When I first tried the beta for this, I had no interest in the game having played the first one extensively and enjoying it. Decided to play this recently after many years of not playing the Division and it's a very solid game as someone who finished the base game on solo.

The story is extremely bland whereas the first one was a lot better, however I played the game as more of a straight looter shooter while not being interested in the lore.

There seems to be a lot of build diversity and while I do prefer the darker and more post-apocalyptic vibes from the first game, this game still looks great. It's a solid game if you don't care about anything but shooting, getting loot and min-maxing your character's build.
