    This is the first game in years (decades maybe) that makes me want not to go to work just to play it. Visually stunning, absurdly fun, great gameplay. It mixes single player campaign with multiplayer options almost perfectly.

Kit management can become a bit of a headache and that's when the social aspect of the game dies (you'll notice stunned silence in your earpiece as your team starts tweaking kit, modding weapons etc). That said, once you have your character as you like it, you and your squad will start romping through the city again - that is until you level up, get more gear, find better weapons and the whole process starts over and over and over.

    Dark Zone will have you looking over your shoulder wondering if that "friendly" agent really is friendly or just waiting to put 2 in your skull and steal your kit.

    This game consists of running to an objective, fighting waves of enemies, running to the next objective, fighting waves of enemies. Rinse and repeat for the next 20 hours or so. I ultimately found this game to be lackluster. In addition, there is plenty of cringe worthy dialogue that ruins immersion and makes the game overall feel less serious than what you would expect.

    Then all of the sudden things started to get boring. I were just running around doeing side quest and unlocking perks for the sake of unlocking them. I wen't to dark zone to see if its any fun but it was complete deal breaker for me. Big area with some bullet spongis elite mobs. People that may kill you for the sake of getting killed them self by someone else. Loot was over average but dropped ridiculous amounts of it if you died. So now you may think I should just go pvp style, steal loot and smile but no, you see here is one of the biggest flaws of this whole pvp dark zone. If you kill or even shoot at someone you are marked as a rogue to everyones minimap and can be killed without any penalty. Why don't I just run away with loot? Darkzone loot needs to be extracted with helicopter from few predetermined zones making it too hard to actually run away without being killed.

    Score break down

    Graphics: 8/10 nothing spectacular but still good.
    Gun play: 7/10 nothing special. Guns felt bit different from each other.
    Perks, talents and skills: 5/10 stupidly limited to only 3 slots for talents Call of Duty stile, perks are allways active but everyone gets all those same perks. once you equip your first 2 skills you are not touching them much. Overall boring,shooter gliche kind of set up bringin allmost nothing to game.
    World: 6/10 big new york streets and avenues without too many accesible buildings.
    Gear and crafting: 5/10 same old boring more armor gear and crafting was extremely dull.
    Enemies: 6/10 same guys over and over and over again.
    Story: 6/10 nothing amazing, gliche but it didn't feel too bothering except for those useless whining moments from main carachers.
    Collectibles; 5/10 some nice peaces of new suits, video feeds were allways about some savages chasing people or attacking some aid posts, voice collectibles full of useless OMG that dress is awesome phone conversations or savage crying about being savage to his boss but boss just says don't whine we have to kill this people or telling how to rob someone clean.

    Overall: 6/10 another overpriced hype train game without anything innovative and new that falls to gliches.    … Expand

    Tom Clancy's The Division is a brilliant REALISTIC game, with online players and offline bots to fight when not in the RED ZONE, the red zone is where there are online players to face and level up.

    All about combat and upgrading your weapons and staying alive in the city.

So I redboxed the game to get a feel for it before buying because Ubisoft. I got some Destiny year one vibes and decided against getting it until some dlc and a sale came along. Come a few days ago I noticed just that and got the game and the Survival dlc. The base game is a pretty decent bit of fun. Worth the 25 I got for it but certainly not 60. But that's not why I am giving it a 0. It's the Survival dlc. At this very moment the only impression I get from this dlc was that I was scammed. I legitimatley feel like I was decieved into buying it. The reason why is because I thought I was buying a game I could actually play. However, the dlc content doesn't even **** work. At all. 0 seconds worth of gameplay.

    I go to the portion of the world where I can access and play the dlc. However I am blocked by an error that reads "This content is not currently installed, would you like to download and install now?" Now this would be normal if I had not done that already. So what the hell I select to install anyways and all I get is a "Please wait..." type message for which results in jack **** I have spend a couple hours trying for a fix such as uninstalling and reinstalling, **** the licenses, deleting the cache yadayadayada nothing worked.

    Now it was time for me to spend hours scavenging the internet for any info on how to fix to the issue. The best I could come up with was a an ubisoft forum discussing the issue in great detail and a very helpful user by the name of FireOwneD (user was not an ubisoft employee. The Ubisoft employees however were very clueless and useless :D ) who provided a work-around that works for some. But, it didn't work for me unfortunately.

    By this time I have spent several hours trying to just play one second of this dlc I paid for and probably wont get a refund on. All the while I'm thinking "I'm spending the better portion of my day off trying to **** a dev issue so glaringly blatant it shouldn't have occured in the first place" But hey here I am. This dlc have been out for a couple weeks for PS4 and a month and a half for XONE and this issue has been occuring for XONE users as well. How in the world wide **** has this not been properly addressed yet? I know Ubisoft is practically known for it's buggy, lazy **** games but with this they managed to top themselves by creating content that doesn't even work from the get-go. Somehow I almost feel stupid because I have bought Ubisoft games in the past and got **** like this. I hope Ubisoft is reading this so I can say: **** you Ubisoft. GG you got me again. **** you so hard your grandmother probably gets pregnant. I hate you.    … Expand

Kicking the only member of our squad that we had picked up at random and robbing his carcass of anything he worked hard to collect. We divided it up, extracted, and then went our separate ways. It still feels like I left some small part of my soul back there, on the snow covered LZ where myself and two friends led our new buddy to the slaughter after spending an hour fattening him up loot.

I personally enjoyed it but, having waited 6 months to play it, the world is basically a ghost town at this point.
    Gameplay is your standard 3rd person cover system. There are a decent amount of weapons in game to find and use but there's nothing that really stands out. The world itself is decent. I personally don't know anything about NYC but it looks like they got everything right. The biggest problem is the Dark Zone area. Basically the PVP area that you're forced to play to do and get anything in the end game. It's very tough, very demanding, and makes me want to stay away but I know I can't without getting the best gear. However it's Ubisoft's lack of foresight into what should have been the future of the game that killed it off. The game is basically on life support right now and they just tried to release an update patch to fix alot of the gear issues and things that turned people off from the game. However, with only 1 of the 3 expansions that have been promised being released so far, this game may have already had it's eulogy written by that awful Dark Zone decision.
    It's a decent game but could never have lived up to the hype. I personally enjoyed it but only to an extent. I won't buy the first xpac that game out and I certainly won't buy any further xpacs that come out in the future.    … Expand

If there was a prize for mediocre we'd have our winner.

    The game starts off in a promising way. Virus - tick, good graphics - tick, lots of weapons and kit - tick. Unfortunately it then starts to reveal it's true colors.

    Grinding and bullet sponges, that pretty much sums up the game. The game doesn't scale up in difficulty, the enemies just morph into super armored bullet sponges. You'll be making multiple trips to ammo crates just to take down a single high-level enemy (this is even worse in the Dark zone, where ammo crates are non-existent). In order to stand any chance against the impervious foes you'll be grinding for XP and dosh, but then you'll max out at level 30 when the progression system throws another curve ball. Your rating now depends on the level of your gear (which often doesn't equate to its usefulness), so you'll need to equip sub-standard gear sets just to get a decent gear score!

    You'll now be a millionaire but all that cash won't buy you d***. Instead you'll now be grinding for Phoenix credits, which are rationed like pitiful pocket money, to buy any better kit. You'll be replaying missions over and over again just to get these precious coins. Oh and the much heralded incursions have the most boring design you could possibly imagine - They're just large open areas with swarms of yet-more bullet sponges.

    And then there's the "Dark Zone". This could have been the big fun part of the game but it's actually more boring than replaying missions. More bullet sponges and the added "excitement" of any other player turning rogue and taking you out at any moment - genius. Oh and you loose XP for bleeding out, and can't revive yourself without a long walk from the nearest respawn point - Yawn.

    Let's just throw a few more logs on the fire:

    - A pointless animation when you open an ammo crate that means a queue forms when you're in a multiplayer mission. WTF?
    - An impenetrable skills system that makes no sense, and little difference to your performance.
    - Other online players appearing in safe houses but nowhere else. Why?
    - Too many objects you can hide behind but can't shoot from.
    - A kit system that favors armor over firepower.
    - The inability to fast travel to side missions so that you use up your ammo tackling random mooks before you get there.

I know I am not this cruel with my reviews, and usually always seem to find good in a game, but I find absolutely no appeal in the Division.

And for the fan of MMOs that I am, that is quite the feat.

    Listen, i'm sure the Division is fun if you have some friends. Although I have a few, none of them bought the game, or at least didn't play it. I went solo for the entirety of the experience, and did not enjoy any of it. The game just kinda starts with a paper-thin backstory, and then continues to take through a series of repetitive trials veiled by a plot so thin it appears invisible from the side. And i have to say, for an MMORPG, this game failed in the character creation aspect. There is no reason to make more than one character, unless you like endless cover shooting and bullet sponge enemies.

    The guns all feel samey, and the gear customization does not extend farther than the overall look of "dude in a hoodie." The game does look beautiful, i can give it that, but that may be the only positive I can cite. I found most of the slog pointless, and at the end, it all just felt like a pointless timekiller. The game wasn't engaging, it didn't engross me in it's world, it didn't give me a memorable experience, there just was nothing to make me like it. That may be the problem actually. It's not that there's bad things; there's just no good things. 2/10    … Expand

    This game is fun, but would be better if the there was something different to keep you wanting to play the game. I am going to hope that there will be a Destiny like experience where the game gets way better with every DLC update. Time will tell. But for now, I am bored with it.

    Was initially unimpressed by this game but the more I played it the more I got into it and the more fun I had. The graphics are beautiful though the combat system needs work. It takes about 15 bullets at minimum to down a bad guy. They even survive head shots!

The Darkness Zone is fun and can add some nice tension to the game when you visit it the first few times, but after that it becomes just another area to shoot targets that sometimes happen to be other players, which is fine as the core gameplay is fun but this area feels like it was a missed opportunity. The main problem is that while the city of New York is beautiful it feels like nothing more than a big sandbox. The story is there but because it doesn't directly present itself to you it often times feels like background noise to just shooting more targets, and it's not as if the world is interesting enough to want to learn the story anyway like in a game like Bloodborne.

    Ultimately The Division is a good base of a game and there is a lot to expand on, but initially is lacking in any compelling content. Let's hope Excursions change that.    … Expand

The game is not fun. Lots of time spent running. After about level five average enemies take about 6 headshots to kill, let alone "elite" enemies. Loot drops are unpredictable and useless. The leveling up and base improvement systems appear to give you lots of freedom, but ultimately you just unlock everything and choose between three special powers. Story missions can take up to an hour and may devolve into you waiting in cover with your cursor in one place, waiting for the enemy to pop up, shooting him, taking enough bullets to almost kill you, and retreating to heal. God help you if you join up with another player who is a dumbass and keeps getting himself killed, because once he dies, the game will leave you alone and stick you with multiplayer enhanced difficulty. Auxiliary missions, required to upgrade your base, are painfully repetitive and unrewarding. The character attributes aren't well explained, so item equipping is sometimes a total crapshoot. The PvP aspects of the "dark zone" are a total mess but are capable of providing some fun.

    Perhaps most irritating is the game's online requirement. You encounter chilling moments where you shoot enemies endlessly and their health does not go down, they will stand still as you move around, and you suddenly realize you're in the middle of a lag. When the game finally comes through, anything could have happened. That is, if the game doesn't just crash and send you back to login.

    Despite all of these complaints, you will keep going back to the Division. Something about a shooter RPG with MMO elements will tickle your gamer scrot and you will want to play. I hope you have a good internet connection.    … Expand

I'm one of a group of elite embedded agents in place for just such on occurrence? Quick tutorial on taking cover and shooting, then I'm dumped in a safe house with what looks like other players running around and some npc trying to sell me something and that keeps telling people not to walk away. Ok, quick cut-scene where I"m "another one" then I'm off to do some generic mission. I got to a place where I'm supposed to go to Manhattan, but I can't. There's nothing else to do. Looking at the door to Manhattan I apparently have to wait 16 hours to 'copy files'. Nothing shows up as downloading on my Playstation, are they telling me I have to leave the game open and running for 16 hours?

    Anyway, from the 5 or so missions I did get to do, it seems like a less interesting near-future WOW. Get a little dialog if I'm lucky, then run for a hundred yards to get somewhere where I hear 'Warning: Hostiles". Shoot said hostiles and walk up to a glowing box with the medical supplies, food, or whatever (they all look the same). Apparently those were bad guys, but it seems to me they could have just been normal people like anyone else, just trying to survive. So I kill all them and steal their food or medical supplies to give it to someone "who needs it more". Only I don't even get to do that, I just get a "mission complete" and some xp.

    The trailer and reviews led me to believe this would be a deep and interesting RPG with a story where I get to be a hero and make a difference. What I got was a basic cover shoot-em-up with "bad-guys" that might not really be bad, but eat bullets like it's their last meal and keep coming.

    Main Story is few cutscenes long and the story characters didn't catch my interest at all, i have played the game around 55 hours trying to get to max level to see if the end content is anything to look forwards to.

A first person shooter with RPG elements is an amazing concept. The game implements them well so far, but at times it can be frustrating.

The game implements them well so far, but at times it can be frustrating. One of my first major fights came early in the form of a boss battle. The boss had goons alongside him, and the fight escalated quickly with me retreating often. As a matter of fact, I was pushed all the way to the entrance to the rooftop where this fight took place. Needless to say I died a lot. Most of this game is pretty balanced, but occasionally you will find yourself overwhelmed. The game will show no mercy at times hitting you with unbeatable amounts of strong enemies, and nowhere to take cover. Over all the game has had many ups with only a handful of downs, but when it hits you with the downs it will hit you hard. Overall I am having fun with this game, and I will do another review once I have reached max level. If you can get this game on sale I would highly recommend it. Until then good luck, and try not to die too much.… Expand

The single player campaign is fun and for anyone interested in the story there are a lot of POIs on the map which will last for hours. Few times I smiled to myself when I played a recording from a mobile phone of some girl stalking back the stalker.

    Cons: Price! To get the full value from the game you HAVE to play with others in Dark Zone, therefore few friends who like this game will help a lot. The end game concentrates around getting the best equipment by crafting it (any other way is a huge luck). The problem is that to get the best you will have to achieve a high rank/level in Dark Zone (DZ). For anyone unfamiliar with the game, this is where all the players can go all out VS high difficulty NPCs and… other players. To get the rank you will have to kill a lot of NPCs or other players. This is when this game goes down the drain. Let me explain. Due to some early dev mistakes and some exploits there are a LOT of payers who managed to max out their characters and now they are hanging at the DZ waiting for ’beginners’ to join the cemetery. I like the game a lot but I simply can’t play any longer. The matchmaking systems which works pretty well became pointless as now the team of 2 rogue (PKs) players can easily take down a team of 4. Some time back some no-lifes complained that ‘rogue’ system is too punishing so the devs changed it. Now the system is way too punishing for casual players. Due to the whole setup it is not possible to teleport within the Dark Zone, so yesterday I was stuck at the safe house for 20 minutes as Rogue were camping and killing everyone… I wasn’t even able to leave and roam around the safe-zone due to lack of teleport within the DZ. What can I say… another lovely evening… another Tibia flashback.

As it is, Running around instantly joining up with another player or a group of "Agents" is really fun. Unlike the past few years with only 1st person shooters this game is refreshing.

With so much to do from day one, it will take most players weeks to max out their characters and, even if they do max out quickly, there's the very competitive Dark Zone where you and your friends can try to fight for more impressive gear. While players might find the story a bit distant for the first several hours of gameplay, knocking out main story missions and engaging in bits of filler story scattered throughout Manhattan will quickly begin to paint a picture. Of course, players that stray a bit might find themselves trying to remember why they're out doing some seemingly-random tasks. The biggest opportunities for improvement lie in The Division's cover system, which usually functions well but has a few quirky glitches now and then that might frustrate you in a moment of combat. Where Destiny wants you to replay every single mission over and over to push forward as a player, The Division is built to be progressed through a story that isn't told through heavy repetitive missions. In fact, you'll never be encouraged to replay a mission unless you found it fun or need to recap what's going on with the story in that specific mission. Otherwise there are always new missions to play through until the very end (level 30 at launch). Graphics are solid, albeit not quite as impressive as they were three years ago when the game launched. This is unfortunate since the Snowdrop engine being used by Ubisoft is very powerful. Though we don't get the greatest visual experience on consoles, the visuals are still strong - especially when you consider this is a massive world. Even things like heavy snowfall and fog can play a vital role in visibility in some cases. Perhaps the most encouraging news is that Ubisoft isn't pressing for your hard-earned cash right away. The first few minor DLC packs will be free, with a pair of major DLC expansions that will really stretch the game - all within The Division's first year. Where Destiny is a bumbling mess when it comes to the long-game, The Division is much more strategic and engaging right from the get-go. If you can appreciate the third-person shooter viewpoint and dig open worlds that encourage social engagement then The Division is worth a try.… Expand

    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.

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

For me however, the only thing that matters is if the game is playable. (For instance in the game "The Order 1886" the graphics were realistic and out of this world, however the game-play was awful.) However this is The Division, a third person action game.

    It says tons when a company put an embargo on a game but this game had no embargo, because Ubisoft decided there would be no review copies given out to reviewer. After playing the game I know why.

    First of the enemies are bullet sponges. When you empty a clip to an enemies head and he keeps on coming there is some majorly wrong. It is amazing how much damage this enemies take. You can run out of bullets just on four enemies because they just do not go down. I have no idea what Massive was trying to accomplish by doing this other than annoy the player. I do not see why a human enemy has to be a bullet sponge. I understand monsters, aliens or even armored soldiers but these are just plain thugs. It is so effen annoying it make me want to scream. Even Destiny with all it problems did not have all these bullet sponges and they were aliens.

    Then the games suffers from bad designs and invisible walls. When you are faced with a open sidewalk and you can't get across due to some invisible wall it is so annoying. In the mission when you have to get a guy who is in charge of power and you can't jump unto a wall only to be spotted by a thug with a fire gun.

    Finally, the controls are horrendous. I cannot begin ti describe how bad they are. You have all this loot and you are bound by what level you are at. What is the use of giving items if you can use them until a later level. At this point I am so disgusted at the game that I'm about to call Ubisoft to get my money back.

This game with friends is a 9 (close to a 10, to be frank) but a 7 (maybe even a 6) solo and being that I play both solo and coop about equally, I average it around 8.

    Pros: the environments are not half bad - graphics wise, not the best but in terms of displaying a dilapidated Manhattan, I think it is pretty spot on in terms of what comes to mind. Coop can be super intense - with the right people working together, every key story mission and (especially) Dark Zone exploration is jampacked with enjoyment and adrenaline because it does encourage legitimate cooperation to get things done. Story - while not the most original in many senses, it does fulfill what Tom Clancy novels/games are known for, making it feel like a lot is on the line and manifests itself in an eerily plausible occurrence in the realm of Biowarfare. Customization - the game does have a lot to offer to make sure most people find what type of fighter they would be, be it a rusher with a shotgun or a crit hitting SMG or one who stays back to pick people off with high precision ARs/DMRs, its all there for the choosing.

    Cons: To be honest, the biggest issue comes down to the fact that if you are not playing Coop, you are not really maximizing the experience of this game, which I can completely understand because I also enjoy some of my games done solo. Though the game is, admittedly, on the short side, it has the room there to grow even more (maybe it might follow in the footsteps of Destiny where after like 3 expansions, it will come out at as a whole collection for the same price when it would be worth the buy as the smaller issues get ironed out). I personally got the Gold edition, so I don't heavily consider this a big con but I can understand if some people do if they don't have any future DLCs in mind and are upset at what they currently have right now.

    If you do plan on a pick up, I encourage you guys to spend the extra 30 and go for the Gold to make sure you got future DLCs covered but if you love playing solo, there are honestly more fulfilling games on the marker for that type of play-style and I implore you to check out other games before investing in this one.    … 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

    I don't usually write reviews but..... I was really excited when I saw this at E3. Since playing the first 8 hours I haven't enjoyed the game one bit. To be honest. There are several connection game errors, the controls feel clunky now and again. I find it very repetitive and the enemies just seems to be all the same with no variation and seem to soak up a lot of damage. The graphics to meI don't usually write reviews but.....

I feel that the combat is very boring. I was a big fan of Destiny but on this occasion I think there is a few design flaws also. I think this could be enjoyed with a group of friends for a short time but not long term.… Expand

    The Division brings in elements from multiple genres and creates an enjoyable world, particularly when playing with friends.

    This game is by far the best open world Ubisoft has created, the story is average. It's interesting but nothing to write home about, the gameplay is highly addictive yet not groundbreaking at all, the missions are challenging especially if you go it alone (like I do) also side missions start off kinda fun, but get very repetitive as time goes on and speaking of missions, there is a soreThis game is by far the best open world Ubisoft has created, the story is average. It's interesting but nothing to write home about, the gameplay is highly addictive yet not groundbreaking at all, the missions are challenging especially if you go it alone (like I do) also side missions start off kinda fun, but get very repetitive as time goes on and speaking of missions, there is a sore lack of content (meaningful missions) but an abundance of actually kinda boring quests. The dark zone is ridiculously fun, it's pvp or pve, the choice is yours. But I would not recommend going rogue, because the reward for the risk you're taking is abysmall. The division is a beautiful looking, interesting and highly addictive game, but it's repetitive side quests, lack of big missions and not all that good reward from killing enemies keep it from being a perfect game.… Expand

    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.
