    So they have implemented a phone verification to play the game, however if you are in another country and don’t have access to your phone number that is relevant to the country where you have originally registered the profile, you are not able to verify your number as it does not allow to change the county code of your number.

    The most greedy developers. Almost any game already has a payback combat pass, immediately you need to buy it every time for real money. What can we say about part 2, this is version 1.2. Stupidly added a couple of heroes, maps, funny... For players who had the legendary edition of the first part, they were given 2 clown skins that did not give up to anyone.

    This is not overwatch 2, this is overwatch 1.1, nothing more, absolutely all free content from the game has been removed, paid battlepass that does not pay for itself, full-fledged pay to win gameplay, a huge number of extra pop-up notifications during the game, like thanks, requests for healing, etc. .p., which now appear extremely irritably over the allies, backward fonts and an interface that seems to have been copied from the Chinese clone of the first overwatch. No adequate bonuses for the owners of the first part, constant queues, falling servers, incomprehensible lags and friezes. The stroke of enemy and allied characters has been changed so much that it is banal in many situations it is not clear who you are shooting at or who is attacking you from the word at all.

    The game was literally destroyed, everyone now plays "every man for himself", there is practically no teamwork, the game with one tank looks extremely dull and meager, many control skills, like stuns, have been removed.

    This is not just bad, it's disgusting, not only did they take away the first normal part of the game for which I paid money, they also gave out a new crooked game, the main resource for obtaining content in which is donation.

    And where is the main innovation that we were all promised and that we all were waiting for? Yes, I'm talking about the pve component now, it will only be in 2023 and that's not a fact. Strict 3 out of 10 points, it's not even funny, an indie studio could do a hundred times better.    … Expand

    This game died 4 years ago and Blizzard's poor attempt to revive it only made it worse. I mean, did anyone really expect Blizzard to produce anything good nowadays? The recent works they've put out are a **** Warcraft 3 Remake, Diablo the Crash Grab Mobile Game, Overwatch content update but we're calling it a sequel, and a huge sexual harassment lawsuit. **** you, Blizzard.

    Basically took all the core components of OW1 and jettisoned them in favor of a twitchy shooter with more in common with Halo than the original OW. Deeply disappointing. If it was its own thing that wouldn't be so bad, but they sunset OW in favor of this so you've got no other option. Had hundreds of hours into the original. Played the sequel for a day and proceeded to uninstall.

    Overwatch 2, the sequel to Overwatch 1. They removed a tank slot from the teams (good bye queue times for tank), made a bunch of silly changes in the background to anonymize more players while weaponizing the report system for any SJW's. On top of that transcription of all voice recordings. Gee, wonder why over 15 games only 1 person has spoken in chat. Crazy. How about    Where to begin?

On top of that transcription of all voice recordings. Gee, wonder why over 15 games only 1 person has spoken in chat. Crazy. How about a scoreboard? Nope, instead of adding that we took away ranks, so you don't even know what you're playing in ranked. Kinda defeats the purpose. Selling the original games cosmetics for tens of thousands of dollars. Jittery frame rates even on low settings, on a $5000 rig. And of course, the "DDOS" attack (not real, they just weren't prepared for what I assume is a very embellished amount of players. None of the core issues of the first game seem to get addressed. Balance is nowhere to be found. Most of the maps are the old maps. New events will be the same events they've recycled since OW1. Oh yeah, do you have a phone with an approved provider? It's the only way we even let you play, even if we stole your copy of OW1 and forced you to download 2 instead. Once you get the phone figured out you pesky poor person be sure to play for dozens of hours to unlock base heroes. If you'd like you can buy our battlepass for fake digital crap. This allows us to milk consumers for more money because we had to circumvent loot box laws (good job going after those in courts, gamers. That sure solved the problem).

    The only thing worse than a bad game is a bad game everyone plays.

    Don't play this POS. It does nothing new enough to even warrant being called a sequel while simultaneously making several things much, much worse.

Please nerf Mercy by disabling her ability to walk she is obviously too strong!!! And some characters need a buff... Maybe give junkrat an extra mine or too? He's just too weak, even since the first game! I sincerely hope Blizzard will continue to develop this new and exiting installment in franchise, the least we can do as players, is to support them by just playing the game! I can't wait to spend 8 months of my life grinding for 1 legendary skin!… Expand

    I personally find it really hilarious how a "GOTY" ended up like this LOOOOOOOL.

    This has to be the biggest joke in gaming ever. I have to use a phone number just for chat??! Considering the ties Blizzard has with China..... it makes it kinda sus...... Oh, this game is a free-to-play game? Already that makes it a scam as nothing is actually free.

    Oh, this game is a free-to-play game? Already that makes it a scam as nothing is actually free. It has an awful battle pass, and in general the least normal game ever. Can these types of games please die out? Who are the dumb people still buying and playing blizzard products nowadays? Don't let mega-corporations psychologically manipulate and abuse you.

    Overwatch cursed gaming and I will never forgive blizzard for it. Heck, Blizzard in general cursed gaming with their drug, I mean MMO called WoW. It's the whole reason why we game as a service. What happened to games with stories? Games that told something? Games with fun gameplay? Music? Please avoid this game like the plauge.    … Expand

    -The biggest change for me was a removal of 1 tank. Incredible how many things this have changed.
    While original game was a SHIELD DESTROYING FEST (especially when it's reinhardt x orisa or sigma), now it's more fast, more attacking for both DPS and tanks. However I feel that gameplay for healers didn't change much. Tanks are now so fun to deal damage to. They are practically unkillable,    -The biggest change for me was a removal of 1 tank.

    While original game was a SHIELD DESTROYING FEST (especially when it's reinhardt x orisa or sigma), now it's more fast, more attacking for both DPS and tanks. However I feel that gameplay for healers didn't change much. Tanks are now so fun to deal damage to. They are practically unkillable, because healers in 5v5 have more resources to sustain them. AND THIS IS FUN. Not a "game for everyone" where 12 people play and one person can't make much difference and noone gets offended. No more a game where elo hell is more real than anywhere else.

    -At first I thought that UI is mobile-like, didn't like the idea, but in fact it just feels fresh and works well with both improved UI animations (i.e. Ult glow) and new hero select animations.
    -Rome map feels fresh too, and you see that they worked on post-processing, colors look picturesque.
    -Also new Push game mode is kinda fun to play.
    -New scoreboard. FINALLY. Now it's no more a game for snowflakes and easily offended people. Not a "game that should make you feel comfortable" and just fill in the player spot in a match. Now you can actually see how your team performs, HOW YOU PERFORM and plan accordingly

    Now to things I don't like:
    -Junker Queen has a very tiny hitbox, and a looot of HP for that hitbox (imagine Tracer with 400 hp), which makes her a very difficult target and, well, unbalanced.
    -New Battle Pass system... Let's be honest, we are okay with this system in Apex Legends, but here... It just doesn't fit. You buy a Battle Pass for what reason? To have skins all other players have? Skin distribution system back in the days told a story - you opened hard earned pack and got a legendary skin for your favourite character. Or you spent a handful of currency to buy just this one skin you like. This system I liked is no more.
    -Yes, game servers can't take this much load first few days. We see it in all Blizzard games.
    -Yes, compared to original game, you wait 2 minutes to find a game on dps instead of 10+mins. This shows how dead and abandoned and forgotten the original game was. And this is Blizzard's fault.

    10 out of 10 because of offended people here hitting 0. In fact 8 out of 10 bc it's super fun to play    … Expand

    They removed Overwatch 1 from my library. I paid money for that. I feel scammed. This is Warcraft 3 Refunded all over again. They learned nothing and they don't care.

    Launch day +2. Servers are still broken. 80 players ahead of me for ages. The queue count is lying to my face.

    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.
