10 Awful Video Games That Almost Everybody Plays
6. Tom Clancy's The Division
A Ubisoft sandbox game, The Division has sold exceedingly well since it was released last month, even managing to top Watch Dogs as the most successful first-day release in Ubisoft history. With that said, the game was received fairly indifferently, garnering a handful of positive reviews, and quite a few negative ones as well.
It’s not that The Division is a terrible game by any stretch of the imagination; it’s a competent shooter with a decent multiplayer focus, and it at least looks pretty. The problem is that the game’s positives are staggering outnumber by the negatives; it’s a sprawling open world filled with repetitive missions, and not much else. You’ll probably spend hours upon hours just scouring the landscape for NPCs to loot; that is, when you’re not just grinding, fulfilling the same handful of objectives again, and again, and again.
The Division is a boring game; in fact, it’s everything that’s wrong with video games today. It’s an uninspired chore that feels more like a second job than a video game.
