After about 1 hour of experience, I got bored and quit. I would say it's a classic Ubisoft game. There are many annoying icons and notifications on the HUD screen, boring story and boring side quests, enemies come to you in droves no different from an army of zombies, and you have to kill these "bullet sponge" enemies with your powerless weapons. I know that there are weapons and ability enhancements in the game, but how much will it affect the enjoyment I get from this game? After all, I will do the same things over and over again. Although the graphics are very nice, the game unfortunately falls short when there are no important elements such as gameplay and story.

No other game I've ever played was simultaneously so addictive yet so bland. For everything this game does well, it does something very poorly. It has good combat, but bland firefights and enemies. It has good loot, but poor balance. It has some interesting lore, but the story and characters are just boring. If you want a game that you can mindlessly dump hundreds of hours into, go right ahead, this game is perfectly fine in that regard. If you're looking for something more, then look elsewhere.

An amazing game to progress through for the very first time and my favorite game aesthetically, When you understand the story of the game and your purpose as a government agent, the game's enjoyability goes up by 10 fold, though the looting and gear system could be improved on, you still get the satisfaction of achieving the higher ranks of power through a skill tree and gear score, and with the DLC content (that usually runs pretty cheap with the base game) the game gets even better with the introduction of the game mode "survival" that in itself is an experience completely unique to the division, but the thing that I absolutely adore about this game mode is the feeling it presents the player, something akin to the likes of DayZ and finding other players in the constant snowstorm hailing over the dark zone. Not only that but you have a variety of other game modes to explore as endgame content as well as world tiers so you can progress even higher and conquer new challenges. One could argue there were better games under the "looter shooter" genre during the time of the division, but I believe that this game is a special case whereas it may not be "better" but it is unique. and the division as well as its sequel hold a special place for me as an avid player of games of this genre.

I fell in love with this game immediately. I love the idea of going zone by zone alone and just trying to survive ambushes and dealing with the snow storms. I also love the ambience and the environment. It truely makes you feel like you’re in an apocalypse. Anyways I didn’t mind the looter shooter mechanics and the repetitiveness of the game. I’ve had fun regardless killing bullet sponge enemies for hours. However 5 hours in I suddenly can’t play it anymore because the game freezes and fps drops all the time. And I have the specs recommended. I also hate that the game is live service. Which means if Ubisoft shuts down the server like they have done in the past you can’t play it at all and your progress is lost.
