    From really good game to money making garbage. Blizzard just continues to suck all of your money with the lowest effort possible.

    Horrible. Es casi imposible encontrar una partida decente siempre es humillar o ser humillando, no importa que juegues competitivo, rápida o arcade. Los único que hace Blizzard es sacar un montón de skins que no aportan nada al gameplay. Después de 2 temporadas y media esperando a que cambie, estoy completamente decepcionado y arto del juego. No pierdan su tiempo y mucho menos su dinero en el.

    The absolute worst game of all time, the devs desreve to be homeless if im being honest. Literally had the best game ever created and continuosly neglected it and slowly killed it. Literally out 100 decisions they made 100 incorrect decisions.

    A game that should have never been made. It is an absolute atrocity to call this Overwatch 2. It is not even Overwatch 1.2. No pve, 80 euro skins, a dumb battlepass. It is a pure moneygrab. Also one would only play ranked if they hate themselves. Such a pity I loved overwatch 1 but this 'game' made me uninstall and never turn back. I wish overwatch 1 was still around.

    This game is a broken mess and it can't be salvaged. Every new patch released, claiming to solve problems only creates others. Artificially boosting and tanking player's ranks, poor matchmaking, allowing for rank disparities that are not possible to queue with if within the same party, and then after all of that, servers are still inconsistent and players often lag out or are disconnectedThis game is a broken mess and it can't be salvaged. Every new patch released, claiming to solve problems only creates others. Artificially boosting and tanking player's ranks, poor matchmaking, allowing for rank disparities that are not possible to queue with if within the same party, and then after all of that, servers are still inconsistent and players often lag out or are disconnected without warning. These are only the technical problems. In game, characters that are blatantly over powered are not balanced properly and when the mid season patch rolls around to change the meta again, these characters are often untouched with others receiving little needed nerfs to their kits, further limiting the pool of heroes able to be viably chosen. Games are almost never close, they are complete steamrolls due to the poor matchmaking and often players will queue up and be thrown into a game high above their elo that they have absolutely no chance of participating in, let alone winning. In a Masters and Diamond lobby, there are many times where I've seen Gold and Platinum players, where as if I were to attempt to queue with a friend of that rank, the rank disparity would be too wide to be able to queue for a ranked game. It shouldn't be possible for this to happen but it does fairly often and it has not been fixed even in the Season 4 patch. Every game feels like a gamble, and with little solo carry potential, given the team based nature of the game, it is almost impossible to climb in solo queue without immense luck. After ending Season 2 at the Diamond 2 rank, ranking up to that division the night before the new season, I logged on the next day to see my rank at Gold 3. I spent the majority of the season solo queuing, as friends accounts were not dropped as low as mine, despite similar games played and consistency in play. After climbing to Grandmaster 4 during Season 3 and ending in Masters, I questioned what the reason was for my rank being lowered in the first place. There is no answer though, there never is from Blizzard, they focus their efforts on cosmetics, that were formerly free but now are behind a paywall, as well as new maps for you to lose your mental on. The core problems with the game are never addressed. A patch will release boasting a fairly decent change, only to absolutely break another part of the game without even attempting to change that system. A hero may not be working correctly, so a small tweak is made to change it to the way it was intended, but in the meantime, Blizzard forgot to mention that now you will be playing on higher ping servers for some reason and you can barely matchmake in your region.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Blizzard/Activision outdoes themselves again when it comes to screwing it up. It has long been a fact that is it’st no longer about the quality of games and players, but about MONEY OVER EVERYTHING. The biggest joke here is that Overwatch 2 was announced in the first place because they wanted to introduce an extensive "PVE" CO-OP campaign, so that was the ONLY reason to bring Overwatch 2 to life. After the announcement that the "PVE" part won't be coming out at all as it was planned, but only small sections of it, I think almost every fan realized that OW2 was actually made to sacrifice it for a much more profitable loot system. This "MOVE" has the image of Jastor Gallywix burned into my mind forever. If Blizzard were its own character, it would certainly be a far more ruthless and greedy version of Jastor Gallywix.… Expand

Overwatch 1 is good, but the 'new' aspects that make it "Overwatch 2" aren't. The core changes, planned to elevate Overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2, was the addition of talent systems, PvE content and modes (potentially adding new plot and lore to the game), and long-term progression. Overwatch 2 released in a clear (yet undisclosed) 'early access' state where none of those new core changes existed. On launch OW2 had no PvE content, no talent systems, and no long-term progression. The only changes made from Overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2 were a few new heroes, a few new maps, and a new game mode or two. The other, glaring change, was the change from a pay-to-play model to a free-to-play model; meaning Overwatch 2 completely free to play, but now most of the unlockable content (almost entirely cosmetic) is pay-to-earn (ditching the previous model of earning coins for loot boxes or outright buying certain cosmetics). Now, fastforwarding almost a year since Overwatch 2's release, those core new changes that were absent on launch have been officially scrapped by the development team. That means the aspects meant to elevate Overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2 no longer exist. In a direct quote from an OW2 dev: "What this means is that we won't be delivering that dedicated hero mode, those talent trees, that long-term progression. Those things just aren't in our plans anymore.". "Overwatch 2" doesn't exist, so it gets a 0 from me. It's just Overwatch 1 with a very lackluster expansion mascarading as a sequel.… Expand

Then the game stopped developing in any way and the only thing that was added was a couple of new skins that you could buy with saved coins or get with the help of the loot boxes. Suspended development of the game defended that they are diligently working on a new part where everything will change, new maps, heroes, "PVE" mode and many other things will be added. Since the launch of Overwatch version 2.0, everything has started to fall apart. By canceling the older version of overwatch into several thousand queues for four days. When you were among the lucky ones who managed to log in to Overwatch in the first few days, you found out that there is no "No PVE mode" in the game that they promised us and for which reason Overwatch 2 was made and loot boxes with profile leveling disappeared (the only way to get cosmetics in the game for free with no payment). They added absolutely pathetic battlepasses and of course a shop where you can buy a badge you won't even see in the game for $10 (more expensive than if you bought it in real life). For each season, I make trailers for what will be in the new season and what skins will be there, except that you have to buy 70% of the content in the store, 20% is the battlepass and the remaining 10% is for mortals, which is one map and one skin per play for months so you don't cry because you have nothing. "Oh, and not to forget to get the newly added heroes you have to either buy a battlepass to get them immediately or Grinding to level 45". And you don't know yet that earning a level is quite tedious and you can spend more than 50 hours of time to complete the weekly quests (yes, they are outrageously boring and keep repeating themselves). For weekly quests, you will receive 60 coins each week after completion. For comparison, battlepas cost 1000 coin and legendary skins cost 1000 and above.Well, what do we have in the finale and why am I writing this at all? You had 5 years to do what you promised us, and on May 17 I learned that you are canceling the PVE that you promised us for 5 years? What on earth have you been doing all this time? I have the feeling that one and a half people are working on Overwatch. Why are you telling us now? What's the point of half a year from ubdait overwatch to number 2? For peace of mind, you released the road map again, but in that map I only saw what I was supposed to gain from 2019 until now. I will not discuss other aspects of why this game is bad, such as player toxicity or poorly made balance or still unfixed bugs since launch. You have not only broken the bottom, you are already running around and making everything worse and worse. I hope that whoever is responsible for this disaster bears the punishment he deserves. Blizard is no longer a company of hope, quality and fun for me. For me, Blizard has become an incompetent, lying, outrageously stingy company that I haven't experienced in my lifetime.

    I have played for years the first overwatch and I must say, what they have done to this game is very sad.

    Cancelling a core promised deliverable? Don't announce something you can't deliver please. Remove the 2 from 'Overwatch 2'. I lost most of my interest in playing OW2 when the heroes got locked behind a paywall, this is the nail in the coffin.

    It has recently become clear that Overwatch 2 is essentially a monetization update. Every player was looking forward to the PVE announced in 2019. No one wants the “PVE” events like Archives from OW1.

It’s also incredibly scummy that Blizzard knew for over a year that the original epic PVE vision from 2019 was no longer going to be released. Yet they are just telling us this now?! Myself and so many others got back into the game because we were excited for the PVE that had been advertised and justified the sequel. Now we all just feel scammed and legitimately lied to for the sake of profit. What they did should be illegal and I wish they could be sued and answer for their scummy predatory tactics. It’s sad and disappointing that the leadership at blizzard scrapped something everyone was so excited for due to greed and poor management. To be clear, I don’t blame the Devs for any of this, they don’t make these type of decisions. I feel bad for them that they poured so much work into something we will never be able to experience. I’ve been an overwatch fan since 2016 when the game first came out. However, I cannot in good conscience support this game or this company after seeing their greedy scummy and predatory tactics used again and again. This was the nail in the coffin for me. I have uninstalled the game and will not be playing again unless something drastically changes. Sad day to have been an overwatch fan.… Expand

The skins I could get for free in the game I purchased are now locked behind a pay wall? Tolerable. I get flamed now for being the only Tank? I can deal with it. I get less peel now? Not as enjoyable, but skill issue i guess. Lucio is a feeble character that can't hold his own now? Not really fun.

I have to play Rein to stand a chance against the Zarya who will now swap to Wintson to continue to dominate me? hmmm.

    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.
