Unsure how this game still runs this bad, but after 7 years, I'm surprised nobody on the developer team sat down, and actually thought about optimizing the game.

My playtime on Steam is not reflective of my total playtime in-game, as I already had the game just through the BSG launcher before.

EFT PVE Co-Op is fun with friends, but at that point, there are other avenues of being able to play Co-op with friends, that you could seek out instead.

I originally bought the game on Ubisoft Connect (Former Uplay) when the game released there, so my Steam game-time does not reflect my actual playtime of around 1500 hours, but here goes:

The Division 2 builds upon on the great story, that Massive cemented with The Division 1, but with a ton of QoL and optimizing done, which makes The Division 2 the go-to game for shooter-looters, where you can enjoy a bunch of early-game AND late-game content (gear min/max'ing, world bosses, different modifiers and difficulties, Raids, Solo/Co-op "dungeons" etc.).

Sure, it's a Ubisoft game, and comes with the default Ubisoft enshitification, but not as bad as some people make it out to be, as you're not FORCED to engage with the way the game is monetized (battlepass and outfits), the only thing I'd recommend getting is the base game, and if you really did enjoy that, you can get the Warlords of New York and The Battle for Brooklyn DLCs, which would add 8-10 hours of extra story content, if you're not speedrunning it.

If you speedrun it, you would probably be able to clear out everything, in the DLCs, in a matter of 4-6 hours instead.

The game can be enjoyed both solo, but also as a co-op game, where solo would probably be a tiny bit more difficult, when it comes to end-game content, but if you're playing it smart around your abilities, or get a good roll on stats, for both weapons and gear-pieces, you'll be able to handle it just fine.

The game features PvE as well as PvP content (In the form of specific, enclosed areas of the map), where the latter is optional, but can potentially yield you better loot, although that loot can also be obtained through PvE, but at a higher world difficulty.

There's so much to go over, that I don't really know how to cover it, so I'd say: Get the game, and see it for yourself!

Should you play Beat Saber instead? ✅

I'm not sure what the "dev" thought about, when deciding: "Hey, let's make... Beat Saber! And copy all the things the community made."

There's probably more stolen stuff. You're honestly just better off playing Beat Saber and mod it, instead of supporting stealing other peoples work.

It's good, you should try it!

Been playing for 5 hours.

Dev's really do care about details. If you love a taskforce "Sim", this is for you. - But do get friends to play with you, the game can be tricky solo xD

2024 EDIT:

Still, by far, one of the most fun and interactive VR games out there. I haven't played this in a while, but I'm a regular part of the tournament-scene for this game, and watching people grow and become better at the game, is really awesome.

If you're getting a VR headset this christmas, do yourself a favor, get Beat Saber, you won't regret it!

Alright, multiplayer has been integrated, for a while, so now it's time to give my thoughts on the game, as I've played a bit more.

Beat Saber is fun, more so with friends and family being able to play too, with the inclusions of the Easy/Hard maps.

I've enjoyed Beat Saber alot, and it has become a daily thing, twice a week, to load up the game and get an arm workout, now that alot of different places has been shutdown due to COVID-19, including gyms in Denmark.

I would wish, that the developers(Looking at you now, Facebook...) would license some more widespread artists as Logic, Rammstein, Katy Perry and such, just to add a more diverse line-up of songs, other than OST, Monstercat, Camellia and BTS.

This however, can be solved by the individual user themself by modding the game, and adding custom songs to it.

Do I recommend it? Hell yea. It's tough to get going in the start, but once you learn the flow of a map, it's very easy to transfer the skill to other maps.

Great competitive game, always fun to play with friends.

Not really any pros/cons, when you've come from a competitive FPS background, and are used to alot of stuff.
