Tom Clancy's The Division

Store Page:
PlayStation 4

Total play time:
~80+ hours

My thoughts:

Intro:
Gold Edition v1.8.3

Graphics:
Overall I would say these graphics are good, right in line with what you're expecting from a AAA title. Yet another shout out to the city of Manhattan, it is amazingly constructed, feels lived in, real, oozing with character!


Sound/Music:
Gun sounds are great! Music is minimal, but when it does pop, it's a cool techno-synth thing. Love it.


Gameplay:
Cover based looter shooter. The game is basically a collection of missions, story main missions and optional missions including: side missions and encounters.

There are also a ton of collectibles that adds context to the world and story.

All the above took me like 50+ hours to do! Then there is endgame stuff to do (which I'm definitely not well versed in) which I'm looking forward to trying out!


Story:
Ubisoft/Massive built a super interesting world. Starts about a month after a bio-terrorist unleached a disease that has ripped through NYC. The near post-apocalyptic premise is very well done, which unlike something like Mad Max, The Division is still very much grounded and relatable. The story unfolds through the series of main missions, and context is add to those characters and the world at large via the in-game collectibles, side missions, etc.


Outro:
I've barely touched the DLC.... I need to keep playing this game more. This might be one of my favorite games of all time....


Rating:
5/5 stars.

Next game?
Borderlands 2: Commander Lilith & The Fight For Sanctuary
