The Division review: It’s exactly like Destiny, but with matchmaking!
On paper, The Division and Destiny are almost exactly identical: they are both loot based games that you can’t play offline, and they are both games that encourage the practice of playing with other people.

The Division is no different, and to that end, it features multiple endgame ...
