The Division 2: Warlords of New York Reviews
There are no two ways about getting the expansion if you are already a fan of the game. It adds so much to the vanilla experience that going back to an expansion-less version seems like a foreign idea. While many of these changes will undoubtedly filter their way down to those of you who are holding out on the expansion, the value is there in both the new setting, the expansive new story, and the first free seasonal pass and level 30 boost.
Ultimately, when all is said and done, Warlords of New York is an improved version of The Division 2, but it's not a complete revamp.
I cannot recommend this DLC at all. Warlords of New York does not have sufficient quality and lacks polish.

The Division 2: Warlords of New York changes nothing on the concept, that was proudly presented us by the main game. Gear is better, system and equipment modifications are slightly less confusing, there is more abilities and gunfights are still fun. But overall DLC brings just rarely something really „new“. Gameplay is still the same. Maybe slightly richer. And so, everyhing stays on the story and the structure of campaign. And that is nothing else but elimination of four, five targets, abou who you know barely something. Maybe that they are the ones, who are shooting at you, so that makes them the bad guys, right? Warlords of New York is a nostalgic package for true lovers of The Division series, who know the game from top to bottom. DLC won't change your opinion on the game. It just gives you more of everything it is.

The Warlords of New York expansion not only added plenty of enjoyable content to The Division 2, but also sets up the foundations for all updates to follow. Anyone looking for more third person, loot and shoot gameplay will find plenty to enjoy here, with players new and old able to jump in and explore Lower Manhattan.
Overall, I enjoyed my time with the latest expansion. The level of detail on display is eye dropping, the enemy A.I. is still fun to battle against and most of all the loot just keeps coming. Whether or not I continue to play this expansion in today’s current pandemic with bullet sponge bosses remains to be seen when there’s more distant escapism to be had.
Needless to say, if you enjoyed The Division 2 and are looking for more content to stick your teeth into, consider The Division 2: Warlords of New York an essential purchase.
Warlords of New York is a welcome addition to The Division 2 and it probably marks the most fun I've had with the series to date. While some content falls a little flat, each one of the special encounters is a manic and explosive experience that will bring you to the edge of your seat. The quality of life changes, including the refined loot systems, also breathe life back into one of last year's more enjoyable looter-shooter titles.
Without innovations, Warlords of New York brings just what is needed to satisfy players for a few months. Although the story ties up some loose ends and has good quality, this title will not expand the universe of The Division.

A long awaited conclusion to the Keener saga, some welcome quality of life improvements, the game feels more complete than ever.
Warlords delivers a huge step forward for The Division 2, fixing a lot of the problems that have been around for a long time, bringing some much-needed variety into the map. The big city creates tighter and more chaotic fights, adding to the experience. With the new missions and Skills for players to try it breathes some fresh air into the game. The new rewards system helps make players feel valued for their time invested, and this is great for the elite among us. It is well worth jumping back into the game to explore New York once again and finally hunt down Aaron Keener.
Warlords of New York takes ideas from games like Far Cry 5 or Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and creates a fun playground to take alone or with friends. Unfortunately, the game keeps on failing to develop interesting and engaging characters.

Warlords of New York is a solid campaign, one that brings a four-year story arch to its conclusion, allowing fans to see what awaits them once Keener is down and out, giving us a glimpse of what the future is and what it seems to be. For now, however, there's a lot to take in and let settle after the conclusion to the expansion which will leave players craving more at the end of the day.
Warlords of New York won't change your mind about The Division 2.
While the story has lost direction, Warlords of New York ushers in much needed content and quality of life overhauls to The Division 2
The expansion isn’t the best piece of content but the overall changes that came with the launch of The Division 2: Warlords of New York expansion make it a great addition to keep avid players geared up and ready for the coming content planned for the game in 2020.
A solid campaign utilizing some of the best third-person cover shooter mechanics around, even if the stories of the four rogue agents leading to Keener are poorly implemented and the ongoing seasonal content fails to use the incredible locations and enemies added in the expansion.
Warlords of New York proves to be an enticing and rewarding addition to one of last year's best shooters, and is certainly worth a return trip to Manhattan.
It remains to be seen how and if the contents of the season pass, including the raid coming this spring, will be able to break the monotony of the gameplay, which becomes particularly heavy during the endgame. For this reason, at present, we cannot consider Warlords of New Yotk an inevitable purchase for all looter shooter enthusiasts.

Promising expansion with the division return to New York to hunt down ex-agents with new weapons and tools that changes the gameplay while enforcing strategy and RPG aspects. In general, it's great experience for the division fans but might be hard to convince new players to jump in.
