Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game still looks gorgeous for a 2016 release, the controls are solid with a mouse & keyboard, there is lots of content to go through, collectibles and other data is tracked extensively, the voice acting of main and minor roles are pretty good, the story delivery is good enough to keep you going, playing the game is comforting, I don’t remember encountering any bugs and most of the achievements are fine.

The Division is an open world third person shooter with clear objectives and gameplay structure.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I have tried multiple proposed solutions: Switching to Dx11, going windowed mode, tuning graphics settings left and right - nothing worked.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
The game can be an excellent co-op game but it’s not good at balancing co-op for players of different levels.
