Oct 8, 2022Nothing like the original, free but more expensive in the long run. Made to be a game for eSports, not so much the rest of us.
-
Oct 8, 2022don t waste your time it's bad just bad
idk how it became so bad after becoming free
you better off playing paladins -
Oct 8, 2022Well, f me. Overwatch 1 was good. But man how call they call this 2? It's like maximum 1.1. The heroes that were perfectly balanced were changed for a reason nobody ones. GOOFY AH GAME

Oct 8, 2022I don't like the game balance. It is greatly changed whenever the new character is added. The game turned into a clowning with many stupid looks of characters :(
-
Oct 8, 2022Overwatch 1 but take out all the fun stuff and replace it with every money hungry practice you could possibly have in a mobile game

Oct 8, 2022Its almost the same game but they still managed to make it worse by removing loot boxes in favour of a massively expensive item shop and battle pass, making the game 5v5 and adding barely any content after years. the only reason im giving it a 1 and not a 0 is because its f2p and i can play with my imaginary friends

Oct 8, 2022It took 3 years to make 5 vs 5 fights, remove free lootboxes and add a battle pass. Save your nerves and money. This patch is just a waste of time.
-
Oct 8, 2022They call it a new game, Overwatch 2, but what is new?
1. Donate too much money.
2. Battle pass.
3. Day/night map.
4. 3 new heroes.
So why is this a new game?
Dead balance in game, why should i buy skins from overwatch to overwatch 2 with real money, it is now impossible to see the levels of players in a match. -

Oct 8, 2022Заплатил за первую часть в прошлом, чтобы не смог запустить вторую в будущем.
-
Oct 8, 2022Previously earned in-game currency disappears and resets to 0 and some previously purchased skins are also removed.
-
Oct 8, 2022Way too much for old trash skins. Ridiculous to require phone number that you then give to third parties
-
Oct 8, 2022My mom is dead after playng this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Oct 8, 2022I miss Overwatch Origins. I paid $60 for it, it was my favourite game, I played almost every single day. I hate that it's been taken over by Overwatch 2 and it's just gone now. It should have been sold as a separate game, or they could have kept it free and left the original alone. Unless they bring it back, I may end up with more space on my Xbox.
-
Oct 8, 2022Not as bad as people say it is. It's basically the same formula as Overwatch 1 but for free.
-
Oct 8, 2022Worse game release baser on reviews ever? Don’t even dare to play it although I liked Overwatch I.
-
Oct 8, 2022
-
Oct 8, 2022Its not Overwatch 2, its Overwatch 1.1 xD Well, Team Fortress 2 and Paladins better now. Nice work, Blizzard.
-
Oct 8, 2022They've changed to micro transactions.. Enough said. This is unfair to the original buy to play set up from OW1
-
Oct 8, 2022Failed launch. Deaf customer support. Not a second version but a bad update. Should be called OW1.5 Horrible cash grab.
By a crappy company. -
Oct 8, 2022Skins can now only be bought ($) or earned through the god forsaken battle pass. If they wanted to move to a battle pass, they should've done it before people got burned out on the monetization scheme. No longer will I allow myself to be guilted into playing a game out of Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO). At this moment, the game is not worth supporting because of the predatory monetization practices.
-
Oct 8, 2022Its my first time in overwatch and i don't care if its the same game, the game is so much fun!
-
Oct 8, 2022
-
Oct 8, 2022Don't understand why me who bought OW1 now can't play it and should pay for new heroes in this OW2. Why its free now? Where is OW1? Give me back my money you scummers!!!
-
Oct 8, 2022
-
Oct 8, 2022Being parasitic on overwatch 1, game is completely **** especially after becoming free-to-play
-
Oct 8, 2022I give the game 1-2 years for shutdown, no way it lasts longer. Just a bad version of Overwatch 1.
-
Oct 8, 2022congratulations to those involved for putting in SMS login on the game launch day, my account is very old and I've been asking for support since the 4th/10th and nobody helps me
there was an update to remove but it did not solve anything -
Oct 8, 2022
-
Oct 8, 2022OW1 was a really good game that felt fun and balanced. OW2 is somehow an "update" that removes these two features. Add on countless bugs, stupid gameplay choices, and terrible matchmaking This game feels like a freaking pre-alpha build, not a "final product". Also scummy monetization drains what little fun this game does have.

Oct 8, 2022The changes are not enough to be a DLC, but Blizzard calls it a new game, what ****
Everything in gameplay is actually unchanged.
Blizzard introduced the battle pass to the game, so you can better spend your money and time to unlock some stupid skins.
And at this moment, the game balance is a real issue. Tank heroes are too OP.
OW2 is definitely the joke of the year! -
Oct 8, 2022Is Blizzard drunk or on drugs? What are they thinking? Same balancing problems, same greed, heck, same game as Overwatch 1 essentially. This is Overwatch 1.2.
-
Oct 8, 2022игра от пидарасов для хуесосов, игра полна токсиков и гениев, считающих выигранные матч, за достижение всей жизни

Oct 8, 2022Овер стал фортнайтом. Появился бп и магазин, крч Овер 2 стал донатной помойкой.
Overwatch became fortnite. Appeared battle pass and shop, in short Overwatch 2 became rubbish heap. -
Oct 8, 2022It'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.

-
Oct 8, 2022Ein normales Update hätte es auch getan. 3 Helden und 5 Maps machen aus OW1 kein neues Spiel daraus.
Es ging Blizzard nur darum die leicht zu erspielbaren Lootboxen zu entfernen und einen pseudo Battle Pass, Premium Battle Pass und Skinskäufe hinzuzufügen. Das ist das, was Overwatch 2 ausmacht. -
Oct 8, 2022It's bad enough they make you jump through hoops that nobody else does, but I cant play with my phone number being pre paid. What happened to just starting a game and playing it? All my info is already linked to my console account. Just use that?
-
Oct 8, 2022Would have been much better if they just made overwatch free and deleted one tank, but blizzard wants to milk all their playerbase. Shame on them.
-
Oct 8, 2022Не доступна в России. Нельзя даже добавить в избранное. Но говорят это к лучшему, лучше не видеть ЭТО)
-
Oct 8, 2022Blizzard you are in the end how short of money ah, the pass is not a little too disgusting people?!?!?! Even you guys in order to make money, actually 10 euros a skin ????
-
Oct 8, 2022I know just one thing, I bought and paid for the game, and now I have nothing. Overwatch doesn't exist anymore. This behavior has just a name: scam!
-
Oct 8, 2022I wouldn't really call it a new game, more like a huge patch.
But overall it's still really fun and the fact that you have to pay for skins now really doesn't bother me at all. Almost all FPS shooters are doing that. Same with the hero unlocks.
Still a great game and i would highly recommend it. -
Oct 8, 2022SHAME ON YOU FOR DELETING OUR GAME AND REPLACING IT WITH THIS UNBALANCED MICRO-TRANSACTION GARBAGE.

Oct 8, 2022Game should be called Overwatch 2.1. Not enough content to be an upgrade. Game is same as 1 but free to play.
-

-
Oct 8, 20221. Points for which I could buy skins are now useless.
2. They opened all my chests 550 pieces, and apart from the coins (which are now useless) I got nothing...Bravo.
3. Donat.
4. There were no updates for 2 years in overwatch, now updates for 2 years "new game" -
Oct 8, 2022I have about 2000 hours of OW1. This isn't a sequel. It's a monetization overhaul marketed as a sequel. It's a blatant cash grab by a garbage company wearing the shell of the now-dead Blizzard. Don't even bother downloading it. Even if it's free, it's more than you can afford.

Oct 8, 2022This game is a mess. A product resultant of horrid leadership and greed. They took Overwatch 1 and demolished it with this “sequel.” It feels more like a patch and a ploy to milk consumers’ wallets. Blizzard has gone further down the drain. Just look how horrible Diablo Immortal reviews are. I wouldn’t be surprised if they butcher Diablo 4 as well ¯_(ツ)_/¯
-
Oct 8, 2022They took a game that I already paid for, deleted it, forced me to download a different game, and that game now crashes about 3 minutes into every match, and is therefore unplayable. If that's not a kick in the balls, I don't know what is.
-
Oct 8, 2022Pre ordered ow1 deluxe edition the second it went up for sale, bought 99.50% ever released, bought the game both on PS4 and switch as long with pc, now i need to pay 7 dollars FOR A SPRAY, THIS IS THE MOST SHAMELESS A GAME HAS EVER BEEN AND IM SO SORRY TO HAVE SUPPORTED BLIZZARD AND PLAY THEIR GAMES FOR SO LONG, MICROS ARE A DISGRACE AND GRINDING IS A JOKE
-
Oct 8, 2022this game is not overwatch. this is stagnant water. newbie is can't survival.
-
Oct 8, 2022Good improvement on the pvp of overwatch. Sadly it has been plagued with some launch problems like being ddosed and more but the experience in game is amazing. Can't wait for pve to launch in 2023

Oct 8, 2022It isn't worth to name it Overwatch 2. It's like a big update, not a new game or something similar. But for everyone who liked before, could be still like it. It's just Overwatch 1 with an update.

Oct 8, 2022Ngl the new 5v5 comp is actually enjoyable and the ping system makes it easier to communicate with your team by marking spots/enemies. Overall the game is cool and awesome, don't get it why people cry like they expected something more from this game.

Oct 10, 2023Overwatch 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.
-
Dec 13, 2022While 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.
-
Nov 16, 2022Overwatch 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.
