    The state of this game is an absolute joke. They ruined it by trying to make it fast-paced. You have to be extremely lucky to get good tanks to win now. The new game mode is trash and not fun at all. I really hope this game dies off or they fix how greedy they are.

    I must say, as a 1.6k hour ow1 player, ow2 is the worst combination of what I expected. Unless you are 5 stacks, you will always have a teammate that does nothing the entire game. That could be because my hidden MMR was too high in ow1. I keep getting new players in my team which ruins every single game. Blizzard can easily solve this by adding a newcomer player list.

    how does one ruin a game this much, like what? I played Overwatch for a long time, but the servers are awful, they somehow messed up the aiming. Everything feels floaty it all sucks. I logged in today and half my characters were locked, characters I've already played in Overwatch 2. Like how is that even possible to screw up that badly???

    OW1 was ended so you couldn't play the old game when people found out OW2 is awful.

    Everything just felt like "adjustments" then you don't get any way to get coins at all now. They are just money hungry and want to get a battle pass and play going thru the the battle pass is slow. It's like their trying to be awful on purpose.

    Game is unplayable, mainly because of an issue where the game is booting me after every earned achievement. How can releasing a "sequel" that nothing changed in only break more things? Won't be playing again until the achievement issue is fixed.

    0/10 because they took a game I paid for and played everyday and completely replaced it with something that crashes every time I get into a match. I literally own a game I can't play that replaced the game I loved. Years of $$$ and cosmetics down the drain.

Blizzard is a reputable company that continues to make indie developer game mistakes.

    I played Overwatch since it's original launch. It was vastly superior to it's "sequel" in nearly every way. The game had more flair, teamwork was more interesting, there was more time to work with your team, and a million-and-one little details made the experience fun. Overwatch 2 feels like a beta, still. It's missing so much. If that were the only issue, the game would be playable.I played Overwatch since it's original launch. It was vastly superior to it's "sequel" in nearly every way.

Most people in the world (not hyperbole, it's affecting everyone) at the moment suddenly got locked out of almost the entire roster of heroes. Two heroes have been removed from play because of grossly abusable bugs that are affecting gameplay. There are login queues, of all things. Blizzard use to be a big deal because they made the best games, bar none. Now they're a big deal because of how far they've fallen.

To top it all off, even if your expectation was just to simply play the same characters you enjoyed you will be sorely disappointed! I un-installed the old one shortly before 2 launched (didn't know if it'd just update or not) and downloaded 2 only to find that literally over HALF of the characters were locked and needed to be unlocked by battlepass. This game is a shell of what it used to be, and it's been going downhill for a loooooonng time. Don't listen to critics, as you probably know they're notoriously bad in this industry.

    2. The new monetization scheme is absolutely horrendous for both new and old players. I mean $20 for a skin that came out 6 years ago and was free with the original OW credits, are you serious? This part feels like a sick joke to us original players and is just flat out disrespectful. The battle pass is also terrible but I’ll get into that.

    3. Terrible battle pass system that rewards players for paying and gives the people who don’t pay practically nothing for playing the game. I understand it’s a F2P game and skins shouldn’t be why people play, but it’s just dumb to force people to pay for the battle pass if the want to earn anything interesting especially since most of us have already bought OW.

    4. Extremely buggy and terrible launch. I don’t even need to go into detail for this one.

    5. Lack of anything new, yes they may have updated UI, added some new heroes and maps, reworked 6v6 into 5v5, and made changes to existing heroes, but why does this need to be an entirely “new” game? It feels like the same game to me aside from balancing certain things out but honestly the UI is a complete downgrade for me.

    6. Lack of new skins and content, I understand that this is more of a nitpick but like why is a skin $20 when it is basically just a re olor of the default skin? This if for multiple heroes too. 7. Still requiring specific phone numbers for new users. This is stupid. I don’t even know what else to say I feel like I could go on and on but what’s the point. Blizzard won’t listen to me or anyone else because they are a selfish and greedy company that views their fans as nothing more than consumers (which most are).

    Blizzard removed all the features that made OW unique and what people like. Bugs are everywhere and most characters were nearly unchanged even with the transition from 6v6 to 5v5. And the change of 6v6 to 5v5 was a questionable move itself.

I'm not gonna pay 1/3 of the price of Overwatch 1 FOR ONE LEGENDARY SKIN in a game that has over a 100 of them!!??!! The legendary skins should be maximum of 2$ a pop and not even a cent more and we should have a currency that we can earn by just playing the game to buy the epic skins for free! Blizzard you can still sell your bundles and legendary skins but please 20$ for a single skin is just outrageous.

    Now "Watchpoint pack" i paid 40$ to get a battle pass and 2000 points so basically 1 legendary skin, meanwhile some games who ask for that price give you multiple seasons of battlepass and bunch of more goodies, I hear what you are gonna say "BUT YOU GET OW1 and ITS SKINS WITH IT" I ALREADY HAVE IT BLIZZARD, i had the game of the year edition before, ive had all these skins already and guess what i cant even play overwatch 1 a way better game than what we have right now with ow2. And the biggest blunder of this pack is that it doesnt even guarantee you access to ow2 pve in 2023, they will probably charge us 60$ on top of this for that game mode which was supposed to be the entire point of the overwatch 2 in the first place.

    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.

    The result of six years of work on the balance is the reduction of the team by one player.

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.

    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.

It’s taken away all depth, synergy and need for tactics and I really didn’t expect it to. 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

    By far the slimiest, repulsive, greedy, reprehensible company of 2022. I've never seen a game so downgraded, microtransaction based (pay to win), and trash for a sequel.

    This game is not a game. It's a cash grab. Go play something else instead of playing this pathetic excuse for a game.

    Severely broken hero balance and really bad monetization. They killed my favorite game and propped up its corpse for people to throw quarters at.

    Servers dont work or disconnect easily and you dont get access to all heroes and the whole mandatory voice recording during play is creepy

    I owned overwatch 1. Paid for game. They deleted it for this much inferior version. I just wanna play mystery heroes man. They **** removed my favorite mode. 90% of the games I played were in mystery heroes. You know, the mode that has always existed in the game I paid for? it's gone now. This is literal theft.
    Also they wanted my phone number.

    Monetization is ruining the game. Servers are awful, many heroes need adjustments. Awful launch, hopefully blizzard gets their **** together otherwise they’ll have a dead game on their hands before it even fully releases

    unfinished, buggy, and a terrible launch.

    To its credit, the only thing polished is the battle pass so we can spend more money.

    For a game that's been "years in the making", it seems like almost everything has taken a step back. They keep saying it's a new game, but aside from removing a tank and adding a couple of maps (while taking away a few as well), it doesn't feel like a new game nor even a breath of fresh air... It's just Overwatch but with monetization...

It's just Overwatch but with monetization...

    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.

    The gameplay feels vastly inferior because healers are easily killed by flankers. Whole game even with godtier tank healers is decided by dps.
    Many dps like soujorn and sombra are insanely overpowered at this point in time.
    The biggest issue however is the predatory micro transactions. the battle pass isn't really rewarding for free players cuz who cares, srsly, about icons and sprays.

    There's also temporary 20 euro bundles that last 6 days and if you don't buy them, you will wait litteraly forever for it to come back.
    Overwatch 1 was such a amazing game and overwatch 2 is just so many steps down.

    To further add, on ow1 you could earn skins on lootboxes and earn credits. it was pretty nice.
    NOW in overwatch 2 they bring OLDDDD event skins and sell them to players for 20 euros.
    It's silly at this point, they are selling SUMMER ASH on HALLOWEEN time.

    It's beyond pathetic how we play for 1 week do all the challenges and only gain 60 coins for skins that cost 1900, granted the best skins are 20 euro and stuck behind a shop.
    Yeah play 33 weeks to buy a skin. when 90% of them are stuck behind paywalls. (edit, probably 100% every new skin has been paid walled.)

    4 years working on overwatch 2 and betas and this garbage that doesn't even show characters are on fire, or medals, or anything that made ppl feel good while playing ow1. is what they have to show for it.

    I was playing overwatch 1 at 140 fps it dropped sometimes to 90. Overwatch 2 i play at 50 fps and drops to 10 constnatly, the performance IS GARBAGE    … Expand

    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.

    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.
