The Division 2: Warlords of New York Reviews
A new content expansion adds to a solid, fun cover shooter which improves the overall loot game by simplifying the skill and perk system, and is best played with friends.
While Warlords of New York brings new content for players to enjoy, this is not the most original piece of content that Massive delivered. The main quest of freeing Manhattan is the well-known Ubisoft formula repeated. The four warlords in contrast are fun mini bosses to fight against, each introducing a small but fun gimmick. The main antagonist, Aaron Keener, on the other end falls completely flat. This first paid expansion for The Division 2 is a safe rollercoaster ride for players, but that's all.

The new gadgets, locations and boss fights are all thrilling, but the lack of coherent storytelling makes the emotional pay off for these adventures sorely lacking.
Overall I was thoroughly impressed with my time spent in The Division 2 Warlords of New York.
Warlords Of New York has once again raised the standard of the exciting and enticing gameplay of Division series and created several breathtaking and tactical hours of gameplay. The design of the new stages is superb. This is in addition to the addition of several new layers to the previously unreleased Endgame content of The Division 2, which affects almost every aspect of the game due to the increase in level cap, new catches, new campaigns and stages, and more. However, the biggest disadvantage of this package is the way it has been released; it's definitely worth $30 because of the new Endgame map and content, but the policy of buying a DLC per account is not that interesting. This is what divides the players on the game map and, more than anything annoys the older players.

Warlords of New York is easily the best expansion for the game to date. With fresh foes, a new portion of New York to explore, great gear, and some brand new reasons to care about loot, it delivers on its lofty promises. Now, we just need Massive to settle in and swat some of these bugs…
A great deal of improvements for both campaign structure and engdame structure mark Warlords of New York as a great expansion to The Division 2, an already stellar game
Warlords of New York feels rushed, the huge amount of bugs and questionable endgame content are the main reasons for that. There are some decent new ideas and improvements, but it remains to be seen if that's enough.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
While the story has lost direction, Warlords of New York ushers in much needed content and quality of life overhauls to The Division 2
Warlords of New York won't change your mind about The Division 2.
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 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 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.
A long awaited conclusion to the Keener saga, some welcome quality of life improvements, the game feels more complete than ever.
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.
