Review: The Good, The Bad, And The Bleak Of Ubisoft’s ‘The Division’

In many ways, The Division feels like the game Ubisoft has been practicing to make for years. Everything that we’ve seen in other games is here: the open world side mission structure, crafting, a story mission that weaves its way through exploration and progression — etc. It’s the sort of thing that lends itself well to the MMO format that the developer is now testing out, but not everything necessarily translates. After a few days with The Division I’ve plunged my way into a New York shattered by a smallpox epidemic, I’ve mowed down hordes of countless enemies and a bunch of other people I’m pretty sure were bad, and I’ve begun upgrading my weapons and creating what feels like a customized agent. I’ve also got some skinny jeans. There’s plusses and minuses to the whole thing.
