The Division 2 PC review in progress – an accomplished sequel

The Division 2 is huge. But unlike so many open-world games, every inch of its enormous approximation of downtown Washington, D.C. is brimming with activity. Raccoons pick through bins, deer spring through the streets, and clusters of survivors can be spotted gathering supplies or battling hostile factions. All of this goes on without you, but where The Division 2 really draws you in is when you slow down the grind for better gear and spend a little time exploring the world, helping out its struggling denizens as you go. Wander over to a group of friendly survivors and they’ll react to your presence, buoyed by the fact that they have a Division Agent backing them up. These NPCs roam the city with actual purpose, so you’ll often stumble across a group who are on their way to gather food and be able to lend a hand. These encounters aren’t initiated through a mission marker or key prompt, though. Instead you might overhear someone voicing concern about venturing into an alleyway covered in graffiti markings from an enemy faction. Step closer and one of the survivors will call you over, telling their comrades it will all be okay because they have a Division Agent with them. Sure enough, when they charge into the alleyway and a skirmish ensues, if you pitch in with a kill or two they’ll also gather up the resources they came for and head back to the nearest settlement.
