Tom Clancy's The Division Review

Tom Clancy's The Division

The Division is finally here after a series of delays it is here and it is awesome. The Division retains whatever formula Tom Clancy's games have and it's evident in the top to bottom structure of the game.

Content

The Division is about the breakout of an enhanced small pox virus which has riddled New York, Manhattan to be exact, into chaos. Without hope to spare the task of saving New York is put in the hands of secret agents, hence the name The Division, these agents exist amongst us and are only called upon when such events occur, where the government power fails, they fill the vacuum before paramilitary or a gang boss steps in, because you know; everyone thinks they can take advantage of a power vacuum and step up to the mantle, I digress, anyway the job of these agents is to restore order by any means necessary, and you happen to be in control of one

Pros

Despite possessing a lot of characteristics that Destiny does, The Division is still it's own game on its own. The rendering of one of the most realistic depictions of New York and all in it (the fictitious brands and all the graffiti), the game rewards exploration, going into abandoned buildings and breaking into apartments to find loot, traversing the Dark Zone joining random people or betraying your teammates, matchmaking and playing with people online is much more efficient than in Destiny but that too needs a bit fixing.

Cons

The story is weak and easily forgettable, the graphics may look a little bit lower than what we have become accustomed to, but it is still capable of 1080p and 60fps runs, let's not even talk about the character creation in the beginning of the game - it was limited and uninventful, The Division sadly gets boring after sometime both because of the repetitiveness and or the nature of the game; it's basically just about shooting down enemies and there's less fun playing alone.

Verdict: 7/10
