    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].

    Ignoring the launch issues... this isn't a sequel. Overwatch 2 isn't a new game. It's literally just an update for Overwatch 1. You can't even play Overwatch 1 anymore because they updated it and it turned into Overwatch 2. Because it's the same game. So what did the update do? They added 3 heroes.

    its playable but you CANNOT earn any skins, you can grind for 36 weeks, yes 36 WEEKS for one legendary skin in a Hero shooter with two dozens of heroes.

Unfortunately, I can only give it a 5 because the game has no scoreboard, ranked mode, and any standard game modes like TDM, capture the flag, etc. The biggest flaw of all is that after winning, the game puts u into this very boring hero shooter mini-game that just feels kinda out of place.… Expand

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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    Jugablemente, overwatch 2 es una casi excelente, llevo jugando al original desde que salió y sigue siendo una maravilla. Ahora bien, el formato free to play no le ha hecho ningún bien, haciendo que la progresión sea un despropósito de escalas cósmicas, forzándote a pagar para tener la sensación de progresar.

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...    … Expand

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.

    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.
