The original Division was a games you either embraced or possibly looked by until you found a great sale. Initially it still had a few too many issues which many were resolved during the lifespan of the game or I grew to love over time. Despite the previous game I was still an optimist of The Division 2, and I was confident they corrected some of the problems the first game had early on. After completing the main content it became quite clear that they did just that and whilst it isn’t perfect I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my journey my only complaint is the glitch that exists for the rare weapons that can be obtained thru the glitch which I would expect should be corrected shortly. One of the biggest improvements I found this time around then was definitely the AI and controls because without a doubt these both feel more intelligent and realistic, and quite frankly I felt I was battling my best even early in the game while I got the feel for the new game. The gunplay does feel more realistic and smooth this time around, as well and whenever I took down an enemy opponents it felt rewarding and and very exciting. In terms of mission content the game has a lot for you to explore the activities you can do within this content to keep things fresh and interesting. The loot you get keeps things fun and interesting as well and this aspect will keep your interest peaked for a long while to come. Even though the presentation doesn’t feel improved over the predecessor along with the absence of an offline component again, I feel that the improvements have been made The Division 2 a better game overall and definitely a worth addition to your library, especially If your a fan of shooters. Well done UBISoft, hope to see your software continue to improve and bring us the long time classics we have enjoyed for years. Two Thumbs up! Expand

    This is a great. Missions are interesting. AI is good and enemies will try and flank you. Requires thought and strategy (cover in most paces is essential or you’ll be taken down quickly). Lots of quests and side missions. Being able to have a stat page to see load out and power is great. Smooth tranisitions from world to missions to cut scenes.

    The Division 2 might be the most successful project of it's size in recent memory. The sheer amount of content and experiences available is astonishing. The core gameplay loop is significantly improved over The Division 1 and it's clear that Massive not only listened to the player base but took home meaningful lessons and has taken serious steps to understand what truly engages their player-base

    Love the game. The Division 2 def. expands on what made the first Division great. I love the new setting and armor mechanics when fighting bosses. I love the specializations added into the game and the focus on end game content so that you continue playing once the story mode is over. I can't wait to see what happens in the future for this game.

    Massive may have released the most stable and well-designed MMO ever; very few bugs so far, stable servers, and most importantly: it's shockingly fun to play.
    The only negative is the lack of a good over-arching story (it's actively mediocre), but in return the "small" stories, in specific missions, are phenomenal.
    The gun-play is superb, there's so much to do there's literally no grind

    The gun-play is superb, there's so much to do there's literally no grind until after the end-game (when grinding for loot to use in PVP is part of the fun), and all the small annoyances that something like Anthem is riddled with have just been dealt with. It's never going to soar the way Anthem does in its finest momentd, but at the moment it's a far superior game, and incredibly satisfying to play. I'd rate it a 10 if the story was better, but I predict I'll be playing this for months to come, maybe years.

The Division 2 is an even better revision of the good state where Division 1 left off. It's as if the devs listened to the complaints and implemented changes for them accordingly.

    Content, Content, Content. There are so many more missions, strongholds, side quests, world events, etc. When I play Division 2 I feel like there is always something for me to do. In similar looter shooters I feel like I run out of things to do.

    The story. Well the story is lacking, and while I wish it was better, I appreciate that so much more effort went into the gameplay as that is the main reason I play this style of game. If the game had a gripping story it would likely be closer to a 10.

    The Endgame. I have played some endgame by now and I have to say I have been having tons of fun. They have a good layout, but admittedly there are some balancing issues. The few issues have not ruined the gameplay for me as I still have tons of fun, and I don't think there is really a better looter shooter that exists right now.

    Good, but more of the same from the first game. Runs smoothly and isn't plagued by the bugs of other loot shooters at launch. However, still clunky gameplay when trying to maneuver around obstacles. The story is also more of a continuation rather than something substantial.

The only thing that really kept me going after I reached world tier 5 and level 30 (gear score 500+) was my friends. I felt no need to keep playing. Even playing the Dark Zone (DZ) it got really repetitive. I don't feel like doing the exact same few missions over and over again hoping I get a special part for an exotic weapon. To me, the first 24-36 hours of gameplay were incredibly fun and new. However, the last 48-80 hours I only really played because my friends played it. While I do recommend this game, I strongly suggest playing with friends! IT makes it a lot more fun in the long run if you plan on playing it for 100+ hours. Expand

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

    And whats more, all future content is going to be free. No need to buy expensive new DLCs that barely add any content (again looking at you Destiny 2).

    Game looks to be on the right direction on to where content > loot, so we don't have to grind for an specific weapon or armor type but rather -at this point- focus on enjoying the game.
    Leveling up to 30 was challenging but felt rewarding.

    It tells a lot from what Massive have learned from Div1 where most of the launch issues on Div1 didn't happen on Div2. i.e.: Deltas.
    Maintenance events -server side- have fixed most of the current issues on a very short response time from Devs. I'm positive this game will have a lot to offer down the road.

    IMHO, this is a must play game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm going to be honest upfront. This game has some issues. The story is boring and having a player character that's mute just doesn't help. And while the story maybe delivered poorly (very poorly at some points) it still brings you to memorable places in Washington D.C. The game play feels good and snappy. The bullet sponginess is visually fixed and while you still need to pump a few bullets into your enemies it's a lot less tedious. The world is beautiful and feels far more alive than The Division 1's world did. There's a lot of content both during the main campaign as well as after completing it. When you finish the main campaign, A new enemy faction called the Black Tusk invades and resets almost the entire map. You also get to choose one of three specializations. These specializations can be further expanded on by leveling passive abilities, gaining access to new skill variants or weapon and attachment blueprints. After completing all 3 strongholds during the Black Tusk invasion you can level up the alert level of a control point by doing events attached to it. The higher the level the better the reward. I myself don't really like the PvP-side of the division in general. And while I hear opinions about the conflict and dark zone mode, I don't want to include them in my own review.
    There are a few bugs in the end game side on XONE. For one I cannot see my XP bar for the field proficiency caches. While this one isn't game breaking it does bother me at times.
    There is a bug where the skill power stat doesn't scale or scale properly with your abilities and there's the bug that the Black Tusk aren't actually doing what they're supposed to be doing in World Tier 4.
    This game is not The Division 1 Remastered or The Division 1.5.
    And I advice people to stick clear of people that give this game a low score for it's repetitive nature. This game is based around loot and with every looter you will find repetitiveness. If that's not what you like that's your taste but it's not a flaw of the game.

I can't stand trolls who give games 0's because they don't like it and provide very false information.

    Now that I got the anti-Microsoft reviewer out of the way. The game runs great on Xbox One X, and it looks great as well. It definitely runs over 30 fps, upwards to 60. Just watch the digital foundry video. Gameplay is amazing. Gun fights are nothing less than engaging and fun, and there are so many ways to dive into combat. There are so many skills and perks to increase the combat experience, and this is no easy game, so you will have to use your own skill and abilities and weapons to defeat the harder foes. Speaking of skills and weapons, this game acts like a full fledged RPG in the fact that you get skills, perks, and an amazing amount of loot upgrades, which makes you always want to progress further, as in other loot based games. This looter shooter is done right, because there is always a sense of satisfaction when you find something new, and the missions and side quests are very fun, and if something is too challenging you can even request the aid of a real life player by calling for assist! Now this is where you need Xbox Live; the multiplayer....otherwise you can absolutely play the game solo as long as you have an internet connection, just like Diablo 3. This game is the Diablo of shooters and it is done RIGHT this time! There is so much customization here from skills to perks to character creation to safe zone improvements, it just all comes together so well. However, I do highly recommend getting Xbox Live for the multiplayer experience, because it is super fun to be able to respond to someone's call for aid on a mission they are having trouble with. This is an EXCELLENT feature, and matchmaking works wonderfully so far. This game is also fun as a single player game, like Diablo 3, BUT the best experience is on Xbox Live. If you like loot games or great multiplayer or 3rd person shooters then you should enjoy this game.

    For now I can only give it a 8.5 because we have yet to see what the end game completely has to offer, and it's still too early, but if Ubisoft can deliver some amazing end game content, on top of the great leveling experience, then we surely can have one of the best 3rd party online shooter experiences ever.

Having said that, to be honest The Division 2's day one launch wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting considering the first game's day one problems as well as Destiny, Destiny 2, Anthem, Fallout 76, etc. So far my experience with The Division 2 has been smooth and fun. If you have played any of the first game I think you will be right at home when it comes to this installment. A few new things have been added like semi-auto rifles that aren't just designated marksman rifles. Armor now has manufacturers. Like in the first games signature gear. They work similar as well. The more pieces of gear that have the same manufacturer the more stats you unlock with that gear set. Except now its with all tiers of gear. Now even green gear has these same mechanics, Not just the signatures, There are a TON of quality of life changes. Load outs are easier to produce, apparel is easier to sort through, and mission structure, as well as matchmaking have been improved drastically. It's also much easier for private parties I really like the changes to the Dark Zone which I won't go into because I don't want to give too much away. Honestly if you are one of those people that even had fun playing the early days of the first game you will love TD2. The little grips I have are minor. Like, now you unlock weapon mods like front grips, sights, scopes, magazines, etc instead of looting them. The upside is that you don't have to have multiple mods to attach to more than one weapon. For example if you have the front grip perk unlocked you can put said front grip on every gun it is qualified to fit. So it is nice not having to sort through 400 mods in your inventory, and they also don''t take up space in the stash box. I just miss being able to fine tune ever weapon to my needs. With all of that said I think it important to mention that if the first game never got you interested or invested then this game won't win you over by any means imo. Expand

Firstly, the story is still somewhat mediocre, but the structure is fantastic for how the game works. The map is the real star here as it is layered in fantastic detail and hidden areas to explore. The progression here is addicting and the looting factor feels spot on with weapon drops.

    The pvp aspects could use some work but the Dark Zone is really where the game packs a unique punch. I won't drone on here, but if you are into looter shooters or just love gaming in general, The Division 2 is worth every penny...

    I didn’t play but watched the review, the good game, physics at the height, good variety, but there is a lack of a "battle royal" mode, for such a game he would fit

    Honestly the best gaming experience have had since vanilla wow and hl2.
    This game is easily a 9 if not 9.5! Some of the "journalist reviews" are little more than hate pieces by people with ulterior motives,full of factual errors and have no place being included in the overall score,some clearly didn't even play the game enough if at all to do a legitimate review..Same goes for some of

Some of the "journalist reviews" are little more than hate pieces by people with ulterior motives,full of factual errors and have no place being included in the overall score,some clearly didn't even play the game enough if at all to do a legitimate review..Same goes for some of the extremely low user scores,one has to wonder if these people even played the game period! And claiming Anthem is better? You should seek some help for that...
    Im about 180 hours in, GS 500 many nice bits to play with,loot being the big focus in this game and it is done really well, enough shiny bits but not to much to keep you engaged and chasing more.I mostly play solo and have no problem at all,normal difficulty is a cake walk ive moved up to hard with no dramas, i do play higher tiers but one is better to group up for them.The end game is really where this game shines,so much to do once you have hit the level cap it really is amazing, i still yearn to log in every day and do challenges,bounties,projects or just run around having some fun or grouping up with others who need help, never a dull moment! One thing is that there i so much to do that often when you set out to do something in particular you get sidetracked by something else! Building your character is fun and very variable with skills to suit every play style, you can be whatever you want especially when you re-work items with the desired stats to suit your play style.Sure the NPC's do get a bit spongy on higher difficulties but its hardly game breaking and part of the parcel for a game of this style,cant be one hitting everything! I play this on the onex running 1440p and i think it looks fantastic for the type of game it is.I have had the odd bug and lock-up,seems nothing is immune to that these days! Still nothing like the dramas Anthem has, that's for sure.Overall this is well worth picking up,i see myself easily doubling my play time if not more,i haven't even delved into pvp yet as im having so much fun with pve!
    I do wish the devs would enable native kb&m support on the consoles, this game needs it, especially the raid.Controllers have always been a handicap, this game magnifies that with requirement to hit weak points with accuracy,something a controller simply can never do with the precision a mouse can, FACTS! All console owners should stop clinging to the pathetic input device that are these controllers and demand that m&kb is enabled and stop sooking that people using it are cheating! Its not cheating its just a superior input device,get with the times! You cant deny it (probably try blaming the game still..) when the raid takes many many hours on console and at the time of posting this is down to well under 20 mins on pc.

    This game I enjoyed thoroughly and it just has that way of being able to captivate me as a player.

The world is teaming with life like deer animal's and all kinds of enemies. The games graphics are for sure in par with current gen standards though they won't blow you away like an EA frostbite title though still something they improved upon from the the last title. While being the ribbon that tied it together is the sound stage. I don't know why but this games sound stage is so much better than any game I have played. Although I can't give this game a 9 as it's story just slightly holds it back. Although I would say if you have the money this game is a definite buy. Expand

    I think this game is great other then the a.i being retarded as hell, but I enjoy the expansive world with the variety of enemies. I feel like they should challenge us a bit more towards the end game but other then that I love it!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Maybe I've just gotten lucky in regards that I haven't had many issues with bugs. I've had the occasional NPC get stuck somewhere but it's been a while since that's happened. Otherwise I've thoroughly enjoyed the base game as well as all the expansions that have been released. If you were a fan of the first division 2 game im pretty confident that you'll enjoy the 2nd game and it's expansions. The only time I ever was disgruntled with the game is after you spend hours slowly taking back the whole map and then beat the main storyline line a new gang called the black tusks come into town and the whole map goes back to red and you instantly lose all control points and basically everything. I was like "Noooooo!" Expand

    The Division 2 (Review 06.04.2019)

    "Played through", I have reached the endgame and can definitely rate the way there. I liked it very much, Part 1 was still a failure for me, I didn't play it again later. Part 2 actually makes everything better and after a day and 19 hours I had done all the side and story missions. The story itself is not worth mentioning, but I personally don't
    The Division 2 (Review 06.04.2019)

    "Played through", I have reached the endgame and can definitely rate the way there.

    I liked it very much, Part 1 was still a failure for me, I didn't play it again later. Part 2 actually makes everything better and after a day and 19 hours I had done all the side and story missions.

    The story itself is not worth mentioning, but I personally don't care.

    The gameplay feels phenomenally good and has seen some really coherent improvements. Loot addiction is huge here.

    Technically, it runs almost flawlessly on the One X and looks incredibly great. Only sometimes textures pop up here and there. In addition, the facial expressions bothered me a bit in the cutscenes and some non-mountable objects (e.g. curbs, etc.). It is also very annoying that your own agent does not have a flashlight and again does not speak.

    I actually still have a lot of content in front of me that I will look at gradually. Division is now my game.

    The game is getting 8/10 tech boxes, at least for now. In addition to the final content, which I have yet to discover, I also have to try out the Dark Zones and PvP. There is a lot to this game.

    I used to love this game. I would have given it a 7 or 8 during its heyday but now it is almost unplayable. Ubisoft has abandoned it and it being an always online game spells trouble. You can't go 20 minutes without being disconnected from the server. Very frustrating. This game was great but now I cannot recommend. I wish they'd make a third one instead of this BR Hearltand game.

    Ubisoft did a great job. The Division 2 is a great looter-shooter that has a ton of activities to do in the endgame and the leveling phase is also enjoyable. The gameplay feels smooth, graphics are gorgeous, the game runs in flawless 60fps (after Feb2021 patch) on Xbox Series X.

    The division 2 é um jogo que realmente consegue prender a pessoa que curte esse estilo de jogo, só o jogo principal já são muitas horas, pra quem tiver interesse na DLC eu recomendo muito, adiciona bastante coisa pra complementar sua experiência no jogo, até agr só tiver um problema envolvendo bugs.

    As someone who has played almost the entirety of this game I would like to compare it to its predecessor, the first division game.

    The Division 2 may be making a mess on Tom Clancy's grave by betraying his highly conservative values, but what is here is a very competent and polished third-person open-world action game with a big emphasis on co-op. The value in this package is seemingly nigh on endless with the amount of things to do and see. Even the core gameplay loop, though simplistic, is satisfying enough to keep things stimulating, even when they feel monotonous at times. Just when things feel the most tedious, the end game content really mixes things up in a big way to reinvigorate the formula.

    For what it’s worth, The Division 2 is a fine game. It’s finely tuned, looks gorgeous in 4K, plays like I would have hoped, and just takes a great idea and improves on it. Co-op is the way to go, and solo players will still have some fun with it, but it will be a more difficult romp. Massive has shown they listened to their fans and wanted to make a game that the players wanted to see and they did just that. It’s a great shooter, great RPG, and well worth the time for anyone looking for a rewarding adventure.

    Not only is The Division 2 a solid gaming experience, but it's one that Ubisoft plans to continually support over time. We've already seen the beginning of that support, and there is no indication that it'll let up. Whether you are a solo player or someone ready to jump in with a squad of friends, The Division 2 is a game you don't want to miss.
