    Excellent game, really great fun with co-op with your freinds and graphics are absolutly amazing! Fights feel tense and the AI on hard mode is very good. Dark zones are hardcore. 9.5 definitly. Would be a perfect 10 but feels like the UI needs a little love.

    Gameplay [8/10]: It is a good third person shooter. It does not stand out in this category- but does a well enough job to keep you playing. Enemies can be a bit of a bullet sponge, but nothing too terrible.

    Loot system [9/10]: The arsenal is HUGE but generic. The armor doesn't effect appearance really, just stats. Clothing does change appearance but it doesn't carry stats. That being said the RNG is great. It reminds me of borderlands a lot. It is generous but not too generous and it more than scratches that "loot" itch.

    Story [8/10]: (I haven't finished so this may be hasty). I'll be honest the story is generic and can be bland. This is an MMORPG much like Destiny was. However, the fact that there is a story gives you a reason to shoot more bad guys. It builds atmosphere and drives motivations out in the open. For an MMORPG it is surprisingly good- it does more than what it needs to do. From the extra videos you find on abandoned cell phones to the many cut scenes and characters- at least it tries to add some context to you actions, unlike other console MMO shooters like Destiny.

    PvE [7/10]: The missions are fairly typical. They compose of boss fights, defending stuff, finding stuff, and fetching stuff. There could be more variety with this considering the huge pieces of the world that are dedicated solely to these missions. With that in the open I will disclose that the RPG systems are fantastic. They are deep yet interchangeable. The game manages to allow you to commit to the role of a tank, DPS, or healer. But it also lets you change between them at will. A mid level character can have the stats and perks to be a strong contender in all 3 roles and that is something special.

    PvP (Dark Zone [10/10]: This part is AWESOME. The tension built between players is unique and palpable. The dark zone is an open part of the world where you can kill other players or NPCs for better loot. It has a separate leveling system that is barren but the way it plays out is too cool. You can play the dark zone like typical PvE or PvP. You can kill NPCs or other players and collect loot. In order to keep the loot you have to call in a helicopter and extract it. This puts a target on your back and other players/NPCs will come for you and try to take that loot. That tension you feel when sitting across from another player waiting for the helicopter wondering if he will try to kill you and take your **** is something special. It is a great idea and it is well executed.

    Setting/graphics/performance [9/10]. New York looks good and yet somewhat haunting. I am impressed at it's size, scope, and appearance. The graphics overall look good considering the size of this game, and it preforms very well. Slight bugs and server issues here and there but overall really good.

    This is a strong game overall. While the mechanics could be better it does most everything right. How long I play this game depends on how good the end game is. But as I play along now, approaching level 19, I am having a great time. Where as other similar games like Destiny (an MMO-RPG-FPS-PvP) try to be everything at once the Division commits to its RPG mechanics and its setting whole heatedly. It is worth the $60 and hours of you time.    … Expand

    Sorry for my english.
    This game - the best sandbox of Ubisoft. Why? Because it's online. All those boring mechanics of ordinary Ubisoft games become better when you play with your friends in a large and very detailed world. The game is very atmospheric and simply impossible to break away from it.

I'm not going to say it's a perfect game, because it is not. We play games to have fun and to forget about the outside world, and this game totally accomplishes that.

    It is highly recommended that you have a group of 3-4 players the entire time you play. That's what makes the game so much fun. My one major concern is how much lasting appeal this game has in a few weeks or months, but that's mere speculation. As it stands today, this is a great game and I highly recommend that you try it.    … Expand

    Max.lvl can be achieved in a day, and I haven't figured out what's worth to do afterwards. I think ubisoft is going to have a hard time to keep their playerbase playing.

    The reason I did give a 6 though are the awesome graphics (I run it on Ultra) and character gameplay. You can modify your character in many different ways with talents,weapons,mods and decide what kind of asset you want to be in your team.(Even though it doesn't really matter, as long as you shoot bullets it's good enough).

    Mechanics: Well .. moving in combat is sometimes quiet annoying. You often stuck on some invisible edges or do moves you dont really wanted to. Ok its not me i am talking about, but i here that very often, when i hear some friends in Party.

    AI: Very stupid NPCs. I can often shoot 1-2 magz in enemys that try to gesticulate more than once and repeating the same gestic instead of seeking cover.

    Bugs: yeah .. they will always be BUT why the heck they didn't fix those from the Beta?? Players get kicked out of combat while they are in a group. Its rarely, but still existing. I couldnt finish 2 Quests for more than 10 Hours. Seemed like there was a missed trigger, but when the mission is: " return to HQ to finish side missions" and the Mission Agent is standing 1m in front of me, but i cant interact .. thats very sad.
    I had in the Beta the feeling, that waypoints and waymarker worked better than now. It happens often when i set waypoints that the Path wont show up, even if the destination is more than a mile away.

    Longtime Motivation missing. Many people already talked about it, and when i take a close look at the Map i can only say. Its way more smaller than people realize at first sight. There are really nice sightseeings and its beautiful to watch, but when i hear about Players that finish the game within 15 hours .. seriously. I think people would share my point when i say, the size of the Beta was 1/4. I dont include missions in that, because i am talking about the Map size.
    I played the Beta and i was like "wow ... that might be small part from that whats coming to us at release".
    I am very disappointed right now...

    Where is the promised 4rd player THE DRONE?! They cutted the hell out of the game ... not only the HUD, they also kicked out an whole character!!!!

    But now less from the negative
    What i really appreciate are the game tactics. It makes fun playing tactic and its easy for the group to pull together. What i also like is that every kind of group acts different. That puts the player in a whole new situation that makes him rethink his strategy and harass him to fall back if he has to .. Its a really combat based game.
    Well, this is the only i reason why i give only 3/10. The HQ has some nice Features that can be upgraded, but that shouldnt be the main part of the game and i hoped there would be something more, because i just go to the base to craft some items (yeah thats an extra + .. the crafting system) but thats the only thing that makes this game really RPG. There is no RPG if you cant craft.

One of the biggest problems was with the 'bullet sponge' effect you get when engaging an enemy with a higher skill level than yourself, I understand this is the nature of RPG gaming, but with the games setting, it feels alien, at one point it took three of us to bring down one npc, with me personally having to reload multiple times, it felt completely wrong considering the games realistic setting. Add to that some lackluster voice acting, forgettable characters, and it all just seems very average.....

People are sleeping on this game, ill tell you that. makes fallout look like a two year old made it (in every sense of the assertion) and blows most games out of the water in terms of graphics, connectivity, and smoothness and rpg characteristics.

    From the Beta to the full game, you will notice some few things they added to make it better. For one thing you have an overhead marker to tell you where the hell to go this time.

It's helpful because in the beta there was this one mission were the enemies were in between the buildings and I had no idea how to get in... Had to circle around the whole **** building just to find the entrance. This waymarker makes it MUCH easier.

    There is also crafting in this game! Learn new recipes and craft more powerful loot!
    Oh did I mention there is also ACTUAL trading in this game?
    And the matchmaking is perfect! there is even matchmaking for freaking free roam! perfect!

    Story isn't terribly interesting but isn't terribly boring either.

    Missions can be somewhat repetitive... and there always has to be like some final boss in the end of it. Side missions are all the same really, but at least they are quick to do.
    Upgrade system is great, not only do you have your abilities like in the beta, but now you have these other perks you can get to make your character even more useful.

    Oh and of course you can customize every weapon with scopes, magazines, skins, etc.

    And of course there is the dark zone... which I haven't really touched yet because I know there are going to be a lot of high level players there.

    It may not be a 10 out of 10, but more like an 8.5 out of 10.... I only gave it an 10/10 to counter those 124 negative scores. The 7.0 is making the game more average than it should...
    Like really most of them are just from people who were pissed of at the downgrade or just at ubisoft for what they did in the past.... not necessarily about the game itself.    … Expand

I was able to participate in the open beta and was pleased enough to warrant an pre-order. Then they dropped their year 1 content announcement and I was sold to upgrade to a Gold Edition. I had to hand it to Massive for putting out a concise plan, and wanted to reward that with my dollars. Usually I can be fairly skeptical, but what can I say other than "I had a good feeling."

    So let's start with the bad: There were a few glitches and issues in the gameplay that came up on my day 1 that made me rage for around 20 minutes -- a portion at the start of the game forces you to login in an open area where other PCs can block you, and took a long time for the system to recognize me and get me actually going. Nothing game breaking otherwise. I'll have to feel out the endgame content more but I could see it getting a bit tedious or repetitive if not careful.

    The Good: The handling and mechanical feel, while not at the level of Destiny, still feels great. The RPG mechanics are robust, and if you like yourself some min/maxing and number crunching this game is for you. It reminds me of an interesting blend of Destiny, Mass Effect, and Call of Duty. Why?

    Destiny for its open world simulation. It exists at a nigh MMO state but doesn't quite cross the threshold, while emphasising Coop PvE content. Unlike Destiny (before the taken King), Division has a semblance of a story.
    Mass Effect for its RPG elements and tactical combinations. One of my favorite pasttimes is playing the Coop multiplayer in Mass Effect 3 quite a few years ago, and figuring out the best combinations with my buddies to create the most explosive and deadly combinations. This game doesn't just take that idea but it advances it in every way. Multiple buff consumables, completely customizable skills to use, perks to choose from, talents to unlock, and guns and armor that advance specific playstyles.
    Call of Duty, I know may sound to most like a rebuff to the game, but actually I think stylistically the game matches that gritty, one man army idea. I advance and work with a team where I can, and has a certain element of military precision to it. The gunplay feels most familiar to this game series as well.

    All in all I strongly advise giving it a whirl. Time will truly tell if it is able to stand the test but I'm very enthralled thus far.    … Expand

You shoot yourself through masses of bullet-sponge enemies and collect all types of new shiny loot for your character while listening to some voice(s) in the background. Even though the story isn't that impressive, the gameplay, the massive( no pun intended) amount of content and the hours of fun you can have with up to three other friends makes up for it.

    As mentioned above, there's no lack of content, but I'll admit most of the side-missions are of the same type and has the same kind of objectives, but that's the nature of all the games with a grind element to it.

    The dark zone, The Division's equivalent to PvP, is were you'll probably spend most of your time scavenging for better gear and weapons. It can get really tense when you and your buddies try to extract your newly acquired loot while suddenly getting attacked by another group of player controlled scavengers and having to defend the extraction zone and your gear from the rogue agents.

    All the reviewers saying this is a bad game clearly can't see the beauty of the game. It's a "different" take on a shooter where the enemies don't die in one hit and "RNG"-luck is a big factor to increase your stats. It's also a pretty game to look at with all of it's details in a snowy, post-apocalyptic New York

    It's well worth full price if you have someone to play co-op with. If not, maybe wait for a discount just because it can be a bit frustrating playing on your own, both in PvE and PvP.    … Expand

    controls take some getting used to but doesn't every game have that? unless you just play COD every year.
    groups work amazingly well and the seamless online gameplay is everything I hoped for.

    neg I agree with, many enemies are too powerful. example a lvl 8 mission on normal will give you OP boss fights that can melt you and will take almost your entire ammo supply to kill. levels have more and harder enemies with friends but with the correct tactics, they are easier in the end. going solo can be frustrating. I recommend doing missions 1-2 levels below your current if going solo.

    also some glitches here and there but mostly funny stuff, not game breaking, examples: group members on your screen start to "float" basically losing their walk/run animations. other very minor, saw some rats stuck in an endless loop of running in a 1foot space but if you can't laugh at that kind of stuff you aren't a true gamer at heart.

    Well, it's finally here, The Division has arrived after 3 years of delays. Thank the Lord! The first thing I need to say is that the beta doesn't do any justice to the full game, so if you drove out back then, maybe you made a mistake.

    Talking about the graphics, the game looks pretty good, it's not that gorgeus game you saw back in E3 with those spectacular physics, but even so it    Well, it's finally here, The Division has arrived after 3 years of delays. Thank the Lord! The first thing I need to say is that the beta doesn't do any justice to the full game, so if you drove out back then, maybe you made a mistake.

    Talking about the graphics, the game looks pretty good, it's not that gorgeus game you saw back in E3 with those spectacular physics, but even so it looks good. I won't say it's a Witcher 3, but for me it fits a good looking game category. The soundtrack is not bad, it has its moments, but is not something remarkable.

    As for the game itself, the gameplay is exactly what I expected, a combat cover system with RPG elements, people will feel akward puting an entire magazine of an assault rifle on the head of a human and not killing him, but given the kind of game it is, is what you get. I bet you that that is what most headaches has given Ubisoft.

    The main campaign has 26 missions with a not very engaging story, you just don't feel in the skin of your character, as happened with Destiny. This doesn't mean the game is over when you finish the campaign, there are many things to do: Collectibles, side quests, explore the DZ, etc. All this can be done in teams or alone. And that is one of the most positive things I've found, the matching system and team search, you can choose what you want to do (missions, DZ, exploration, etc) and it will automatically group you with people looking to do the same things as you, so if you don't have a guild you can always find someone to play with, well done there Ubisoft.

    Regarding the PvP, I will miss the competitive game lists Destiny has, but I'll get over it with Overwatch, Paragon and others realesing this year. This PvP is focused more on a survival, strategic teamplay complementing roles. In the DZ you are in tension at all times, but when you see approaching a team of 4 people and you stay 4vs4 aiming at eachother in complete silence... I believe I haven't experienced that tension ever in any other game and that's what I wanted here.

    I found a few bugs to date, which in my opinion are serious because they lead to an appcrash where the game blows up or you get thrown back the start menu. My friends have also found several bugs, but this is Ubisoft we're talking about, for the so low standard that I have about their latest games (looking two years back from now) I think it's ok, which is sad, we should demand the best, but this is what the industry has become. I still remember whole groups of NPCs falling from the sky in Assassins Creed Unity... Eventually it will stabilize and they'll fix it with patches, not to worry, it's a nuisance, yes, but you can still play the game.

    There is something that many of my fellow Clan members have told me, they are concerned about the time the game while be "alive", they don't believe (and I don't think it either) it will last as long as Destiny in which we've been together for over two years but has finally bottomed out for us since there hasn't been any new content for over half a year ago. The Division brings free DLCs, which is really appreciated by my wallet, and a season pass that will cover the needs of content for 2016. But 2017, with the large number of multiplayer titles that will come out this year and the next one, will be a difficult year to keep the game up, we'll see how Ubisoft surprises us or if they leave us in the lurch.

    Boring and repetitive. Terrible shooting mechanics and bullet sponge enemies. This game is fun for a couple of hours, but suffers from a severe lack of variety and overly complicated controls.

    Ok, so Tom Clancy's The Division doesnt have the graphics it had at E3 2013, but who cares?

Just too sad that people looking for screwing someones work instead of understanding its greatness only because they can.

    About 17~ hours in now and I'm very happy with the game. The graphics are great and the quarantined New York is surprisingly detailed. Good variety of weapons and armor. Gun and clothing customization is right where it needs to be with plenty of options to tailor your build. Being able to swap active skills at any time is very useful, especially when playing co-op. Matchmaking with strangers or friends is pretty painless. The missions themselves take you to a variety of settings within the city and have all kinds of different objectives, but mostly boil down to shooting lots of enemies and a boss at the end. Rewards and drops all fair and there are plenty of vendors to visit always with different items for sale, so you'll always find something better to equip.

    A few people have complained about griefing, but you should expect that a little in the PVP area. The whole thing about a player standing in the safehouse doorway and preventing progress is not a real problem. The only time it can happen is during the tutorial. While it is annoying, it's rare and should not impact your view of the game. The servers have handled everything well now that the initial heavy traffic at release has normalized.    … Expand

    2 - Muita coisa pra fazer e explorar, tanto sozinho ( ai o desafio é maior ) quanto com um ou 4 amigos. Eu estou jogando sozinho mesmo e bora lá. Não precisa de alguém para fazer as missões, mas será mais difícil. Você pode mudar nas fases principais a dificuldade, achei legal esta parte.

    3 - Dark Zone ( zona cega ). Dá pra entrar sozinho sim, mais é aquilo, olhando para os lados o tempo todo. O ideal é entrar com outros agentes ( não necessariamente seus amigos ) pode pedir pra agrupar a outros. Simples.

    Right from the get go i was disappointed with customisations of my mute character. Very little options and not much personalisation i was expecting much more for an apparent RPG

    Then there is the story if you can call it that.. the missions feel no different between each other and i feel no sense of accomplishment upon beating them. They are boring dull and repetitive, if you want play game for long periods of time, this game is not for you.

    Now for combat i do enjoy duck and cover system but it irritates me that it take a clip to the head to kill a thug wearing a baseball cap and hoodie. I know its RPG but it just doesnt work for me a human doesnt survive a clip of an M4 to the head, or when set guy with gas canister on fire and they just brush it off or when you fire a grenade launcher into their face its just stupid.

    Then there is free roam, or walking simulator as thats all i seem to do, walk around doing boring side quests for reasons i still don't know.

    I think if Ihadn't played destiny id have appreciated this game more but Destiny bored me enough and this feels like present day Destiny

    I will say though i do like loot system and weapons customisation i think they have done a good job here. Also the environment is designed well its just the content within it.

    Truthfully I play most of it solo, and then I do matchmaking to replay a mission on hard. The co-op can be as simple for you as Dark Souls co-op feature. You don't have to use your microphone, and you don't have to hear other peoples as well. In doing it that way, for me, it makes co-op a lot of fun, and just a useful tool to get better "goodies" from hard missions.

    At its core it's a fun sandbox RPG that can be easily tailored to fit how you want to enjoy it. The gameplay is crisp, and while others may balk a graphical downgrade, I don't see it because I really don't know what it was supposed to look like. I didn't follow the game very closely up to release. As with anything on metacritic my score is slightly inflated to account for the 0 scores, and the fact that there is no .5 system.

    All missions are litteraly the same ( clean this area , go there and press A )

    Let's put this clear , this game is all about grinding again and over again . The storyline is non-existent . The graphics are probably the worst i've seen for a AAA games of this budget, and the PC port is just ridiculous ( can't get decent framerate with 980ti )

    It's obvious this game was downgraded from the ground up , that's is to say not only the graphics were set to be poor , but the gameplay too.
    The idea was clearly to match Destiny , with a game that could adress toward as much people as possible.

    Weapon modding is really really cool, but seriously , why the hell can you add a suppresor to a Machine Gun ?

    The weapon are absolutly unbalanced , sniper is the perfect weapon while classic riffle take thousand of bullet to kill a single enemy.

    The darkzone is the worst concept i've seen .
    Basically you end up in 1 vs 30 match if you hit someone by accident or if try to have fun by going "rogue" with the whole map running at you with no chance to survive .

    This make me laugh when people say the dark zone is a good concept. It's a lazy as f*ck concept so that Massive don't have to write a match making system , capture the flag or deatch match gameplay.

    I honnestly think massive wasn't ready at all for this game . Seriously those guy did "Just Dance Now" ... i don't think this was possibly enaugh to do a AAA from scratch.

    This game tries too hard to copy Destiny and to hide it .

    The Dark Zone (The games multiplayer area) can be fun, especially with friends, but I worry about the longevity. Whilst the campaign can be enough to draw someone in, the multiplayer is what will keep people loyal and still playing your MMO. Is the Dark Zone enough? Potentially, but it needs work.

    I wanted to avoid comparisons with Destiny, as they are two very different experiences. However, it shares similar upsetting disappointments, upon release, and doesn't meet expectations.

    Graficos como watch dogs, no hay ninguna evolucion. Misiones repetitivas...calles vacias.....no se puede jugar en modo 1 jugador, es bastante aburrido.

    Despite some annoying bugs (disconnection, framerate drop for exemple), the game is an excellent TPS, I just hope there will be some raids in the future.

    The Darkzone is fun with friends but alone... You're gonna be raped and a lot...
    So that's an okay game but I don't see myself spending too much time in it.    … Expand

    Normally i stay away from Ubisoft games if they are not ghost recon.
    With the Division i was sceptical but the beta convinced me that this could be a very fun game, so i gave it a chance and im not disappointed so far.
    I dont get how ppl that played 2hrs can say thei are bored or disappointed bc after 2hrs you are not even out of brooklyn normally wich is the tutorial area. I played    Normally i stay away from Ubisoft games if they are not ghost recon.

    I played about 6hrs yesterday after work (alone without friends or random ppl ) and i love it.the character editor was a bit disappointing with only a few costumization options but ok thats no big deal.
    The map is huge and filled with many many side quests and random encounters, you can take over enemy bases, gather supplies for the poor ppl that are left in manhattan or collect resources for your base that u can upgrade.
    The weapon customization is great and there a many different guns to find,buy or extract from darkzone.
    The story so far is nice and im looking forward to many hours of fun with this title.
    There a still a few bugs, nothing game breaking but still, if it gets polished a bit it will get 9/10.
    I had no issues with the servers in my playtime, and for that crybabys that cring about you have to be online the whole time.... dont play a dang mmorpg then you goofys..    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Division is a great RPG game. Players who expects a shooter game may rated low scores. But this game is definitely a 9/10. Graphics may be downgraded but they're still very good for an online open world game for PS4 platform. Gameplay is also great and innovative. Random Matchmaking or playing with friends is awesome and so much fun.… Expand

See being an old school gamer, i like full games, with the addition of new content later via add on packs or paid dlc. but what i dont like is a developer locking major expansions behind a pay wall, seperating the player base. this goes against everything that a good game does. Fallout 4 (and i know im gonna get some hate for this) is an example of a good game, they gave us a full story, gave us so much content. and then went on forums and asked the player base what they wanted in the season pass that they sold at launch. see they didnt have an idea of what add ons they would include. so they asked the fans what they want to see. the division just locked three addons behind a paywall so they can get more money from people that play. its a bungie stunt all over again and we are all going to fall for it. then as soon as all of the add ons are out they are going to announce a new "the division" and make us all do it again. ubisoft is a sketchy developer and they do not have my trust as a gamer and as a consumer. they arent as bad as EA but they arent as good as FROM SOFTWARE    … Expand

    The Division is what Destiny should have been in terms of visuals and depth. The game looks absolutely stunning and had me stroll through New York just for the view, looking for streets I visited there a few years ago. Everything from lighting to reflections in puddles and windows look fantastic although arguably less so than its PC counterpart.

The game looks absolutely stunning and had me stroll through New York just for the view, looking for streets I visited there a few years ago. Everything from lighting to reflections in puddles and windows look fantastic although arguably less so than its PC counterpart. In terms of depth it might be too soon to give the Division the edge over Destiny but it offers so much options in terms of customization that I absolutely love it. Adding a scope, grip or paint to your rifle and seeing it swing from your backpack is ackwardly satisfying. The only possible downside I can mention, is like Destiny, is the chance of repetitiveness in terms of missions and foes. I hope that with more time and progress in the storyline, I have played roughly five to seven hours now, the variety in missions, foes and their tactics will increase because this is what ruined Destiny for me, it was just too repetitive. Overall it looks and plays better than Destiny, its customization options far exceed Destiny's kits and classes (although Destiny's gear estetics where nice too look at) so the Division has tons of potential and I hope Ubisoft will be continue to add to this world by both free and paid content.

    PS For all the FPS players: THIS IS NOT AN FPS AND DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLAY IT THAT WAY. ITS AN RPG..    … Expand

    Would be a great free to play. Gameplay lacks abilities like crouch. Graphics are medicore and falsey advertised. Online is repeatative. Has some depth but nothing that great.

    This game is just a cheap cash in that does nothing original. It's just a shallow third person cover shooter with other players and loot (whoop de do). The graphics are good but they pulled a Watch Dogs again, meaning they lied to their consumers. There are microtransactions and plenty of connection problems. Just a overall shallow and cheaply made game for the casual gamers everywhere.

    The contest is over. This is simply the best game of 2016. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that is a child who doesn't understand what a good game is. The gameplay and rpg elements are the best the world has ever known.

    It won't win converts to the genre and the plot is problematic, but The Division is a handsome open-world offering, spiked with treachery. [May 2016, p.81]

    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.
