    Overwatch 2's gameplay is the only saving grace for what is a game that forces you to spend large amounts of money for simple in-game cosmetics. The battle pass is moderately packed with detailed skins but the rest is filler that most people won't be interested in. Not to mention that you can't earn currency in the battle pass unlike other free to play games like fortnite and apex.

The game could've been a big update and just merged into the existing Overwatch 1 like what fornite did with chapter 2 which brang graphical and gameplay improvements. Although the removal of loot boxes would be liked by some, because it is a form of gambling, you didn't have to buy it and I much prefer it to actually paying for skins. Expand

    A pathetic update to a dead game that is simply being presented as a sequel for marketing purposes, it still has the likeable characters, visuals and music that the original had but to say that this game has gone stale would be a massive understatement.

    Way too many (quick play) matches with incomplete teams. In some matches it's e.g. 5v4 from start to end. It wasn't that bad in OW1. I was ok with the lootboxes from OW1, now I ignore the shop system completely - just nope!

    La falta de consistencia en nuevo contenido y pocos desafíos al jugar el juego día a día hace difícil engancharse por mucho tiempo a este juego. Aun así es un problema que se puede arreglar.
    Su gameplay sigue siendo tan fantástico como el primer juego. Aun falta el modo historia

    It isn't worth to name it Overwatch 2. It's like a big update, not a new game or something similar. But for everyone who liked before, could be still like it. It's just Overwatch 1 with an update.

    Music is mediocre at best[-1]. Sound design is great—successful strikes give quite a lot of hit satisfaction.

    Deathmatch on Quick Play is alright, same as the Arcade ones.

    I still refuse to play Ranked as of now[-2]. No more comment on that mode.

    Bugs and glitches exist. Sometimes game-breaking[-1].

Do I think it deserves to be rated as low as it is now, no. There's still a good game burried under the mountain of issues I have with it. It took Blizzard eight year, EIGHT, to produce what most other developers call an "update" not a sequel. You can make the argument that changing it from 6v6 to 5v5 changes up the flow of the game and makes it feel somewhat fresh and the movement away from stun and CC with balancing has made the game infinitely more playable. But does this make it a warrented sequel, absolutely not. Putting aside the terrible launch controversies with outrageous queue times and server issues, the game is still not very great. It borrows A LOT from it's predescessor and doesn't really adapt it in any new or unique way. Another issue I have with the game is that it completely absorbed Overwatch 1 meaning that if you want to go back and experience the first game again, tough luck. Knowing Blizzard this is going to be turned into a ploy to resell the first game and call it a "remaster" but I digress. The game is also somehow more monitized than the first game. The first games lootboxes were pretty simple, you would level up once and be able to obtain one lootbox per level. If you played the game enough, you could unlock all the skins you wanted pretty easily. Now, they've moved to a battlepass system except it is an incredibly skewed battlepass. In other games with a battlepass system like Fortnite, you can obtain coins by completing the battle pass even without buying it that would allow you to buy things in the shop. However, in Overwatch 2, there is none of that. Instead, all of the skins are locked behind the premium battlepass so if you want any of the new skins but don't want to shovel any more money into an objectively evil company, tough luck. Overall, a lazy game not deserving of the sequel title and was obviously called a sequel simply to generate hype to hopefully revive the dead franchise. Unfortunately, does not seem like it worked for them. Expand

    Overwatch 2 is the same formula for a lack of new free content for years to come. Despite servers amd phone issues, the game feels good and the new characters aren't that bad.
    The big problem is the pay-to-win system put in place by Blizzard, rewarding even less new players that didn't spend a penny. A lot of qork has to be done to make Overwatch a real good game.

    Not saying those communities shouldnt have a place on the stories and characters but dont make that the priority.
    Also like the first one I played a lot and had so much fun but the matchmaking is really bad, and toxic community pushes you off the game but Blizzard doesnt do anything about them. Wish online PC gaming community was a healthier place.

    The game-play itself is quite good if you can get in, a return the pace of Year 1 OW and moving to 5v5 seems to have solved a lot of the long term balance problems that plagued the game. New heroes are fun, performance is somehow even better despite updated graphics, and the roadmap looks bright providing they stick to it.

    Content is a bit lacking but understandable given work on PvP

    Content is a bit lacking but understandable given work on PvP only started post Jeff and the bulk of development time went towards PvE, so I'm going to withhold from complaining until I can see whether or not PvE is actually worth it. Servers are obviously in meltdown but that's a temporary problem. Monetization on the other hand...

    I could begrudgingly see $10 but $20 for an individual skin is just excessive. Even worse, the Battle pass while otherwise decent gives zero currency and the only source in weeklies only results in 540 per season. 8 freaking months of grinding for a single Legendary is beyond insulting.

L'ajout de trois nouveaux personnages et la campagne de communication assortie au lancement peinent à masquer cette plate évidence. Il en va de même pour les maps et mode de jeu, qui voit l'introduction d'un push the play load bidirectionnel boosté et un nouveau nom, le tout se disant être une nouveauté majeure.
    Le point restant le plus douloureux pour tout le monde, est aussi la plus grosse nouveauté pour les anciens joueurs, et consiste en un battle pass "gratuit", totalement inutile sans paiement supplémentaire, associé à l'apparition d'un magasin in gamme pratiquant des prix digne des plus beaux fiascos de l'univers vidéoludique.
    Pour équilibrer un tant soit peu l'équation, le jeu est effectivement un Free To Play dans le sens strict de sa de sa définition, en ne prodigant aucun avantage compétitifs en cas d'aposition des mains au porte-monnaie. Le graphisme est agréable, tout comme la dynamique générale, ce qui était d'ailleurs déjà le cas pour d'overwatch 1.
    Associé à l'absence de nouveautés annoncées, comme le mode PVE, overwatch 2 n'est finalement une mise à jour d'overwatch 1, troquant la précédente libre obtention et utilisation des héros, objets et skins contre un modèle économique des plus agressifs. Pas sûr qu'anciens et nouveaux joueurs s'y retrouvent...

Remover as antigas lootboxes pra mim é algo bom, não joguei o ow1, portanto não sei o quão recompensador era ganhar skins de forma gratuita. Agora, como o jogo é grátis para todos o jogo necessita de micro transações para funcionar. Meu único contra é o preço alto das skins, sendo antigas ou não, estão caras demais - ainda assim eu comprei a skin da Kiriko Bruxa XD.

    Meu maior desgosto com o jogo é o launcher péssimo e mediocre da Blizzard, o Battle.net. Muito ruim, lagado, lento e buga muitas vezes não permitindo que eu jogue. Além de eu ter q entrar no launcher sempre que clicar no ow2 na area de trabalho. O site da blizzard é lagado, não abre rapido e demora pra baixar o launcher (fui baixar o launcher recentemente, estava baixando a 30kb/s e minha internet no máximo chega a 8mb/s, uma vergonha pra uma empresa bilionária).

    Fora esses pontos negativos, pra mim o jogo é divertido. Muito desafiador no sentido de jogar bem com determinados personagens, exigindo mais tempo para pegar maestria em um herói. A experiencia é bem vasta, consigo jogar horas sem enjoar.

    07/12/22: Após mais de 100h de jogo volto aqui para deixar minha decepção e minha tristeza em relação ao jogo. Falta suporte em atualizações constantes e suporte em tickets e chat. Jogo não tem suporte, vc tenta falar com eles para pedir ajuda e não respondem. Dificil gastar dinheiro comprando skin e não ter nenhum suporte. VALORANT tem mais suporte do que OW2.

It is fluid, large cast and choice of characters is awesome, artistic direction is beautiful and the graphics artists genius. It is a very very good game.

    Why is it being review bombed then? Well Activision-Blizzard, of course. Not only the launch is a disaster, with most players that can't enter the game at all or get booted out all the time and temporary loss of progression, but Activision-Blizzard pushed one of the worst moneterization system in a game where everything was obtainable by playtime before.

    I think it is important to make money for a corporation, but now Blizzard is not only trying to make money but to actually being the most greedy on that subject with overpriced items and no mean to get its money back after completing a battlepass.

    Add that to a rushed menu and fillers, and yeah there is a sense that the game is unfinished.

    Is there is a good future for Overwatch 2? I believe so, with the PvE and new content on it's way, if Blizzard decide to be less greedy and try to appease the playerbase.

    If not, it will come back in the same sad state than OW1, where only the diehards like me will play.

    La monetizacion es un punto debil: Los pases de batalla son una forma de monetizar que me agrada mucho en los free to play, tienes objetivos a completar y cada cierto tiempo iran agregando mas contenido al juego. PERO comprar skins por separado es un robo. ¿20 DOLARES UNA SKIN LEGENDARIA? Vaya mierda, para conseguir esa skin jugando las misiones semanales literalmente tendrias que jugar meses

    No hay modo historia: Si bien han dicho que agregaran el modo historia en 2023, para que sacas otro puto juego en el que destacabas el modo historia como el punto fuerte SIN UN MODO HISTORIA, vaya mierda nuevamente.

    The same cannot be said for the greedy, disingenuous and lackluster 'battlepass', which is a worse than Clash of Clans and is not only lackluster but pointless, as it bestows flaky, rushed cosmetics and a new hero who most of the playerbase can get for free (OW1 players), and new players can obtain by grinding out the game which they would do anyway if they wanted to get any of the skins, which brings me onto my next point that the monetization is practically RAID: Shadow Legends. Ever since Uncle Jeff left, the game and the user experience has gone downhill, and now we have exorbitant prices and impeccably low challenge rewards. 8 months for one skin is not at all fair. Furthermore they have replaced the original, specific endorsement system, which is not bad but unnecessary, and removed levels to 'combat toxicity', which is completely absurd as now we do not only have no skins to show our progress and levels, but now do not have any levels to show it either.

    I love Overwatch and the gameplay is sweet, minus a few balancing and some UI fixes, but if they want their game to be successful like it can and rightfully should be, they need to seriously buckle down and look at the success Fortnite's Battlepass granted Epic Games, or the stigma and hatred pointed towards their adopted mobile-game system.

Not to mention the new maps and the 3 unique heroes that are amazingly fun to play, you must have a great game, right?

    Sadly this is where all the good things end. The game launched a buggy mess and the fact that on top of the bugs and everything, we get hit with a predatory micro transactions and battle pass system that doesn’t work well with most people and their wallets. They removed things like the on fire system that complements the player for being good, the leveling system that gave people a goal and reason to keep playing, the card system which boosted people’s confidence when they play a good game, and the find a group feature. But let’s also not forget what they make new players go through to even play any of the characters in the game. It is just purely sickening.

    In short, the game is fun and a great time, but with the bugs, the lack of content, predatory business actions towards the user, and the utter lack of care of the fan base, the game is easily a 6 out of 10. It has potential to be better and higher, but Blizzard need to wake up and look at what made the original Overwatch so popular. Or else we may see a dead game by the time they decide to launch the PvE mode.

    I give it a 9/10 for graphics.
    I give it a 8/10 for gameplay.
    innovation gets 1/10
    and there are major disappointments in the way the game's business plan was changed for the end user which drops the overall score of my experience...

    overall I give it a 5/10

    There are some differences to the gameplay, e.g. there are no items to buy during the match, but the game modes and overall gameplay are downright 1: 1. Many characters resemble in some way, some only in appearance, some only in abilities, some in both.
    I got bored of Paladins years ago, and Overwatch is like playing something familiar, but a little different. Looking at the O1 to O2 comparisons, it's not so much to compare, it's the same game with a big update - as I saw on Youtube. It would be better to compare it to Paladins, as if Overwatch was like what I would imagine Paladins 2 as graphically definitely outperforms Paladins.
    The gameplay itself is nice, but I miss the card deck system that was in Paladins and allowed me to customize my character. People with "flying Inara aka Flynara" know what I mean.
    It made Paladins a bit more unpredictable. This is sorely lacking in O2. I had been playing for about 3-4 days and I had no problem with the game, only today there was a problem with finding a match, the game was constantly communicating to me about some error. Searching for a match takes 10 minutes. Yesterday and the day before yesterday even at 5 am I found matches in a minute. This is some kind of error with the servers - I guess.
    The characters are actually interesting, but I miss the attacking and flanking division that exists in Paladins. Some characters are asking to be attackers and others to be flankers.
    I think that there are definitely too few supports and tanks, and there are probably 3 times more attackers than supports and tanks combined. This is ridiculous. The game has potential, but the developers have to try harder to diversify the game with, for example, decks of cards, but is this enough to keep the player for longer, since the same thing is still being done? This is the problem of all FPS games. You only walk and shoot really. You get bored with one game, I got bored with everyone.
    O2 pulled me in for now, but we'll see for how long. Maybe a week, maybe a month. Like most games of this type. They quickly get bored when there is no plot and an interesting world to explore. Interesting stories never get bored, gameplay is the first thing that gets boring in games. So that's a problem for all games that only have gameplay.
    But 7/10 is very good game. Mostly i give 5/10, never 10/10, because 10/10 is godlike game.

    Blizzard’s new addition to their roster of star-studded games Overwatch 2 arrived on PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X, and Nintendo Switch on October 4th, 2022, after multiple delays. However, with a disastrous launch where dedicated fans of the Blizzard IP waited in forty-thousand-player queues; signs pointed to a less-than-promising game awaiting players. Luckily Overwatch 2 stillBlizzard’s new addition to their roster of star-studded games Overwatch 2 arrived on PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X, and Nintendo Switch on October 4th, 2022, after multiple delays. However, with a disastrous launch where dedicated fans of the Blizzard IP waited in forty-thousand-player queues; signs pointed to a less-than-promising game awaiting players. Luckily Overwatch 2 still packs the punch the series always possessed with graphics reminiscent of your favorite Pixar movie and tactical gameplay which requires coordination from you and your teammates, though this game severely lacks enough content to warrant a sequel.

    A staple of Overwatch’s branding was its graphics. Unlike most games in the first-person shooter scene, Overwatch (2016) didn’t rely on the realistic grit found in team-based shooters such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (2012) and Rainbow Six Siege (2015); rather Blizzard built Overwatch (2016) with graphics that had a level of polish similar to Disney’s Pixar movies. Not much has changed in this department with its sequel sticking to a similar art style that seems to have a deeper level of detail due to the strides PC and console gaming have taken when it comes to processing power. Beautiful landscapes are fully explorable and are complimented by the upgraded engine Overwatch 2 runs on with most maps returning from Overwatch (2016).

    This is where the first red herring arises from the sequel. Overwatch 2 suffers from a lack of content. Overwatch (2016) launched with twenty-one playable heroes and twelve maps to play on which; Overwatch 2 launches with all the content of Overwatch (2016) but only offers three new heroes and eight new maps with the change in content meant to be excused by the games price tag which happens to be free. While the addition of new heroes and maps seems to be well thought out and balanced, the offered content is more in line with the updates Overwatch (2016) used to get. Every few months a new hero/map or even both were added to the first game before Overwatch 2’s announcement in 2019. A plus is that Overwatch 2 has already announced a plethora of content to come to the platform in the following months, but this doesn’t excuse a less pleasing launch for the sequel that was originally slated for a 2020 release.

    Another problem this game has is the change in its service model. Now that Overwatch 2 is technically free to play Blizzard has locked all the skins from Overwatch (2016) and newly added skins behind ridiculous paywalls with skins being upwards of USD 15 in most cases. This is a stark contrast to the original games where in-game items could be earned by merely playing the game and completing challenges. The original title was a $60 game however with content being added every few months it was worth every single penny. Locking the only earnable content behind a paywall is only harmful to the pa game’s possible success, especially if it alienates new players and old players alike.

    As per usual the highlight of the game is its gameplay. This is perhaps the biggest change as Overwatch 2 now hosts five versus five objective-based battles rather than the original six versus six. Now teams are formatted with one tank, two healers, and, two damage characters which has changed how enemy engagement happens within the game. With the sequel, the single tank now leads the team with more health and the ability to punish damage and healer opposition easier in comparison to teams being led by two softer tanks in Overwatch (2016). Damage characters have now been optimized and updated accordingly to be more aggressive and dish out, even more, kills than in the original game. Healers have always been a point of controversy in the world of Overwatch (2016) however other than a couple of characters such as Lucio and Zenyatta who don’t do enough healing characters now sport passive abilities which allow them to have a higher chance of survivability in the sequel. The biggest overhaul comes in one fell swoop with not as many tanks sporting shields to protect their team and most abilities which stunned characters being removed from the game to improve engagement and make the game overall a more aggressive experience.

    Overwatch 2 seems to be headed in the right direction in terms of gameplay and free hero/map content which is great considering this was a big selling point of its predecessor. However, this does not excuse the predatory free-to-play model which locks content previously added to the game and cosmetic items which are planned to be added in the foreseeable future. This paired with an underwhelming launch in comparison to Overwatch (2016) makes this an underbaked sequel with a lot of potential.

    The magic is gone, and I am sad. As a video game developer myself, and a very serious Overwatch 1 player, I appreciate several of the changes that they have made, but the game now feels fundamentally unbalanced. This results in wild murderballs that make for multiple team kills per game, on a nearly per-match basis.

    Overall, it plays faster, which I do enjoy. As a Lucio/Winston/Tracer
    The magic is gone, and I am sad. As a video game developer myself, and a very serious Overwatch 1 player, I appreciate several of the changes that they have made, but the game now feels fundamentally unbalanced. This results in wild murderballs that make for multiple team kills per game, on a nearly per-match basis.

    Overall, it plays faster, which I do enjoy. As a Lucio/Winston/Tracer main, I have fun with them. But the changes to tanks encourage more freelancing, which exposes healers to assasination. In OW1 with 2 tanks, you could have an off-tank/hunter, and a defender of the healers. Great. That was fine.

    Now, if your tank hunts, your healers are at risk. If even worse, you end up with 2 backline snipers, and an off-tank, it is auto-lose for the team, and truly an exercise in ultimate frustration for healers. They will constantly be on their own, or chasing the off-tank that abandons them, or just supporting backline snipers as the opposing team keeps the payload rolling or controls points.

    Team composition is absolutely critical. One mistake with the old 2/2/2 setup could be overcome more easily. Double snipers could be overcome with a Rein/Zarya setup or similar. Now... No hope.

    Becuase of this I absolutely refuse the Role Queue. I love my man Lucio, but if I see double snipers on my team, and a DVA, I will just be doomed. Better off to go Soldier/Mei so that I can survive myself, and maybe stall the other team. It is still a likely loss, but at least I have a fighting chance, rather than as a healer by myself.

    The Good:
    - Tanks are now much more fun in general
    - New characters all play well individually
    - Orissa is insanely fun, whereas I used to despise her boring hold-ground gameplay
    - It is pretty, little touches like improved VFX across the board really elevate it
    - New scoreboard is nice, can see ult status of teammates easily

    The Bad:
    - Feast or Famine momentum swings
    - Can be rage-quittingly frustrating as a healer
    - One mistake in team composition might not be able to be overcome
    - Robot push maps are crazy long, exacerbating problems with a freelancing team
    - UI is much harder to use. Reporting system is hard to use.
    - Exiting the game takes 4 clicks. Seriously? Bad UX there.
    - Good stuff like the fun leaderboard highlighting Environment Kills, Jump Pack kills, heals, is now gone. Boo!

    The switch to 5v5 was fresh and fun at first, but as time has gone on the game has shown itself to not be very fun. Especially if you're a tank, or support main. If you're a tank, be prepared to swap in an awful rock, paper, scissors that heavily favors the first tank to swap due to ult economy. Support?

    Graphics, and sound are great. Character design is solid, though the balance is atrocious. Never a good sign when they buff a character while believing they nerfed it.

    F2P has locked everything behind an overpriced paywall. There's zero meaningful progression, and the game's matchmaker must be drunk to justify it's choices.

    Games are either EZ Claps, or impossible. Fun, challenging games that could go either way? They're so rare that I can't even remember experiencing them.

    There's pretty much zero feedback in comp after games now, so it feels like QP. I get what they were trying to do by hiding your SR, but it's a terrible change. Nevermind, that your shown rank is make believe BS that has absolutely zero impact on your hidden Match Making Rating.

    I sincerely hope Blizzard figures it out before the game is dead.

    Hope they do something with this franchise, because it has great potential, but as always with blizz games, it is probably going nowhere.

    Another thing I don't like is the removal of loot boxes, that was a fair and fun way of getting free stuff in the game, now if you Want a cosmetic you're obligated to buy, because doing missions isn't worth it.

    So, basically overwatch 2 is a medium sized overwatch 1 DLC, but free with micro transactions now.

    The game itself is good, but it's the same as the first one, I can't rate it higher for much I want to do it. A better title for the game would be "Overwatch: EA"

    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.
