The Division 2: Warlords of New York Reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I cannot recommend this DLC at all. Warlords of New York does not have sufficient quality and lacks polish.

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.
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.
