Summary
A devastating pandemic sweeps through New York City, and one by one, basic services fail. In only days, without food or water, society collapses into chaos. The Division, a classified unit of self-supported tactical agents, is activated. Leading seemingly ordinary lives among us, Division agents are trained to operate independently in order to save society. When society falls, your mission begins. TOTAL BREAKDOWN: We live in a fragile and complex world, a web of interdependent systems we rely on every day. When one fails, others follow, creating a domino effect that can cripple society in just days. In Tom Clancy’s The Division, immerse yourself in a chaotic and devastated New York City, where society is failing.

The Division is a mechanically solid third person shooter with some slick presentation and a heavy emphasis on loot but with a sparse story and the gameplay loop repetition that is endemic to the genre. This leaves The Division in an unenviable spot, while it doesn't transcend its genre in any fashion, it'll provide fans a great time looting through smallpox riddled Manhattan.
The Division is not a perfect game. There are flaws. But the flaws are mostly because it's straddling genres, and this is also what gives it so many different things to enjoy. There are complicated inventory systems, daft explosives, a big open world to explore, and incredible multiplayer, but you don't need to get invested in any of them to play the game. The Division is not a perfect game, but it's really fun. Which is sort of the point, isn't it?
No matter how frustrated I grew with the game's semi-indestructible enemies or its repetitive leveling structure, I absolutely could not stop playing. The world was too engrossing, the loot was too enticing, and the campaign was too gripping for me to simply walk away. I stopped caring about the game's flaws after the first few hours and proceeded to lose myself in obsessive stat optimization and cooperative gun battles.
