Tom Clancy's The Division 2

If you’ve been on the fence, it’s time to jump down. 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.

It is apparent that this game is a huge upgrade compared to its predecessor. It has a great sense of progression, the settlements feel alive, and combat is challenging and compelling. It is definitely one of the most ambitious RPG shooter MMO hybrids, and it’s great to see the effort of developers to make something fresh out of familiar ingredients.

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.
