At the start of the current console generation, much was made of co-op online gaming experiences. From E3 2012 up until present day, every game seemed to have some online co-op element weaved into its design.

Positives + Beautiful visuals; + Enjoyable co-op game play that's only as big a part of the experience as you want it to be; + Fun, well-executed tactical combat

Negatives - Several aspects of the game aren't well explained; - A huge game world with not much to do outside of missions; - Immersion is often difficult to maintain

'Survival' mixes traditional 'Division' shooter gameplay with elements of survival games, as the name might suggest. The character is dropped into a massive blizzard with very little equipment, and must make their way through New York into the Dark Zone for extraction.

A lethal virus hit New York on Black Friday and now it is up to you to try and save what is left and rebuild.

What is The Division, then? It's a vast, scrappy yet endearingly ambitious adventure that, for the most part, delivers on its promise. It's a city still under construction, too - we're yet to see the first Incursion, The Division's take on raids, that's coming in a free update next month - though in...

All that hype. All that expectation. All those delays. All that face paint. For a food salvage operation? You've decked me out in camouflage gear and given me an automatic weapon, just so I can find some snacks?

It's your usual dose of Ubisoft overhype. Turns out it's a really repetitive game that lacks any replay value (especially playing solo). There are periodic updates added to the game but it does nothing spectacular to turn this game into the game many were so excited about.

The Division is a cold, cold game. Yes, it's literally set in a version of New York gripped by winter snow flurries, and the remnants o...

Wonderfully deep customisation; Looks beautiful; Packed with stuff to do

Dull story and characters; Unsatisfying end-game; Combat and perks are limited

Unable to save so have to keep going over the same old boring crap time and time again. Completely unrealistic, empty a full AK47 mag into someone's back and they spin round and shoot you. Played for a number of hours before I uninstalled and threw it away.

When Ubisoft revealed Tom Clancy's The Division it looked like a showcase game for next gen and boasted a fully integrated second screen experience. When Ubisoft released Tom Clancy's The [...]

Brilliant Map UI; Small Learning Curve and Easy Accessibility; Weapon Customisation; Clever use of Collectibles to build backstory

Shallow Gameplay; Repetitive Gameplay; Glitchy Cover System; Slow Traversal through Game World

The Division has undergone several transformations since it first launched back in March , but the core shoot-and-loot setup has remained an exhausting time sink that's both aggravating and exhilarating.

Underground Operations provide a fundamentally different game mode; Directives offer creative; customizable challenges; Random levels still look and feel realistic; Consistently generous loot drops; New gear sets provide unique and enticing perks; Strongest; most inventive Incursion so far

Unnecessary leveling system limits your customization options; Abundance of high-end weapons conflicts with lack of Phoenix Credits; Solo players won't survive the subway; Those stupid exploding RC cars are rage quit fuel
