Tom Clancy's The Division 2 (2019)
Review | 2019.09.14
The August-September handoff has been hot and muggy - perfect weather for AM runs and surf sessions followed by afternoons in the cave.

August meant it was time again for the annual Vegas trip. The Silverton was a pretty chill spot that was convenient for us, but there was good and bad. I killed it at craps, and Matt at the giant Wheel of Fortune machine. As usual, pai gow was a slow, losing battle. Corey and I posted up at a roulette table while we were waiting for the crowd to thin out elsewhere. Three times we caught the dealer (wheeler?) clearing his chips off a square Corey had won - pretty darn sketchy. For the rest of the weekend the name Roger was a synonymous with infamy.

Having finished Borderlands GOTY and the BL3 prelude, J and I started on The Division 2. After the seeing the first game get a hefty dose of free content and fixes, we were optimistic about what Ubi could do with the follow up. In short, it seems like Ubi retained single developer to keep the lights on and hired an enormous team of graphic artists; gameplay is almost identical but the environment design is unmatched. The level of detail is remarkable and really drives home the feeling of an abandoned Washington DC and other than loot containers, I simply don't notice any repetition of graphic models.
