PC Critic Reviews

Without a doubt, Warlords of New York looks to be a great step of what lies ahead for The Division 2 and should not be missed.

Overall I was thoroughly impressed with my time spent in The Division 2 Warlords of New York. The story delivers and gave me some of the closure I needed from the first Division, but showed me there’s still more to the story. The item changes are great and make everything just that little bit easier. I still have issues with some mechanics, especially bullet sponge bosses. I’m also concerned with Season passes and whether they will be worth the price of admission.

Warlords of New York is easily the best expansion for the game to date. With fresh foes, a new portion of New York to explore, great gear, and some brand new reasons to care about loot, it delivers on its lofty promises. Now, we just need Massive to settle in and swat some of these bugs…

Despite its flaws (technical or otherwise), Warlords of New York and its accompanying free Update add high-quality content that takes place in a familiar, fan-favorite location, together with a huge number of wider changes and additions to the game's core gameplay that promise to increase the quality of life for all prospective Division Agents.

Conceptually this is a very good expansion, which unfortunately can’t live up to its potential in its current form.

The Division 2: Warlords of New York is certainly a worthy expansion, rife with new challenges, a huge gorgeous world to explore, a completely revamped end game, and some welcome new progression features to entice players to keep coming back.[...] We have been on the cusp of some of the best content Ubisoft has ever presented, with Manning National Zoo, Coney Island, and now Lower Manhattan. While not every egg this goose has laid has been golden, Warlords of New York has me waiting expectantly, wondering what will happen next. There is no better time than right now to get into The Division 2.

A strong story and brilliant RPG systems make Warlords of New York a real shot in the arm for The Division 2, but a lot of initial excitement is soaked up by bullet-sponge enemies in the endgame.

Whether you are a lone wolf or a death squad, The Division 2 Warlords of New York can offer much fun to looter shooter lovers, more than you could expect after the troubled start of the title a year ago.

There is no doubt that Warlords of New York is a worthy expansion of The Division 2. It includes an interesting open-world, multiple impressive Boss fight, and a brand-new loot system. It might be the best DLC of the entire The Division series.

Going back to New York and finishing the story arc that we started in the first game brought me great joy. But the expansion suffers from balancing problems and questionable long term motivation, even with the new season system.
