    Just... not fun. The same formula and outcome as before: Everyone mashes up in a big clump with little strategy or communication, there are explosions, and one team lives.

    my humble opinion, the existence of this project is just as tasteless
    It's your call but for now it's not recommended.
    1/10 this game at that stage.
    Build new engine. Take a one year break and build new game then you will win back your regular fans

    Overwatch when first released stood out as an interesting take on the 6v6 PVP space.

Although not a big name in recent years Overwatch still managed to bring itself a healthy player pool, all be it unbalanced at times. So when Activision Blizard announced Overwatch 2, many were skeptical of the big promises made such as a more balanced meta, the removal of the most shield abilities, and a PVE story mode. And in a result that shocked no one, I am sad to say that none of these promises came true as Overwatch 2 is simply a worse version of the original.

    Ignoring the obvious controversies such as the phone number requirement, removal of loot boxes for a pure micro-transaction currency, the move to a free-to-play and season pass, and the missing PVE story mode, the game itself is a more watered-down version of Overwatch, choosing to favor toxic behavior. Behavior such as spawn camping, player hunting (where 2-3 players constantly kill the same player the moment they spawn), and most frustrating team stacking. A concept where an entire team would stand practically on top of each other so that the Overwatch 2 hitbox system would not properly register damaged delt nor damage received. A concept made even worse with the recent buff to DPS characters as each kill now increases damage output, movement speed, and reload speed.

    These gameplay issues are only made worse by Activision Blizzard's move from a 6v6 model to a 5v5 model. Although many praised the change as a "fresh take", the removal of a second Tank Hero has only managed to hurt the overall balance of the game. With the rise of DPS Heroes and the reward of blind firing, the missing second Tank is nothing more than a painful reminder of how Overwatch used to be, as a second Tank would practically slow down a game. Turning it into a more strategic game rather than a DPS madhouse. A problem with the meta that Activision Blizzard clearly knew about as the reworking of all heroes has led to an overall power gap.

    And to be honest, I could typically accept all these issues as it is a free-to-play game. But, what really made me write this review was how unstable Overwatch 2 is on older hardware. And the clear punishment being made to those like me who can't afford the latest in gaming hardware. For some dumb reason, Overwatch 2 when installed for the first time will be preset to high graphics. This isn't a problem, most games now a day do come preset on high. What IS the problem, the game is incapable of making any graphic changes without a game rest. A feature in computer gaming I have not seen since. Well, ever. And this is for everything, every graphics or framerate change requires a game reset. Now many would shove this off as a minor inconvenience, and normally I would agree. But it is with that game reset that the old hardware punishment comes into effect.

    Upon a game reset after setting the game to low graphics, nothing happens. And I mean that literary. Nothing happens, the game refuses to open. This is the only game I have ever played where it refuses to let a player change the graphic quality to anything other than high. Now, most would say my 7th Gen i5 and 1050ti are the problems, yet in other games such as Apex Legends, Gundam Evolution, Destiny 2, and the original Overwatch, I never had an issue such as this. What this tells me is, my game does not have the low-quality texter files or medium-quality files as medium looks identical to high. I know this because there is a setting in the Blizzard launcher that allows you to "reset" your game setting. Which means the game is reset to the high settings. Thus resulting in an unplayable lag fest.

    Now many may find my 1 out of 10 rating on Overwatch 2 to be a bit harsh. I would argue it's being generous. Because there is a 0 option. Overwatch 2 is nothing more than a cash-grab game taking advantage of the loyal players who stuck with the original through thick and thin while also punishing them for not adopting the toxic gameplay behavior they are pushing or those unable to afford the latest gaming hardware. To say that Overwatch 2 is a massive disappointment is for once. Not a massive understatement.    … Expand

    New map EXTREMELY bad IMO. I can't give a definitive reason why, but they feel really bad. It's like you're playing in the trash.
    The new monetization strategy is too aggressive. Guys, you are Blizzard, not some little indie company that releases free-to-play games and tries to suck money out of the players with all its might.
    Technical Aspects: The graphics don't look better. Your lighting games look 2/5 and it's hard to say that they improve anything. If we look at it from an angle that you have made such a graphics improvement in 6 years of OW1, then you have done it very badly. The game interface doesn't look better either. Competitive rank badges are just ridiculous and shameful.
    And we can talk much about the stability of game servers in the first days of launch. Blizzard has always had problems with large number of players, but apparently they decided not to fix anything before the release of ow2.    … Expand

    And on top it's Pay2Win. You need to play almost 50hrs (10days straight with ~5hrs per day) to get the new hero or you can pay for it (hello little brother of Battlefront).

    The game has changed from 6 to 5 players, with only 1 tank instead of 2 in a party wich is ok as a game mode but why force it upon the entire game? Some support heroes are so weak now because that extra shield is gone...

    And don't even get me started on the 'you can earn ingame currency with weekly challenges'. Well yeah you can earn €0.60 each week and a legendary skin costs €20, so you'll be grinding for almost half a year for 1 skin. I played ow1 for almost 5 years, and the last 2 years I actually got my wife so far as to play it with me, but since ow2 we just don't like it anymore and she moved on from the game.

    So sad to see one of ly all time favorite games turn into an absolute cash grab. I hope it fails tremendously! But hey at least 'it's free to play'. Blizzard I hope you choke on your money!    … Expand

    Overwatch 2 is a half-finished product designed by Blizzard to maximize profits (I would call it stealing).

    2) Removal of Torbjorn and Bastion due to errors.
    3) Constant bugs, lags, crashes from the game.
    4) Monetization, which other games will envy with their ripping off. Whoever came up with the idea of ​​selling old skins for $20 should be fired after such an offer.
    5) There is no promised PVE content in this game. Because for 3 years, developers have been busy with scandals, not with game development.
    6) There is no normal progression system to support player loyalty. 60 donated currency (Skins cost 2000+, and the Battle Pass costs 1000) - this is very little.
    7) Everything that works is carried over from Overwatch 1, but the differences for old players are not very obvious (No! Changing the time of day on some maps will not update them).
    Bottom line: At the moment, the game deserves the lowest ratings. The developers could not meet the expectations of the players voiced at the presentation, could not organize a normal launch of the product, could not create a normal balanced monetization.    … Expand

    Or monetize the game on the level of fortnite battle pass where you have more than enough money to buy a new battle pass from the previous one (not every other one like we have now) also battle pass progesion is screwed so against the player it's hilarious at best we don't play video games to have a second job, we do it to have fun and I hope execs realize that soon or they will keep losing players to fortnite (I'd be embarrassed in their place)

    Blizzard has released a quick cash grab, promised players a lot, delivered none of that.
    They literally said that they would release PvE, then said they won't but will give players some PvE coop missions. Then they put those behind a paywall. Overwatch 2 is just the same as Overwatch 1, except more aggressive monetization and less good content added.

    We had a b2p fun game with decent in-game rewards and no pressure about how much time do you have to spend grinding.

    Now it's a huge downgrade with insane prices and even buying battlepass - you are forced to grind 30-40 min / day completing daily achievements. BP rewards are mediocre at best . Feels more like a chore than a game now.

Game have one of the most unfair battle passes i've ever seen - it doesn't contain any coins in it, so you have to buy it every season again and again. Game have one currency (there is also old coins, but you unable to earn them), so even if you grind that laughable amount of coins in game you need to decide - spend them on new skin or grind for another whole season so you can finally buy a battle pass. I bet in the future we will see a lot of FOMO stuff in the ingame shop. Yes, the game still enjoyable, but after a good match you remember that you are no longer a "hero" or even a "player", but just Bobby's cash cow now, and this feeling spoils all the fun and joy.

    A good game with a disgusting donation, a meager battle pass that can't even be redeemed.

    Feels like a cash grab. The progression is extremely slow and it incites you to spend more money. It's just ow1 f2p with some gameplay changes could've just made it as a patch update instead of waiting 3 years for this. Also locking the new heroes behind a paywall is even scummier with how overwatch is supposed to be played. I can't wait for the PvE "freemium" part so I have to spend moreFeels like a cash grab.

    Something just feels off about this game. Matches were laggy, and hit feedback felt off, like my shots felt like they were not connecting but I would see their hp go down. I dunno : I enjoyed playing Overwatch 1 here and there but had to immediately uninstall this one. Giving it a 1 for at least being a game :(

    Everywhere you look I see this word Free, but this is a hoax - I bought part 1 and after that the legendary version and during the existence of the game I never again spent real money on loot boxes, as a result, I have accumulated 95% of all skins and now going into ow2 I realize that if I don't pay 10$ every season I won't have new skins at all + 20$ for 1 skin from the store    #ReturnOw1

    With its new system, Blizzard humiliated the ov1 players thanks to which the game has been survived so far - we have been waiting for content for so many years and "they gave us this". I don't want to play such a game, I want ow1 returned to me, and let ow2 be a separate game that 90+% of ow1 players won't play(
    I think that Blizzard didn't specifically add, but replaced ow1 with ow2, because if you compare the 2 versions, then ow2 looks like Give me your Money

    1 event Ow2 Review
    Previously, all players were waiting for each event - the reason was new skins and we were given quite a lot of them, 6 legendary + epic and more, and everything could be obtained for free, and how many skins you would have depended on the time spent in the game. And now the day has come 1 event overwatch 2 which gives us 2 legendary skins for 40$......
    For years they gave 6 legendary skins just for playing, and now they give 2 for money
    I have no words
    1 more skin was supposed to be in the store, but they decided to sacrifice it in order to apologize for the disgusting launch (rejoice new players, you will have 1 free skin)
    entered a new pve mode and it is not worth mentioning as well as rewards in the form of replicas
    I don't see a future for this game - although there is 1 option in a few years Overwatch classic with favorite loot boxes from which everyone can get skins    … Expand

    Не понравился редизайн,чтобы поиграть нужно ждать по 40-50мин пока место на серваке появиться.

    Закрываю игру с мыслями"Зачем Я ее запустил"

    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.

I've spent 2000 hours playing it with my friend and met lots of people that we are in contact nowadays. Overwatch 2 feels like a game with absolute no soul. It feels like it was made just to make money and that's it. I thought that 5v5 might be great system but i was completely wrong. It just made tanks overpowered and put you into fast pace, aggressive play style with no choice. Every single game in open queue consists of 2 tanks AT LEAST that makes it unplayable. Role queue is a bit more comfortable to play cuz roles are simply locked. The game itself feels like a raw meat that blizzard tries to feed us. Absolutely 0 damage feedback, when u deal damage, when u receive damage, when u heal someone or being healed. I am not even considering this battle pass **** i just want the game to be good, but blizzard just spit on your face with the second version of game. I really hope they are gonna return back 6v6 system and realize their mistakes. If not, you can consider blizzard as a dead company itself.… Expand

    Server issues aside, the changes they've made to the game have completely ruined it. The 5v5 format removes the teamplay that made OW1 so great, each match just feels like a glorified deathmatch.

    I played this game for 6 years to get the clown skin? Cool, you came up with the idea to change the buy button to play and in the game itself to turnover. In general, I can say that the game is for some Evgeny Pivnev !!! We are waiting for an update that will bring the royal battle and make the game a league of legends

    I'm a OG Overwatch player and everytime the microtransactions are mentioned in games I always say that Overwatch had the best "play to earn cosmetics" system.

Every time there's new event and skin drops you could always count on getting them for free just by playing the game and it wasn't even considered "grinding" them. I have almost every legendery skin on every hero and I haven't donated a single penny. But now the game is full of "give me money worth of tripple A tittle game and I give you some skins". Calling this game OVERWATCH is just a joke. Blizzard made this game with full f2p experience that I hated in other games. I'd rather buy a full game and enjoy earning cosmetics for free rather than performing in this circus.… Expand

    At least we need a way to gain old currency rather than just pay $20 for a legendary skin. F2P mode doesn't mean that you can make players and its fans purchase for anything.
    Almost 80 weeks, 7 seasons, 560 days, ONLY TO GET A LEGENDARY SKIN in OW2.

The monetization is now a BP instead of lootboxes, but the battle pass in this game manages to be even more predatory than lootboxes lmao. You will need to be a NEET who can play the game 24/7 to get one skin while OW1 gave out enough lootboxes to let everyone have a good chance at getting multiple cool cosmetics. They also lock new heroes at level 55 of the pass if you're f2p while premium players get them instantly because **** you. The "free" path of the battlepass is utter **** and has absolutely no cool items at all, even the below average items were all put on the premium section, so f2p players who actually have time to dedicate their entire ****ing life to grinding it won't get anything worthwhile but a new champion. The battlepass also doesn't even refund itself like passes do in just about every other game. OW1 also did let you grind out enough currency to get cool new event skins whenever they came out. That's gone now too. Many heroes have had their cool techs and mechanics removed for no reason, and now matches are super reliant on tanks even more than OW1. They spent 4 ****ing years making this and all it is is a watered down OW1 with even worse monetization, and you can't even go back to play OW1 anymore either cause they shut it down. Dog**** game and dog**** company. Don't waste your money or your time. A slap in the face to everyone who liked OW1.

    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.
