    A very bad experience, I believe I'm still playing TF2

    But I still really like to remember the contents of Overwatch in 2017

    Looking at it for the gamemodes and gunplay aspect it hits the spot when needed. But due to blizzards poor management of the title. And failed and false promises it becomes hard to see what is rather then what could have been. Still enjoy the game but could be infinitely better.

    I like the game, but i dont like what has happened to it, i mean the dissapointment hearing that the skill tree was removed and that the pve costs was horrible, but the missions are good, id say worth the 15€ well some might say, but everything else is good and the game is perfectly balanced (except illari and wifeleaver) but an ok game

    Overwatch 2... Overwatch Season 2 would be appropriate, the quality of the game is the same. It's not that the game isn't good, but there's no reason for people who quit after 1 to come back.

    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.    … Expand

    I mean, it's alright.
    Could be way better, it's the same game with few more characters, new maps and a new gamemode (wich I personally don't like)
    It feels like they just named it "2" to attract new players and players who used to play before but didn't do it later. If they focused on the story, and added a story mode or something it could have gone wayyy different. Hope they do something    I mean, it's alright.

    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"

    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!

    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? Learn to run for your life, as your teammates get insta-gibbed.

    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.

    Overwatch 2 para muitos ´é um fiasco e extremamente abusivo e com muitas micro transações. Sabe, acredito que o jogo continua divertido, mesmo sem ganhar a quantidade de skins que vc ganharia de forma "gratuita", vc ainda teria que comprar o jogo. 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.Overwatch 2 para muitos ´é um fiasco e extremamente abusivo e com muitas micro transações. Sabe, acredito que o jogo continua divertido, mesmo sem ganhar a quantidade de skins que vc ganharia de forma "gratuita", vc ainda teria que comprar o jogo. 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.

The gameplay isn’t that boring, the game is simply too old and that’s what makes it boring. I mean if it’s your thing to play the same game for 8 years plus, then have at it. The predatory monetization and **** comp system though kind of make this game even worse. At least in overwatch one I was able to collect a decent number of good skins simply through free loot boxes I earned playing the game, now you can only earn what is on the season pass or pay outrages amounts of money for the skins that you want. I mean if you never played overwatch one than you may enjoy the game, but if you are an OG then it’ll probably bore you in a few weeks.… Expand

    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.
