Sam Loveridge (GamesRadar+)
4.5/5 stars
“The Division 2 is a seriously accomplished looter shooter, with a gameplay loop that keeps on giving, and an endgame that will keep you playing for months (or years) to come.”
Edmond Tran (GameSpot)
9/10
“Fantastic world design, exciting combat, and a seemingly unending sense of meaningful progression make it easy to get completely rapt by The Division 2.”
Chris Carter (Destructoid)
8.5/10
“Witnessing an entire squad full of players who are using completely different abilities in what is essentially a cover-based tactical shooter is quite the sight. It still has that semi-grindy feel, but it’s engaging in the sense that the grind is never a chore.”

3DNews | Алексей Лихачев | 9 / 10 | 03-23-2019 | This is what we expect from games as a service: huge amount of content (at launch day!), exciting endgame and a lot of quality-of-life changes which were never implemented by other competitors. | Read review |
AbsoluteXbox | Andy Langers | 5 / 5 stars | 03-26-2019 | If you like shooters in any way shape or form I’d totally recommend this, even if you don’t like shared world shooters this is perfectly playable throughout the campaign in solo but it definitely becomes more fun if you get a little squad together and roam the streets of Washington together, the depth of the content here is vast and there is a huge amount of enjoyment to be had in the world, looking at Ubisoft’s pedigree with Games as a Service this one looks like it will run for a very long time. | Read review |

Atomix | Alberto Desfassiaux | 88 / 100 | 03-25-2019 | Ubisoft just nailed it. Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is the loot shooter you’ve been waiting for. Great Game. | Read review |
Attack of the Fanboy | Kyle Hanson | 4 / 5 stars | 03-17-2019 | Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is the ideal sequel for those who enjoyed its predecessor. It builds on what worked, changes what didn’t, and delivers a great new map to explore. | Read review |
AusGamers | Kosta Andreadis | 9.2 / 10 | 03-25-2019 | The Division 2 is not only a refined follow-up, it’s the arguably the best ooter shooter’ this generation has seen. | Read review |
BaziCenter | Bahram Bigharaz | 8 / 10 | 03-25-2019 | The second entry in The Division series has improved greatly in almost every aspect, and can be easily considered as one of the best multiplayer role playing titles ever, and the experience could have been just flawless if not for the weak story and some enemy AI issues. | Read review |
Bazimag | Unknown | 9.2 / 10 | 03-22-2019 | The Division 2 is a complete package of thrill and excitement that can last for an infinity amount of time. Experiencing it is a must for fans of the first game, fans of 3RD person shooters, fans of team-based and online games and open world genre. You are facing a game that knows its fundamentals very well and upgrades its identity fearlessly. Although gameplay is really great, you shouldn’t expect a flawless game, without bugs and valuable story. If you are looking for a game with long time support, you should definitely play The Division 2. | Read review |
But Why Tho? | Rashaad Johnson | 9 / 10 | 03-25-2019 | The Division 2 does some things great, a lot of things good, and a few things bad, but with the team over at Massive Entertainment having proven their transparency and that they are on top of issues, I can tell that the game will only get better as it ages. | Read review |
Cerealkillerz | Gabriel Bogdan | 8.5 / 10 | 03-17-2019 | Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 expands the established gameplay mechanics and the world from its predecessor with amazing endgame content and lots of surprising enemy variety that was missed in The Division. Sadly the story sinks in the crowd of countless objectives and new content, which together with some gameplay bugs and glitches doesn’t let the title reach its full potential. | Read review |
CGMagazine | Mike Cosimano | 5 / 10 | 03-22-2019 | With a stronger endgame and a solid loot treadmill, The Division 2 preaches to the choir, fully uninterested in converting those who find the series unpleasant to play for one reason or another. | Read review |
Cheat Code Central | Jenni Lada | 3.9 / 5 stars | 03-26-2019 | The Division 2 is a game that hit the ground running. Its story isn’t the best and can be quite divisive, due to it not committing to the bit. However, the content necessary to make it a success is there. | Read review |
Checkpoint Gaming | Luke Mitchell | Recommended | 03-18-2019 | With a deep, interesting city full of content to explore and an endgame that seems very fleshed out, The Division 2 is incredible value, and will likely go down as one of the most successful sequels of all time. | Read review |
COGconnected | Paul Sullivan | 86 / 100 | 03-24-2019 | The Division 2 sets a new bar for online loot shooters with fun and diverse encounter design, and more importantly, once again sets the expectation of releasing a feature complete product. It’s not the prettiest pony out there, nor does it possess a strong narrative, but the amount of sheer fun on tap either solo or with friends is sky high. | Read review |
Critical Hit | Darryn Bonthuys | 9 / 10 | 03-25-2019 | As a first step towards a future of more live service content, The Division 2 already feels amazingly complete. It works from day one, its various systems are staggeringly deep and its combat is in a class of its own. Everything else that’s still to come over the next couple of years? That’s a satisfying cherry on top of an already massive sundae of excellence. | Read review |
Cubed3 | Josh Di Falco | 9 / 10 | 06-03-2019 | Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 has thrown its hat into the ring for being a possible ‘Game of the Year’ contender for 2019. | Read review |
Cultured Vultures | Emil Gunnarsson | 8 / 10 | 03-22-2019 | Despite squandering a great setting and premise, The Division 2 is an incredibly fun game to play which improves on almost everything the first one brought to the table. | Read review |
Daily Mirror | Matt Osborn | 4 / 5 stars | 03-20-2019 | Post-apocalyptic Washington DC is a joy to explore with the game offering so much from the very start | Read review |
Daily Star | Jim Hargreaves | 4 / 5 stars | 03-21-2019 | The end result is a loot shooter far more confident and coherent than what we’ve seen before. Ubisoft Massive has learned from past mistakes, side-stepping those same pitfalls to deliver a sequel that feels dense without becoming tangled. There are still some rough edges and the burden of carrying a limp story but, ultimately, The Division 2 triumphs over everything else this genre currently has to offer. | Read review |
Destructoid | Chris Carter | 8.5 / 10 | 03-18-2019 | Witnessing an entire squad full of players who are using completely different abilities in what is essentially a cover-based tactical shooter is quite the sight.

Digital Chumps | Ben Sheene | 9.5 / 10 | 10-01-2018 | Since its announcement, Massive and Ubisoft have said all the right things about The Division 2, from a wealth of content to a robust endgame. For once, it’s refreshing to see the reality be more than mere words as The Division 2 sets a new standard for the genre. This is the high bar “games as a service” should aspire to. | Read review |
Digitally Downloaded | Nick H. | 4.5 / 5 stars | 04-01-2019 | Just about everything else The Division 2 does is fantastic, and I have found myself logging back into it over and over again as I further explore what the game has to offer. | Read review |
DualShockers | Michael Ruiz | 8 / 10 | 03-22-2019 | Ubisoft’s latest entry in its third-person shooter franchise The Division is a breath of fresh air in a world filled with flawed loot shooters. | Read review |
Easy Allies | Michael Huber | 4 / 5 stars | 04-02-2019 | With tactical combat encounters, lots of room to specialize your equipment, and the tense dark zones, The Division 2 improves on the original in nearly every way. | Read review |
Eurogamer | Johnny Chiodini | Not Recommended | 03-18-2019 | The Division 2 manages to improve upon the original formula in almost every way, but its tale and tone are frequently awful. | Read review |
Everyeye.it | Alessandro Bruni | 8.7 / 10 | 03-18-2019 | After spending three years effectively processing the community feedback of the first chapter, Massive Entertainment has put together a fun and well-rounded play package that leaves behind many of its predecessor’s flaws. | Read review |
Flickering Myth | Shaun Munro | 8.5 / 10 | 03-19-2019 | The Division 2 keeps an impressive number of plates spinning while skirting clear of the soulless live-service void. It isn’t perfect by any means, but Massive has done a remarkable job of making a potentially messy experience feel uncommonly holistic. | Read review |
Forbes | Paul Tassi | 9 / 10 | 03-21-2019 | This is a big win for Massive, Ubisoft and players themselves. | Read review |
Game Informer | Matt Bertz | 9 / 10 | 03-18-2019 | The story falls short, but The Division 2 is filled with loops to keep you invested in upgrading your agent well beyond the endgame, including gear score optimization, Dark Zone ventures, and daily challenges | Read review |
Game Rant | Kyle Sledge | 4.5 / 5 stars | 03-20-2019 | The Division 2 provides an incredible wealth of loot-centric content, and includes tight gameplay mechanics, challenging and engaging combat, a huge open world, and more. | Read review |
Game Revolution | Mack Ashworth | 4 / 5 stars | 03-21-2019 | Ultimately, The Division 2 is a safe sequel for Massive Entertainment to have made and is a safe purchase for anyone looking to grind for loot in a well-paced, co-op experience set within a gorgeous open world. | Read review |
Game Volt | Mohamed Ashmawy | 8.8 / 10 | 03-18-2019 | The Division 2 is a result of the studio listening to every criticism received in the first game and updating the system of multiplayer also game content and end game content which makes it surely the best Looter Shooter in the current generation without any controversy only a better story is all we were hoping for, but no game in This genre started with this quality and this stability so far | Read review |
Gameblog | Vincent Elmer-Haerrig | 8 / 10 | 03-18-2019 | The Division 2 is not a new game that upturns the tea table on Washington. It obviously uses all things that made the success of the first one and it is difficult to blame him on that. However, it refines a large number of aspects with small adjustments. This makes it more enjoyable and even more effective if you can play regularly as a team to go even further and live intense moments in the Dark Zone. Did you like The Division? You will love the Division 2. But do not ask this sequel to turn black in white. | Read review |
GameCrate | Nate Hohl | 8.5 / 10 | 03-21-2019 | The Division 2 is everything a player could want in a sequel. It reinvents and recalibrates where it must, but it also wisely builds off all the work Ubisoft put into refining the first Division. This sequel definitely makes you work for your rewards, but its fine-tuned gameplay and expansive suite of different activities ensures the journey towards earning those rewards is one worth taking. | Read review |
Gamefa | Mohammad Aria Moghaddam | 9.1 / 10 | 03-19-2019 | Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is the best game of 2019 so far and another masterpiece by Ubisoft in this generation. Thank to it’s beautiful mission design, amazing atmosphere, handy gun play and also using different skills, tactics and RPG elements can make you love the new ubisoft game. The Division 2 is easily one of the best MMOs ever made for any player with any taste, either you play it solo or team-based. | Read review |
GameGrin | Calum Parry | 9 / 10 | 04-25-2019 | The Division 2 is a vast improvement over its predecessor straight from launch. With improvements in every area of design, whether you’re playing solo, with friends there is a wealth of content to keep you occupied. Right now, it’s definitely worth the asking price and will certainly keep you coming back, but even if you wait there will be even more content to play in the coming years. | Read review |
GameHaunt | Excelle Escalada | 5 / 5 stars | 03-15-2019 | The formidable game content, mesmerizing graphics and comprehensive weapon system makes TD2 fun to play. Ubisoft has done fabulous work and brought many upgrades from the last game. | Read review |
GameMAG | Unknown | 8 / 10 | 03-22-2019 | Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 surpasses The Division in all ways. It’s a great co-op shooter with nice graphics, detailed environments and interesting battles. | Read review |
Gameplanet | Alan Bell | 9 / 10 | 03-21-2019 | The Division 2 is easily the best of its type; it has the right balance of fun, challenge, dopamine loot drops, and sweet graphics that all but guarantee I’ll be playing this one for a long, long time to come. If you haven’t jumped in yet and think this might be for you, hesitate no longer | Read review |

Gamers Heroes | Blaine Smith | 8 / 10 | 03-20-2019 | Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 raises the bar for the looter shooter genre. Put simply, it is the complete package. | Read review |
Gamersky | 不倒翁蜀黍 | 7.5 / 10 | 03-16-2019 | With a decent end-game experience, The Division 2 becomes much better than its prequel, and I believe it’s even better than Destiny 2 and much superior to Anthem. However, the PS4 version has been suffered a serious Bug which repeatedly crashes the game since its initial release day. | Read review |
GamesBeat | Dennis Scimeca | 95 / 100 | 04-05-2019 | The Division 2 is surely the game that fans of The Division wanted to play and that Massive Entertainment wanted to deliver the first time around. Good things come to Division agents who wait. | Read review |
GameSkinny | John Schutt | 8 / 10 | 03-20-2019 | The Division 2 is an improvement on the first game in almost every way, and it’s both a fun game and a satisfying investment. | Read review |
GameSpew | Richard Seagrave | 9 / 10 | 03-21-2019 | In developing The Division 2, Ubisoft has taken what worked from the first game and listened to fans, creating a follow up that’s captivating and densely packed with things to do. If you like third-person shooters or love loot, it’s a must-buy. | Read review |

GameZone | Cade Onder | 9 / 10 | 03-28-2019 | What Ubisoft has done with The Division 2 is something every developer should aspire to do. Not only did they address major complaints from the last game but they made substantial innovations in the form of progression, structure, content, gameplay, and more. Without a doubt, The Division 2 is the ultimate sequel anyone could ask for, full stop. | Read review |
Gaming Nexus | Rob Larkin | 8.8 / 10 | 04-04-2019 | The Division 2 takes a step forward on the original in just about every area. | Read review |
GamingBolt | Shubhankar Parijat | 9 / 10 | 03-19-2019 | The Division 2 is by far the easiest recommendation at launch this genre has had in many, many years, and is very well positioned to become the definitive looter shooter experience out there. | Read review |
GamingTrend | Ron Burke | 90 / 100 | 03-27-2019 | With an incredibly robust feature set and massive swaths of content ready for the launch window, as well as an extensive roadmap on the horizon, The Division 2 raises the bar for how a sequel should launch. Only a handful of minor bugs and hiccups remain, but none of them hold this back from being the best team-based shooter we’ve played in a very long time. Massive Entertainment has a massive hit on their hands, and we can’t wait to see where it goes next. | Read review |
GBAtemp | Krista Noren | 9.1 / 10 | 04-13-2019 | Massive’s dedication and care to development have resulted in The Division 2 definitively being one of this year’s best games thus far. | Read review |
GearNuke | Khurram Imtiaz | 8.5 / 10 | 03-21-2019 | As flawed as the first The Division ended up being, it was still an enjoyable experience. The sequel doesn’t take a revolutionary leap forward and rather just settles on improving every flaw, but sadly this comes with a downgrade in the scope of the story which is unfortunate. | Read review |
Geek Culture | Jake Su | 9.3 / 10 | 04-02-2019 | The Division 2 could have been a mess, but wonderful combat, loot, and missions will ensure you have a great time no matter how far you are into the game. | Read review |
Geeks Under Grace | Joe Morgan | 8.5 / 10 | 04-24-2019 | While the narrative in The Division 2 suffers from weak characters and the visuals feel worn, the gameplay and mission design in this fantastic loot-shooter will keep you and some friends engaged for weeks. | Read review |
God is a Geek | Mick Fraser | 9 / 10 | 03-20-2019 | A triumphant follow-up that sets the bar for the looter-shooter. There are some teething issues, but The Division 2 is an incredibly polished product, and downright compelling at the same time. | Read review |
GotGame | Paul Jennette | 7.5 / 10 | 03-27-2019 | In light of a half-hearted predecessor and a lot of skepticism going in, The Division 2 delivers in what it sets out to do. It’s an exciting third-person co-op experience with the run and gun of the original capitalized on in the best way possible for the current generation. | Read review |
GRYOnline.pl | Dariusz Matusiak | 8 / 10 | 03-19-2019 | Despite a few setbacks, The Division 2 is a good sequel ever since day one, and should become even better in time. It seems that there wasn’t any content cut from the final version, which is by no means self-evident nowadays. If you didn’t like the first game, you probably won’t find anything of interest here… But we recommend you gave it a try anyway. The design of the city is superb and combat is genuine fun. | Read review |
Guardian | Edwin Evans-Thirlwell | 2 / 5 stars | 03-19-2019 | Post-apocalyptic Washington DC is splendidly imagined but the insipid techno-thriller plot ensures the struggle to save civilisation can’t be won | Read review |
Hardcore Gamer | Chris Shive | 4 / 5 stars | 03-20-2019 | Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is good overall with some shortcomings. | Read review |
Hobby Consolas | David Martinez | 90 / 100 | 03-14-2019 | The Division 2 has way more content than the original, it is set in a bigger more varied city, and shows great balance in loot and character levelling. It is too conservative in gameplay and level design, but we still love its gunplay and cover system. Review in progress. | Read review |
Hynerd.it | Unknown | 8 / 10 | 04-06-2019 | Massive Entertainment’s new work shows clearly that is a step forward compared to its precursor, filling up those gaps that made the product not really enjoyable and quite boring. With a valuable graphic, a Washington city well recreated and an exciting gameplay, The Division 2 can now catch the attention of the player not really interested about the game, thanks to small and big new features. Even if the audio system, especially during dialogs, could have been improved, it’s evident the effort and the passion standing behind this project. Waiting for more contents to come. | Read review |
IGN | James Duggan | 8.5 / 10 | 03-21-2019 | The Division 2’s campaign is full of great gunplay, loot, and missions. Only toward the end of my 60 hours of play did it start to suffer from a lack of interesting incentives, but the journey was enough fun that it made up for the destination. | Read review |
IGN Spain | David Soriano | 8.5 / 10 | 03-12-2019 | The Division 2 does not suppose any massive revolution in its formula, nor pretends to be it, given the good taste of mouth that the first one left. It more than meets the “more and better” expected of a sequel. | Read review |
Impulsegamer | Daniel Coomans | 4.2 / 5 stars | 03-28-2019 | Apart from some minor repetitive issues throughout the game, including endgame content of which I haven’t managed to explore it all, it seems that Ubisoft has learned a number of important lessons from the first game | Read review |
INDIANTVCZ | Tereza Krečová | 8 / 10 | 04-01-2019 | Running through sunny Washington from one mission to another and the content of which is almost no different from the first installment. That’s not something every player would devour. On the other hand: the game full of action, rewards and content for dozens of hours is the right recipe for a good time. And The Division 2 has managed to show that its concept, which does not change in any way, can be improved and also that developers are able to prevent most mistakes made in the first game. Still you will be stranded on the crossroad to decide whether the second part of this endless fight is the right choice for you. | Read review |
Jump Dash Roll | Daniel Garrod | 9 / 10 | 04-17-2019 | The Division 2 is a hefty step-up from its predecessor, with a massive amount of content to keep you engaged for weeks. Massive has created a truly engaging shared world game which remembers it’s the players, and not the shareholders, that come first and foremost. | Read review |
Just Push Start | Oliver East | 4.25 / 5 stars | 03-20-2019 | Many of the positives of the orignal have been captured and bundled with a host of improvements, yet The Division 2 still feels like more of the same. Taken on face value this might sound negative but as the original helped the hours pass by, and the sequel matches this, and you start to realise this is another great game from Ubisoft. Built on the core shooter gameplay, the cover based combat is fast paced and explosive – without being too over the top. | Read review |

Merlin’in Kazanı | Furkan Sakoğlu | 83 / 100 | 03-18-2019 | The Division 2 is looking and feeling great at first glimpse. It seems Massive Entertainment has improved almost every aspect of the game from the first Division. Also, the free expansions are really great because the community will not be split across the season. | Read review |
Metro GameCentral | Unknown | 7 / 10 | 03-19-2019 | An ambitious but competent sequel that already has some of the best endgame content of any similar game… if you can stomach the offensively apolitical, and thoroughly boring, storytelling. | Read review |
MMOGames | TheDCD | 8.5 / 10 | 03-19-2019 | While The Division 2 may have some things that still need fixing, it’s a work of testament for the team at Massive Entertainment, showing that they’ve learned from previous mistakes (for the most part), and that they’re ready to move forward with the model that players rightfully deserve. | Read review |
MMORPG.com | Christopher Coke | 9 / 10 | 03-29-2019 | Like all games-as-a-service, it’s only going to get better with time. Unlike most recently, it’s already a great video game which leaves me very excited for what’s to come. | Read review |
MSPoweruser | Lewis White | 7 / 10 | 03-14-2019 | The Division 2 feels like a full package. It isn’t always as polished as we’ve come to expect from a AAA experience, but then it does have the expected Ubisoftisms about it. It’s buggy, but never intrusive. It has some questionable microtransactions, but they don’t ever really affect you. It’s repetitive and utterly meaningless, but it can be an incredibly satisfying experience. | Read review |
Nerd Much? | Jordan Harrington | 9 / 10 | 04-03-2019 | LOOT IS AT THE VERY HEART AND SOUL OF A LOOTER/SHOOTER, AND THE DIVISION 2 GIVES US ALL THAT WE HAVE BEEN BEGGING AND PLEADING FOR FOR SO LONG | Read review |
New Game Network | Tim Reid | 82 / 100 | 03-30-2019 | Though Washington D.C. lacks the memorable atmosphere of snow-bound New York, and you probably won’t care about the plot or characters, The Division 2 is a significantly more robust game at launch. It offers another incredibly detailed open world and a myriad of small tweaks and additions, with a promising future ahead. | Read review |
Nexus | Robert de Wit | 9 / 10 | 03-21-2019 | The Division 2 offers a fantastic loot-and-shoot experience, and one that doesn’t actually make it feel like a grind to get to the Endgame, where all the good loot is. The story is serious enough to make tasks memorable, and the side content is fulfilling and contributes to the game’s progression. | Read review |
NoobFeed | Sarwar Ron | 85 / 100 | 04-11-2019 | You cannot afford to miss Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 which is an excellent game and a fine addition to the genre. | Read review |
Oyungezer Online | Sabri Erkan Sabancı | 8.5 / 10 | 03-18-2019 | I wasn’t expecting to see such a polished endgame content. The Division 2 sets the bar very high for looter-shooter games and it intimidates me to think there are lots more content to come in the upcoming months. I wonder what’s Bungie and BioWare doing at the moment? | Read review |
Pardis Game | Shahab Zareei | 8.5 / 10 | 04-01-2019 | Division 2 is an improvement to its predecessor in many ways. | Read review |
PC Gamer | Samuel Roberts | 82 / 100 | 03-18-2019 | A packed, rewarding, and frequently thrilling looter shooter that should have a bright future. | Read review |
PC Invasion | Jason Rodriguez | 8 / 10 | 03-16-2019 | The Division 2 is an online, shared-world looter-shooter done properly from the start. Massive Entertainment have crafted an engaging experience worth sticking to for the long haul. | Read review |
PCGamesN | Jordan Forward | 9 / 10 | 03-22-2019 | The Division 2 is a substantial evolution on the mechanics of the first game, with a more immersive world to boot. This is an impressively complete game, with heaps to offer players across all of its content prongs and a level of polish that belies the size of the game’s open world. | Read review |
PlayStation LifeStyle | Chandler Wood | 9 / 10 | 03-28-2019 | The numbers game behind looter RPGs can get a little daunting, but The Division 2 does a great job at ramping its players into the RPG mechanics at a comfortable pace. The opening campaign introduces you to the game and the world, while the endgame provides a compelling grind worthy of returning to day after day. It’s a bit weak in the story department, but it’s a lot of fun to play, especially with a friend or three. The Division 2 nails the reasons that players enter the gameplay loop and grind out new gear, making repetition feel dynamic and fresh. completing that promise of a “Diablo as a third-person shooter.” This is one you’ll want to get into on the grind ground floor. | Read review |
PlayStation Universe | John-Paul Jones | 8.5 / 10 | 03-20-2019 | An ultimately conservative though meaningful improvement upon the previous Division title in every way, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 stands as a sterling third-person loot shooter experience that is best enjoyed with friends and is one which plays host to an evocative setting that lingers in the memory. | Read review |
Polygon | Owen Good | Recommended | 03-22-2019 | And, while the story-based campaign and leveling system provide plenty of thrills, it takes about 50 hours to actually get to the real shit. The endgame is where I can now choose between playing as a sniper, a bomber, or a non-specific character who can do a bit of everything, and join up with other super-achievers to take down a tougher gang called the Black Tusk. | Read review |
Post Arcade (National Post) | Chad Sapieha | Recommended | 03-15-2019 | Massive’s loot shooter sticks its landing and is well worth fans’ time, even if it leaves room for improvement | Read review |
PowerUp! | Ryan Rivetz | 8.7 / 10 | 03-24-2019 | The Division 2 has incorporated everything that the first title initially lacked and then added more. It will provide hours of satisfying fun | Read review |
PSX Brasil | Júlio César Souza Pires | 92 / 100 | 03-27-2019 | To say that The Division 2 is a complete game is redundant. The story isn’t so interesting, but the gameplay makes you always want to go further. Improvements on gameplay mechanics catch the player’s attention for many hours, fair reward system, and an endgame that helps the player to improve its characters make The Division 2 a great experience in 2019. | Read review |
Push Square | Robert Ramsey | 7 / 10 | 03-22-2019 | Right now, The Division 2 stands strong as an addictive, well designed, and complete looter shooter. For how dynamic and intricate it is, its open world sets the bar for the genre, and its tense, tactical combat is, for the most part, a real joy. | Read review |
Rectify Gaming | Adam Ferrero | 8.5 / 10 | 04-16-2019 | The Division 2 is a fantastic action-shooter that invites players to take their own approach to a beautifully ruined Washington D.C. | Read review |
Reno Gazette-Journal | Jason Hidalgo | 8 / 10 | 04-06-2019 | The Division 2 might not walk like a traditional Tom Clancy game or quack like a traditional Tom Clancy game. But it’s still a fun title that exemplifies a loot shooter done right. The story could admittedly be better fleshed out and it suffers from some bugs and hiccups here and there. At a time when some highly-anticipated game launches over-promise and under-deliver, however, it’s nice to see a game that feels complete right off the bat. | Read review |
Rock, Paper, Shotgun | Brendan Caldwell | Recommended | 03-19-2019 | I find it better to approach this as a good waste of time, a detailed disasterworld to saunter through for a couple of weeks. | Read review |
Saudi Gamer | سندس الخباز | 8 / 10 | 03-24-2019 | one of the most enjoyably co-op looter shooter experiences in 2019. DC open world is filled with main and side missions, in addition to Dark zone mode that is now more fun and fair due to Normalization policy. Finally, endgame content adds new depth that push players to keep on playing. | Read review |
Saving Content | Scott Ellison II | 5 / 5 stars | 03-27-2019 | Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is absolutely packed with content and things to do, and those things to do never, ever get boring. There’s so much to talk about still, but this is such a wonderfully crafted game. With such a focus on longevity and setting the bar so high for quality of activities, it gives me the confidence in this game, and its future updates. I’ve never before seen such care taken into account for all players at every turn of a game. This is the most improved sequel ever made. Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is simply astounding. | Read review |
Screen Rant | Cody Gravelle | 4.5 / 5 stars | 03-28-2019 | The Division 2 in its entirety is a technical masterpiece, a game that’s tactics shine the longer you stay without the usual genre contaminations. | Read review |
SECTOR.sk | Branislav Kohút | 8 / 10 | 03-18-2019 | USA needs help of agents… again. This time to save Washington, DC. It is still amusing fight, escpecially in cooperation. However without big inovations. | Read review |
Shacknews | Josh Hawkins | 8 / 10 | 03-25-2019 | Sure, The Division 2 isn’t perfect. Those hoping for an in-depth and engaging story will find themselves extremely disappointed in the meager offering on hand here. But, if you can overlook that, you’ll find an amazing experience beneath that is just teeming with engaging content. | Read review |

Slant Magazine | Aaron Riccio | 3.5 / 5 stars | 03-22-2019 | The game doesn’t rely on narrative reasons to entice the player, leaning instead on endorphin-releasing gameplay hooks. | Read review |
Softpedia | Silviu Stahie | 9 / 10 | 03-25-2019 | Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is a winner for Ubisoft and proof that smart things can be done with loot shooters if they are handled the right way. | Read review |
SomHráč.sk | Gabriel Klimo | 80 / 100 | 03-24-2019 | Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is without a doubt a very good game. Concept and mechanics introduced by its predecessor are almost identical, but now even better. If you enjoyed the first game, you will be certainly satisfied with the sequel too. | Read review |
SpazioGames | Valentino Cinefra | 8.5 / 10 | 03-18-2019 | Ubisoft Massive learned from its errors in creating The Division 2, which is somehow similar, but bigger and better for the most part. | Read review |
Stevivor | Steve Wright | Recommended | 03-14-2019 | While I’d love to see out the whole thing – the main story, not the time sink endgame – coop, it’s how The Division 2 performs as a single-player campaign that may ultimately decide how far I take this fight. | Read review |
TechRaptor | Dan Hodges | 8.5 / 10 | 03-19-2019 | Despite the bland and forgettable story, The Division 2 offers a sizable expansion on the first game’s foundation, providing an excellent loot-shooter with great combat, sharp AI, compelling loot, and a polished presentation. | Read review |
Telegraph | Tom Hoggins | Recommended | 03-13-2019 | One of the things that has surprised me during my first hours in The Division 2’s ravaged Washington DC, is just how thoroughly competent it all is. | Read review |

The Digital Fix | Yannis Vatis | 9 / 10 | 03-31-2019 | So far, the game feels like it’s great for solo players. | Read review |
The Games Machine | Daniele Dolce | 8.8 / 10 | 03-21-2019 | Defining Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 as a “more of the same” is certainly unfair, but we have to say that the innovations introduced by Massive Entertainment are grafted onto the already proven mechanics of the previous incarnation of the series. Compared to its direct predecessor, the latest game developed by the Swedish studio already offers an impressive amount of content. The lack of a consistent plot and a poor optimization on PC are the only issues worth noting. This is however an excellent exponent of the “looter shooter” genre, surely the only one presenting itself in the most complete form at launch. | Read review |
TheSixthAxis | Stefan L | 8 / 10 | 03-29-2019 | The Division 2 is closer to what I imagine the original vision was for the first game. Washington D.C is a sprawling, deep and detailed world filled with baddies to shoot and loot to collect that keeps you and any friends that join you engaged well after you finish the campaign. The story is a bit shallow, but missions are well written and exceptionally designed, leading to an endgame built around tons of content and a deep loot system. The Division 2 is well worth investing your time in. | Read review |
TrueAchievements | Ethan Anderson | 4.5 / 5 stars | 04-05-2019 | No matter how you felt about the first game, The Division 2 is likely to please players on all sides of the conversation. Ubisoft has taken criticisms to heart, and made changes that capitalize on the series’ potential in ways the first game never did. | Read review |
TrueGaming | Unknown | 8 / 10 | 03-22-2019 | The division 2 offers many enhancements over the first game. End Game content especially is very well done and a lot of fun. | Read review |
Twinfinite | Zhiqing Wan | 4 / 5 stars | 03-19-2019 | In an age where it’s become all too common for live service games to release as incomplete products that require a few months’ worth of patches to become the game we were “promised,” The Division 2 is a revitalizing breath of fresh air. | Read review |
Unboxholics | Κυριάκος Στεργιάδης | Recommended | 04-01-2019 | Massive Entertainment worked hard for this result and its obvious from beginning to | Read review |
USgamer | Mike Williams | 4 / 5 stars | 03-21-2019 | Recent games have reminded me that sometimes great execution is better than a noble failure, and The Division 2 executes on its concept with finesse. The story is lackluster, and the real-world aesthetic will turn of some players, but it doesn’t matter because the core and flow of this looter shooter is great. There are something things that could be tweaked, like enemy density and their ability to one-shot you, but overall The Division 2 is a sequel done right. | Read review |
VG247 | Kirk McKeand | Not Recommended | 03-18-2019 | For now, I have to at least commend The Division 2 for getting the basics right. There’s a compelling endgame, there’s loot that actually matters, and missions don’t feel like they’re copy and pasted to bulk out the runtime. If some of the frustrations can be ironed out, it could be the best of its genre. | Read review |
Video Chums | Tyler Hall | 8.3 / 10 | 04-18-2019 | The Division 2 is jam-packed with things to do and it does an excellent job of rewarding you with exciting loot. | Read review |
VideoGamer | Colm Ahern | 6 / 10 | 03-21-2019 | Shooting the bad men and tinkering with your loot in The Division 2 is good enough to keep you coming back to something that’s regularly monotonous and lacks any real message. | Read review |
Wccftech | Kai Powell | 8.5 / 10 | 03-21-2019 | The shooting and looting of The Division 2 each are strong enough on their own that a lackluster story and proliferation of glitches aren’t enough to sour this trip to America’s capital for a bit of R&R in the Dark Zone. | Read review |
We Got This Covered | Ethan Willard | 4 / 5 stars | 03-22-2019 | Although The Division 2 is not a perfect game, most evident in its story and murky politics, it improves on almost everything from the original. | Read review |
