Tom Clancy's The Division 2 Gold Edition - PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4

Hey I played a fair amount of the original Division in it's infant staged broke away & even came back after they fiddled & put out a better game. Well guess what the fiddling worked so well they decided to release a great loot shooter out the gates this time weird right. Anthem & Battlefield unfortunately showed how easy it is to release clingy crap & suffer in sales or in BV wait so long to give meaningful content looking @ you Firestorm. So what does the D2 do right everything well almost everything you wanted done in the 1st iteration. The fundamentals of the 1st & in fairness loiter shooters remains but the improvements shine quickly. The guns have meaning when attachments or perks are used the cover & corner movements are better not perfect but feel good progression of character feels organic not a drip but not Shazam I'm level 30 in 1 he quick the boards story do enough that I played the campaign solo & with purpose! The darkZone has greatly improved solo missions team work the gadgets everything has purpose with in the game . It's not perfect but man they went above my st putting. Behind the game & listened & gave us a game that we wanted based off the feedback of the 1st give it a go

I played the first Division game and really didn't enjoy it. It had numerous bugs and the enemies were complete damage sponges. I even bought the Season Pass for it and never played any of the content - I'd sold my copy after a few weeks. However, I'd heard that The Division 2 had by far improved upon all the issues of the first one and with a lot of positive reviews, feedback on Reddit and word of mouth - I decided to bite the bullet and went with the Gold Edition. I'm really enjoying the game! Got almost 48 hours of playtime and am at level 28 (the cap is 30), so I'm just now nearing the end-game content. If I had any real negatives on the game, it would be the overly aggressive AI aggro and the areas do become a bit repetitive. Oh, and the apparel items are just plain...ugly. The map is much like an MMO - you have the map as a whole, but it is divided into sections that are for certain level ranges. Completion of each area goes like this: Find Safe-House and get the map data for that area., locate all SHD caches, capture all of the Control Points, do all side missions and then any main missions. Once done, rinse and repeat for every new area you enter until the map is fully opened. At level 28, it feels like I"m doing mostly the same thing over and over again. But, the game does such a good job with the loot and combat, I really don't mind. Now, I'm excited to hit level 30/World Tier 1 and start working on my Gear Score and trying the harder difficulty missions and Strongholds/Raids. The devs are very active on Reddit and super awesome at working with player feedback. This is gonna be one of those games that get better the longer it's out. In a years time, it'll be super polished and enjoyable for the long-haul. Get this, even if you're not a big fan of "military" style shooters.

If you enjoyed The Division's initial game, you will love the sequel which improves on virtually every aspect of game play. Loaded with content, The Division 2 offers 30ish hours of campaign to get you acclimated to the world before opening up into an ongoing experience with at least a year of content promised. Its just an excellent game and value. Its an easy recommend.

Bought this game expecting an enjoyable solo experience full of great story, tons of loot, and exciting gameplay. Instead, I got a grindfest game with some weird design decisions. Enemies are complete sponges and they come in nonstop waves. The amount of xp you get by doing most activities is just too low. It's taking ages just to hit new levels. The gunplay is great and it feels great to play at least. Just don't go into this expecting a liesurely romp.

The Division 2 took everything that was wrong with the first Division and greatly improved it. The missions are better written, the enemies are smarter, and you even have allies that can randomly help you during the random firefights throughout the DC. Being a native of DC, they have perfectly captured the streets and buildings of downtown. Definitely get this!
