has such an enormous following, but it just wasn't really what I was looking for in a game. Hell, I'm not completely sure The Division is! Needless to say I cant put it down. The city looks beautiful, the gun play is satisfying as well as the loot system. When I saw the map outline in a Gamespot video I thought it looked tiny but it is enormous. I would say maybe a third of The Witcher 3 (If you have played The Witcher then you know one third of the entire Witcher map is still massive) I know I know, just because the map is big doesn't mean the game is great, but it has depth and an all around abundance to it. There is plenty to do for at least a good month or two depending on the time you have, and that is just missions. The Dark Zone is another story. The Dark Zone is pretty much The Division's pvp mode where you mostly kill NPCs. Haha i know but surely you have heard enough about the DZ to know about what goes on. If you are wondering if you can go in alone then yes, you can. Although it's not quite as fun as going in with a couple friends whom even though you have known for years you still don't completely trust, i have gone in alone plenty of times. You make yourself an easier target but it can be done. Most players are smart enough to know it's easier on them and everyone else if they just play nice. :-) Give it a try. I know it's Ubisoft but I cant deny that the game is a lot if fun, and at times extremely intense, and in my opinion truly shines during those 20 to 30 minute fire fights.… Expand

    This is a game that I can't stop playing. It is a great fun to play the story missions with other players through the excellent matchmaking system. There allows great cooperation with various skills and weapons offered.
    The graphics are decent. However, it seems there's nothing interesting to do besides shooting at bad guys. Finding a missing person is boring to me.

    Absolutely loving it. There are some teething issues but I've not personally experienced anything game breaking and have had an absolute blast since I got it! Looking forward to seeing where this goes and it will be 10/10 if they listen to the community and keep on improving it. Cannot wait for a raid to be introduced, raiding in central park would be amazing.

    The Division is the best game I have played in a while. Sure there are a few bad things. Leveling could be better and the stat system "especially DPS" is glitchy but overall it is an amazing game. I can't put the controller down because the thought of getting new better loot is too enticing. The Division is a great game and I can't wait for the free updates and the dlc.

    Not for Everyone

    Let me start off by saying I am loving the game. I got to level 30 a while back and I'm not rank 33 in the dark zone and do the dailies everyday. The end game content is thin thus far but its not non existent, for those who lean towards grindy games then this is for you and the end game will keep you interested for sure while you chase that next piece of high end loot.    Not for Everyone

    Let me start off by saying I am loving the game. I got to level 30 a while back and I'm not rank 33 in the dark zone and do the dailies everyday. The end game content is thin thus far but its not non existent, for those who lean towards grindy games then this is for you and the end game will keep you interested for sure while you chase that next piece of high end loot. Combat is satisfying enough that it keeps the grind interesting. I will admit that pre lvl 30 the grind is fairly monotonous (but once again is you enjoy the grind as I do this should be no issue) but once you get to lvl 30 and start getting some good gear the game because far more challenging (if you want it to be). You can hope into daily challenge modes which are daily missions that have pretty eye watering difficulty at times but are ultimately incredibly satisfying if you team up with friends and coordinate well. Similarly if you want more of a challenge you can hope into the dark zone which is the PvE/PvP area of the game. This is the area where your gear grind will be most bountiful but beware other agents are roaming around aswell and they have the option to kill you if they think that you have loot that they want. Rogue agents in the dark zone are rare however as going rogue is very high risk and very low reward in most cases (something massive might tweak in the future). Teaming up with friends and grinding the dark zone or challenge mode makes this game infinitely better, I would say similar to destiny its not a game you can play alone and get the full value out of.

    As for Massive (the developers) I think they have done a great job thus far. A lot of developers/publishers of AAA games will develop and ship their game and then forget about it but massive have already showed that they are invested in the game and are committed to ongoing improvement of the game. They have already shown to be responsive to the growing reddit community for the game. They have laid out a one year plan of new content, the first of which is a free update which appears to be introducing raid like missions to the game. I think that the division is a game that one can only true judge at the end of the year when all of Massive's plans have finally come to fruition

    I'll finish how I started. If you like destiny or diablo then odds are you will love the division. The game is all about that dank loot grind so please ignore the people complaining the game is too grindy, the game isn't for everyone but as a loot grinding game is been pretty damn good thus far and the future looks even brighter for the division    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well here's something I thought I'd never see happen an online only game that I actually like and the sole reason for this is because it is a story driven game yes it has the multiplayer part of the game with the Dark Zone part of the map but I have no interest in ever going on that mode of the game.

    So with that with that being said the story of the game is set in New York which is on lockdown due to a pandemic that someone has caused gangs run rampant in the city and it's to division agents to find out what happened and take back the city from the gangs.

    The graphics of the game is really impressive the look of the city that is in ruins to me was the best part about the graphics of the game the combat physics of the game can be a bit annoying at times but once you've mastered it the game becomes easy to play the amount places to explore and the guns to customize another key point to this game as you character experience level rises so does the enemies which means you have to find items or guns to sell in order to get better guns to match the experience level you are on the map of the game itself is massive as it should be because it set in a actual city after all.

    The minor issues I have with the game is you have to be online to play it even if you have to no intentions of playing the multiplayer part of the game and at times the side missions can be the same ones over and over again but there is enough missions to do on there to keep you playing till the end.

    Overall I enjoyed playing this game this might be the only online game series I'd enjoy playing because it has a story driven campaign to it and does not force you to play the multiplayer part of the game and that to me is makes this game worth playing.    … Expand

    If I have to describe this game with few words, I would probably say it is a Hack'n Slash game (like any Diablo game), but with guns, There are just two things you do, shoot, take cover, shoot and so on. Yes, it doesn't have many variety but this isn't why this game is so good.

    Because there aren't many things to think of while playing this game, this game is pretty fun and relaxing, the story is the main thing you gonna play, other game modes aren't as fun as the story because after a while, it starts to be too repetitive and you will find it boring pretty quickly.
    There are some things I would improve in this game, like "be always online even if you just playing the story mode" and one thing I find it really annoying is the slow texture loading, some parts of the city textures takes really some time to load even if you have a PS4 Pro, and also some issues with imput lag, to be precise there are some occasions when the game needs more time to load or process something, and this reflects on the imput lag. You give the order to move the character wherever or to take cover, whatever you do, but the game shows that order like 2 or 3 seconds later, those problems aren't that frequent but if you find yourself in a occasion of shooting someone or anything important, this issue with problems of loading the game and imput lag, can and will be really annoying.
    All in all, it is a great game, you will probably spend maybe around 80 hours or more, the game is fun and relaxing, even though the gameplay after the main story is pretty repetitive, there aren't any frame drops or bugs while playing, but it has some loading issues, but I mentioned the problem earlier in this review.    … Expand

    That's the essential nature, and essential problem, of The Division's underlying structure. It's asking you to hunt gear with no tangible reward in terms of what you can do, how you do it, or what you look like doing it. [May 2016, p.108]

    It builds a strong foundation on the gameplay front, offering up rewarding combat and simple skills, but doesn’t follow that with anything substantial, being content to let the standard end game grind and excellent-yet-stressful PVP try to cover all the questions its writing leaves you with.
