    the game became unplayable, not only because of the servers, but also for the gameplay that became only a "push push push". Tanks that are not tanks anymore, they do only damage, and the prove of this is that the only tank with a shield is reinhardt (infact no one uses him anymore).

    It could be the best game in the world but making it a stipulation to have a contractually post post paid phone plan to play is classist. Blizzards motive is to sell user data, not to enrich the player experience. It has no bearing on the gameplay, and only serves to gatekeep and exclude players. It is the opposite of the spirit of gaming and play the Blizzard should strive for.

Кредиты, ни как, если за ранее не накопил в старой версии, остаются только соревновательные, за которые купишь только золотой скин на оружие.... могли бы хотя бы другие цвета добавить, либо анимированные.

    Вторая часть как ни как, должно быть колоссальное обновление, но они гордо задрали нос и хвастаются эпохальными скинами, и на все остальное клали болт. И за это я отдал деньги пару лет назад, чтобы получить бесплатную версию с наихудшими изменениями. 1 балл за Кирико, понравилась очень

    The endorsement system is dramatically reduced - why can't we endorse an enemy player?

    And still, despite the horrendous privacy violation REQUIRING a mobile telephone (is this a crude snipe back at the criticism of the Diablo mobile announcement?) there are trolls looking to spoil the game.

    Overwatch 2 opens by demanding you hand over your SMS number "for your protection" - it comes across as a threat. Blizzard have had the ability to "hardware ban" players for years, so it seems disingenuous, and prevents many people from being able to play at all.

    Provide that, and you move to a cinematic, but... unlike the beautifully rendered big screen experiences we've come to love    Overwatch 2 opens by demanding you hand over your SMS number "for your protection" - it comes across as a threat. Blizzard have had the ability to "hardware ban" players for years, so it seems disingenuous, and prevents many people from being able to play at all.

    Provide that, and you move to a cinematic, but... unlike the beautifully rendered big screen experiences we've come to love with Overwatch, it's a couple quick in-game shots and voice lines, the same vod as the advert for the game they're pushing everywhere... with four years of development it's a little disappointing and a harbinger of what's to come.

    Finish this, the next thing you encounter is a full screen popup advertising the battle pass... so let's start there.

    OW1 had lootboxes, yes, but much of the player community was pretty happy with them - play a few games each week and you could easily unlock every cosmetic item in the game, and players who played less had the option of spending a little money to unlock anything you didn't want to grind for.

    OW2 has a battle pass, it costs you $10 every 9 weeks and it's mostly full of garbage. Most tiers are voice lines or icons, or tiny "charms" that hang off your weapon that can't be seen in game. 75% of the battle pass items are "premium" only, and the "free" items are mostly trash, with a small number of recolour skins.

    Heroes are locked 2/3 into the battle pass (unless you pay) Premium items cannot be earned through gameplay, you HAVE to pay.

    The battle pass is the only form of progression, unlocking a new threshold brings up large notifications in the main menu, which require you to enter the battle pass and look at the premium items to clear. for a "free" player, 75% of the time this entails going to look at a "new" unlock that you don't even have.

    The battle pass has 80 tiers, and each tier requires 10k xp to clear - a match earns about 500xp, so if you were to try and clear 80 tiers of the battle pass through matches alone, you would need to complete 1600 matches, or about 18 matches EVERY DAY. You can of course clear levels more quickly by doing "daily challenges" that rotate each day - these provide up to 9000 xp per day and typically require about 5 matches.

    It's clear that OW2 is a game build heavily on FOMO - in order to "complete" the battle pass, a player realistically needs to play 3-5 games on 80 out of the 90 available days, the game demands your time or you lose content, even if you paid for the premium pass - this is the model blizzard are aiming for, they want OW2 to be your main game that you log into every day, and the more you invest, the more sunk cost you have, and the more willing you will be to open your wallet to unlock content that you're constantly reminded will go away if you don't.

    Coupled with this, there's a rather subtle, and nefarious mechanic - "lifetime challenges" - many of these are trivially easy to clear, which means your first couple of seasons will clear through the battle pass more quickly, making it appear more reasonable, but as those one-time completion challenges dry up, you'll find you have to play more and more to complete the battle pass each season.

    So... you're intended to play every day, continually, AND open your wallet, or you "miss" content forever. It's an aggressive and abusive system designed to squeeze long time fans for every cent until they burn out and quit.

    -----

    Gameplay wise, the game's feel is very different. Hit registration and hit boxes are all over the place, and even very experienced players are complaining that aiming with hitscan "feels" bad now, it's difficult to pin down, but shots that look like they should hit miss, and shots that look like they should miss hit - With a significant increase in damage to non-tanks, skirmishes often feel like a crapshoot.

    In addition to this, the game is far worse in terms of optimization than before, choppy stuttering animations and lag do not make for a good experience, the changes to lighting and rendering shaders give scenery and characters alike a very uniform plastic texture, resulting in enemies and allies blending into the scenery and being harder to spot in a pinch... Long story short, it feels bad to play.

    The balance of teamfights is also shot, with tanks being nearly impossible to kill (especially if they're being healed) and everyone else dying almost instantly, play feels especially lacklustre as a healer, because it's almost impossible for a DPS or support to "be injured" but alive, restricting the pair of healers to either pocketing the tank and hoping they know what they're doing, or running their supports as discount DPS characters.

    Not to mention the constant bugs, server issues, and generally lazy feel to much of the new design, the replacement of the (generally good) assault mode with the abysmal push mode, or weird UI and sound.

    Some of the good in OW1 remains, but every change to OW1 in OW2 feels like a downgrade.    … Expand

    Not only did they get rid of Overwatch 1 in favor of this EARLY ACCESS game, they removed features and, while graphically beautiful, the UI is an absolute mess. Most games allow you to see if your low health by a red graphic that comes up on the edges of the screen. Overwatch 1 did it, OW2 does not. The game that was touted as the PvE version of Overwatch, with a lot of in-game lore, story missions, hero levels and skill trees, not even there yet. They ceased production on Overwatch 1 so they could focus on overwatch 2, they weren't making the amount of money they wanted, so they said "Oh, we need money. Lets get rid of Overwatch 1 and only have Overwatch 2 Early Access available, this way we can bombard the player base with the worst battle pass ever that doesn't award in-game currency so if they want skins, they have to pay money OR grind for months in order to get a skin. Oh yeah, lets not forget that the skins we have in the battle-pass are pretty bad except for the mythic skin at max level. I'm sure they'll enjoy it."

    Word of warning, even thought most people know this. This company has lost its vision for Overwatch as a team-based hero shooter. it is now a deathmatch with secondary objectives. Most of the original developers have left the company and the game is now under a new vision. That vision being $$$. They do not care for their player-base or for their game. There is no passion here anymore.

    If you want a deathmatch game then this game is for you. The gameplay is relatively fun, even thought most of the hero roster needs to be tuned. It plays well and there is a fast(er) TTK for everything below 250 health. One-shots exist, not only from DPS but from one of the tanks and the game rewards quick feet (sometimes). 1/10 for the visuals.    … Expand

When you were eventually able to join the server you were kicked you out of competitive games. Everything is monetised. Everything. I’m fully behind supporting the game, however, when the game is released and there are so many issues and bugs - there is absolutely no incentive to support it. The legendary skins are ‘meh’ and just rehashed versions of each other. If you do want to grind out battle pass items they take an absurdly long time and are quite honestly trash anyway.

    There are massive balance issues. Orisa literally cannot be killed. Stick a mercy pocket on her and she just absorbs damage all game long. Zarya can use three bubbles on herself and instantly get 100 charge. While shields were an issue in Overwatch, the single tank dynamic doesn’t work in my opinion. Characters like Ana and Zen are too vulnerable to the likes of long range DPS like Ashe or solider. The new interfaces look horrible, cheap and basic. For example, the leaderboards while in a game are uninformative and encourage toxicity. Overwatch was always meant to be a team game, focusing on team work and not individualism. The partnership with Activision has become immediately clear with a focus on things like leaderboards. My main gripe comes with many beloved features of Overwatch 1 that seem to have went AWOL, namely being on fire and the board at the end of a game where you could vote for team mates or players you played against. I could go on and on, but overwatch can’t even be considered a shadow of overwatch 1.    … Expand

Instead, it feels like a significant update or an unfinished new game. The worst part of it is the microtransaction approach it takes, the battle pass. Now, I would essentially buy a new 60$ game every time I purchase three new skins. The battle pass tries to get people to buy it at the beginning rather than the end by promising a boost in battle pass experience. This is because Blizzard knows that most people will not make it to the end of the battle pass in any case and will not get the best cosmetics. So, they try to get people to buy it impulsively or to commit all their free time to the game in hopes that they get the best cosmetics. I am not going to essentially rebuy the old game for new cosmetics. Sure you get some free cosmetics through play but they are generally terrible and not something that anyone would care to have. There is very little reward for playing now. Why play a game that does not reward time investment as it did in the past when you could play a game that does? If two games are both fun why not play the one that is also rewarding? Overwatch 2 is dead to me since it is clearly a monetary black hole.… Expand

Whoever did the writing didn’t treat them like characters but like stereotypes, which makes me shudder to think how the ‘story mode’ is going to go if just the voice lines in gameplay is flat. The visualls are chaotic , and very hard to look at when you’re fighting team v team. I don’t really care about the battle pass stuff because I’m very picky about skins and am happy with the ones I have, but it is disheartening to see how much you’d have to play just for ONE skin. Can you imagine being a new player and seeing that you have to play for 8 /MONTHS/ before you can get a skin?? I much prefer lootboxes, it was fun and easy and everyone could get one without dropping money. And this is just a personal thing but I think so far that the new skins are not well designed. They look like leftover character designs that got scrapped, not intentionally designed skins. I don’t care about the battle pass, because I don’t care about the rewards, they’re not attractive or fun enough to be worth caring about. Kinda like this game as a whole as it stands.

    Interesting ideas weakened by some 5v5 epiphany they thought would solve everything but really didn't. I think a lot of "pro" reviewers have been fooled by the shortcut that was taken here, which just creates a QP-trash style deathmatch scrum on the PL where the game devolves to 2 healers desperately keeping the one tank alive while trying to not die themselves since there's no time for peeling. if the DPS even moderately suck and can't find health packs, or the tank forgets part of their kit, it's game over.

    And it's all wrapped in corporate F2P bull**** and a launch that just wasn't well-prepared because, for some reason, the shareholders wanted to see this live NOW NOW NOW. Nope, maybe later, and good luck with the stock portfolios.

    Blizz has simply lost the basics. They're now also lost in "putting out fires" without realizing some of the more fundamental problems with this reboot...

    Battle pass : Pourquoi changer un système qui fonctionnait très bien avant ? Pour avoir joué à Overwatch 1, le système de lootbox était très bien, il permettait aux joueurs qui ne jouent pas souvent de pouvoir "faire les coffres" en gagnant 9 parties en Arcade.

    Battle pass :

    Pourquoi changer un système qui fonctionnait très bien avant ? Pour avoir joué à Overwatch 1, le système de lootbox était très bien, il permettait aux joueurs qui ne jouent pas souvent de pouvoir "faire les coffres" en gagnant 9 parties en Arcade. Ces coffres permettaient d'avoir de l’argent et de pouvoir acheter le skin souhaité.

    Maintenant, il faut spam les games pour monter le battlepass sans possibilité de choisir la récompense voulu. Je ne parle même pas ici du déblocage du nouveau héro dans le battle pass. Bref le battlepass pénalise les joueurs occasionnels ou qui ne peuvent/veulent pas jouer toute la journée au jeu.

    Voice line :

    Toutes les voix des personnages ne sont pas toutes localisées en France. Cela montre le serieu du déroulement du projet Overwatch 2 pour lequel ils ont mis en pause Overwatch 1 pendant un lonnnng moment.

    Gameplay :

    Supprimer tous les stun du jeu, c'est bien, mais j'ai l'impression qu'il n'ont pas eu le temps de réadapter tous les personnages. Certains personnages ont donc des spells useless.

    D'un côté, il supprime entièrement des mécanique de gameplay et de l'autre, il laisse des personnages comme moira AKA l'aspirateur faire toujours autant de dégâts avec une facilité de AIM qui frôle l'assistanat. Je ne comprends pas.

    Le mode arcade à quoi sert il maintenant ? Maintenant, c'est anecdotique.

    Sortie du jeu :

    Gros problème serveur comme depuis des années sur Overwatch 1 à chaque event (Il ne faut pas en vouloir à blizzard c'est leur premier jeu en ligne), de l'argent et des skin qui disparaisse et maintenant deux personnages retirés pour une durée indéterminée parce que bugger. Bref un beau bazar bien comique.

    Absence du mode solo pourtant la raison de la sortie d'Overwatch 2 de base ....

    Conclusion :

    Pourquoi pas avoir fait une mise à jour majeur comme d'autres jeu de l'industrie ? Pourquoi les joueurs ayant acheté le 1 à l'époque sont obligé de switcher sur leurs F2P avec battle pass parce que les serveurs du 1 ont fermé ? Pour quelques map, le retrait d'un joueur par équipe et deux nouveaux personnages ? Sans blague blizzard essaye encore et toujours de se faire de la tune sur le dos de leurs fans.    … Expand

    The horrible launch of this game was one thing, but the monetization and removal of previously existing content were the two things that really made me hate this game. I loved Overwatch 1 a whole lot. I put like 500+ hours into it, and I don’t see myself putting any more than 3 hours in OW2 until they change the monetization and add back some of the iconic maps that are gone now.

My biggest issue is definitely the monetization, since the game charges you a whole $12,000+ for all the content that could be unlocked for free in Overwatch 1. It also requires you to grind more than 50 total WINS per week sometimes in order to complete all the weekly challenges, which only nets you a total of 60 coins. That’s enough to get one legendary skin if you grind consecutively for 32 weeks. **** that. It totally puts me off of this game that I once loved because now I can’t even unlock new **** without shilling out tons and tons of money to a company already worth $68.7 billion dollars. I don’t like this game at all. I miss Overwatch 1.… Expand

    The game is very poorly optimized. The worst thing is that the support forums do not help you and do not give you a solution.

    This is not really a game, just a mess. I played Overwatch 1 for 4 years. I came back for OW2, and I was surprised to see the insane lack of new contents : 6 characters and that's it. 9 maps out of 10 are exactly the same as OW1 years ago.....
    But they managed to twist the game for the worst :
    -We used to have FREE lootboxes with plenty of cosmetics and skins every time we leveled up.    This is not really a game, just a mess. I played Overwatch 1 for 4 years.

    But they managed to twist the game for the worst :
    -We used to have FREE lootboxes with plenty of cosmetics and skins every time we leveled up. Now even a mere taf costs 10$ .... Instead we have a crappy Battle pass that rewards you with a lame Winston skin and if you play for 2 months every day you get a McCree's skin lol ..... Sooo pathetic.
    - You have to PAY to play the lastest champion Kiriko .... Imagine if you had to pay real money on LoL to play the latest champ. So unless you play for months to reach level 55, you need to pay real money for a champion.
    - It's one of these dumb games where a premade party of 5 players can be matched with 5 individual players in RANKED games. So if you play alone in ranked, you can NOT carry 4 individual guys if you are against even average players but playing together. In League of Legends, parties are limited to 2 in ranked games. If you wanna play with 5 players, there is a dedicated game mode. But Activision doesn't understand this ....
    - Lots of deconnections, even though i have fiber. Sometimes my whole party gets DC at the same time, so it's got to be their servers ....
    -Glitches, you go through wall, some trophies/achievements won't unlock even if you meet the requirement (hello Sigma's ultimate)
    - The game is still unbalanced asf. In 9 ranked games out of 10, there is a DVa/Zyra/Orisa. Winston is absolutely useless. In 9 games out of 10, there is a Sojourn/Sombra/Soldier. In 9 games out of 10, there is a Mercy/Zenyatta/Lucio. Brigitte is totally useless.
    So clearly they ruined the original game by focusing so much on easy money with a crappy battlepass like Fallguys and totally abandonned the gameplay and the game mechanics as well as the servers. I feared that with Microsoft buying Activision, the quality of the game would drop like everything Microsoft touches, but here it's an understatement. From a very fun yet not perfect OW1, we got a lazy mediocre pay-to-get-anything OW2.    … Expand

Его переработали, сделали из него имбу и, что вы думаете? Близард его пофиксил первым патчем? Нет. Его просто вырезали. Из игры. Такой вот курс близард теперь.
    Про МОНИТИЗАЦИЮ...
    Вот был у вас овервоч 1, в котором вы могли получить все скины просто играя и особо не напрягаясь, особенно если у вас не было цели получить совершенно все, а только пару скинов на любимых персонажей. Забудьте. Теперь вас принудительно пересаживают на овервоч 2 (хотя обещали, что это будут параллельные игры) и заставляют либо платить по 10$ за СКИН или потратить чуть больше ПОЛУГОДА на то чтобы его выфармить. Просто на заметку, чтобы получить весь контент за донатную (можно получить просто играя (нет)) валюту вам нужно потратить 120000$ или 470 лет. И это при том, что столько стоят даже скины из первой части.
    Теперь вы не сможете получить нового героя не купив батл пас или не позадротив на него. Купите - получите сразу. Не купите - потратите тонну времени на прокачку половины батлпаса. Пей ту вин здравствуй.
    Лор
    Для меня это самая больная тема. Первый Овер я полюбил за лор, ролики, намеки в игре и тд. Помните, как у каждого лорного костюма было описание его истории? Забудьте. Лора в игре больше не будет, судя по всему. На сайте раньше было обширное описание мира вселенной овервоч, а теперь пара строк. Костюмы больше не имеют истории. Новые карты - это просто карты. У вас нет никакой исторической привязки.
    Курс близард понятен. Сделать донатную дрочильню помойку с ориентированием на богатых детишек, которым не куда деньги девать.
    Причем было бы пол беды, если бы с таким же усердием, с каким они сделали донат, старались бы над балансом. Сейчас баланса в игре нет. Многие персонажи откровенно бесполезны в новом обличии геймплея. Не думаю, что становится лучше будет, к сожалению. Думаю, что метелица загубила очередную серию, некогда созданную ветеранами и гениями студии, ныне ее покинувшими (и наверное к лучшему).    … 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.
