Ubisoft may have learned from it’s past mistakes. It is sad to see developers ignoring past failures when they have so many reference points to look back on. The original Division launched in a broken state, Destiny has taken years to find itself, and most recently Anthem’s failures at launch meant its sales figures have been abysmal. My expectations for these so-called live games-as-a-service franchises have been set so low that I went into this review expecting the worst. It bodes well that the developers of this franchise have been updating The Division 1 since launch, and in its current state it is quite impressive. The Division 2 also has some of the same bugs and issues that the original game had, but this time, the developer actually listened and took feedback from the Beta players.

Developed by Massive and Ubisoft, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is one of the most technically sound and fun experiences at launch that I have experienced in a long time. I feel thankful for receiving a complete game instead of yet another broken “it will be fixed” type of game. A developer who has obviously listened to the fans and learned from its past mistakes has created a great world to be in, but it’s not without its hiccups – and lootboxes.
