Tom Clancy’s The Division™

this game is absolutly ( I spelt that wrong ) worth every penny the game is realistic and very fun to play

coming back to the game after so many years, used to play on console. Survival mode DLC is where the fun is at imo

recently re downloaded this game to see how everything was after all the updates (last played around 2018 on ps4) and its so cool to still see other people playing. if you do download this game you HAVE to try out the survival mode!

The Atmosphere of this game is UNMATCHED you cant beat it! The dense fog and snow coming down all the cars and buildings that are street level. there is so much to do on this game completing it 100% is something i dont think you can actually achive. Now for the missions and side missions they are fun and can be very hard to beat. BUT if you want 100% death then please visit the DZ (Dark Zone). i was in there today, clapping yellow level 34's picking up gear. i then turned around and im looking at another agent pointing a shotgun at my dome. i died. then died 4 more times. by the same guy! then ranaway then died 2 more times by LMB soldiers.

I bought The Division 2 first and really enjoyed it. So I picked this up for my kid and I to play and am having a blast! Still a great game in 2024, just wish more people played MP still!

If this game had a star rating, it would be zero. I played for one hour and encountered 4 -- count them FOUR -- game-ending bugs that made progress stop. The first one was the first step in the tutorial. Certain things just stop working randomly like running or interacting with doors and you have to fully exit the game and restart to get them to work again. If you're on a mission, you have to start over and hope it doesn't break again. Not to mention the fact that the keyboard controls are weird, over-complicated, and downright unintuitive. I wanted to like this game, but if I can't actually play it, how can I give it a thumbs up?

This game is currently broken. I've been invincible for the past two sessions and can only be damaged by melee, abilities, and grenades in PVE. PVP is not fun at all and the coolest area in the game is full of players who will go rogue and then quickly down you before you can do anything about it. Pretty lame. I've played a lot of this one but the second game has much worse writing. The writing in this game is passable but the writing in Division 2 is just cringe.

For a game released 8 years ago it is great!
Game mechanics feel a bit dated compared
to modern titles.

A good Christmas time game if you don't mind typical Ubisoft shit (server disconnects, bullet sponge enemies, game breaking bugs).

Multiplayer is almost dead...

Its too bad that ubisoft is behind this game because Massive Entertainment did a fantastic job but the need for the uplay launcher and the reliability of the online-only gameplay are serious turn offs. In my opinion, if you can get this game on discount then I highly recommend it.

This game is real good. I enjoy basically all the content for this game.

Pros ::
- If you like single player games for story, the campaign is long by todays standards and fun. You can play co-op with your friends and you can pretend the game doesn't have PvP or anything like that in it.
- This game has a decent amount of PvE endgame content also. Missions can be replayed on higher difficulty, and it feels real good to be able to beat them when all the enemies are harder.
- Gear sets, exotic items, and gear talents allow for a huge variety of engame gear line-ups that all work well and allow you to customize how you play.
- Division Tech abilities are real cool and fun to use. They feel good when you use them well.
- Darkzone is real fun (when hackers aren't too involved!). I get the same sort of thrill from the darkzone in this game that I would get from a game like DayZ, where when you run into other people, you don't know if they will try to kill you, or if you can talk to them and maybe even join up. OR you can just go rogue and see how many people you can murder and rob before they take you down or you get away!
- PvP balance is better than... maybe any shooter where you have RPG/Borderlands style stats? Still far from perfect, see 'cons'.
- Gears of War style cover system. Not as flawless and seamless as GoW, but if you enjoy controlling your character like this, it will feel good.

Cons ::
- After you beat the main story that came with the game, there has only been a small amount of additional story since, even though they released several large patches and 3 expansions.
- While having cool Division Tech abilities in general is really cool, they are not all created equal. Some abilities or particular mods are -very- good and easy to use, while others are so bad they are essentially useless. This hopefully continues to be less true as the game gets more patches, but we will see.
- PvP can be a real bad experience if you run into hackers. I know this is true with any game, but the PvP in this game goes really hard with the "high risk, high reward" feel. So to lose all of your loot/progress to someone who isn't playing fair doesn't feel great.
- Visual character customization is garbage. The polar opposite of how good it feels to equip whatever sets of gear you want. You get a handful of faces and hairstyles, and then I guess tattoos if you want to look a little unique. 99% of the cosmetic wearables you get are -very- similar looking, and they count the same item of a different color to be a completely different item. This means you will be gathering clothing basically forever, and changing your looks is real tedious because you have to thumb through 10 different "puffy jackets" that only vaguely look different than the "all-weather jackets". And the colors available are usually some variety of gray or beige, with the rare purple or something tossed in. Also, none of them are even alphabetically organized. Just awful.
- Currently (patch 1.6) there is no "search" functionality for looking at your items. This game could benefit heavily from something like this, as it is awful to put loadouts together like this. Do note that Loadouts are a thing that is coming to the game, but it would still be nice to be able to search and sort gear.
- General performance issues keep people with lower power PCs from playing this game. Like, this game is good looking, but that mostly comes from the incredible attention to detail in everything. The actual graphics look real bleh for how hard this thing rails on graphics cards.
- Ubisoft TAINTS everything they touch.

All in all, I think this game is worth the money at it's full currant price. Most of the people leaving negative reviews here on Steam even often say they like the game, but it's not as good as it could be. This game has many solid hours of entertainment behind it, and future patches promise more.

EASILY one of my favorite games of all time! The combat is very fun and satisfying, the story and characters are so good and the setting is one of THE best I've seen in any game in a long time (I <3 the vast, snowy, empty Manhattan setting so much)

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.
