Steel Division 2 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Despite the bland and forgettable story, The Division 2 offers a sizable expansion on the first game's foundation, providing an excellent loot-shooter with great combat, sharp AI, compelling loot, and a polished presentation.
Steel Division 2 proves to be a much better game than its predecessor in terms of graphics and mechanics, even if it still needs to solve a few balancing problems before it can be called "definitive."
The second World War is one of the most profound events in human history and tells the story of one man who nearly conquered the entire world. Eugen Systems has done a superb job in bringing this event to your PC and putting the fate of millions in your hands through their historically accurate, WWII, real-time strategy game, Steel Division 2. No other RTS game I've ever played has been able to match what I experienced here, and I fear none ever will.
I've always considered myself a proper armchair general. Playing games like Total War, Company of Heroes, Command & Conquer and even every single one of Eugen Systems older titles from Act of War: Direct Action onwards. Back when I played Steel Division: Normandy 1944 I enjoyed the game, despite a few flaws that always hindered me if at least a little bit. Steel Division 2 has... well, for lack of a better word I may finally understand at least some of the difficulties a general may have faced.
A solid realistic RTS hobbled by extremely steep learning curve, awkward control schemes, and disjointed singleplayer scenarios.
Steel Division 2 continues the series’ tradition of tactically deep, enjoyable, historically-grounded World War II real-time combat. The new Eastern Front divisions bring plenty to the table to reinvigorate the multiplayer and skirmish modes. The combat mechanics themselves haven’t evolved all that much, but they work well enough without trying to reinvent the wheel. Just stay away from the Army General campaign. And if you didn’t play Normandy 44, you’ll probably need to give it a spin first as it does a great job of explaining a lot of things that Steel Division 2 won’t even bother to.
