    This should have just been a patch. I noticed almost nothing different. Come on. I'll give it a 7 because OW is great fun, but this isn't a sequel, it's a shareholder thing.

    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

    Ok so just for peoples that don't know Overwatch, the game is currently being review bombed for multiple good and less good reasons. In it's core, the game is the best hero shooter ever made. 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    Ok so just for peoples that don't know Overwatch, the game is currently being review bombed for multiple good and less good reasons. In it's core, the game is the best hero shooter ever made. 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.    … Expand

    Does this game deserve a 1.5? I think not.
    I am glad that now teamwork plays an important role here. Because before, when 1-2 people from your team died, you could still hold the defense, now you have to regroup.
    That's why I think it's an ordinary hack. This game will only deserve a number 2 when more content comes out here.

    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.

    Buena jugabilidad: es un FPS bastante rapido con mucha accion durante las partidas. Hay variedad de campeones para elegir por lo que puedes variar tu forma de jugar siempre que quieras, cuesta tiempo llegar a dominar las mecanicas de algunos campeones y saber utilizarlos correctamente.

    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.

    Con todo y sus problemas, como Hero Shooter es bastante bueno para jugar con los amigos. Es dificil aburrirse debido a los diferentes modos de juego creados por Blizzard y todo lo creado en la Workshop por parte de la comunidad    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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.    … 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.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.

    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.

    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.
