The manhunt for elusive boogeyman and rogue Division agent Aaron Keener is finally coming to a head with the upcoming Warlords of New York expansion for The Division 2. GameCritics was given a chance to go hands-on with the content to take a glimpse at how New York has fared since we visited in the first game, and also to see what it will take to finally track down Keener and his group of rogue agents.
HIGH Best Trials tutorial ever. Thanks, Fatshady!
LOW Having a perfect run on a balls-hard
track ruined by a framerate hiccup.
WTF Grinding for experience???
HIGH Repeatable outposts.
LOW Forgettable villians in a series known for memorable ones.
WTF The Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country?
GameCritics was recently invited to a preview event offering roughly 5 hours of The Division 2, and it’s shaping up well. Based on what I played, it addresses many of the issues I had with the previous title while also seemingly focusing upon the endgame — something that was sorely lacking before.

LOW It’s bloated beyond any sense of reason.
WTF Hyper-aggressive chickens too eager to fight.
GameCritics was invited to a recent preview event featuring Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, and I was happy to attend because the few hours I had with it highlighted one thing for me above all others — Ubisoft is going whole-hog into the mythological side of ancient Greece, and I’m all for it. From semi-metaphysical special moves to fantastical creatures that never walked the Earth, Ubisoft has set Odyssey up to be more removed from reality than any other game in the series, and it’s about time.
HIGH Stringing together slide-kick and team-jump combos.
LOW The harsh restrictions on team composition.
WTF Seriously, who likes rabbids? They are awful.
