The Division Game - Review In The Division, players are tasked with saving mid-crisis Manhattan from a deadly virus often referred to as The Dollar Flu. As the title loosely suggests, gamers take on the role of an agent in a secret government unit, called to action when everyone else abandoned the cause. The mechanics that players work with are everything you'd expect from an open-world third-person shooter. There are plenty of story missions and side missions, plus collectibles and random events.
