    Overwatch 1 is my favorite online shooter of all time and this one lives up to it, while it has improved in many ways there is still the negatives of free to play microtransactions, which can be overlooked for the most part.

    They ruined the game. I was so excited for Overwatch 2, only to find it as an essentially rebranded game. Those skins you could once earn for free after paying 60 dollars for the game? Haha, yeah. $15 dollars per legendary skin, now. It takes ~$12,000 dollars to buy everything that was one available to be earned in Overwatch 1.

    When I started playing OW2, the queue to enter the game was long and for some reason, it still took over 5-7 minutes to find a match. When I finally did find a match, I noticed some weird bug going on with Bastion (He was able to fire MANY more times during his ult than he was supposed to...). There was also someone with an aimbot Widowmaker... So much for the whole verification thing to cut down on hacking... For something teased years ago, it honestly feels like a huge step back... The only thing I kind of liked was that with 5V5, gameplay feels faster and there isn't the double-shielded tanks situation that slowed down gameplay in Overwatch 1.

    And as someone who payed for Overwatch 1, it's kind of weird that I can't even play it anymore. So they took my purchase and are asking for more money? I mean, it's fine that a company needs to make profit, but this is not the way to do it.

    Overwatch 2 was launched incomplete.
    Weapon Charms were added to the game (good in theory), but they were added lazily, with some pointing out that for one character, the charm sticks out of his hand, rather than being incorporated into their weapon.
    At launch I had access to one Weapon Charm which was not interesting enough to use.
    Can you earn more?
    Maybe?
    The Battlepass system they implemented was confusing to understand, even with a tutorial.
    It is much less rewarding (if rewarding at all) than a loot box system; let me be clear, there is a difference to me between "loot boxes" and "paid loot boxes", the latter being debatably unethical, utilizing gambling mechanisms on vulnerable people to take money from them they otherwise would not have spent.
    I have seen many sources point out how expensive it would be to buy cosmetics, including cosmetics that were in OW1; I understand a company has to make money, but this smells of greed.
    The game does let you play as old skins from OW1, if you do not want to play as the OW2 skins, however, the in-game portraits for the character you are playing appears to be OW2, and there is no ability to change it, and at least for a couple characters, I do not like the new designs, and the portraits are distracting (OW2 should allow you to select from more portraits, such as OW1 versions).
    I personally do not like the mode Push as much as old modes.
    Some of the new maps are bland, uninspired, and lack the amazing design of maps from OW1.
    I prefer 6v6 (OW1) to 5v5 (OW2).
    OW2 removes quality of life features from OW1.
    OW2 tweaks little things here and there which make them worse than OW1.
    OW2 downgraded post-game voting and commending, which was a terrible decision.
    If OW1 still existed (Blizzard ultimately broke their promise to maintain OW1 [see the Wikipedia article for Overwatch for source]), I might play it over OW2, but since I have no choice I will play OW2.
    But I notice I am playing OW2 less often than I did OW1, even though it is a brand new game.
    I will do my best to avoid spending any money on OW2, until Blizzard addresses my concerns in this review, as well as countless others I have read in other reviews, on this site and others.
    OW1 was such an amazing game.
    OW2 is a downgrade of OW1, just so Blizzard could try to squeeze more money out of players.    … Expand

One tank can’t take nearly enough aggro and it’s really only about shooting and getting kills now, synergising abilities matters far less and the game is very DPS focussed. Frontline and back line are far less defined and fights are all a bit of a mess, teams have less survivability, fights are far shorter, healers get wiped so easily with minimal protection, healing feels more redundant a role with people dying so quickly, first pick determines most fights, and it’s more about individuals getting picks than synergising anything, individual play can have more impact but it’s at the expense of what made Overwatch a great TEAM shooter. It literally plays like somewhere between Overwatch and traditional Call of Duty. This goes for some of the presentation as well, in terms of the sound design, how kills are confirmed, medals popping up for all kinds of different nonsense. Their intentions are clearly to make this appeal to a wider audience by making it closer to a conventional shooter and dumbing it down, to then monetise the hell out of it. Attract a new crowd of kids and make them want to buy loads of content. Scumbags. £3 for an emote, £8 for a character skin. Constantly pushing a battle pass which will constantly need renewing at around £10 a time. And what a joke to call this Overwatch 2. There’s not enough new content to even call it Overwatch 1.5. Maybe 1.1. Literally one new hero of each class and a few maps. And the new game mode is so unbelievably bad. This in no way at all feels like a new game. It’s just Overwatch 1 with a crappy battle pass, more micro transactions and cash grabs and a slightly new aesthetic. And the new stuff that is in the game is the worst stuff they’ve ever done. The vultures have come to Blizzard and all they care about is money. After how this, Diablo and Hearthstone have been, I’m officially done with Blizzard and their greed. They’re finished… Expand

    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.

    Blizzard is the absolute pinnacle of greed. Do not play this game... Blizzard doesn't care for you or their employees and they will milk every penny out of your pocket if they can. This is not a sequel, it's the same game but with more greed forged into it. Not worth your time, please play anything else.

    The new monetization in OW2 is just terrible.

    In battle pass, you are not given any currency, all cosmetics are worth real money and the cost of cosmetics has been increased by 2 times. Monetization in this game is the purest scam.

    Heroes in the battle pass? Really?

    And a gift to the players from OW1 this is epic skins, one of which is a clown skin? Very funny, Mr.Blizzard.

    Blizzards greed knows no bounds. They deleted the first Overwatch, a game which over 50 million people paid money for and replaced it with this free to play garbage. Overwatch 2 is not a sequel. It is literally just a patch with many significant downgrades that I'll list below.

They deleted the first Overwatch, a game which over 50 million people paid money for and replaced it with this free to play garbage. Overwatch 2 is not a sequel. It is literally just a patch with many significant downgrades that I'll list below.

    1. Collecting cosmetics (skins, emotes, voice lines, etc) was a large and fun part of the first game. You earned them by simply playing the game. An Overwatch veteran that had been playing regularly for the past 6 years could quite literally have every cosmetic in the game without buying a single loot box. In Overwatch 2 all this content was essentially made unattainable and placed behind an egregious paywall. A single legendary skin now costs $20 or an insane 8 months of grinding. It now costs a new player over $12,000 to get every cosmetic. Blizzard has stripped the game of content that was previously "free" and is now forcing people to pay for it.

    2. Overwatch is now pay to win. While existing players get the new heroes immediately (specifically Kiriko), going forward (after Season 1), even veteran players will be subjected to the new pay to win model. New heroes will be "free", but you'll have to grind for weeks to unlock them. Meanwhile anyone that pays real money for the current battle pass will immediately unlock that season's new hero.

    3. Hit registration and mouse input is completely busted. Casuals, and especially ones without good aim on hitscan, don't seem aware of this. It was immediately obvious to me how bad the game feels because of this. There are dozens of clips already floating around demonstrating the plethora of hit reg and mouse related issues this game has.

    4. Progression system has been neutered. In Overwatch, one of the main progression systems was leveling up. You earned xp for playing the game and upon leveling up you received a random collection of cosmetics and/or currency to buy specific ones you wanted. There was no level cap, so even veterans playing since 2016 could keep attaining this. This system is straight up deleted in Overwatch 2 and you now must pay insane amounts of real money to keep collecting anything you didn't attain in the first game.

    5. Competitive ranks are hidden from the scoreboard. You can no longer see anyone's rank at a glance. This just further strips the game of any sense of progression, community, and individuality. The reasoning for this change is to combat "toxicity", but that makes zero sense considering cards were replaced with a proper scoreboard which now directly shows statistics. This is a very illogical change.

    6. New competitive rank icons are objectively a downgrade. Why fix something that wasn't broken? I feel this was changed for no other reason than the sake of change.

    7. Competitive rank and/or account level (deleted from game) is no longer displayed in the bottom left of the screen around your portrait. There is literally zero reason to also strip the players ability to see their own rank in a game. Even if you hide everyone else's. This again strips away another sense of progression from players.

    8. On fire system neutered. In Overwatch you got a cool blue flame animation behind/around your character portrait in the bottom left and on the score screen when you were doing good. This system was great. It felt rewarding and gave players a sense of how well they were doing. This system was essentially deleted from Overwatch 2 with again "toxicity" being the reasoning.

    9. Medal system removed. Once again "toxicity" is the reasoning. Removing this system strips the player of information. The medal system let you very quickly see at a glance how you were preforming. Now you have to spend longer staring at a bunch of numbers. Medals could have easily stayed in addition to the new detailed scoreboard statistics.

    10. User interface is objectively downgraded. The UI both looks and performs worse. There is a plethora of screenshot and videos out there going over the issues. Many parts of the UI are more unpleasant to look at, sloppily done (ui elements misaligned, uneven, clipping), and the biggest issue is that there were pointless animations added to UI elements that previously opened / responded instantaneously. The biggest issue is the scoreboard / screen now has an animation instead of opening instantly.

    11. Legendary skins for the new heroes are a joke. ALL of them look like the most basic recolors. There's nothing special about them at all. Blizzard actually put zero effort into the new hero skins. Not that it matters because they are essentially unattainable because they each cost $20.

    It absolutely baffles me how such a large studio can make so many terrible decisions. I feel that a lot of this stuff was likely changed as an attempt to make the game feel new.

    That and OW2 replaces OW1, so we can't even return to the old version if we wanted to. SMS protect locks players out of the game because they're "too poor" to afford post-paid phone plans. Blizzard tracks, records, and stores everything you do and say in the game (so an issue with overall privacy).

    Love this game, really a fun game. This is not another pay-to-win game. And, Season-Pass won't give you any advantages or unlock special weapons; it simply gives you new voice / sticker / looking... etc. Game runs smoothly, wonderful shooting sound, even if you are not an FPS expert player, you can still feel fun in this game.

    Blizzard has ruined the game. I loved Overwatch 1, nothing should have been changed. Everything was perfect. If they wanted to release something new, maybe they should have just released a few maps and that's it. Now you can't play a hero anymore. All of them have been completely nerfed in some way. Unplayable. 0 / 10 stars.

    Double shield, GOATs, Brigitte, crowd control abilities. There were so many things that made OW1 frustrating. All of that is gone, the game feels more balanced and fun now.

    6 years in the making, Overwatch 2 has now permanently replaced Overwatch 1 leaving no choice but to play the sequel.

This was the highlighted feature and reason for developing Overwatch 2, yet it is nowhere in sight. You may ask what else they've changed, well, they've reduced the team size from 6 vs 6 players down to 5 vs 5 making it so I can no longer play with my usual group of friends. While this in itself is outright terrible, it gets even worse. It's extremely insulting that unlocks for characters take months to grind for and many of the premium unlocks require spending as much as $20. In fact it would cost over $12,000 to buy all the current content in the game! This when you could get much of it quite easily in Overwatch 1 just by playing far far less time than you would in Overwatch 2. This entire game has been a slap in the face to long time fans of the game and an utter cash grab by Blizzard. This company has zero respect for its fans. If they did, they would have kept Overwatch 1 servers alive like many other companies do for their online games. I'm sure almost everyone given the choice would rather be playing Overwatch 1… Expand

    I enjoy the gameplay, like the new push mode. I do wish we didn't have the battlepass, because it does suck. However, for a free game, I don't mind it, I don't need skins to enjoy a game. It's a great game to play with friends.

    pro:
    - excellent optimization
    - excellent netcode
    cons:
    The result of six years of work on the balance is the reduction of the team by one player.
    Problem is Blizzard don't know what balance is, the gameplay is absolutely not balanced. An equal fight between two teams is a rare exception

    Overwatch 2 is at the time of writing still not fully out (PvE modes are not out yet) but regardless there are serval problems that I'm very worried about for the long run of this game.

    1) the monetization is just downright bad, 1 legendary skin is nearly £20 and so is the "best" version of the battle pass witch is ultimately a let down.

    The next problem is that the coins that are required to buy anything, are only obtainable in two ways, by either buying them with real money, or completing 11 weekly challenges for 60 coins witch is not enough for even the cheapest items in the store.

    Legendry's cost 1100 coins so at a max of 60 coins a week it would take almost 19 weeks for one skin or what blizzard wants is for your £20.

    2)the lack of incentives is also a problem and it ties into the 1st problem being because everything cool is locked behind a pay wall you'll have nothing to grind for or feel accomplishment for unlocking.
    one way to fix both problems would be to increase the coins gained from challenges and add the coins to daily and sessional challenges as well, and add coins in free tears of the battle pass and some of the paid tears to incentives grinding that out.

    Something else to look at is the fact that blizzard could be doing a 2 steps forward 1 step back by making it really bad monetization wise now only to go a little bit back so consumers are more ok with some still very predatory ways of making money from you.

    finally the game its self is still enjoyable but that shouldn't give the other problems a free pass.

    edit: a legendary is actually 1900 coins so at a max of 60 a week it will take around 32 weeks of grind for one skin    … Expand

    This is nothing like “Overwatch”, new players be warned as you must unlock essential characters either through a paywall or spending hours and hours of time. All skins must be paid for with real money or grind on daily challenges that only give you a small percentage of what is needed to buy the skins. Also you need a valid phone plan to even play the game (so they can sell your info).This is nothing like “Overwatch”, new players be warned as you must unlock essential characters either through a paywall or spending hours and hours of time.

    The changes in the game make it so this is more like a CoD game than a hero shooter.

    The new maps are very poorly balanced.

    Battlepass is a huge grind and you have to pay for skins now.

    It's a step forward in some ways but ultimately; 5 steps backward.

    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

    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.
