    It's a complete joke: gameplay: they don't adapt most heroes to the new reality, just compare new Kiriko and old supports, game rise up mobility and many characters have left behind monetization... I just don't want to talk about it, it's the most cancerous system in years

    Worst release ever, at this point the entire payroll at Blizzard is full of incompetent parasites from top to bottom. The video game world would be a better place if Blizzard was forced to shut down right now. The greedy leadership on top of any employee that stayed at that toxic company and is enabling their anti consumer business models and strategies should be ashamed of themselves.

    R.I.P Overwatch. Downgraded graphics (particularly lighting), downgraded interface, queues to launch game, **** monetization (60 credits per week with with a skin price of 2000, are you kidding?), battle pass grind to unlock new heroes for free - not what I bought overwatch for. Blizzard is no longer the team that made Overwatch. Please don't support Blizzard, don't make any in-game purchases.

    Играть просто не приятно. Это уже не Overwatch, а жалкая пародия на Valorant и CoD.
    Новая монетизация слишком агрессивна, пропала возможность открывать косметику просто играя, как это было в оригинальной игре. Иначе как назвать игру донатной помойкой, язык не поворачивается.
    Я очень хочу поиграть в Overwatch, но сервера закрыты, и игра похоронена. А Overwatch 2 не дарит тех же эмоций от геймплея как оригинал.

    Terrible game filled with microtransactions it feels like a soulless cash grab. Its basically an update disguised as a new game and that's why they shut down the first game. You cant even play this game if you are poor because you need a phone and a phone plan. Prepaid plans and even services like mint and cricket aren't accepted so you cant play.

    It's pay to win trash. Just sell it up front like the original instead of locking characters behind a paywall. Removing the original game shows just how scummy they are. The free way of unlocking characters is in no way reasonable. It's because of games like this that I no longer bother with anything "F2P". The uninstall is the only good thing about it.

    Absurd, game breaking que times upon initial release
    Routine disconnects which prevent normal games for either team
    A surprising amount of bugs which interfere with normal gameplay

    After the first few days:
    Hey, I like a lot of these changes
    My matches are somewhat balanced
    Seems to be working well

    Last Weekend, Monday, Tuesday:
    Almost all of my heroes get locked for a night
    I have to deal with que times again?
    Every match is, once again like in Overwatch 1, roll or be rolled, stomp or get stomped

    You know, I don't even care that much about the battlepass/store (even though it is atrocious and far worse than the old lootbox system), but I do care about being able to play a well matched game without bugs or disconnect issues. OW2 has already become OW1 in regards to this unacceptable circumstance.

    And the teammates you get these days, wow. I had a tank on my team last night in a competitive game who constantly bemoaned my inability to heal them, yet I had the most heals in the whole game from beginning to end. I said to them during the match, "press tab and look at the scoreboard." They obviously never did because they made the same complaint to the match chat at the end of the game. The enemy healers and my fellow support had about 7k healing each. I had 14k heals. So you can do literally twice the amount of healing as every other player in the game, lose, and still have your team's tank pin the failure on you. What more can you do in that circumstance? It is impossible to make your tank and other teammates not kill themselves by exposing themselves to multiple 5v1 scenarios (which is impossible to out-heal, of course). You can't make them kill the enemy or understand basic mechanics of the game like getting on the objective or appropriately using the map to avoid damage. Your teammates may very well not understand how their hero, their teammates heroes, or their enemy heroes function or how they should be countered. The game becomes broken, but you're the one getting blamed for the loss despite doing statistically more than anyone else in your role.

    Overwatch 2 is a frustrating group project without satisfying rewards.

    Sadly, I don't think I will even give OW2 a second shot after all of these issues. I say sadly because I really do appreciate and enjoy the idea of Overwatch. Unfortunately, the reality of Overwatch is a frustrating mess with some of the dumbest, most hateful people you will encounter on this planet.    … Expand

    When Blizzard announced Overwatch 2, the gaming community was abuzz with anticipation. Overwatch, with its colorful roster of characters and fast-paced gameplay, had cemented its place as one of the premier first-person shooters of its time. The sequel promised more: a fresh layer of depth with PvE (Player vs. Environment) content and an expansion on the already rich lore. But did it liveWhen Blizzard announced Overwatch 2, the gaming community was abuzz with anticipation. Overwatch, with its colorful roster of characters and fast-paced gameplay, had cemented its place as one of the premier first-person shooters of its time. The sequel promised more: a fresh layer of depth with PvE (Player vs. Environment) content and an expansion on the already rich lore. But did it live up to the hype?

    PvE Content - A Missed Opportunity:
    One of the standout features Blizzard highlighted for Overwatch 2 was its PvE content. However, upon release, it quickly became evident that this aspect of the game was not as fleshed out as many had hoped. The missions felt repetitive, lacking the depth and variety that would justify a full-priced sequel.

    Financial Concerns:
    The decision to release a sequel rather than updating the original Overwatch with new content raised eyebrows. To many fans, it felt like a calculated move to extract more money, especially those who had invested heavily in the original title, both financially and in terms of time spent.

    Familiarity Breeds Contempt:
    While sequels are expected to retain core elements from their predecessors, Overwatch 2 often felt more like an expansion pack than a full-fledged sequel. The gameplay mechanics, while still solid, didn’t offer much innovation. The line between familiar comfort and stagnant repetition became blurred.

    Technical Issues:
    Post-launch, players reported various bugs and glitches that, while not game-breaking, were significant enough to detract from the overall experience. For a sequel from a seasoned developer like Blizzard, such oversights were unexpected and disappointing.

    A Mixed Bag of Updates:
    While some heroes got intriguing redesigns and skill tweaks, others felt untouched or even unbalanced. This inconsistency made the meta feel uneven, impacting the competitive scene and casual play alike.

    Communication Breakdown:
    One of the enduring criticisms was Blizzard's perceived lack of transparent communication regarding their vision for the sequel, post-launch plans, and addressing community feedback. Given the passionate Overwatch community, this perceived silence felt like a snub.

    In conclusion, while Overwatch 2 did bring some new content to the table, it faltered in areas that mattered most to its dedicated player base. The decision to release it as a separate title, especially with its steep price point, left many feeling short-changed. The sequel, instead of elevating the franchise to new heights, serves as a cautionary tale about understanding and respecting a game's community and their expectations.    … Expand

    Worst game ever... It's not even a new game, it's just a meh patch with some maps and OP heroes that will be nerfed 3 months after...

    Dog water, they didn't "break" the game but they messed up literally everything they touched.
    The battle pass encourages bad playing just so you can get points on a pass that you'll get nothing of worth from.
    The challenges for the battle pass makes it feel like a job that you HAVE to play multiple hours every day.

    Blizzard lied. it was never about making PVE content, it was about changing the monetization.
    There are insiders that leaked that blizzard already knew that there wasn't going to be PVE even when they released the game, it is pretty easy to guess why they only announced it now and not when they knew.

    They took a good game and made it worse. the new monetisation is worse than what we had before, grinding for 8 months for a skin is absurd, most hero reworks are less fun to play than before, and now the game crashes constantly and takes the best part of an hour to get past the stupid queue. I want to play the game I *paid for* again. bring back overwatch 1.

    The promised Overwatch 2 was specifically the PvE content. Now that story is dead in favor of a monetized system of seasonal battle passes. They figured well they can't make consistent money on a box priced game. They prefer to stick to a battle pass system and scrap PvE all together. We need JEFF BACK!!! SAVE US!!!

    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.
