    By overwriting Overwatch 1, a game that was worth every penny, with this F2P "buy our newest cosmetics" fest of a game, they've lost all of what was great about the game. It's sad to see, as I poured hours of time into Overwatch, only to have it all sapped away with advertisements for new skins. I'm done with this company. They won't be getting any more of my money.

    I'm really pissed of. I loved original Overwatch. I spent so much time in that game, had a great moments when I was playing solo or with my brother. I loved and I still do love most of the characters introduced in Overwatch: Tracer, Brigitte, Cassidy (McCree originally), Soldier 76, Winston, Reinhardt, Sombra, Mercy, etc. And even in Overwatch 2 they introduced Kiriko which becameI'm really pissed of.

I loved and I still do love most of the characters introduced in Overwatch: Tracer, Brigitte, Cassidy (McCree originally), Soldier 76, Winston, Reinhardt, Sombra, Mercy, etc. And even in Overwatch 2 they introduced Kiriko which became instantly one of my favourites.

    It didn't really bother me for this game to be just one big update for the previous one, instead of full sequel. In the end, it's free and there is still going to be (I hope at least) PVE story mode.

    But the way Blizz decided to make monetization system is just unforgivable. They truly f**ked that up. Not only they randomly locked half of the characters in roster for every single person who didn't buy Watchpoint pack, they also completely destroyed progression/rewards system. That involves cosmetics and heroes themselves. New heroes, you can acquire by completing Battle Pass, but the old ones, you have to unlock them by paying with virtual currency. Which ofcourse you can get only by using your credit card. What is it? Is Blizz saying that you can get those coins by playing? Oh, you mean those 60 coins you can get only once in a week by completing weekly challenges? Well go fu** yourselves there in Blizzard with this bullsh**. That'd be Ok if legendary skins for heroes, wouldn't cost 2 000 COINS and BP 1000 COINS!!! ARE YOU OUTTA YOUR MIND?! And Blizz have enough guts for coming on game forums, saying that they are not satsified with this progression/rewards system as well, so that they could say there will be some changes in season 2. Guess what! They didn't change literally anything! F*** YOU!

    The saddest thing about all of this is the fact, that the game itself is still fun, it's still enjoyable, the gameplay is still great. But all the things around all of this is just pure awful bulls**it that never needed to happen. I'm sick and tired of watching these favourite game franchises of mine getting butchered and destroyed by some ass**les in nice outfits who only wishes to suck money out of faithful gamers. I'm sick that I have to leave another great game I used to love for it's wonderful gameplay and characters within really good story and this wonderful universe.

    Great job Blizzard! YOU FU*KED IT ALL UP AGAIN!

    Game doesn’t work two days into launch, but regardless this is basically the same game as overwatch 1 but every piece of cosmetic costs a ton of money and you can’t play the game if you have a budget pre-paid phone plan.

    On its own the game might not be absolutely terrible but it's essentially worse than Overwatch 1 in every respect. In an unprecedentedly stupid move, Blizzard chose to completely replace the original game with Overwatch 2 and take away the original game from everyone who bought it since 2016.

    We had a b2p fun game with decent in-game rewards and no pressure about how much time do you have to spend grinding.

    Now it's a huge downgrade with insane prices and even buying battlepass - you are forced to grind 30-40 min / day completing daily achievements. BP rewards are mediocre at best . Feels more like a chore than a game now.
    Not recommended, save your time.

What used to be a fun game and series has now dropped everything that made the game fun. One of the biggest parts of Overwatch was its loot boxes. Although I love the decision to remove loot boxes from the game, there is no longer any way to obtain cosmetics for free. A 3-year-old skin now costs about $20. For someone who bought the $100 dollar version of Overwatch 1 I no longer am able to unlock the skins previously in the game, no I have to buy them. There are no more levels, and credits are no longer obtainable. For owning Overwatch 1 you are given 2 skins that I will probably never use and you are able to use the new hero instantly. I think I should at least get the battle pass for free as well. You can however obtain the premium currency for free, but only 500 which is about $5 worth. This is not enough to buy the battlepass and this only encourages you to buy more credits. These are terrible mechanics to steal people's money. Blizzard does not need any more money, they are a 50 billion dollar company, please stop defending them. I have seen many people defend them online saying overwatch needs to make money to survive, they just put out diablo immortal and in the first 3 days they made over 100 million in sales.

    Eventhough lootboxes were considered bad thing in gaming community, implementation of that system in Overwatch was just right.

    * Plenty lootbox drop for those who play or don't play.
    * High drop rate of legendary or epic content.
    * Ability to craft your own legendary item with scraped lootbox content in few weeks of playing.

    In the new system tho, to craft a legendary skin you have to play for 8 months! Yes this is a free to play game for some players. But I paid for this game, even though they put the number '2' after it. This is just an update, not a new game.

My biggest issue is definitely the monetization, since the game charges you a whole $12,000+ for all the content that could be unlocked for free in Overwatch 1. It also requires you to grind more than 50 total WINS per week sometimes in order to complete all the weekly challenges, which only nets you a total of 60 coins. That’s enough to get one legendary skin if you grind consecutively for 32 weeks. **** that. It totally puts me off of this game that I once loved because now I can’t even unlock new **** without shilling out tons and tons of money to a company already worth $68.7 billion dollars.

Almost every single Tank is now too OP, specifically Orisa and she was fine back in OW1 so I don’t get the change. DPS Heroes like Gengi are a bit broken now, Pharah surprisingly has been known to be way more infuriating now and a lot of people can say “Just get good” or whatever, Pharah is the only Hero in the entire Game to be able to fly freely. Heroes like D.Va and Echo can fly too but not as passively like Pharah does and the amount of Damage Pharah deals is ridiculous to the point it is super easy for the Player to get a Solo Team Kill just as Pharah alone with her Ultimate, I never seen or had that happen back in OW1 yet here she is now broken. Other heroes I can name would be Moira and Doomfist, Doomfist becoming a Tank is now more annoying due to the additional health he receives as a Tank and the additional ability being able to block Attacks receiving no Damage whatsoever which “clearly” isn’t more annoying enough if a good Doomfist Player can practically zoom past everyone in the Map using his abilities alone whilst completing decimating everyone and Moira as a Support hero is fine, only issue is I think Blizzard needs to tune down how much Damage she deals now through her primary weapon and either nerf or remove her Biotic Orbs since the vast majority of Players will be using Moira as a third DPS Hero rather than an actual support making it. So many Games I have played as my favourite DPS and Support Heroes I have gotten my Health from 200 completely destroyed to 0 just by her Orbs alone, the fact I write this annoys me slightly more knowing that Blizzard already is acting so ignorant and refuses to do more hero balancing until the start of Season 2. Meaning as of the time I write this, we have 50 more days (according to the Battle Pass) before we get actual correct balancing in the Game to have it at least more enjoyable and not have players in a fit of rage against these broken heroes, this Game CAN definitely be good and I would love to see Overwatch 2 succeed but right now it is hard to see this, if it were not for the Battle Pass and the very first Mythic Skin in this Game, I would not play this until Season 2. Blizzard to me is very incompetent and ignorant, not sure if I can they are these things since the beginning or since they have been Activision Blizzard, my personal recommendation to anyone reading this, if you are considering on playing this Game please wait until Season 2, if you will find the same Heroes as I mentioned to be as infuriating to play against then be sure to realise Blizzard will not do anything until Season 2 begins Expand

This all have gone with overwatch 2 realese. But 5vs5 is better than old 6vs6 tho. It's easier now to kill someone. So, rating 1 is enough. Cause I don't want to play this game. No rewards at all!!!

    Worst 5v5 shooter ever. Instead of dull shield play, we get dull overhealing play and broken balance of the game's classic characters. Playing as a single tank feels like constantly beating up characters that are always full hp. If Blizzard doesn't bring back Overwatch Classic, most people will turn their backs on them.

    Overwatch 2 is literally just a patch for Overwatch 1 that deletes 6v6. "Commit to Quality" more like Commit to Greed. What was the budget for this game, $9? I never thought I would see the day when a company is so penny-pinching, to the point that they become a real-life representation of Mr. Krabs. Not even EA is this cheap and greedy.

The game was making good money too so don't buy in this **** propaganda of activision "blizzard" that they had to make the game "f2p". The prices in the shop are absolutely insane for a video game, ii's looking more and more like a mix of gacha game and **** f2p mobile games. 20 euro/dollar for a skin that is basically the same model with a different jacket, with that amount of money you can buy your friends that may struggle with money a good complete game for cheap using discounts. Insanity. Blizzard went insane. The battle pass make the game feels like a job because of fomo, also the rewards are so disgusting even with the premium one, when in past games you would get all the content by just buying the games once.
    Live services games should release big amount of content yearly and price it 30-40 dollars or something or use a sub model, the only healthy models for games I know are those, wow and ffxiv specifically work great like that.

    This game lost its soul. A complete dowgrade, many features that made it a cool game, like medals, cards, on fire animations, polish in the ui, ask people to group after a match and many many other cool stuff were removed and botched, there are white pixels on the edges of the characters icons in game... New heroes animations are lazy and uninspired, and some of them are awkward to watch during the play of the games. Blizzard is dead.

    Gaming is becoming worse and worse, beloved companies are abandoning the passion and art for quick cash grab and brainwashing younger generations with awful greedy monetization practice that belongs to predatory capitalism not game developers that ask fair prices to deliver to you all the content, while making us passionate seasoned gamers long for the golden times of 80' to apx 2007/2010.

    I quit, I give up, I will treasure all the characters and cool moments with me and say thank you to Jeff and all the passionate devs that worked on OW1 and old blizzard, that had various issues but at least they were passionate game developers without being controlled by greedy disgusting humans.

    Stay away from OW2 if you truly believe in healthy and passion driven gaming with fair monetization.

    The balance team needs to be fired and replaced with a drunk monkey. Genji was a high tier hero who had been bad for 2 years. He was not broken, just finally good. So they gutted him and buffed his counters. They cannot let Genji ever be good because support players can't be expected to learn matchups. A drunk monkey could probably balance the game better than the current balance team.

    Overwatch 2 is a free to play game, and I’d definitely recommend trying it out if you haven’t to see how you feel about the gameplay and to see how well it runs on Steam Deck. Despite its flaws, it is still worth playing, but some of the decisions with how certain content has been handled in-game are weird. Overwatch 2 is yet to reach the highs of the original Overwatch, but it is still a great multiplayer game to play on Steam Deck. I enjoyed Overwatch 2 quite a bit on Switch despite the visual and performance cutbacks, but it really shines on Steam Deck.

    While the game is called Overwatch 2, this all seems more like a transition to a full new game. The biggest changes are dropping the 6v6 gameplay in favour of a much more exciting 5v5 format. Three new heroes are also available, along with a new game mode, but for a final and real verdict, everyone should wait for the upcoming PvE segment.

    Overwatch 2 delivers high-octane multiplayer gameplay and a wholly improved version of the much-loved hero shooter. Now that the dust has settled, it’s becoming clear that despite a number of teething issues, the game manages to do what many sequels struggle to; build upon a successful game, and make it even better.
