    The balance is impressive for a game with so much specialists. Moreover, the essence of the game, based on teamplay is really interesting and challenging. Very good game to try (on top of that it is free), especially for those who don't like battle royale. Waiting for the PVE

    Tem toda aquela história de "ain é o mesmo jogo". Sim, é o mesmo jogo com skinzinha diferente, mas ele abriu, por exemplo, oportunidade para pessoas sem muito dinheiro, como eu, desfrutar da obra prima que é o Overwatch. Impressionado que (por enquanto) não é pay to win.

    The game have a lot of heroes to choose from, there is almost no bugs and it has a unique gameplay compared to other shooters.

    The only thing i hate it's the bad matchmaking.

    Edit: Initialy I gave 0 for hero lock but after season 1 it turned out that unlocking recent heroes is kinda easy. They also partially turned off SMS protection for the old users. It is not that bad now.

    As a 1500 hour plus, once gm player. The gameplay is so much better. It’s much more fast paced and I love this new direction of overwatch. The new support is even my new favorite hero. Fantastic gameplay. Only reason it doesn’t get a 10 is because of the **** monetization. Never been a skin person anyways though.

    5v5 refreshes the game, the Battlepas gives you something to grind for.
    It is now totally free if you want to.
    It is not a complete game though, since the PvE elements are still to be added to the game.
    The mob here just does not like to objectively review the game without playing. But that is the issue with Metacritic.

    The biggest patch ever in OW1, but it revives the joy from OW1 with it

    Pros
    + Reduce teamwork and reward more solo playmaking
    + Reduce frustration from de-rank due to teammates
    + New mode solves the previous issue perfectly
    + Fun per minutes spent is superb
    + Feels more like a shooters than MOBA

    Cons
    - Expensive skin
    - High skill ceiling for casuals
    - Balancing issues

Some aspects of of the new business model have been either questionable or simply poorly thought out, creating a early experience that left me and many others disappointed. People used the the previous business model might find what blizzard is doing offensive but lets not forget that they were not making any money on the loot box system, making that model unsustainable. Some of the current pricing for some items is clearly overpriced, but the general idea of a battle pass is reasonable and health enough to keep this game going. What is wrong is locking gameplay elements behind this like heroes, this just leads to unnecessary backlash and frustration. Still, as a game, Overwatch 2 improved on its predecessor significantly, fixing some of the first games glaring problems. Lets hope the upcoming PvE truly solidifies this game as the best in its genre.… Expand

    I'm sorry this game does not deserve 1.5 stars, usually I'm with the community on these divisive game choices but not here. The monetization needs to be improved yes, and the game is a bit buggy. But the gameplay is so addicting and the removal of that 6 player is so game changing that it honestly boosts the game way above it faults. Haters gonna hate, this game is awesome.

    Great visuals and aesthetic. 5v5 feels faster and more exciting. New maps are well-designed and feature numerous strategic avenues. Push Mode allows for some tense back-and-forth exchanges. The new heroes are fun to play. Most of the new voice lines and interactions are well done. Still feels good to control and offers great connectivity despite an initially shaky launch.

    Bad-
    Some annoying bugs and Challenges. Audio mixing needs some work, especially when it comes to enemy footsteps. Non-Battle Pass progression feels hamstrung with little to no rewards to earn outside of the Premium pass. Amount of free premium currency is pitiable. UI still needs some work.

    Thoughts-
    In its current early access, Overwatch 2 has a lot going for it. There are a lot of good things, especially for those who care about the core gameplay. But there are some negatives, whether it’s aspects of monetization, the UI, or progression. This is a new beginning, for better or worse. A lot hinges on the future PvE content, how Blizzard addresses and balancing concerns, whether future Battle Passes offer a decent slate of rewards, the appeal of limited-time events, new heroes and maps, and much more. At this moment, it is fun, and a fresh new experience for me, fabled Blizzard polish be damned. Whether it remains that way is anyone’s guess.    … Expand

    Overwatch 2 is essentially a free update, with additional heroes, new abilities, new maps and a couple of Quality of Life improvements. The problem is, the game still has the exact same issues it used to have, and the new progression system is flawed and confusing.

    Going to just explain that the original intent (Kaplan) was never to go F2P. And this is ONLY the pvp portion of OW2. So yes, it is essentially "JUST" an update/rework, because the rest is still to come. This is mostly a restructuring of the new monetization and transition to a live service game.

    So what does this free update bring?

    6 entirely new maps. All amazing
    3 entirely new heroes. All amazing. 4th (tank) in December
    1 entirely new mode. Amazing

    All characters have new baseline look, new animations, and new voice lines

    Major reworks to characters like Orisa and Bastion

    So how is it? Imo new meta with less shields, less cc, and less tank is literally what the game needed to be fun again. If you're a lapsed player or even a new player. Check it out, play for yourself. You might find a reason to fall back in love with the game, and at the very least, have fun again!

    You unlock heroes at a pretty steady pace as a new user.
    Battle Pass XP and Challenges are pretty good (compared to Halo and Gundam)
    Ps5/XSX versions of the game with new graphical options and other improvements

    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

    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.

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

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

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.

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.    … 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

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!    … Expand

    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. They changed the abilities of 2 old heroes. They replaced loot boxes with a battle pass.Ignoring the launch issues... this isn't a sequel. Overwatch 2 isn't a new game.

    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.

    Cant speak for how it compares to recent Overwatch 1, but as someone who stopped playing around 3 years ago, this game is not worth your time.

    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!

    I don’t really care about the monetization but it wasn’t cool to be forced from OW1 to OW2. I also miss some old maps.

    + Only one Tank + better graphics + better UI + new heroes and skins - worse net code - worse latency - bad matchmaking (I know you can’t win every time but you shouldn’t be losing match after match) - bad tanks (there shouldn’t be FAST tanks) - game is faster    I don’t really care about the monetization but it wasn’t cool to be forced from OW1 to OW2.

    I mean, it’s pretty much overwatch 1 just rebalanced a bit. A couple of minor changes to each character and added two new ones.

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

My tip is that u should compete in Asia region, before getting in the America and Europe ones. 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

    was hyped for it but got disappointed.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
