Tom Clancy's The Division 2 review

Tom Clancy's The Division 2 ranks ninth and is the open-world pick. Ubisoft describes a tactical third-person shooter set in Washington, D.C. after a pandemic, built on cover-based firefights where positioning and gadgets decide fights. You loot and craft gear, learn skills and choose Specializations such as long-range marksman, demolition expert or survivalist leader. Co-op supports up to three other agents, and missions scale with the squad. After the campaign, there are endgame missions, PvP battles, world events and seasonal rewards. On Steam, 79% of 18,380 English reviews are positive, and the listing shows a Metacritic score of 84. At $29.99, it is cheap for the amount of content. Steam lists only partial controller support and in-app purchases, and the minimum spec requires a CPU with SSE 4.2 and AVX. It suits players who like long-term gear progression more than a short story.
