The Division 2 is a third-person shooter that places a heavy emphasis on cooperative play. You’ll roam a world that’s dealing with the fallout of a rampant virus, tackling difficult bosses and exploring a war-torn landscape as you go. While the game got off to a slow start, it eventually managed to sell over 10 million copies. In fact, we gave the game high praise in our The Division 2 review, scoring it a 9/10 for its compelling gameplay look and stunning environments.

“The ravaged environments continue to intrigue, and sometimes they’re so stunning I find myself needing to take screenshots before I move on,” wrote critic Edmond Tran. “It might not have much to say, but The Division 2 is a perpetual cycle of tension, relief, and reward that’s difficult to stay away from.”
