    Overwatch 2 is now officially nothing more than a cashshop update.
    They really deserve an award. Ruining a game with this much potential requires an extraordinary amount of incompetence and greed.
    I will boycott Activision-Blizzard until they get their **** together and I hope you will too.

    Update: and now blizzard killed OW2 by completing their bait and switch. No more PVE, no more character progression, no more missions in coop, just online pvp with a wallet cleaner/store and a more unbalanced game than in OW1. Brilliant, bravo, encore encore!

    Gameplay is completely messed up. There is no more balance. The tanks are supposed to act as DPS and are designed as such. DPS    Update: and now blizzard killed OW2 by completing their bait and switch. No more PVE, no more character progression, no more missions in coop, just online pvp with a wallet cleaner/store and a more unbalanced game than in OW1. Brilliant, bravo, encore encore!

    Gameplay is completely messed up. There is no more balance. The tanks are supposed to act as DPS and are designed as such. DPS are, well, tanks without the armor and healers are just cannon fodder except for moira which is just an outlier in this mess of a game. It is not uncommon for a moira player to have most higher kills/assist, heal and DPS in comp.

    There was obviously no quality control before release: that's why bastion have been killed from the game, torb eliminated from comp, and zarya in total mayhem makes no sense whatsoever.

    The 2 CP maps have been axed, why? The new maps are not enough to justify this removal. The new push the barrier mode is frankly a joke.

    The battlepass is obviously not worth it given that unusual skins are sold for a mere 1900 overwatch coins (close to $20).

    Now the server issue have been resolved but the game cannot match players properly as the grind to rise the comp ranks is pretty messed up.

    Given this is a free to play and they won't be able to balance the game (unless they accept to change seriously the game mechanics and some of the maps to come back to something that is slower paced and more readable), it's pretty certain this game will completely die soon.

    After completing the battle pass and reaching the prestige title, this game is a big zero out of 100.    … 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

    It should actually be named Overwatch 1.5, there was no actual improvement from the first one, they could have just gone F2P and then updated to new consoles, even though it looks exactly the same. The change to 5vs5 does not justify the "upgrade". On top of that, PvE got cancelled, THAT would have been Overwatch 2, not what was delivered.

Tanking was no longer enjoyable, support felt lacklustre, and I never really play damage so can't comment. The game removed any sense of achievement that overwatch 1 gave, no on fire, portrait borders were gone, ranking up and down was confusing and the surprise of opening a gift every level up no longer existed. They somehow managed to turn the gameplay from feeling like a fun shooter into something that felt like a colourful day job.
    Once I lost interest in the PvP I was biding my time until the PvE mode released as the proposed game looked excellent. Sadly this is no longer coming to the level that they originally promised, and looks to be more of a token gesture so that they don't get sued for false advertising, so I probably won't be returning to overwatch.

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.

    Overwatch 2 is one of the worst pieces of entertainment media ever. It took Overwatch, adjusted everything into a singular aggressive playstyle, removing the validity of any other potential strategy, and then slapped on a shop that demonstrated nought but greed and an almost comical level of contempt for its player base. Now, with the only reason the game was called Overwatch 2 essentially scrapped, there's no reason to ever look at this game again, unless it's to laugh at how pathetic it is.    … Expand

    I have been playing Overwatch since the beta. I can no longer play this game. Any time i try its just 1 round and realize how bad the match making has become. i was hoping the PVE would be something i would want to play but its no longer coming out as promised.

    Blizzard and Activision are scamming all of us.

    I'm done with this game, what a great disappointment.

    Never going to play this game. They took my Overwatch and forced me to this and now no PvE. We all wanted the story! Without this isn’t a sequel but a cash grab. It should be called Overwatch:Reforged

    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.
