The Division 2’s mix of gorgeous graphics, fantastic gameplay, excellent music, one of gaming’s coolest UI’s, and a progression system I truly adore makes it one of my favorite games in quite a while. Every day I find myself opening it up instead of something new and I simply had to review it to get my thoughts out there.

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 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.

Finally, The Division 2 is more than satisfying. It works as an example for sequels with almost all of the weaknesses from the first game having been improved in this one.

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.

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.

The Division 2 is a vast improvement over its predecessor straight from launch. With improvements in every area of design, whether you're playing solo, with friends there is a wealth of content to keep you occupied. Right now, it's definitely worth the asking price and will certainly keep you coming back, but even if you wait there will be even more content to play in the coming years.

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.

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 is a thoroughly enjoyable and challenging shooter. It improves on almost every aspect of the first game with a whole wealth of content and options on offer. Despite a few convoluted screens, the menus are better designed this time around and the loot progression fine-tuned to perfection. Given the scepticism I had going into this one, Ubisoft have delivered one of the best games of 2019 so far and a very enjoyable third person shooter in its own right.

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.

The Division 2 is a hefty step-up from its predecessor, with a massive amount of content to keep you engaged for weeks. Massive has created a truly engaging shared world game which remembers it's the players, and not the shareholders, that come first and foremost.

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.

The Division 2 might not walk like a traditional Tom Clancy game or quack like a traditional Tom Clancy game. But it's still a fun title that exemplifies a loot shooter done right. The story could admittedly be better fleshed out and it suffers from some bugs and hiccups here and there. At a time when some highly-anticipated game launches over-promise and under-deliver, however, it's nice to see a game that feels complete right off the bat.
