    I'm shocked with blizzard's greed, normal servers were not paid, knowing that there would be a huge influx of players, old players were not given a bp (which by the way cannot be recouped and earn currency, delicious), this garbage (game) will not live long

    It's THE WORST update in the game industry EVER.

    It's THE WORST update in the game industry EVER.

    I've been a huge fan of Overwatch, and I've played it since 2017. And I've been waiting for the new update so much. But instead of fun, I've received colossal disappointment.

    First of all, QUEUES. Really big queues. You can wait for hours to play this game. And when you've passed an exhausting long queue, the server crashes, and you need to wait in the queue again.

    Secondly, terrible OPTIMIZATION. I've got a laptop that passes all system requirements for playing Overwatch, but the game's crushing every 5-10 mins of gameplay. But ok, I've tried to play on the Nintendo Switch, and I can't pass phone confirmation; it just doesn't work.

    Thirdly, when I finally passed all circles of hell. I've noticed that there aren't any updates to call it Overwatch 2 instead of Overwatch 1.2. Now this game it's just another lousy alternative to Fortnite.

    Shame on you, Blizzard!

    New game absolutely SUCKS!!! Servers are dead, optimization is dead, and you need to pay real world money to buy in-game cosmetics!! Game had lootboxes before but every item used to be obtainable without paying, it was optional, but now its just AGGRESSIVE! DISGUSTING... They killed not the original overwatch but Blizzard itself and I'm glad this happened....

    Already not great. I probably wont even play it. Why?? Because they require a phone number to login. Well I dont live in my home country right now and when I requested to change my region they said it's impossible so create a new account. I do not want to lose my progress for the last few years of playing Overwatch. They should not force to enter a phone number, they should have other options.

    Ignore the salty ones in the reviews. The game is a quantum leap from OW1. A lot more dynamic, fast-paced and less repetitive. New metas will arise and various very welcome improvements.

    I also commend Blizzard for at least attempting to fight off cheaters, smurfs and disruptive folks. Let's be honest, of that that there was plenty in OW1. Thank you.

    Cut Blizzard some slack and just enjoy the game for what it is. If you're facing issues, give them a few days to iron out the kinks that any game launch with this big of an audience is prone to have.

    Thanks for a great update, Blizz.

    Looks like scam - I bought Overwatch 1, but they decided to kill whole game by stop updating, then just turned it off. In overwatch 2 they maximised monetisation, there is no fun at all. And I can't return to old version, even i paid for it, wtf.

    A big disappointment both for me and for the whole community. It is obvious that modern Blizzard wants to get rid of the "unnecessary" players who paid for the game and received all the content in it just by playing.

    Positive:
    + The graphics in the game have improved slightly.
    + Rebalancing of some characters only benefited the game, but they literally killed some of them.
    Minuses:
    - A huge number of microtransactions. You simply can't pump the purchased BattlePass without additional expenses. BP can be farmed, but it will take 221 days, which again devalues the work of the players.
    - During the 3-year break, they released exactly as much content as they could release without a break.
    - The number 2 in the title is a joke designed to find hamsters with money who love to donate to new games and be the most fashionable in them. But there is one problem - you have to play the game, which means that Blizzard will get its profit at the start, but then it will be sharply disappointed in the massive outflow of players, as it was with everyone who abused the audience's trust.

    I want to say that no matter how you feel about the game, if it gives you pleasure - play and enjoy, but if something does not suit you, then feel free to speak about it on Twitter or on other platforms convenient to you.
    I'm disappointed...

    Most of old characters are useless. You can only play with 4 of your friends, not 5.
    And the main problem is the game is faster, but surprisely boring.

    Worst 5v5 shooter ever. Instead of dull shield play, we get dull overhealing play and broken balance of the game's classic characters. Playing as a single tank feels like constantly beating up characters that are always full hp. If Blizzard doesn't bring back Overwatch Classic, most people will turn their backs on them.

    1. Lightning. Some parts of the maps are now poorly lighted. This not only puts strain on the eyes, but adversely affects the playability.

    2. Animations and physics engine. Overwatch 1 had great character animations, walking, running animations complemented each hero's physicality. Character kinematics in OW2 looks off. For instance, Junker queen's movements looks essentially like a chop-stick figure, without any regard to her big size. Recoil effects are bit exaggerated. Some heroes are, as usual bit over-tuned, Orisa anyone ? Some are under-tuned, imo. Hanzo's, not fully drawn, arrow speed has been decreased to a point that it just looks ridiculous.

    3 Information overload: Hud, especially during active buffs, looks like a fcking disco ball. There is too much information, which itself is not the issue but the way it is displayed on the screen just takes up too much space, again not helping the playability.

    4. As everyone here has already mentioned, connection is another major issue. But I think this can be worked out over time.

    5. Asking for phone authentication. What ?!

    В итоге я предлагаю байкотировать студию и её проекты по тому что пока пидора (Бобби котика) не пнут под жопу и не наберут людей игры будут катиться на дно и постоянно огорчать верных фанатов студии. Но в любом случае вряд-ли они дойдут до этого со своими микро мозгами и нам придётся терпеть или же уходить в более крутые проекты.

    Overwatch was a game that you came to play, enjoyed the gameplay and got new loot every week, there was a certain motivation to play. In those very moments when a legendary skin or an epic skin falls out of the case, you really experience some kind of pleasant feeling, like in some casino when you hit the jackpot, and it was always some kind of surprise effect, everyone was running with different skins.

    Overwatch 2 is the same game with minor changes, in some cases even for the worse, for example, tanks, which are now almost impossible to destroy using the example of Orisa and Zarya. I also don't see a problem with adding 5x5 and 6x6 to the game because a lot of people don't like the new update. There is no motivation to play anymore because the game offers you nothing for playing it. I and millions of players believe that battlepass is garbage that all modern games earn from, but still some games are able to create a good battlepass, but, unfortunately, this is not about Overwatch 2. There is no surprise effect, as it was before, anymore, you pay and just spend a lot of time in the game to open all the content. New players who buy battlepass will not have what we had in the first part, we are talking about originality, as mentioned above, different loot dropped out of containers to everyone. You can say, "You can buy the skin you want for your money, why are you complaining here", but buying skins for 1/3 of the price of the game you once bought, the skins you got in the first part because you play and open cases, NO thanks.

    Conclusion blizzard is a money-hungry company that replaced the game we once bought with a free, unambiguous garbage dump with pumping money out of players, the clown skin they gave to old players embodies them very well.

    P.s. Return the old game we paid for, let the trash lovers continue to play this parody.

    Nothing significant enough has been added or changed to the better to justify a re-release and about four years of original Overwatch release having almost no updates besides trying to force cybersports onto the playerbase.

    Highly marketed huge PVE campaign - the most compelling reason for a re-release of the game, has first been delayed, to not be delivered in a promised form. Instead, now we are looking at 15$ small mission packs with little to none replayability, no additional features such separate PvE character progression with a perk system etc.

    Though the whole point of releasing OW2 as it turned out was the introduction of predatory f2p monetization with a FOMO-inducing battle pass that not only includes cosmetics but limits access to new playable characters as well, and also an addition of premium cosmetics store with absurdly high prices. Even lootboxes from the first game don't look so bad in comparison to this.

    Updated character designs, made to reflect the changes that happened to them in a non-existent "story" that was going on in the background somewhere, were simply overloaded with unnecessary details, became less readable and lost their former charm.

    Not to mention that it was yet another botched launch of an ActiBlizz title with unstable server connection for every region and awfully long queues to enter the game, frequently reported issues with transferring progress from the first game, as well as questionable decisions, such as the need to bind a phone number in order to play.

    Overall, even if most of those things will be fixed eventually and the dev team somehow manages to ship meaningful content updates regularly (so far, it still doesn't look so good according to community feedback), I don't see why this game is worth anyone's time all things considered.

    Sure, the people voting 0 are technically abusing the system. But truthfully, any game thats this predatory, and this disgusting to its user base deserves it. From the battle pass, to the 5v5. especially the 5v5

    the game isnt overwatch anymore. its not about what they added, its the fact that the game fundamentally has lost its identity, and i truthfully believe anyone championing this

    the game isnt overwatch anymore. its not about what they added, its the fact that the game fundamentally has lost its identity, and i truthfully believe anyone championing this change never liked overwatch and simply wanted to play a generic shooting game. cause ow2 is a fine game when it comes to the core gameplay. if it wasnt called overwatch that is. but it is, and this is not the game i fell in love with.

    The problem being the game i fell in love is dead and has been replaced permanently. its depressing that ill never get to play it again.

    Endless queues, limitless greed, bugs, and the inability to play with friends anymore - this is what the current overwatch is.
    The battlepass system is terrible, you can't farm money for a new battlepass during the current one. Why? in CoD it is considered normal. All Blizzard is willing to give you is 60 credits per week. Why so much greed? You will have to save several months to be able

    Every evening it is impossible to enter the game. The company that produces World of Warcraft has no idea that when the game comes out, people want to play it?
    And the funniest thing. I played overwatch with my friends. One of them and I were able to enter the game and even play, while the rest were in queue. When they were able to get in, we found out that we can't play together as we have different versions of the game!! We spent 4 hours to find out that we have different versions of the same game and we can't play together!! Thank you Blizzard for destroying the game I loved.

    This is an unfortunate mess for the game. Servers are down huge queue times, and lots of microtransactions. What used to be a fun game and series has now dropped everything that made the game fun. One of the biggest parts of Overwatch was its loot boxes. Although I love the decision to remove loot boxes from the game, there is no longer any way to obtain cosmetics for free. A 3-year-old skin now costs about $20. For someone who bought the $100 dollar version of Overwatch 1 I no longer am able to unlock the skins previously in the game, no I have to buy them. There are no more levels, and credits are no longer obtainable. For owning Overwatch 1 you are given 2 skins that I will probably never use and you are able to use the new hero instantly. I think I should at least get the battle pass for free as well. You can however obtain the premium currency for free, but only 500 which is about $5 worth. This is not enough to buy the battlepass and this only encourages you to buy more credits. These are terrible mechanics to steal people's money. Blizzard does not need any more money, they are a 50 billion dollar company, please stop defending them. I have seen many people defend them online saying overwatch needs to make money to survive, they just put out diablo immortal and in the first 3 days they made over 100 million in sales.

    3 years of development and all they could do was strengthen the monetization system, make it more aggressive. In addition, a small indie company cannot allocate additional resources to servers so that people do not sit in queues for hours.

The graphics got a significant downgrade and looks like it was ripped straight from a mobile game. The redesigns for old characters are so bad they almost make me upset. The gameplay is the same. 5v5 is a useless change. The hero menu looks vapid and empty. The hero portraits are lifeless and the GUI is hideous. The game had one of the worst launches I have ever seen in my life, still being broke asl before Blizzard decided to release, resulting in them getting DDOSed twice. They won't respond to inquiries about linking old accounts with most of the cosmetics. I have a support ticket that has been ignored for 6 days. I won't even mention them requiring you to register your phone number and recording transcripts of every word you'll ever say in an Overwatch 2 match chat. Overwatch 2 took whatever good was left in Overwatch and stomped it into submission with the sole intention of preying on you and sucking money from you like a parasite. It's so ironic how Overwatch used to be a game beloved by everyone made my a fan-favorite company. Overwatch 2 is a vapid and emotionless shell of a game made by a company everyone hates. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overwatch 2 - показатель халатного отношения разработчиков не только к самой игре, но и игрокам. Я большой фанат этой франшизы, и только поэтому начну с плюсов. Добавление новых героев и карт, но опять же, это можно было сделать и в первом Overwatch. Улучшение графики. На этом всё.
    Перейдём к минусам.
    Как только мы заходим в Overwatch 2, нас встречает экран очереди. То есть, разработчики запланировали дату выпуска игры, удалили Overwatch 1, и не позаботились даже о стабильности и нагрузке серверов. Теперь чтобы поиграть в любимую игру, приходится ждать более часа. И то, если вам повезёт и вас не выбьет.
    Если вы все-таки переживете первый круг ада вместе с другими 2000 игроками в очереди, вы увидите «прекрасный» главный экран с кривым шрифтом, и лишними анимациями. Также убрали какую-либо анимацию похвал других игроков, ни звука, ни анимации, ничего. О балансе в этой игре даже говорить смысла нет, разработчики просто выпустили игру по дедлайну, абсолютно не готовую. Такое ощущение что выпустили не игру, а бета тест.

How incredibly money hungry is this rapidly declining, sorry excuse for a company? If you don't buy the BP, you pretty much get nothing to enjoy. Levels are gone, end cards are gone, everything that made OW fun has been removed and replaced with BP. Why play if you can't pay? There's no reason.

It's HALF of a new game, and they pushed it back, what? Three times? Four? Are we even still keeping count?

    That all brings me to tonight. I finally installed this game, went straight to a player queue, then to a friends list that doesn't work, and finally, NO GAMEPLAY BC IT'S SO BUGGED ONLY 2 DAYS AFTER RELEASE, THAT THEY HAVE TO SHUT DOWN ALL SERVERS FOR 3 HOURS.

    It's easy to said, from the moral high-ground, that if you don't like to play, you can uninstall. BUT many casual players are also 6 year players who stand for OW1 all the time. We have accumulation and memories of this game in 6 years, and you just let us get out of the way. STOP saying that competitive game focus on score rather than skins for Blizzard stupid policy and prices. Because [Improve the skill and get the higher score] does not conflict with [I want skins, I want to customize the in screen shots and be more beautiful].
    Just because you don't care about skins doesn't mean other people don't care. Just because you're an 6 year player with all skins doesn't mean those new players feel it doesn't matter when they have few rewards. The fk in rank and so-called skills you care about probably mean nothing to most usual players.

    Although I am have all skins but I won't be so selfish when considering the problem.

    Blizzard removed all the best parts of Overwatch 1. It takes 40-50 hours to unlock a single character, and you don’t even get basic characters like JUNKRAT for free? If you want a single character or skin be prepared to pay $20 minimum. To top it all off, the graphics are worse, 5 players instead of 6 leads to shorter and less fun matches.

    This game spits in the face of gamers and overwatch fans by showing Blizzard only cares about your money and not making the game good. Please don’t support it.

    Game play feels fresh and fun, but literally everything else has been a downgrade. A content patch should not be considered version 2.0 of the game, especially since core features like:

    1. Server stability (and being able to login) 2. Player progression (levels) 3. Players who previously paid for OW1 are no longer able to get content they paid for 4. A ton of maps are gone (people

    4. A ton of maps are gone (people complained about 2CP, but some of them were fun :( )
    5. idk a ton of things are gone so that Blizzard can charge us more money

    I was really excited about the game finally getting an update, but to call this a "sequel" is laughable. There aren't enough significant changes from OW1 to call it a sequel.

    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.
