What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Unlike every other open world game that kinda feels the same in the sense that barely any of them knows how to fill in the world (namely Starfield), what sets The Division apart is that it’s very committed with the veracity of the setting it presents, which is why the game will always feel like a one of a kind.
The story is pretty good though it's never explained easily as to why your character is seemingly immune to the virus as long as they wear a good filter mask....despite that not being how stuff works with hazmat protection...the gameplay is also fun generally too and you can get immersed into the environment easily.
Whether you're experiencing the story for the first time or returning for another character, few games have matched the atmosphere, immersion, build variety, and co-op experience that it offers.
Nonetheless, the game is gorgeous, runs smooth for the most part, and also features some of the most satisfying tactical combat I have ever experienced.
Later on items become interesting and you can mix and match or use the Gear Sets which change your character drastically opening up more possibilities and offer much needed gameplay variety for Solo, PVP and Groups.
This is an open world 3rd person looter shooter, while not the most original idea, the execution makes The Division stands out on its own though its setting, music and timeless visuals.
