To say that The Division 2 is a complete game is redundant. The story isn't so interesting, but the gameplay makes you always want to go further. Improvements on gameplay mechanics catch the player's attention for many hours, fair reward system, and an endgame that helps the player to improve its characters make The Division 2 a great experience in 2019.

The Council – Episode 5: Checkmate serves as an excellent last episode for the Louis de Richett's story.

Fallout 76 had everything to be a great RPG online game. There is a wide range of items, weapons and equipments to be acquired along with a map with a vast area to be explored.

The large number of technical problems throughout the game not only make the experience complicated, but can also make the players ditch it. About Fallout 76, the best choice to be made is to not leave the Vault.
