Eventually take out each of their leaders and main bases in lengthier Stronghold missions. DC has been overrun by three fractions of the disenfranchised, threatening the good citizens who just want to rebuild society. The Division 2 is a purely reactive story. It was the story of the very beginning of the viral outbreak. Even the first Division had more story as you sought the man responsible for the outbreak and attempted to contain it it within the Manhattan quarantine zone. Lore isn’t story though, and mission for mission, there’s very little story to the overarching game. It lacks any kind of subtlety, finesse, or depth, though there’s plenty of deep lore for a world rebuilding after being on the brink of complete and utter collapse. You’ll also be rescuing national relics, like the National Treasure mission where you’re pulling a Nicolas Cage and stealing back the Declaration of Independence. The story is largely forgettable, with no real narrative beyond “kill the ‘bad’ people” and maybe find an antiviral that could help. Here you’ll be leveling up to 30, pushing back three murderous factions in DC, and switching out gear so often you’ll be dizzy. The base campaign is an open-world third-person shooter. The Division 2 is almost two distinct and separate games. It’s not all sunshine in Washington DC though, and I’m not just talking about the dynamic weather systems that fill the game. After all, there was the entire first game’s worth of improvements and additions that the studio made sure to have ready for the sequel’s launch. What The Division 2 does well, it does exceptionally well. One of the original concepts for The Division was essentially “ Diablo, but as a third-person military shooter.” It was an interesting blend of the loot-based RPGs we’d been playing for years with a non-traditional setting and gameplay. Our Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 review has been a long time coming ( struggling through Sekiro may have had some impact in that), but with a game this absolutely massive and filled with things to do, there’s a lot to take in and analyze.
