Tom Clancy’s The Division
Ubisoft – PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC
Gamers could hardly have ignored the wave behind the release of Tom Clancy’s The Division. The open world third person shooter is immensely fun to begin with, with an impressively realistic setting in a sort of post-apocalyptic Manhattan. However, its attempt to integrate RPG elements à la Fallout series actually harms its realism, with insurgents being able to withstand a flurry of bullets with little impact, and it doesn’t have the depth of Fallout for this to be forgiven. Generally, it’s above mediocre, and still enjoyable, despite not living up to the hype.
