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.
