    I have never seen a game be run into the ground so badly with poor decision making by developers. Quit at the start of the year and have not looked back. I have infinitely more fun on every other game I have tried in that span of time. Overwatch 2 is a hollow shell of a once great game. Do yourself a favor and uninstall. Play literally anything else. Go ride a bike as a matter of fact.

Also, if someone leaves good luck on winning. Once someone leaves 9 out of 10 times your getting to get rolled on. Unless you are a big time streamer and have friends to play with in your lobby, then don't even bother playing comp. Also, they took away PVE to promote their PVP which is garbage anyway.… Expand

    All of the negative comments and zero-rated reviews are completely valid if you played Overwatch 1.

    Firstly, the matchmaker is a disaster. In many matches the skill variance it accepts (in order to speed up the queues) is so wide that you could have middle to low ranked players in the same match as grandmasters, and this leads to fast and unfair one-sided stompfests. Add to this the    All of the negative comments and zero-rated reviews are completely valid if you played Overwatch 1.

    Firstly, the matchmaker is a disaster. In many matches the skill variance it accepts (in order to speed up the queues) is so wide that you could have middle to low ranked players in the same match as grandmasters, and this leads to fast and unfair one-sided stompfests. Add to this the players who give up early when they see they will get stomped, (by leaving, throwing, afking) and easily 50% of matches are not competitive or fair in some way, even if you are winning. Of the remaining 50%, expect frustrating gameplay because now there is only one tank, so all sort of counterplay and interesting things are removed once your lone tank dies. Some heroes are overtuned because there is just one tank to defend, such as how snipers are gods now and debuffers too strong against just 1 tank. Add to this the smurfs who are taking advantage of all this and destroying lower ranks and it's just so hard to find a fair, balanced, compelling match where you truly said "wow what a GG!". Match quality is just so bad that you can go 10 matches before truly saying that was a fun gameplay experience.

    Secondly, the monetization is just so offensive. In OW1, after buying the game, you could earn your skins and voice lines and other stuff randomly by playing and by participating in events. And smurfs had to rebuy the game in order to get a fresh start. In OW2, you have to pay for the battle pass EACH SEASON if you want to earn skins and cosmetics at a reasonable rate (some stuff is locked completely behind the battle passes). But now that the game is free-to-play, it's completely free for smurfs to create unlimited multiple accounts over and over again to keep stomping lower ranked players to oblivion. It's completely backwards. Let's not even begin about the deep issues with in-game shop where you pay for old or revamped skins, or very overpriced new ones.

    Thirdly, the entire reason for creating Overwatch 2 and sunsetting Overwatch 1 was to introduce a whole PvE structure, but that recently has been canceled entirely. The game will likely only have the occasional PvE mission in Arcade which we used to have. They're fun but that hardly qualifies as the huge PvE game we were promised. And one mode they released recently called Starwatch was just as awful respawn simulator for the team on offense, literally. While this issue is invisible to new players, it just shows how Blizzard pulled the rug from under existing players to focus on the more lucrative monetization (it was said that was part of the decision - that PvE won't make money like the shop for PvP does).

    If you're new, it's likely you'll be steamrolled repeatedly by smurfs in most of your matches. By the time you get to middle ranks, there will be lots of leavers and throwers who give up at the first sign of trouble. At high ranks you need to be in a group or you'll get crushed by organized hit squads of hardcore players queueing together. In Quick Play and Arcade modes where ranks are much broader in matchmaking, your match outcome is pretty much decided at setup by the matchmaker based on who has the new players vs who has the experienced players.

    I'm giving this game a 2 just to be fair, as it is a smooth running game with great graphics, good maps and cool heroes, and because someone who is new to the game might have some fun for a while. However, it is a huge step down from Overwatch 1 in terms of features, match quality and overall "fun" factor. And every season (each is about 7 weeks) the bad parts about it somehow just keep getting much worse. Match quality is so bad right now and queue times are going up for middle ranks, especially in the arcade, as many players are leaving.

    If you're new, give it a try - it's free. But I am confident you'll grow out of it after a couple of weeks and pick one of the many other games that are hot right now. If you're returning from OW1, you will be greatly disappointed in OW2.    … Expand

    The company behind Overwatch 2 has taken all the heart and soul of the original Overwatch, smashed it up and chucked it into the trash. They then proceed to replace the soul of Overwatch with pure corporate greed with the inclusion of an overpriced cash shop and crappy battle pass.

    Unfortunately, OW2 lacks substantial new content and instead presents downgrades and unfulfilled promises.

    Unfortunately, OW2 lacks substantial new content and instead presents downgrades and unfulfilled promises. We have lost features like the 'on-fire' system, end-of-game cards, rank icons, portraits, and a fair progression system. Furthermore, the game is plagued with numerous bugs, with each patch introducing new game-breaking issues. Blizzard claims to fix the matchmaking regularly, but as a Diamond player, I have still been matched with top 100 players in Europe.

    Don't get me wrong, the new additions in Overwatch 2 are impressive. I appreciate the introduction of new heroes, maps, and game modes. However, these features should not come at the cost of compromising the integrity of the game by removing progression systems and other game modes.

    One aspect I was genuinely excited about was the introduction of PvE game modes. The idea of leveling up heroes and battling robots across different locations in the world held great potential, especially considering Blizzard's expertise with games like WoW and Diablo.

    Unfortunately, they decided to cancel the primary selling point of the "2" and instead divide the remaining campaign content into a battle pass. This demonstrates a severe disconnect between the company and its fans. I urge anyone who shares this sentiment to refrain from supporting the game.

    Regrettably, there will always be naive players who continue to purchase $20 skins, enabling this exploitative practice to thrive. As long as this continues, for me, there is no hope for the future of this franchise.    … Expand

    What is new?
    - Five new heroes. Had OW1 development not been halted, there would be nine by now.
    - Heroes now have to be unlocked... in a game where hero choice is like rock-paper-scissors. Hope you like grinding for dozens of hours just to not be at a disadvantage (or you could just PAY MONEY).
    - A premium currency, unobtainable in useable quantities by playing the game. But you can just PAY MONEY to get some.
    - Higher prices. Not only do legacy items cost more than they used to, some are now premium items! Meaning they can only be unlocked if you PAY MONEY
    - Removal of unpaid rewards for playing... y'know, because what's the point of unlocking stuff if you don't have to PAY MONEY
    - A Battle Pass! This is the only good new feature... is what I would say if this wasn't the single worst battle pass in the entire gaming industry. Zero credit returns for completing the pass (only game I know of that doesn't), new heroes are locked behind the premium tiers, and only 80 tiers (fewest tiers of any game I know of). You will have to PAY MONEY every season to remain competitive.
    - Removal of skill based matchmaking in quick-play. Don't want to try hard in competitive mode? Just get stomped by players three times your skill level in casual mode!
    - Removal of "looking for group" page. Because imagine the horror of being able to find competent, good, or fun teammates. Nope, a new set of random toxic strangers every match is the only way this game is meant to be played.
    - THE PvE MODE, THE VERY REASON THIS "SEQUEL" EXISTS! If you were thrilled for a fully fledged campaign mode like the limited archives events in OW1, boy do I have news for you! It's canceled...
    At least you can still play the legacy archives content once a year! No wait, the legacy content has been canceled too... Thanks Blizzard!

    Alright, enough of the sarcasm. Overall, this game is still fun to play (at least not competitively). The core gameplay is hardly changed from OW1, with the main difference being 5v5 instead of 6v6 teams. I won't argue that this change is better or worse, it's just slightly different. So why is this game 0/10 in my opinion? Because doing literally nothing would've been better than releasing this "sequel", as Overwatch 1 is no longer available following this game's release. It is a cash grab, and an insult to all of the players that supported this game and Blizzard through the last 7 years. This was the game that got me into PC gaming, and that game no longer exists. Only a shell of its former self.    … Expand

    This generation's greatest bait-and-switch, Overwatch 2 has recently been revealed to be all it ever truly was: a corporate grift to replace a hugely successful game with a cash shop. The game's developers continue to defend its existence primarily on the promise of future content: as such, the history of such promises is essential to weighing the value of its present and future.This generation's greatest bait-and-switch, Overwatch 2 has recently been revealed to be all it ever truly was: a corporate grift to replace a hugely successful game with a cash shop. The game's developers continue to defend its existence primarily on the promise of future content: as such, the history of such promises is essential to weighing the value of its present and future.

    Revealed in 2019 as a massive single-player campaign with story and character progression, OW2's development resulted in a massive content desert for OW1: Full years without maps, new heroes, or events, as even new skins dried up to a handful of literal recolors for the 2022 events.

    A full year before OW2's release, the team was fully aware that they would not be delivering the project they had promised; however, the game continued to be described, marketed, and sold, under a lie of omission, with the truth finally squeaking out seven months post-launch, some thirty minutes into a completely unrelated developer podcast.

    In the absence of that vision, Overwatch 2 is in every way inferior to its predecessor: more maps removed than added; a new 5v5 matchup that continues to be severely dysregulated, with entire heroes built around roles they can no longer perform; a new mode held by the player base as the worst available to the point of crushing the soul of comp play; a laundry list of changes that players find worse than what they replaced; and of course, the surgical removal of free-play unlocking of content, so precise that only now, months later, could a F2P player afford their *first* legendary skin for a single character.

    The most functional facet of the game at launch was the cash shop, and by "functional" i mean "would purchase things you didn't intend to purchase, no refunds." What was once a transaction model that would allow even a casual player to unlock everything (I was one such player) now places nearly everything behind minimum $20 purchases. Much of the "content" being released includes tokens most players never use, and has been churned out so fast that recolors have been sold as Legendaries (when "recolor with small modifications" was the definition of Epic), and a recent Battle Pass included a Junker Queen highlight intro that would make a second-year animation student blush in secondhand embarrassment.

    The content of OW1 stopped for the story mode of OW2, but that mode isn't coming. The content drops of OW2 barely match the content of OW1 during its brightest days, and even that means "a new mode sometimes that you'll play for 10 minutes." The roadmap brought forth as apologia for the announcement does its best to sound grand and vague, but look where promises have brought anyone who supported this game: empty-handed. There is zero precedent, between OW1, OW2's promotion, and the first four seasons of the Battle Pass, to believe that anything will improve materially from the present state.

    Dedicated players lost years of content updates and actively contributed to padding Actiblizz's player base and pocketbooks, in service of a lie the company knew was a lie a year before release, yet still maintained. To take part in this rug-pull is to encourage the company responsible to maintain lies and deception; to reject the game wholesale is to actively tell those responsible that deceptive business practices have consequences.

    To that end, I cannot grant a single point in favor of this project. It is an inferior version of what came before, but more importantly, it is a question from Activision Blizzard: Are you willing to put up with this?

    No. I'm not.    … Expand

    This game has deceived its community in the most brazen way. Let's start in order.

    1. PvE In 2019, at BlizzCon, Jeff Kaplan announced Overwatch 2, he said that it would be a leap into a new generation, that it would be a legendary game, and for the sake of its development, Overwatch 1 would completely stop receiving new content, and all forces would be thrown at the implementation of a    This game has deceived its community in the most brazen way. Let's start in order.

    1. PvE
    In 2019, at BlizzCon, Jeff Kaplan announced Overwatch 2, he said that it would be a leap into a new generation, that it would be a legendary game, and for the sake of its development, Overwatch 1 would completely stop receiving new content, and all forces would be thrown at the implementation of a new game. The community of the game then agreed, because what was there to worry about? Part 1 steadily received new heroes, maps, cinematics, and everyone was sure that our favorite campaign would not let us down. Here in this waiting mode of a great game, with talents for heroes, cool cutscenes, a shallow plot, replayable dynamic PvE on a huge world map that is constantly being updated. 19,20 and 21 years have passed in this standby mode. And now, in the 22nd year, Overwatch 2 is finally announced to us. However, the players were upset as quickly as they were happy, because this is not a masterpiece promised to them, but only an update of the first part, with some balanced edits, several new heroes, etc. Nothing comparable to promises. But the new game director of the game, Aaron Keller, promises that everything will still be, just not now. "Dear players, development is getting more expensive, buy a battle pass, we need money to finish the very game that we promised you" - this is how many players perceived the release of Overwatch 2 in the first part. But nevertheless, there was hope and faith in the "Great Blizzard", which, yes, did not calculate its strength, but all the same, now we will give her some more money, and she will fulfill all her promises. What happened in the end? On May 16, 2023, Aaron Keller announced that PvE was being canceled. And we will only get story missions, like those that we already received for the archive event in the first part. What can I say here, Blizzard publicly signed her incapacity. For 3 years, this campaign did not do anything for overwatch, they just had a huge amount of free time, which they apparently spent just sitting in their luxurious offices and drinking coffee. Or, another "effective manager" broke into the studio and said that no one needs PvE, immediately do a free dump like Fortnite or apex, so that with a battle pass, donat cosmetics, and so on. Here we actually go to the second point.

    2. Monetization
    When overwatch came out, it was a premium game, it cost 2000rubles, and in return offered a complete absence of Pay-to-Win elements that are always present in free projects. And now, after 6 years, half of which the game was completely devoid of content, the developers suddenly announce that the game will be free. And as compensation for those who bought it for the full price tag, Blizzard will give 2 epic looks, for the fist of death, "General", and for sombra, "Fool", and the second look clearly made it clear for whom Blizzard keeps people who pay her money. And so, overwatch became free, a battle pass appeared in it, all skins became paid and cost just cosmic money, 2000rubles for 1 legendary skin, 700 rubles for an epic one. The game has turned from a primal, high-quality game from the famous blizzard, into another free dump, since in addition to donating, pay-to-win elements have also appeared in the game, namely, now new heroes are not opened at all at once, but after pumping out the 55 level of the battle pass, or buying its primal version which in itself is already absolutely unacceptable for a game for which many people gave their hard-earned money. Of course, overwatch 1 also had monetization, the same loot boxes, but they could be received for free, in a huge amount, in an hour you could get 1-2, and sometimes 3 loot boxes, just by playing the game. And in overwatch 2, in order to "play the game" to save up for a battle pass, you need to spend 17 weeks, for the sake of 8 legends and 1 mythical skin.

    In conclusion, I want to say that you should not believe this terrible office called “Blizzard”, in no case do not bring money there, and do not support their terrible monetization. Only by depriving them of money, you can achieve changes.

    I've been playing overwatch since 2018, 400 hours.    … Expand

    A Regressive Sequel That Fails its Fans

    Overwatch 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved multiplayer shooter, falls disappointingly short of its predecessor. Lack of progression, disregard for its customers, and the troubling decision to withhold promised PVE content, while keeping the community in the dark. Regression, not Progression: Overwatch 2 fails to build upon the    A Regressive Sequel That Fails its Fans

    Overwatch 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved multiplayer shooter, falls disappointingly short of its predecessor. Lack of progression, disregard for its customers, and the troubling decision to withhold promised PVE content, while keeping the community in the dark.

    Regression, not Progression:
    Overwatch 2 fails to build upon the success of the original game, offering little in terms of innovation or meaningful changes (well other then new shop and battle pass). It feels more like an incremental update rather than a true sequel, lacking the necessary advancements to justify its existence.

    Zero Respect for Customers:
    The developers of Overwatch 2 have shown a concerning lack of respect for their dedicated fanbase (several times). From poor communication to a lack of substantial content, it seems as though customer satisfaction is not and never was a priority.

    Concealed Cancelation of PVE Content:
    One of the major attractions of Overwatch 2 was its promised PVE content. However, the developers knew well in advance that this feature would not be available, yet kept the community in the dark ! This deliberate omission further erodes trust and diminishes the game's credibility.

    In conclusion, Overwatch 2 fails to deliver on its promises and falls short of the expectations set by its predecessor. The lack of progression, coupled with a disregard for customer satisfaction and the concealed cancelation of PVE content, taints the game's and company's reputation even further. It is disheartening to witness a sequel that fails to live up to its potential and leaves loyal fans feeling betrayed and broken.    … Expand

I doubt they had any intention of releasing any of the PVE content to begin with and the pathetic excuse of "loosing focus" is just insulting to the fans when you follow that up with "so we are left with another difficult choice do we continue to pour all that effort into PVE eerr umm hoping we can land it at some point in the future, Or do we stick with this set of VALUES we have aligned on and focus on the live game and focus on serving all of you" Bro just had a Freudian slip he is literally telling the players we had to pick between trash battlepass and optimization of live service and the actual content that you are looking forward to....HOW IS THAT A DIFFICULT CHOICE. Blizzard deserves every bit of flack they are getting and much more for insulting there fans Overwatch 2 is going to die a slow painful death as they try to monetize the corpse of a 7 year old game… Expand

    Overwatch 2 is a cash grab game made only to introduce abysmal battle pass and payed skins. It is a very bad non-update for a base game that already had enough problems. The developers clearly don't care about the fans or the quality of their product. They just want to milk the franchise for as long as possible. Overwatch 2 is a waste of time and money.

    Blizzard killed the original Overwatch, one of my all time favorite games. in pursuit of a story driven coop campaign sequel but did not have it ready for launch. Then a year later came out and said they aren't going to deliver on what they promised. What a scummy thing to do. OW did not need to die for this.

    PVE being removed is a rug pull essentially because people spent money on the game (the micro-transactions and different editions, I know the game itself is free) in anticipation of the PVE.

New support that just came out (Lifeweaver) should be in alpha testing and not a full release hero. 5v5 was an utter disaster, everyone thought it would make the game more balanced and casual friendly but it had the exact opposite affect. The game is extremely poorly balanced because before you would have a second tank to help maintain space and mitigate dps effectiveness. Now if a dps gets on a high ground with a pocket you basically have to split the sea in half to get them off.… Expand

    The whole gimmick for this game coming out was the PvE, that was the reason it's Overwatch 2 and not an update. So after 4 years the game is released in a half baked state and now PvE gets cancelled. What is the **** point? What has happened to gaming that this is what devs are able to pull this bs?

It´s still Overwatch 1 but with less content and now the only thing they promised that would justify the "sequel" was now scrapped. Yeah they totally scrapped the PVE content - this was just a corporate decision cause that would not get enough revenue and they knew that even before OW 2 was released but decided to not say a thing.

    I think the game itself is great, but what the sequel brings, is the worst in video game history. They stopped updating the game for years, made you pay for skins, and made it difficult to unlock heroes unless you pay for them.

    On top that they basically scrapped most of the PvE stuff they planned, so there is literally no point in calling this a sequel for marketing purposes.

The issue is the malpractice and scammy/scummy attitude that Blizzard has towards its players. To void my purchase of overwatch in the name of a sequel that promised substantial PVE content, to then scrap the whole thing and leave us with the same game minus a ton of features, with the addition a ridiculously priced cosmetics store and a half assed battlepass is beyond anti consumer. I don’t know what’s going on with blizzard but to be honest I don’t care to find out. What i know for a fact is that you cannot invest in any of their games, if you want to play them for free go ahead, but my advice would be to not buy cosmetics, battlepass, etc because they can kill a game with no warning. It happened with Heroes of the Storm, it happened with Hearthstone Mercenaries, and now it’s happening to Overwatch. As consumers we deserve better.… 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.
