I think you had a very different experience than me. I enjoyed The Division 1 and 2 but the story was completely unmemorable and by the time you get to the end they shift you into end-game Diablo-esque grind-mode, not some definitive ending.

The voice recordings and non-linearity were what made it for me. I felt like I was piecing the world together as I explored. Even after doing the boss fight finding intel that explained something that wasn’t known before slotted it into my understanding of the story. By the time I reached the grind at the end, it was like I had a world in my head and it was ok to close the book.
