Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is the sequel to what Ubisoft had planned to be their Destiny killer. While the original game showed some promise, it has more things wrong than right. The Division was criticized for being too repetitive and lacking in meaningful content when it launched. However, none of these factors prevented it from being a huge commercial success. A sequel was virtually guaranteed after its strong launch.
The real question is whether Ubisoft would be able to tackle the problems of the first game? If the publisher wants to create a successful franchise, it’s important to make sure the sequel is a definitive improvement. Otherwise, the best games would leave it behind. Here is the rundown of The Division 2.
Game
Those who watch The Division 2 expect a huge change in gameplay will find nothing but disappointment. Not much has changed in terms of general mechanics. Enemies still act like bullet sponges for the most part. Except this time you have to chip their armor before you can kill them.
This adds a slight twist to the first game’s formula but doesn’t really solve the problem. You can say the same about the basic mission structure as well. Almost every business follows the same basic structure. Playing solo is still as frustrating as ever, as the studio has designed encounters around the concept of playing with others.
Loot is where The Division 2 really stands out. There are so many different accessories and tools that you can create any type of build you want. Fantastic customization options also mean you can make your character unique. You can swap out virtually any piece of clothing to create a unique look. While you need to go through each item’s stats to get the most out of your gear, it’s not necessary for most players. In fact, The Division 2 encourages you to experiment with different attachments to see what works best for you.
Additionally, Ubisoft has made things better when it comes to endgame content. There is now a full-fledged PvP multiplayer mode for those who don’t want to stick to cooperative play. However, the best content comes in the post-credits campaign. Now you have to fight against the Black Tusk organization. Players can choose new specializations, which significantly alter the way you play. The Washington DC areas have been completely reworked to keep everything fresh and exciting. It is a real challenge that requires teamwork and skill to overcome.
