    This game deserves all of its backlash. When you underdeliver on the entire reason why the product exists in the first place, youre going to lose your fanbase.

    The promised Overwatch 2 was specifically the PvE content. Now that story is dead in favor of a monetized system of seasonal battle passes. They figured well they can't make consistent money on a box priced game. They prefer to stick to a battle pass system and scrap PvE all together. We need JEFF BACK!!! SAVE US!!!

    I am so disappointed in this game, from the monetization to the lack of any meaningful content except new heroes and a couple of new maps. The same events over and over again every holiday without any major updates. And now the gutting of the PVE mode is so disappointing.

    The game itself is ok-good. But the policy behind it is terrible.
    OW2 was supposed to be a PvE with PvP game. Then it was PvP with PvE soon. Now they canceled the reason why they made a part two in first place, the PvE mode and the reason why i bought it in the first place.
    I payed for the PvE mode and payed for the PvP mode twice instead.

    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.

Но теперь они просто нагло вырезали буквально главную фичу 2 части - полноценный PVE контент с геройскими миссиями и прокачкой. Теперь будут точно такие же лорные миссии по типу архивов из первой части. Но тут вопрос, а где вы были все это время? В чем была проблема еще тогда делать новые ивенты и лорные миссии? Overwatch 1 можно было бесплатным сделать еще тогда. Скорее всего я запускать эту игру от этой компании больше не буду, если только из ностальгии по первой части. Это просто позор компании, они обгадились буквально везде и в новом сезоне еще снова пихают лусиобол на очередном летнем ивенте.… Expand

    This game is just pay to win now. Either you pay $10 or you have to play round about 50 hrs just to get a new hero. If a hero has a game breaking bug it takes them weeks to fix it, which also means that the hero isn't available for said time.

    And now they also canceled the promised PVE mode, so it's just a cash grab game now.

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 liked the atmosphere and design. But then this "update" came out with the number 2. They promised PvE, reworking of heroes, which I was very happy about. But after the battle pass news, my hope began to fade. I was finished off by the news about the "paid" characters. But still, despite this, I was waiting for PvE.

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

    If you haven't tried Overwatch back in the day, and you're thinking of playing Overwatch 2, because hey, "It's free, why not give it a shot", don't bother, it's atrociously bad, and you certainly won't get the fun Overwatch used to deliver. All I can say to these poor souls really is "Sorry mate, it's gone".
    And you know what's the worst of it? Even if you manage to accept that the game has LOADS of microtransactions and other negatively affecting whatnots like toxicity or the glitches, you still won't get the fun you were looking for!
    The characters locked behind paywalls will make sure of that. That's perhaps the worst change Overwatch 2 implemented.

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

    Last Weekend, Monday, Tuesday:
    Almost all of my heroes get locked for a night
    I have to deal with que times again?
    Every match is, once again like in Overwatch 1, roll or be rolled, stomp or get stomped

    You know, I don't even care that much about the battlepass/store (even though it is atrocious and far worse than the old lootbox system), but I do care about being able to play a well matched game without bugs or disconnect issues. OW2 has already become OW1 in regards to this unacceptable circumstance.

    And the teammates you get these days, wow. I had a tank on my team last night in a competitive game who constantly bemoaned my inability to heal them, yet I had the most heals in the whole game from beginning to end. I said to them during the match, "press tab and look at the scoreboard." They obviously never did because they made the same complaint to the match chat at the end of the game. The enemy healers and my fellow support had about 7k healing each. I had 14k heals. So you can do literally twice the amount of healing as every other player in the game, lose, and still have your team's tank pin the failure on you. What more can you do in that circumstance? It is impossible to make your tank and other teammates not kill themselves by exposing themselves to multiple 5v1 scenarios (which is impossible to out-heal, of course). You can't make them kill the enemy or understand basic mechanics of the game like getting on the objective or appropriately using the map to avoid damage. Your teammates may very well not understand how their hero, their teammates heroes, or their enemy heroes function or how they should be countered. The game becomes broken, but you're the one getting blamed for the loss despite doing statistically more than anyone else in your role.

    Overwatch 2 is a frustrating group project without satisfying rewards.

    Sadly, I don't think I will even give OW2 a second shot after all of these issues. I say sadly because I really do appreciate and enjoy the idea of Overwatch. Unfortunately, the reality of Overwatch is a frustrating mess with some of the dumbest, most hateful people you will encounter on this planet.    … 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.
