Tom Clancy’s The Division™

don't buy this game. the shield commedations don't work and the Global Event service is dead making the grind for classified gear fucking miserable.

if you already own the game with the DLCs on Ubisoft and want a "loisence" for Steam, just buy the standard edition. the licenses are cross-compatible

its just has an amazing feel to it very atmospheric the cold winter New York scene. I keep coming back to it every time to scratch that looter shooter itch which by the way the second game never did. its very much still alive and well even after all these years you still find players to join or to fight against. Also it has a very fleshed out end game which you just so addicted and make you want to keep coming back to it

I have put hundreds of hours into this game on my Xbox and I finally got a pc and this is the first game I got on it. It is so nice to play again, especially with the great graphics

Something that I've found out very recently is that if you lose access to the ubisoft account that you used to play this in the very first time, you can't play it anymore. It's over. The DLCs are somehow tied to the ubisoft connect account, if you can't log in the same account the game will issue an error, as if you were trying to "lend your game to another account" (which also shouldn't be a problem) and theres this weird DRM thing that blocks you opening the game.

I really wanted to like this game as it has the coolest aesthetics, brilliant atmosphere, and engaging shoot outs, but what kills it entirely is the RPG systems and mechanics. Ubisoft struggle with RPG mechanics regularly and it fucking shows here

fine game but the world is soooo boring and dead, if the world was more interactive, it would be a good game, also the combat is sometimes broken, get it in discount or crack it

game has no real direction they make the later game literally impossible in solo hole game is just a waste of time i mean if you wanna see how far tom Clancy games have fallen this is for you then games experience was so bad after this review i plan on removing the game completely from my account because i don't mind wasting some money on something that's actually playable understandable and has a clear direction instead of aimlessly wondering a town if i wanted to struggle playing a game id go play struggling

played a lot of division2, but never division1, so now´s the time to see if I agree with the ppl who say "div1 is better". in short: i think not.
it´s different! darker, grittier, tries to be more of a story shooter, but also clunkier to navigate, because there is more debris and stuff lying around and not every climbable area is clearly marked. environmental graphics are beautiful, but ppl /npcs are not well animated. div2 looks better in almost every aspect, except the amount of stuff lying around.

also, the fking ubisoft connect is still running in the background, and it´s the reason why the game takes forever to load. yeah, that´s ubisoft for you.

all in all I think it´s still worth playing if you get it at a discount, but div2 is the better looter shooter, because it doesn´t even try to offer a "real" story except "shoot all bad guys".

The gameplay is starting to show its age, controls can get a bit wonky on Mouse & Keyboard. Enemy sponginess can be a real pain sometimes but all is made up for with the vibes of this game alone.

The world-building is top-notch, you can really feel the desolation of a dying city in the harsh winter. The grim atmosphere is realistic in its tone and pairs well with the chaotic shootouts on car-ridden streets. Especially with gamemodes like Dark-Zone & Survival (DLC needed for latter). Both are fun twists on an otherwise pretty mediocre game.

Graphics hold up surprisingly well today, although currently I have some issues with stuttering that I haven't been able to solve. Might be a bottleneck issue on my end.

All in all, what the game may lack a bit in its gameplay mechanics and main-storyline's repetitiveness, it makes up for with the general atmosphere and two solid gamemodes that build off of it. I'd never recommend buying full price however, wait for a steam sale or find a steam key online somewhere (Be careful with that).

Massive made something special here. The nearly perfect atmosphere and world building. The city is impressively immersive. The game is a mood that you need to experience to understand. Looks better than most AAA games today. Underground and Survival DLC are very fun. Might be my favorite gaming experience from the 2010 decade.

Division is a great game, worth purchasing the Gold Edition for Survival DLC etc.

A must play at least one time through, in my opinion. I don't care about the PVP, etc. but this is one of the pinnacle Co-op looter shooters in my experience. I would honestly recommend it higher than The Division 2, because there is just something about navigating a highly detailed, near to scale model of New York city during Christmas, buried in snow and ice... the atmosphere and setting feel much more immersive and unique. That atmosphere/setting combined with fun gun play and detailed equipment and equipment modifications

D1 is an, 'ok', game. I suppose I was spoiled by first playing D2. The survivability factor seems harder in D1 and compared to D2, there really isn't any loot to speak of as you play. Most of the gear you'll need as you level up will come from completing missions and buying it off of vendors, unlike in D2 where you could find better gear by looting as you explored the city.

The gun-play isn't quite as fun in D1 and enemies are quite spongy. Some missions can get frustrating where if you die you have to start over from the beginning. I would suggest at that point doing something else, e.g run some side quests and save up some $$ to spend at the vendor for better gear. Unlike D2, exploring the city doesn't have any advantages, since there really isn't any loot to be obtained to better outfit your character.

Graphics wise, for an older game, the city looks great and is very immersive. Character movement is good, though I had to change a few key bindings to what I was used to in D2.

If you haven't played either of the Division games and don't really care about story, I would highly suggest just getting The Division 2.

But if you've already played D2, and want to see what D1 is all about, I would suggest getting it on sale. Its not worth the regular price of $30.

Not recommending as D2 is the much better, much improved Division game.

Great game with a fantastic story line and immersive gameplay.
Even though the game was released in 2016, it is a lot better than most of the game releases nowadays
You can very much play it alone but it is more fun with friends - gotta find friends :D

The gameplay and mission structure is mostly the typical Ubi schlock. The two biggest complaints I have is the 'the more health the more difficult' approach to enemies and the absolute crap that are pistols in this game. The world however and the atmosphere are absolutely incredible.

Say what you will about the gameplay and controversy surrounding this game when it launched, but it has INCREDIBLE atmosphere. Walking around the New York Ubisoft created is a treat, with the weather being the highlight. Snowstorms in this game are simply stunning, and I will always, always, remember this game fondly.

Its amazing to me how Ubisoft can make games like this that are just incredible and others that are absolute dumpster fires. This came out in 2016 and it still looks and plays better than most shooters today. I have the second game and I gotta say that this one is far more enjoyable. Its eerie playing this after Covid, and as someone who works with the medical side of international aid, pretty accurate in the feel of what a pandemic setting is like. The decon tents, command posts, security, and just atmosphere in general is close enough to make me feel a little creeped out at the thought of what could be at home. I really like the extensive customization and how the game encourages you to constantly be moving. Well worth $13 bucks if I do say so.

I wouldn't get it. I don't have much time, but I have tried to play this 6 or so times on different days and every time I have been booted shortly after going online, despite playing alone. It just says disconnected service not available, and I have fiber internet. It looks like it could be fun and the realistic graphics still hold up, but IF I CAN'T PLAY THE FUCKING GAME THEN WHAT GOOD IS THAT UBISOFT? YOU FUCKIN SHIT COMPANY.

I love the solid RPG elements, the deep story line and the excellent attention to detail in the world building and environmental ambiance this game sets. I prefer this game over The Division 2 and I have played through it several times.

Nice shooting and combat system, big collection of weapons, good graphics quality and great sound effects.

this game is pretty good
the atmosphere feels desperate
the gameplay feels really good
and this game feels like the Corona Virus pandemic, but with more guns.
i would defenitly recomend this game to anyone, who likes tactical 3rd person shooters, with a post apocolyptic vibe to it.

Ubisoft is allergic to greatness.

This game has the absolute best "major city wrecked by some kind of calamity" environment ever. This New York is so detailed and gorgeous, there is something visually interesting every five seconds, I've broken my screenshot key. And it is legitimately morbid and upsetting too, there are mass graves, families burned in their cars, homes ruined in riots and everything. A little TLC and you can do something that could outlastofus The Last of Us in here. And what did Ubisoft do?

Big fat nothing.

This is a dollar store Borderlands with cover system, and not very good one at that. Every boss-type enemy is just a regular guy but with gazillion HP, you just shoot at them very long. The final boss is the helicopter. The fountain of creativity right there.

And even if we suspend the disbelief on all that 50 headshots to kill a thug thing - the game has nothing to offer with its writing. There are tons of sad dead people's audiologs everywhere, but absolutely NOTHING dramatic here and now the whole way through. It's either dull and boring or wHaCkY and lol so random, and I don't know which is worse. Jesus, the sure thing was right there, the environment was capable to do almost all heavy lifting, the usual Ubisoft open-world story would work just fine here, but you managed to fail even that.

It's decent virtual tourism simulator and goes well with listening the podcasts or something, I guess.

What a waste.

Game would've been amazing if it actually respected the fucking player

I love just about every Rainbow Six, so I wanted to love this game, its open world, AND its Tom Clancy.. But man is it boring to play. The mission areas have all the action, but the between areas are kinda dull and boring.

Endgame contents are literally unplayable, bulletsponge enemies with the shittiest game mechanics i ever seen in my life.

Really fun looter-shooter in a well-realized world. Normally I'd say this sort of game isn't my jam, but for some reason The Division clicked for me and I had a great time playing it. It's old at this point and The Division 2 probably surpasses it in a lot of ways, but I'd still recommend this if you can buy it in a deep sale.

Great game. The missions are actually hard. Its not just shoot a whole magazine and win the game. You need to strategize with loadouts to win. I love it.

Ok i gonna be honest i do actually wanna recommend people to buy old games but when it come to looking at the game company i really cant say anything so nice.
1st problem: minor bugs some of the game story lines are broken or barely functions when you least expect it
2nd problem:Dead player base i checked the player count rate and only see 300-500 people still playing this game i mean it obvious this game barely gets any updates, there nothing new to add no special events so what are you gonna do once you 100% the entire game?
3rd problem: UBISOFT CONNECT SUCKS I DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN IT TO THE PEOPLE THAT USES IT
4th problem: Just buy the division 2 at least you got something better to do and the player count are higher than here (at least)
Last 5th problem: ALL PLAYERS ARE HIGH END GOOD LUCK PLAYING IN THE DARK ZONE CAUSE THAT PLACE IS A HELL HOLD I CANT EVEN GET A EXTRACTION DONE WITHOUT SOMEBODY CAMPING NEAR THE HELI AND PREPARING TO GO ROUGE
that's my review for this game, i hope yall reconsider your life choices ps: buy the gold edition it's more worth it.

If you like a real grind and low odds of receiving loot that is valuable this is a great game.
Great graphics, runs smooth, atmospheric, lots to do but it will take countless hours to upgrade weapons and gear.

I have recently started replaying this game on PC, after not playing it for a few years. It is as good as I remember it being. Playing it solo offers a solid challenge, so for new players they may find it easier to play with friends. Of which I have many good memories of playing this game on PS4 with my friends. Through out the game it makes you feel that your actions actually have an impact on what is happening around you. It is absolutely a game Id recommend to others. However the game does get very repetitive and grindy in the late game.

Also unlike what steam suggests this game DOES support controllers, it does it in game and not through steam.

This is a fun game for solo play, provided you know a couple of things.

1. Location Location Location.
Location is key in this game. If you find yourself in an area where the enemies are of a higher level, your favorite gun will feel like it's shooting BBs against guys in body armor. You will die. Hardcore gamers will find all the challenges they are looking for.

2. Side Missions and Activities
Be sure to do all the side missions and at least a few activities you find along the way. This will significantly smooth your progress through the game. It will also ensure your character level is sufficient for main missions to keep you alive.

3. Difficulty and Final Thought
When you first start, this game can be quite a challenge. But if you stick with it, that challenge transforms into a lot of fun. The first time you survive a large battle will validate your effort. These moments of triumph, combined with the game's story and exploration, make The Division an excellent game worth a play-through for any shooter fan.

best lootershooter ive ever played, im already hoping for the 3rd division game hopefully better than the first and second game.

the survival mode was insanely fun.
good story, fun overall things to do and challenging too.

The atmosphere and the open world are spot on. its probably the best looter shooter out there. The game is better playing with a friend but you con 100 per cent play solo matchmaking is also so simple. i have played both division games and i would say this one is the better game its just a shame they left it behind

Fun and engaging. played it on ps4 when it had 1st came out. now revisit it on pc still addicting specially after have gone to NY for a few days and trying to compare the city in game.

If there was no other videogame...and I had to play this for the rest of my life...this would be it... great atmosphere...very immersive...finished it 4 or 5 time...single player...difficult at times...just figured it out that you can matchmake..awesome game!

Yes you should still buy this game even if it's dead. Playing solo is just as good. I recommend asking a friend to buy the game with you and grinding together because that's the closest thing to multiplayer. Just don't buy the game when it's off sale. 30 dollars seems steep but I'm probably just poor. Just wait until Christmas because you can get the game crazy cheap (I got it for 10 dollars)

Anyways more about this game:
cool story
base building mechanic is pretty cool
third person is kinda annoying but seems reasonable for a game like this
extremely detailed but at amazing performance
no downsides in my opinion, just lack of multiplayer because dead

People say you should get the division 2 first because idk im too lazy to do reasearch

Great game dude

Id rank it #2 in my top 10 games ever

THIS IS IT.

This is, one of the last good ubisoft games, one of the last bastions of online play that is actually good in the ubisoft side of things. This game is not egregious with microtransactions, you aren't locked out of the game or out of cosmetics for not spending money. The game has solid gameplay in an openworld setting.

This game is highly immersive and is like the waves of a rollercoaster. Your usual moment to moment gameplay is very quiet, walking around listening to the ambience, having scavengers come up to you asking for supplies that you can give them until, you hear or see enemies or get to a quest, the game starts to get more chaotic and louder as it ramps up before it peaks with that final enemy finally dead and the quiet cold new york comes back. Christmas decorations all abandoned. This game's map design should be recognized as legendary open world design.

A grindy looter shooter with polished gunplay and experimental UI that's just annoying at times. The game makes everything you do a slog and I imagine the idea was to "see the beauty of the Big Apple" (and force higher play times) but there's only so long I can look at skyscrapers.

It's not bad for just turning your brain off and shooting, but there really isn't much substance here.

An astounding game with enticing gameplay and an immersive environment. I mean, a post-apocalyptic wintery 1-to-1 map of New York? Absolutely incredible.

The worst ubisoft game i have ever played, even if enemies are like 5 level lower than you they still 5 shot you do death (even if you have the best gear available), every time enemy spawns they just ignore you doing damage and just pushes towards you and just kills you with 5 shots even if they are 5 levels lower than you which doesn´t make any f_u_c_k_i_n_g sense but hey its ubisofts game so you know they cannot make working game. Legendary enemies drops are much worse than normal enemies which again doesn´t make any sense . At least division 2 isnt as buggy as this is, now enemies can shoot trough walls and can spawn straight behind you so you can die instantly (ubisofts quality again).I also like it when playing certain missions and you get to certan point the delay when enemies spawn are when they are against your face. Oh and also you can get locked inside a safe house because the door doesn´t open so you have to log out and log back in to fix it. Ammo boxes are the rarest thing on this game, you have to go to safe or play main mission to get ammo because i havent seen ammo boxes anywhere else. I thought in 2016 ubisoft was still making good games but eeeeeeehhh NOUP you thought wrong. they made the good and working games like around 2010.

if u like farming (as same kind of Borderlands) this game will be a good choice
but if you focus on drama or u are easily moved by political topics, this game is not for u
Do not touch the PVP in this game, An officially abandoned game is unlikely to be satisfactory in terms of anti-cheating

finally played, am on linux, only works if you have a vpn running, odd.

this game is really awesome, very cinematic in moments, get it while it's on sale! the endgame does fall flat without a party of people though

I'm still coming back to this game from time to time to extract from the Dark Zone in the Survival mode. The game has a unique snowy atmosphere, which is a big miss in TD2.

Amazingly, people are still playing in 2024!
The game itself actually is pretty decent, especially when playing with friends.

I found it interesting that this game (to me at least) came off quite a bit harder then the 2nd game in the series. I like the more darker tone of the game compared to the newer one, maybe it is just cause of the story line but yea. I like the game and the sort of situation you are dealing with inside the game.

Shooter likes to shoot over shooters New York is better than DC

Visuals and music are just <3<3<3. Gameplay is also very unique and satisfying, and I'm not even a fan of RPG's. Underrated gem.
