Tom Clancy's The Division 2 Reviews
The Division 2 does some things great, a lot of things good, and a few things bad, but with the team over at Massive Entertainment having proven their transparency and that they are on top of issues, I can tell that the game will only get better as it ages.
The Division 2 is set in Washington D.C. months after the events that took place in the first chapter, in a post apocalyptic world in which you will have to free the US capital, from various enemy factions infesting the city, with a group of up to 4 people, both with friends and in matchmaking. If you like the genre or have played the previous chapter, you can't not play with it.

The Division 2 is a breath of fresh air in a crowded genre. It’s not trying to reinvent the loot shooter, and it doesn’t need to. Instead, Ubisoft has focused on carefully refining and polishing the base elements of gameplay.
The Division 2 feels like a full package. It isn't always as polished as we've come to expect from a AAA experience, but then it does have the expected Ubisoftisms about it. It's buggy, but never intrusive. It has some questionable microtransactions, but they don't ever really affect you. It's repetitive and utterly meaningless, but it can be an incredibly satisfying experience.
This is one of my most anticipated games and after playing it, I was right to be excited about it, and what the future DLC is going to bring for us. If you’re on the fence about it and have friends that play, give it a go, it’s good solo but so much more fun in a group.
Running through sunny Washington from one mission to another and the content of which is almost no different from the first installment. That's not something every player would devour. On the other hand: the game full of action, rewards and content for dozens of hours is the right recipe for a good time. And The Division 2 has managed to show that its concept, which does not change in any way, can be improved and also that developers are able to prevent most mistakes made in the first game. Still you will be stranded on the crossroad to decide whether the second part of this endless fight is the right choice for you.

While the narrative in The Division 2 suffers from weak characters and the visuals feel worn, the gameplay and mission design in this fantastic loot-shooter will keep you and some friends engaged for weeks.
The Division 2 could have been a mess, but wonderful combat, loot, and missions will ensure you have a great time no matter how far you are into the game.
The Division 2 is a fantastic action-shooter that invites players to take their own approach to a beautifully ruined Washington D.C.
Though not completely flawless launch, The Division 2 is an amazing game.
Over the last month, my social life has suffered, my diet has gotten worse, and I have spent many an hour sitting on a beanbag and yelling into my headset. When I’m not in this fictional Washington DC, I’m sure as heck thinking of it. The Division 2 is that good. The cocktail of great features, compelling mission design, and immediate fun is a potent one that leaves me wanting more every time. Massive and Ubisoft have done exceedingly well in their launch of The Division 2, though it remains to be seen whether they can support the community with exciting updates in the long run. Time will certainly tell, but at the moment, The Division 2 is a game I would unreservedly recommend.
After more than 200 hours with "The Division" and more than 100 hours with "Ghost Recon: Wildlands", it was somehow clear that I would plunge into the world of "Tom Clancy's The Division 2". And so I ended up in Washington and at the beginning was very impressed by the visual difference to New York from its predecessor. Alone the very different animals that whiz through the streets. From time to time I felt like in the movie "I am Legend". To tell the story and move it to another city is a good idea. Unfortunately, the story is told as slowly as in the first part. It is only a means to an end. Of course, they have retained the familiar mix of cover shooter with RPG. Also, the different weapons and equipment can be modified again. It has been adjusted a bit, but personally I find the whole mechanics behind it easier. The variants are just as varied. New are the three specializations, which can be played from level 30. Also well-known is the Dark Zone. There are three parts of this PVE-PVP area in the city, where you can dust off great loot, but bless your time just as quickly. But this time there is also a pure PVP section with two game modes and an integrated clan system. Unfortunately, there is a lot to complain about technically. The textures reload and there are some bugs. The opponents AI has been improved compared to the predecessor, but nevertheless there are occasional dropouts. And why is my character dumb? Could not you hire a speaker to make my character look livelier? And why do not team members see waypoints from others? Nevertheless, the game is an improvement over its predecessor. It is a lot of fun to loaf through the streets of Washington alone or in a team. "Tom Clancy's The Division 2" is a great successor and certainly one of the best buying options for fans of cover and loot shooters. Let's see how many hours I get here.

Overall, even though The Division 2 has some less exciting points and enemies are essentially just re-skinned and buffed up as you progress, I’m having a ton of fun with it. It feels complete and like it was ready to be released.
Massive Entertainment worked hard for this result and its obvious from beginning to

Loot Scoot and boogie
Massive Entertainment’s new work shows clearly that is a step forward compared to its precursor, filling up those gaps that made the product not really enjoyable and quite boring. With a valuable graphic, a Washington city well recreated and an exciting gameplay, The Division 2 can now catch the attention of the player not really interested about the game, thanks to small and big new features. Even if the audio system, especially during dialogs, could have been improved, it’s evident the effort and the passion standing behind this project. Waiting for more contents to come.

Even though its a few weeks post-launch, it's hard to truly emphasize on how absolutely massive Tom Clancy's The Division 2 actually is. It's huge in scope and size. There's more to do than I'd experienced in previous loot shooters and dungeon crawlers alike. When it comes to how a looter shooter should be executed ahead of its launch and at launch, Tom Clancy's The Division 2 is the poster child when all things are said and done.
Lets not sugar coat it. The Division 2 is an excellent example of what a games company can do if they try. While I think Ubisoft have dropped in some really bad games over the last few years filled with bugs. This however for me is not one of them. Yes, I had one or two issues launching drones and turrets but since the last update I haven’t had any so I’m happy. Reviewing this game was a joy and I will carry on playing this game probably long after my friends have stopped but I don’t care. I love this game and accept it for what it is. A cover to cover shooter with an absolute mountain of activities and content.
The Division 2 offers a fantastic loot-and-shoot experience, and one that doesn't actually make it feel like a grind to get to the Endgame, where all the good loot is. The story is serious enough to make tasks memorable, and the side content is fulfilling and contributes to the game's progression.
Still, what we’ve gotten is a robust looter-shooter that feels like it runs rings around Anthem’s slim end game and miserly loot. It’s still a looter-shooter at its core and thus the trappings of the genre are present, so if the idea of doing the same things over and over in the name of better loot doesn’t appeal to you then The Division 2 simply won’t change your mind. If piles of shiny new gear haunt your every waking moment, though, then The Division 2 is arguably the best looter-shooter since Borderlands 2 introduced the idea of a diamond pony called Butt Stallion.
