Tom Clancy’s The Division 2

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is a well thought out game with a polished, progressive story line with great gunplay, scenic world and of course, the loot available at the end of the game. This game will definitely keep you engrossed for a long time. With the little things such as being able to get out of the game without having to sit through a long loading screen or having to go through needless filler missions, this game has a strong fan following when compared to other similar games.

Division 2 has a better overall gameplay than the first iteration of the game, giving you a lot of open world side activities with less filler missions. Looking at the final game, it gives you a good reward for all the risk you take, upping the danger level and giving you the satisfaction of being a world saver at the end of it all. This game is a third person shooter game with a whole lot of skills, abilities that are available to be unlocked as you progress through the story, which basically revolves around co-op shootouts consisting of a number of factions (three to be precise with one more to come).

What is the objective of Division 2? You have to retake Washington DC, which has fallen into the hands of three factions. Your goal is to save the helpless citizens and reap the rewards and adoration of the citizenry. On paper, this seems easy enough – but when you start to go through the challenges, you realize the difficult nature of the task at hand. You will have to go about destroying the enemy strongholds one by one, retaking control points, and stockpiling weapons for the final showdown. Speaking of weapons, there are a bunch of them in the game ranging from the ordinary guns to exotic weapons like turrets, incendiary tanks and rocket launchers. 

Division gives you the ability to change out your weapons on the fly, and this ability comes really handy when you are playing the difficult missions to take back strongholds. You will definitely have to play such missions with a 2-member or a 4-member team, as these missions are very difficult to do on your own. Division 2’s story starts off from the White House, which serves as a base of operations for you, as you start moving around the city trying to take it back.

The pacing of the story as well as the missions are correct and will help you get familiarized with the game and the various controls. But although the scenery of the damaged, ravaged city resembles a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and is beautiful in every regard, the plot line of the game doesn’t take it to the next level. With the entire focus of the game being on taking back the city from rebels and with little interaction with the side elements, the game doesn’t deliver to the potential that it has, and at the end of the day, the game just plays it safe. If you like to show off your weapon collection, then this game should appeal to you.
