The Division

Ubisoft decided to jump on the loot-shooter-bandwagon but they had no idea how to brand the game so a Tom Clancy stamp it is. The game is thus as identity-deprived as one would expect, yet i have to acknowledge the exceptional production value. The Winter-Wonderland meets DMZ look is always worth a second glance yet the same can't be said about the actually shooter gameplay. The combo of knee-high walls, bullet sponge enemies and grinding isn't the most fun of formulas. Going through the motions has thus never looked better and i soon started to ask myself why i wasn't playing Destiny or Borderlands instead. I will admit that i have interest to see the From Software-esque Dark Zone concept explored further and a sequel could pull an Assassins Creed and fire on full cylinder next time but i will wait until that day to give this, admitted successful, franchise another go. The game is best enjoyed with a dedicated team, which can be a double edged sword. 6,5/10

If you like shooting things this game is great. The mechanics, the graphics and the sound all stack up in a Christmas winter environment. Beautiful to look at and enough stuff to keep you playing for months.

Go here, push a button and wait to be attacked by forces. Go there push a button...

Pretty much the same thing over and over.

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.

The Division started out badly with very little to do but as time progressed it got great and fun with the addition of the Dlcs.
