The Division

The map is sectioned off into areas based on your current level or at least that's the common sense they are pretending to have. It doesn't matter if your level 15 and go back to level 3-5 zone to finish some side quests. They will place a legendary level 15 boss that's so over powered you cannot run away fast enough to not die if he sees you. So, what could have been great is destroyed by some idiot design and kept that way still by the same. I really wanted to love this game as I have most T. C. games. I really hope the division 2 hired someone with an IQ higher than a rock for it's game design. After giving a truthful review Ubisoft has blocked the digital division game I bought from playing. What a bunch of tools.

Fighting your way through the streets of a post apocalyptic New York City with ongoing actions of new updates and variety of playstyles with new game modes added to the storyline missions including new Gear & Exotic sets, but with a small downside to micro-transactions to buy Exclusive clothes, skins, & emotes Best game of 2017

Being an Ubisoft game the graphics are mesmerizing because of its careful attention to city details and rich snowy environment.

However, being an Ubisoft game it also has its problems with content quality. Story seems unimpressive, nothing much to remember. It feels like it is there just so the game can be advertised to have a campaign. Your character doesn't say anything, it looks more like you're controlling an NPC. A proper character that cares about city's inhabitants would be enough, unfortunately we have to spend 40ish hours with this faceless robot.

Difficulty is only measured in length of health bars and the quantity of enemy spawns. Gadgets and special weapons, which I hoped the gameplay was primary about, are used only for the 1/10 of combat time, the rest of the shootout feels like a boring gun fight against damage sponge enemies.

It's a game that mainly focuses on exploring the city and finding various loots.

The Division may at first glance look like your typical cover system third-person shooter, but it has many RPG aspects that give it the edge. Tons of skills to use, weapons, armor, this game in terms of customization is exquisite. Shamefully, the game has several balance problems that remind me of other games of this style such as Horizon Zero Dawn or Patapon 3 (not as bad thankfully), where the recommended level of the mission is often false, and they blow you up despite exceeding it by far, the abusive grinding, or some enemies, even if they arent bosses, sometimes turn into bullet sponges, even enemies that don't seem to have any protection are inexplicably tough, and you have to shoot them like 50 rifle magazines down on their heads, while you could die with two or three shoots.

Apart from the balancing problems, I also have to present my complaints to the Dark Zone mode, which although it is very fun, it becomes a grinding mess to get the best equipment, besides that at a narrative level it does not make any sense. Why in an apocalypse would people stay in an area to fight for weapons and armor just to want to be stronger?

Despite all the criticism, The Division is a very addictive game, and that is why I give it a pretty high score, along with the great customization value, they give hours and hours of replayability. I was close to giving it a 6, but it was fun enough to give it a 7.

The open world is really interesting and we have a lot of things to explore but the gameplay in the fights are terribly repetitive and boring. The first two hours are incredible but after a few moments the game become too much repetitive and its the same thing over and over. Maybe more interesting with some friends.
