[h1] TACTICAL, FUN, & SLIGHTLY PROBLEMATIC [/h1]
[h2] The Division 2 [/h2] is a really fun game, there's a lot of things to do and you can sink in so much time in it without even noticing. I originally got this game on my [b] PS4 Pro [/b] way back in 2020 when it was on sale, and I remember the gameplay being so much different than it is now.
I love [b] Looter Shooter [/b] games, and especially if the game has cool mechanics I haven't seen from other games before, so this game have me hook, line, and sinker. I get to roleplay as a special agent rescuing people, helping out post apocalyptic outposts, and taking down enemy convoys.
[h3] The Story [/h3] is pretty good, it's rich and there's a lot of side story content that are related to the main mission line, granted it doesn't blow me away, but that's probably because I've seen, read, and played a bunch in this genre.
[h3] The Gameplay [/h3] is awesome! I don't know when it became this beginner friendly, but as soon as I stepped into the world of Div2, I immediately found a lot of stuff to do, so much so that on the first 8 hours I played this game, I completely forgot about the [b] Main Mission [/b] stuff and just went around clearing areas, taking down bad guys, and gathering resources, and by the time I realized I needed to progress through the story... I blasted through it because I could just move around the map and fast travel because I unlocked most Safe Houses and Outposts.
[h2] MY VERDICT [/h2]
- Despite some issues like, getting randomly disconnected, and requiring online connectivity to play this game, I like putting more hours into it and exploring more stuff and areas I've never been to before. So if you are curious as to the game being worthy of your time, ask yourself this. Do I love looter shooter games? Do I love open-world exploration? Do I like going around getting distracted by seemingly random events and encounters? Do I not mind that the game needs you to be always ONLINE?
If you said [b] YES [/b] to at least half those questions, then, yeah... maybe the game is worth your time. But everything is decided by personal preference, so you might hate the game even though I, and many other people enjoy it. So here's my current rating of the game, granted this is all my personal opinion, but here it is:
[h3] Gameplay & Mechanics [/h3] 8/10
[h3] Narrative & World-Building [/h3] 8/10
[h3] Visual & Audio [/h3] 7.8/10
[h3] Technical Performance & Polish [/h3] 8.5/10 [i] I would've given it a 9/10, but random disconnects are a pain, Ubisoft servers are in general [/i]
[h3] Value for Money [/h3] 9/10 [i] Since the game is currently on sale, I'd say, it so worth-it to get it and give it even if you just want to try it out [/i]
[h2] Overall Rating [/h2] 8.26/10 [b] If it's On-Sale [/b] I definitely recommend getting the game and trying it out if you haven't already.
