🖥️ PC Requirements
despite being AMD sponsored the performance could be better with AMD hardware. It's decent enough.

🎮 Div2 is one, if not the best Lootshooter out there.
There arent many games that can compare to the sheer volume of content. Just dont buy it for full price, cheap gamekeys can be had anywhere (Instantgaming/allkeyshop etc).
Warlords of New York DLC is a must have, but even with it on said sites it's about 16USD/15€ total (base game + DLC).
Be warned, the game was abandoned by Massive for around 2 years and a completely new Studio in Romania was formed, named Massive Bucharest. They had to learn all the quirks and features about the Snowdrop engine, so it took them some time to actually develop and bring content. But now with a new DLC coming, a new Incursion (raid from Division1) it's very promising.
The gameplay is absolutely fantastic. Guns have recoil, punch but the RPG aspects like crit chance still matter. Dont get fooled by the many negative reviews due to the game crashing so often. Yes the game can crash but the crashes are easy to fix:
DX11 crash? Change to DX12! Fullscreen crash? Change to borderless! Apply this logic and you'll see it wont crash anymore.
You'll easily have at least 400 hours of fun exploring DC and New York! The season pass is really fair, mostly containing cosmetics only and opposite to Destiny the gear is not hidden behind a paywall! In fact the only other buyable thing is the year one pass, which can be skipped. It's just 8 missions and the specialisations can be unlocked via regular gameplay.
Ubisoft has a 5 hour free test phase, give it a try, it is worth!
The community has been actually pretty nice and there are plenty of Discords who help newcomers with Raids and building their characters.
You should give it a try, even if you dont care about the story. Cause it has a lot of similiarities to COVID. 🎮

Yeah you can definitely play solo. But the game shines with friends!

this is the best review for this game I've seen yet, thumbs up from me! As for buying keys/finding deals on games, I'd like to add that you should use isthereanydeal.com to find great prices from legitimate key sellers and store fronts
