The Division is great as both a solo and multiplayer (four-person team maximum) RPG cover-shooter. While it has aspects of FPS games like Call of Duty, you control your avatar in the third person like most popular RPG games. The Division has a realistic combat feel in the sense that you must take cover and plan your strategy. It is an open world, modeled fairly exactly on downtown Manhattan NYC, including sewers and sky scrapers, many of which can be entered and explored. It's not Fall Out 4, and would compare to great RPG post-apocalyptic shooter-type games like State of Decay. Unlike those games where you have a choice to be "good" or "bad" in The Division you work for the Strategic Homeland Security Division and must be good, and can not join any of the criminal factions in the game, though oddly enough you can kill and loot DHS agents in the PVP Dark Zone area, which is separate and is not required for end game play (though there isn't much else to do at the current level cap of 30). One of the most novel things about The Division is the open world is a very realistic depiction - street by street - of downtown NYC. If ever you wanted to plan out an armed ambush in the streets of New York, this is the game for you, as you will spend the majority of game time in such firefights.
