    Overwatch 2 cannot be explained without its predecessor. Overwatch 1 was one of the very best multiplayer experiences in terms of accessibility and clear design choices. The multiplayer landscape is littered with games, designed for young players, eagerly waiting to spend countless hours to sharpen their skills. Overwatch 1, led by Jeff Kaplan, achieved to combine a more mature player base with a high enough skill ceiling for younger players. It did so by following two clear design principles: “fun over balance” and “easy to learn, hard to master”.

    The core of this game was so good, that even now, where none of these principles are kept, it can only leave scars at it, no matter how hard the developers try to destroy it. They introduce tanks, which have unclear abilities and no tank-resembling physique. They implement duplicates of existing heroes and new ones, which skill gap is so huge, that you can’t expect success with less than 10 hours of practice.

    And these decisions or “scars” start to add up, blurring the clear vision of a once great game, leaving only a feeling of hollowness and anger against the incompetence of the new staff. Adding to this, is the utter ridiculous new monetization system, charging players 26$ for one skin for one of the 36 heroes. Even the “Trostpreise” (German for consolation prizes) reach price tags of 10$, consisting of worthless profile pictures, sprays and victory poses. One might ask if there are unlockables, well, if you mean with money, then yes, there are unlockables.

    Last but not least, the wokeness of this game must be addressed. Due to the fact, that Blizzard employees can’t keep their hands off of women, proven by countless controversies, the executives are now trying to paint over their dark past by sending mendacious letters of excuse. These letters consist of posing only black heroes on the cover, cutting away from the Asian e-sport players in their trailers, renaming existing heroes and pushing an all-female agenda (and many more ridiculously small steps). I always liked Overwatch for pushing boundaries, but with this, they are not brave, but instead playing it safe to appeal to a modern audience.

    Since Blizzard tries to be responsible for the Top 5 Worst Rated Games on Metacritic, I must congratulate it to be one step closer to its, now very achievable, goal.    … Expand

    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 number 2 in the title is a joke, it's rather a small patch to Overwatch removing more stuff than it adds.

    Changes made to competitive mode make it much worse, many characters designed for 6v6 do not work in 5v5. Not to mention the most fragile player base and overzealous game developer, which leads to season-long bans just because you complain on chat about bad character picks of other players or about lousy performance.
    Good players can't interact with bad players (who report "verbal abuse"), so they leave the game. At the same time trolls, abusive players, and such just get new accounts, it's free after all!

    And the last thing is matchmaking. Player base is by now very small and dwindling, so to avoid long ques game throws people of ridiculously different levels into the same game. There are no close games, good games. It's always a onesided roflstomp where one team annihilates another.

    If you think it's worth giving a shot to relive the magic of the first Overwatch, do yourself a favour and stay away. At least you will keep fond memories of the Overwatch from 7 years ago    … Expand

Instead they wait until the game is in a terrible state and as a last ditch effort try to balance things. They have neglected their promised PVE mode, and have given like 0 information about it. Also making the PVE mode and paid DLC which is just tragic considering OW1 players were forced to switch to OW2 and didnt really get compensation for it other than oh you get to keep your things that youve earned!! Save your mental and go play something more enjoyable. Id rather play league than this game and thats saying something.… Expand

    The R34 is good, aynthing else is mostly a joke. Overwatch on it's on is not a bad game, however the Overwatch 2 rerelease adds little to nothing to the game besides shutting down it's old servers in favor of making a battlepass simulator with the good old exploitative and preditory monetization system.

    Ow1 Players:
    - People who bought OW1 got almost no compensation for being forced to migrate to OW2,They just kept the things they already had in OW1, which was nothing more than the company's obligation to keep those goods, and they gained some characters and some cosmetics (which in my opinion are very few and bad).
    - OW1 players did not earn any compensation for the years they had without any new content for the game.
    - Although a player's level is not a very important thing, it is still a player's achievement and taking that away from someone is quite annoying...
    - Almost all the skins that are possible to obtain during the new events are skins that had already been released for a while, so players who already own the skin do not gain anything from the event.

    Battle Pass:
    - Battle Pass is non-renewable (you cannot, through the Battle Pass, earn a way to buy the next Battle Pass)
    - The battle pass appears to have a lot of rewards, but in reality, most of the rewards are just bad, like sprays, weapon accessories, etc.
    - Even those rewards that are considered good have problems, as players who play primarily support and don't play the other two roles (assuming the battle pass has equal number of rewards for both three roles), only 1/3 of those rewards will be considered good for that player, while 2/3 of the rewards will be from roles that the player doesn't even play.
    - The new cosmetics like the weapon charms seem like they were just created to make more money from the game, with no concern as to whether this type of cosmetic fits the type of game OW really is, for example they literally stuck a pendant inside sigma's hand...
    - Summing up with everything mentioned above, although I consider the price acceptable, the fact that most of the rewards are just junk (like icons, sprays, charms, souvenirs, and maybe you could also consider the name cards and voice lines) , and even the ones that are considered good are often for characters you don't even play with. PS: and it is also non-renewable .-.

    Cost benefit:
    - The price of skins is extremely high, also taking into account that if you buy a skin for one character, a different character cannot use it.
    F2P Friendly:
    - The rewards for those who don't spend money in the game are pretty bad, even in events... In the 2022 Halloween event, F2P players only received charms, sprays, voice lines and Battle Pass XP as rewards, basically just useless garbage, making it not even worth trying to collect the rewards or even playing the event more than once or twice to try it out, or even, after collecting the rewards, there was no reason to continue playing the event.
    - Players, per week, can earn up to sixty in-game coins after completing up to eleven specific, boring and annoying challenges (I'm sorry, but I don't want to have to WIN seven games in a row as All Roles and have to play roles that I hate...) . With these coins you can buy different cosmetics, the problem is that they are only sixty coins a week and the cosmetics are very expensive.
    - Bearing in mind that epic skins cost 1000 in-game coins and the legendary ones cost 1900 in-game coins. Doing the math, it would take you 4 months and a week to buy just one epic skin/BP and it would take almost 8 months to buy just ONE legendary skin...

    Competitive:
    - The ranking system is a bit confusing and frustrating (for example, sometimes when my games are going very well and when it comes time to receive my new rank, I remain in exactly the same rank, putting all my effort directly into To The F Garbage...).

    The good things that came with this "new" game...

    - It seems that there are less and less cheaters in the game, and when one appears, we are informed that the player has received his punishment (at least the warnings about the ban are faster than in OW1).
    - The game is still fun when played with friends PS: (almost all games are fun when played with friends, so I don't know if that's really a quality to mention about this game...).
    - New characters for the game PS: (which could also have been released in OW1 if it continued to receive new content).
    - Only 1 tank per team made the game more fun and now we don't have to deal with 2 super hard targets and their infinite barriers (same thing for 2CP)    … Expand

Most of the fans are sick of the line "the matchmaking system is working as intended" - well yeah perhaps it is in your heads, but when 90% of your player base is actually experiencing a terrible game play experience then there's something wrong.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Clearly the developer has no idea of what is a team game with roles and capabilities. The balance is so horrible in the sense that ultimately is all about the tank on each team in role que. In open que it simply becomes a tank fight, because tanks are just the most powerful roles now...Not to mention not all tanks are equally strong..

    As a longtime HoTS player I have had some really unbalanced comps in quick play, like 5 squishy assassins vs a balanced team with tanks, assassins and healers. But it is never as frustrating as OW2.
    OW2 is more like mixing some DotAIMBA heroes into normal DotA...    … Expand

OW2 is all about tanks, so arcade games and Open Queue will result in the team picking more tanks to virtually always win. 3-4 tanks with 1-2 healers is the meta. It's terrible game design and wasn't addressed in 4 months.

Great example: Kiriko's witch skin hardly has anything notable, but Mercy's witch skin has different voice lines according to what you're doing. Does Blizzard not pay the VA's enough to get any dialogue out? I swear their budgeting goes into the cinematic and not improving the game. I regret those 4000 hours I wasted.

    Overwatch 2 is basically Overwatch with one new character and one Battle Pass character. I give it 0 points because of their current Battle Pass system to get people to spend money on the game. Battle Pass is yet another way to steal money and I can not give anything other than 0 for that. You would be better off spending your money on slot machines (make sure they are not owned by Konami...)

    This game infinitely worse that OW1 on its own, loved features are gone, physics are so much worse, most of the characters are now unbalanced or broken which will take years to fix, old maps are shuntted to the side to make way for their horrid new counterparts, they have actually removed more content from the original game than they have actually added - straight up less content. This really is just a lesser re-skinned version of ow1. Veterans of blizzards antics will know they are very good at doing this and getting away with it.
    Forced to play what feels like a game still in early beta, when we paid for a perfectly fine version just to have it deleted. They knew this game would be killed off if they didnt kill off ow1 servers first.
    This game is honestly just a a glorified cash grab disguised as a game. requiring people to dump tens of thousands of dollars into the game to acquire skins that everyone got for free in ow1. I never minded the loot box system, because it was never shoved in our faces and were never forced to buy them for mid tier skins.
    I played 1400 hours of ow1, and loved it. Vast majority of my friends, vets of the game like myself, refuse to play this downgraded replacement. I really gave this game a solid go just to try and prove that there was anything good about this game to keep me playing, and so i didnt feel like I wasted all those hours of my life. After 25 hours of trying i can say with certainty that there is nothing.
    I will not be returning to this game, or any games made by blizzard. They are all the same re-skinned games with no attempt to make them better but somehow come out worse than the original with years of feedback to build on. I would never recommend this game to anyone, it's just as soulless as the people who made it.    … Expand

    Matchmaking now is very bad, both for QPs and competetive. It's a big topic, so if you want to know more - there are a lot of info on that already in the internet.
    In OG Overwatch you could get 4+ random legendary skins, enough gold to purchase a legendary skin you want, and other items, like sprays, emotions, etc in 8 months worth of play. Now you can only get 1 legendary skin and a few minor items across the battle-pass, completing challenges. And it doesn't matter if that skin is 6 years old, prices are the same. When a weapon charm in real life costs less than that exact charm in game, when it is more efficient to farm gold in WoW to buy items in OW than play OW itself — there should be something wrong in this monetisation policy.
    Recent "event" is also very lazy/poorly done, looks like just to showcase new skins, $20 each.

    Hope they do something with this franchise, because it has great potential, but as always with blizz games, it is probably going nowhere.

    Another thing I don't like is the removal of loot boxes, that was a fair and fun way of getting free stuff in the game, now if you Want a cosmetic you're obligated to buy, because doing missions isn't worth it.

    So, basically overwatch 2 is a medium sized overwatch 1 DLC, but free with micro transactions now.

    The game itself is good, but it's the same as the first one, I can't rate it higher for much I want to do it. A better title for the game would be "Overwatch: EA"

The store is extremely greedy, and the 2000 coins I had from the pack weren't enough to buy one single legendary skin pack. They have always priced 2200 coins or so...

    Then this new game mode "push" got boring pretty fast since it's pretty difficult to do a come-back in this mode. As I played the game more and more, It felt more and more like a big patch rather than a sequel. There is no fundamental improvement in the groundwork of the game. Like, the a-d spam is still a thing, the game still over-relies on healers, old maps have the same layouts, and there is no new gameplay mechanic or a new idea or anything. The game lacks the innovation and content to deserve a "2" at the end of its name.    … Expand

    Overwatch 1 was a good game with a few issues. Overwatch 2 improves visuals slightly but all the issues overwatch 1 has are now just make Overwatch 2 unplayable. Balancing is done by a potato, most of my games have been one team just dominating the other. Mystery hero is now just the same 6 hero's 70% of the time and then the other 30 hero's share the rest.

    Cannot join ranked matches when it has found one. Sometimes, it is possible after a restart. If you are unlucky, you get suspended instead. Years of development for slightly better graphics has paid off. I cannot recommend the game in this state.

    The game have a lot of heroes to choose from, there is almost no bugs and it has a unique gameplay compared to other shooters.

    The only thing i hate it's the bad matchmaking.

    This game is so bad, it makes me sad. Imbalanced, broken MMR, now Pay to Win by buffing a hero you have to buy get him now instead of playing 45 levels of endless grinding. Teammates often act like bots. The free to play system ruined the entire OW1 community.

    After playing this game every day for past 3 months, i can definitively say that things actually got worse. A lot worse.
    Gameplay itself mostly came over from OV1 and so its ok.
    Balancing is trash. They have changed a lot of mechanics from original game, but it was clearly done by people that had very loose understanding of what they were doing. As almost every aspect of the game it is a downgrade.
    Laggers are bane of this game and due to idiotic manner engine is coded, can tank a nuke in their face, smile and keep on going. OV1 had same problem. Good to see that nothing has changed.
    Cheaters, due to it F2P model, are in abundance. While all those "pros" mostly congregate in competitive, there is at least one in every second-third game in Unranked as well.
    Matchmaking, as of 2 patches ago, was completely ruined in Unranked. In 6 out of 7 games one team will be completely steamrolling another. Its not just bad, its atrocious.
    Mission system is horrible. For one, half of them require winning games. What happened with just playing!? Regardless of winning or losing. Second, there are several that are just stupid, like waving at healer. With them not working most of the time or completing without any waving. Seriously, what kind of moron came up with this crap?!?! And third is "diversification" of weekly missions, forcing players, if they want to collect what little currency game "generously" gives players, to play as every role. You CANT complete all the mission by playing as just one role. In fact one of weekly missions specifically requires player to win 3 games as each role.
    I am support main, with some tanking on occasion. And i have no interest in playing DPS role. WHY TO DUCK to force me not to just ruin my own games, forcing to play as DPS, but for other people on my team, as i suck as DPS. Losing game after game, to get those stupid r@tard#d 3 wins as each role.
    They could have made hybrid missions, like "Mitigate OR heal damage" and make missions simply requiring playing, not stressing out about winning and lose game after game.
    Rewards for weeklies are peanuts. You can make max 60 coins a week. One epic skin costs 1900 coins. So you need to grind 11 poorly balanced missions every week for 8 months to be able to buy just ONE skin. And while for daily missions you need to complete just 3 out of 6 available, to max out rewards, there is just 11 weekly missions in total, so you cant pick and choose what fits you best.
    Overall balancing in this section is from wall to wall, from normal to complete trash and stupidity.
    Events are made is same manner as normal missions and they are all pretty much the same. And of course of same low quality. Like current Battle for Olympus event. Top reward is a skin, a nice one, for Mercy, that id very much like to get as i am support main. And then you look at requirements...
    For one this is a FFA event. In a game that is build around idea of teamplay, you have ducking FFA event. Not several events, where players can pick and chose what fits them most, no, one option. Are you for ducking serious!?!?!
    To get skin i need to complete 6 other missions. Rest of rewards are trash anyway. Some exp, some voice lines(that nobody cares about), some titles(that nobody cares about). 2 missions are easy and can be completed in just one-two games, by simply playing. But rest... duck me... 300 kills as one of the champions will complete one mission(and you need 6 in total for skin). THREE HUNDRED DUCKING KILLS. For each champion. Of course alternative is so much "better". Only 25 kills...but only during ults. Alternatively player can win 10 FFAs. We are talking a full time job to win this skin. Those imbeciles at Blizzard are out of their ducking minds. This is what you get when you hire based on "diversity", rather than merit.
    You can get two missions by collecting power ups, another one by winning 10 games(good luck with that, considering that it is a complete chaos there) and score 900 kills between three different champions, playing same map and mode again and again and again, for ONE DUCKING SKIN!
    Of course i could put 20 euros into this game and buy said skin. But i will NOT, on principle, support game that mistreats it players in such blatant manner.
    So i take back my 2/10 and give it 0/10 now. Nothing in OV2 is even remotely good, aside of parts that were taken from OV1, that are passable.    … Expand

    Way too many (quick play) matches with incomplete teams. In some matches it's e.g. 5v4 from start to end. It wasn't that bad in OW1. I was ok with the lootboxes from OW1, now I ignore the shop system completely - just nope!

    Made the game worse in so many ways. This company's greed knows no bounds. Adding heroes to a lengthy battlepass, removing pretty much all ability to earn cosmetics for free, ruining balance, removing many beloved features, resetting competitive ranks, I could go on.

    The balance team needs to be fired and replaced with a drunk monkey. Genji was a high tier hero who had been bad for 2 years. He was not broken, just finally good. So they gutted him and buffed his counters. They cannot let Genji ever be good because support players can't be expected to learn matchups. A drunk monkey could probably balance the game better than the current balance team.

    Honestly the worst game ever. A bunch of bugs, problems, but what can I say.

    The developers can't even make a normal patch. They buff those who really don't need it. And who really needs a buff, they can't make her strong. Yes, yes, her name is Junker Queen, a buff that did not give her anything. She is still a weak tank. Lifesteal - pathetic 19 hp. Shout - 200 hp for 5 seconds, and    Honestly the worst game ever.

    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.
