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’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.

With "The Division 2" Ubisoft has created a detailed and motivating Loot-Shooter, which doesn't allow any objections concerning the game feeling. The sophisticated character and combat system as well as the exciting PvE and PvP matches provide nice entertainment and give the title the right amount of tactics. Diverse missions and side tasks provide a welcome permanent occupation and raise the replay value to a high level. With "The Division 2" you have taken the wishes of the players to heart and created a successful sequel.

The Division 2 feels like a new benchmark for the looter shooter genre. The game feels surprisingly well refined at launch, with a wonderful amount of content, solid endgame and great gameplay changes coming from the original. The combat feels both tactical and fun, particularly when played with others, and D.C. is teeming with loot around every corner. Whilst there's some bugs here and there, and the game's narrative could be significantly better, The Division 2 provides a fantastic base for Ubisoft to build upon moving forward.

The Division 2 is a complete package of thrill and excitement that can last for an infinity amount of time. Experiencing it is a must for fans of the first game, fans of 3RD person shooters, fans of team-based and online games and open world genre. You are facing a game that knows its fundamentals very well and upgrades its identity fearlessly. Although gameplay is really great, you shouldn't expect a flawless game, without bugs and valuable story. If you are looking for a game with long time support, you should definitely play The Division 2.

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is absolutely packed with content and things to do, and those things to do never, ever get boring. There’s so much to talk about still, but this is such a wonderfully crafted game. With such a focus on longevity and setting the bar so high for quality of activities, it gives me the confidence in this game, and its future updates. I’ve never before seen such care taken into account for all players at every turn of a game. This is the most improved sequel ever made. Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is simply astounding.

There’s a lot of good to be said about the world of The Division 2. The world feels very real, characters feel absolutely believable, and the game was crafted with obvious love. For some, especially fans of looter games, they will find a satisfying loop of running, gunning, grenades and gear to please the palate. For others, myself included, the core gameplay loop never becomes anything deeper than exactly what it appears, and the seemingly endless cycle of upgrading gear just to get more will wear itself thin before you reach the highest tiers of power.

The Division 2 is looking and feeling great at first glimpse. It seems Massive Entertainment has improved almost every aspect of the game from the first Division. Also, the free expansions are really great because the community will not be split across the season.

In light of a half-hearted predecessor and a lot of skepticism going in, The Division 2 delivers in what it sets out to do. It's an exciting third-person co-op experience with the run and gun of the original capitalized on in the best way possible for the current generation.

The Division 2 is a product of years of love, labour and listening, iterating and reiterating on what worked in the previous game, and adding and changing based on developer and community feedback. Everything feels polished and thought out, making you come back for some more.

If you like shooters in any way shape or form I’d totally recommend this, even if you don’t like shared world shooters this is perfectly playable throughout the campaign in solo but it definitely becomes more fun if you get a little squad together and roam the streets of Washington together, the depth of the content here is vast and there is a huge amount of enjoyment to be had in the world, looking at Ubisoft’s pedigree with Games as a Service this one looks like it will run for a very long time.

Tom Clancy's The Division 2 is without a doubt a very good game. Concept and mechanics introduced by its predecessor are almost identical, but now even better. If you enjoyed the first game, you will be certainly satisfied with the sequel too.
