Hi, my name is Nino, and Im a loot shooter addict.
Loot shooters are the video game equivalent of pizza.
Ill take a bad one over most other dishes.
And Im happy to report thatThe Division 2s carrot is a tasty one.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
The Divisionfeatures a modern-day, post-apocalyptic storyline, that takes place in a world ravaged by a smallpox epidemic.
The first games setting and weather combo looked cool, but it got boring fast.
Thankfully, The Division 2 brings a huge improvement on this front.
The amount of variety inThe Division 2senvironments (and weather effects) is one of the games strongest points.
Every mission takes you to a new (indoor) environment, and they all look gorgeous and unique.
Theres something to do on almost every street corner and the new settlements system makes those activities matter.
The sequel also introduces a bunch of settlements to upgrade.
The cool thing about the settlements is that your progress is clearly noticeable.
Its additions like these that makeThe Division 2feel like a big step up from the initial offering.
Im of two minds when it comes toThe Division 2overall.
Just turn off your brain, invite a bunch of friends, and youll undoubtedly have a blast.
The solution isnt great, but its easy enough: dont think too much when youre playingThe Division 2.
The moment you start to analyze it, it falls apart, so just dont.
Treat it like you would any 80s action move, and youll be fine.
The dichotomy becomes evident when you look at howThe Division 2is received by critics, versus its community.
Reviewers are complaining about the shallow, apolitical story, while the gamessubredditis filled with excitement.
Excuse the copout, but I sympathize with both.
