The World of The Division
Making an open world for multiple players that also feels alive is no small feat. Destiny tried to provide this livelihood through random activities, but outside of these mini-missions, the world was mainly a constant cycle of enemy group respawns. It covered the basics, but it made each of the planets come across as a bit formulaic. By placing its focus entirely onto the city of New York, The Division was able to put all of its eggs into one basket and keep things active with more success.
As you stroll through the streets, you’ll come across other survivors and agents that you can assist. Enemies are camped out and up to no good. Dynamic events unfold as you work your way through missions. The NPCs, the people you rely on for missions and other things, feel like they’re an organic part of The Division’s New York.
Scavenging for food and resources, helping those in need, killing enemies – all of it just feels right in this world.
