    They got rid of end game cards... you may think it doesn't have a affect but it does. The best social aspect of the game, gone. I played Halo Infinite and I stopped because it lacked a moment to just communicate with fellow players.

    Overwatch 2 is a terribly done Game which I find funny since it’s pretty much Overwatch 1 but not by much, it had a rocky launch but that does not affect the overall quality of the Game but what does is the horrible balancing and unnecessary changes/additions Blizzard has done to each Role.

Almost every single Tank is now too OP, specifically Orisa and she was fine back in OW1 so I don’t get the change. DPS Heroes like Gengi are a bit broken now, Pharah surprisingly has been known to be way more infuriating now and a lot of people can say “Just get good” or whatever, Pharah is the only Hero in the entire Game to be able to fly freely. Heroes like D.Va and Echo can fly too but not as passively like Pharah does and the amount of Damage Pharah deals is ridiculous to the point it is super easy for the Player to get a Solo Team Kill just as Pharah alone with her Ultimate, I never seen or had that happen back in OW1 yet here she is now broken. Other heroes I can name would be Moira and Doomfist, Doomfist becoming a Tank is now more annoying due to the additional health he receives as a Tank and the additional ability being able to block Attacks receiving no Damage whatsoever which “clearly” isn’t more annoying enough if a good Doomfist Player can practically zoom past everyone in the Map using his abilities alone whilst completing decimating everyone and Moira as a Support hero is fine, only issue is I think Blizzard needs to tune down how much Damage she deals now through her primary weapon and either nerf or remove her Biotic Orbs since the vast majority of Players will be using Moira as a third DPS Hero rather than an actual support making it. So many Games I have played as my favourite DPS and Support Heroes I have gotten my Health from 200 completely destroyed to 0 just by her Orbs alone, the fact I write this annoys me slightly more knowing that Blizzard already is acting so ignorant and refuses to do more hero balancing until the start of Season 2. Meaning as of the time I write this, we have 50 more days (according to the Battle Pass) before we get actual correct balancing in the Game to have it at least more enjoyable and not have players in a fit of rage against these broken heroes, this Game CAN definitely be good and I would love to see Overwatch 2 succeed but right now it is hard to see this, if it were not for the Battle Pass and the very first Mythic Skin in this Game, I would not play this until Season 2. Blizzard to me is very incompetent and ignorant, not sure if I can they are these things since the beginning or since they have been Activision Blizzard, my personal recommendation to anyone reading this, if you are considering on playing this Game please wait until Season 2, if you will find the same Heroes as I mentioned to be as infuriating to play against then be sure to realise Blizzard will not do anything until Season 2 begins… Expand

    Чуть что идет не так, они просто выходят из игры. И все бы ничего, если бы они варились дальше в своих бронзах, но, как я описал выше, играть вы с ними будете даже будучи в высокой голде, что убирает вообще надобность ранговой системы как таковой.
    Нафига мне гриндить ранг, если я так и буду играть с имбицилами из нижней лиги, которые ничего не понимают, ливают и просто руинят игры.
    Обладателям оригинала просто поводили хером по губам. Могли бы, хотя бы для виду, первый батл пас отдать им бесплатно. Но нет...это же близы 2022. Высрали какие-то два костюма и считают это невероятным бонусом.
    Абсолютно все в игре задрочено на то, чтобы им вносили бабки. Старые добрые времена, когда можно было получить что угодно просто играя в игру пропали. Никакой бонусной золотой валюты обладателям оригинала кстати тоже не занесли.
    Кол-во нового контента вызывает просто слезы. Они добавили две новых карты в абсолютно ущербном новом режиме, но при этом убрали херову тонну старых карт. Более чем уверен, что они будут их возвращать под видом нового контента в будущих патчах.

    Thanks for taking my 60$ that I paid for a decent piece of game art in 2016 and morphing one of my favourite games into free-to-play garbage with the battlepass. If you wanted money less badly and at least cared about fans you could have left the original game playable. The whole situation is just a spit to the fan's faces and we will never forget it.

Я чекав свят, щоб я міг зіграти в свої улюблені ігри (зимові, ммм), щоб залутати з кейсику скін-пінгвінчик на Мей, я запрошував друзів, та дарував їм цю чудову гру. В мене дуже багато чудових спогадів, і вони неймовірні.

    Отож, з свого    Я почав грати Overwatch 1 - 4 роки назад, я получав задоволення від кожної хвилини в цій чудовій грі, я хвалив Blizzard, я радів івентам та оновленням. Я чекав свят, щоб я міг зіграти в свої улюблені ігри (зимові, ммм), щоб залутати з кейсику скін-пінгвінчик на Мей, я запрошував друзів, та дарував їм цю чудову гру. В мене дуже багато чудових спогадів, і вони неймовірні.

    Отож, з свого досвіду я навмисне чекав місяць після випуску Overwatch 2 перед тим, як зайти в гру.
    Настільки я розчарований не був ніколи. Blizzard, ви що, зовсім знахабніли? Чому я повинен терпіти черги в 400 людей (станом на 25.10.22), чому я повинен терпіти чітерів в "Своїх Іграх", чому я повинен платити гроші щоб отримати наліпки, скіни, та пози? Що за абсурд?
    Я що, скачав Overwatch Idle Game, щоб гріндити сезон заради легендарки?
    Баланс? Хлопці, такого дизбалансу між недавно випущеними героями та тими, що вже були в грі - я давно не бачив. Це абсолютний крах.
    Я ніколи не вважав що нове це погано, думав що варто пристосовуватись до змін, та бачити в новому - краще, навіть якщо до цього треба звикнути. Але до ТАКОГО нового - я не зможу звикнути ніколи. Моє сердце розривається, бо цієї лампової атмосфери, цього коммюніті (признаємо всі разом, коли гра безплатна - настає крах адекватному коммюніті), цих мурашок по шкірі від легендарки в кейсі та збирання монеток на День Народження OW щоб купити собі цей гарненький скін - цього всього вже не буде.
    Так, можливо для ньюкамерсів гра буде хорошою, скоріш за все саме на це Blizzardи і розраховують, бо значно простіше впарити новому покупцю "бублик з гімна", аніж впарити це ж саме тим, хто вже бачив справжній бублик.

    Так, ви залишили основний "бублик" з OW 1, дали нам наші скіни з попередньої частини, але одночасно пихаєте нам "гімно" яке приліпили до OW 2, і ви щиро хочете щоб ми це їли. Але друзі, до доброго звикається дуже швидко, а до поганого - ніколи.
    Дякую, я розчарований. Я не заплачу вам ні копійки, Blizzard, за цю гру.

    Overwatch 2 is a sorry excuse for a sequel, acting as an update to the original game rather than a new release. The launch was rough as queue times were comically long, making even playing the game a challenge. When you reach the end of the queue, you are hit with the realisation that the game is, on the whole, almost the same as the original.

    The change to 5v5 for casual and    Overwatch 2 is a sorry excuse for a sequel, acting as an update to the original game rather than a new release. The launch was rough as queue times were comically long, making even playing the game a challenge. When you reach the end of the queue, you are hit with the realisation that the game is, on the whole, almost the same as the original.

    The change to 5v5 for casual and competitive matches has many players conflicted. While it removes the previous issue of shields dominating the field, the removal of a tank per team makes every character even more vital to a team's performance. In addition, the lack of a secondary tank causes players to revolve around the single remaining one, causing many matches to feel like a battle of two "blobs" rather than a constantly evolving, flanking environment. Since there is no second tank to absorb damage, support characters are now mostly left to fend for themselves, causing the role to feel bloated in terms of responsibilities. The maps seem to adjust to this new team layout however, which is quite welcome.

    The monetisation for this game feels more greedy, pushy and downright exploitative of players starting in this entry. Removing loot boxes to make way for a battle pass removes what made the game feel unique, and also stops players from regularly getting content for free. The generous nature of Overwatch 1's loot box system, despite being predatory and a form of gambling, allowed players to receive random cosmetics by playing the game, making the inventory of every player unique. The linear nature of the battle pass will funnel players down the same cosmetic loop until they save up enough credits to buy a skin from the shop, while also filling up each player's inventory with filler items they will likely never use.

    The player never feels rewarded for their gameplay, too. The developers removed the old persistent level feature, replacing it with the battle pass levels. This defeats the purpose of the original system. Battle pass tiers are temporary, meaning that a player will not feel as rewarded for consistent play time. The challenge system also fails to deliver any sense of reward. Weekly challenges give a measly 60 credits upon completing every challenge, which in themselves are challenging for causal players without much time to spend. Buying a legendary skin takes 32 weeks given that the player completes every weekly challenge, which is horrific compared to the previous loot box system where you had a chance to obtain a legendary skin almost every time you played.

    Disregarding the monetisation and progression changes, which are negative changes to a once great game, Overwatch 2 feels less like a sequel and more of a major update. The gameplay is generally quite fun, feeling polished and responsive. The stylised graphics feel unique and almost wonderful. But the same could be said for the original. I would be inclined to rate this slightly higher, but Blizzard's desire to treat its player base like exploitable human wallets quells any desire to do so. In the future, Blizzard may revert some of the removed features and bring back a rewarding progression system, however, until then, this game will feel like a hollow shell of a once great multiplayer shooter.    … Expand

This is Overwatch 0.4 since they are actively removing things that worked and ignoring obvious problems like balance of characters.

Other then this the game is great and all thou the game for me like its BUILD for TWO tanks instead of one its okay as well I guess but OW will never be the same as it was before and until the devs get it and revert it all back with all the good (as little as there are) changes to the game I will not be playing.

    RIP to OW1, a much better-polished game. OW2 is entirely unplayable. It feels like they were going in the right direction for OW1 with OW2, they took a giant leap backward. Catering to professional play also doesn't help either. Now that it is free please don't waste money on it. It used to be fun now it's unfortunately tedious at most.

    My personal bias is that I don't like Overwatch. Overwatch 2 is just worse, and made me wish I hadn't sunk in any time into. The only new thing is the characters locked behind grinding a battle pass, and skins that aren't even phenomenal being overpriced. Everything is behind a micro transaction, it's an actual cash grab.

There's absolutely nothing special about skins you buy in the shop, if anything I think the Ow1 skins had more personality than the skins now. 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. I could've gotten married, had kids, and died happy not knowing overwatch existed. Now I'm burdened with the knowledge that there's a sequel.… 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.

    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.

This is easily one of the biggest scams in video games history.

That’s not the only issue with the game, but it’s my main concern as an original OW player. This game gets very boring so fast since there's no progression, there's no point on continue playing anymore. Free to play doesn’t mean you can abuse your users like that. We won’t support future Overwatch leagues and their sponsors.… Expand

    At it's core it's the same game except some removed game modes, one add mode and competitive being changed from a 6v6 to a 5v5 without properly rebalancing for it. The planned story mode was a bait and switch lie with what little pve story stuff coming likely (speculated) to be just what they have been doing before, only out for anniversary and not available year round.

    There has been no real improvements since launch. The progression's emphasis on the terrible battlepass and store that is somehow WORSE than halo infinite's. Avoid at all costs.    … Expand

    Pretty bad game overall, needs to be renamed to Overspam 2. All you do is spam bullets and hope someone dies in your spam. No tactical gameplay at all and even winning does not feel satisfying in this game. What a sad time for gaming.

    Can I have my Overwatch 1 back?

    I can understand when a dead game goes Free2Play, or a game goes Free2Play and stays relatively the same.

    But they took away a good $40 game, abandoned it years ago... just to force people into this turd. Shame.

    5V5 is not working, in the past when you had one idiot in your team you still had a chance to win it, now if you have 1 idiot it means the game is over before it even starts.

    This is a business model change marketed as a new game. Blizzard wanted to make more $$$ off of OW1. They made the game 5v5, took away everyone’s access to OW1 (a game people paid for), and created the most utterly awful and greedy cosmetic paywall + grind ever in a F2P game. Shame on you, Blizzard.

    I hope taking a patch and just calling it a sequel - "Game 2" doesn't become a normal thing. This is the same damn game; this is not a sequel. I've seen games get bigger regular patch updates. Many of the changes actually make the game worse.

    It's such a tragedy how low Blizzard has fallen since their early days.

    I have about 2000 hours of OW1. This isn't a sequel. It's a monetization overhaul marketed as a sequel. It's a blatant cash grab by a garbage company wearing the shell of the now-dead Blizzard. Don't even bother downloading it. Even if it's free, it's more than you can afford.

    Disgusting F2P tactics deviating from the original OW formula in order to appeal to the 12yo Fortnite fanbase that can only afford "free" games while begging their parents for their credit card in order to buy ridiculously expensive skins and dances when hooked after licking the free ice-cream.

    There is absolutely no upgrade from the original OW. Everything looks and feels the same.    Disgusting F2P tactics deviating from the original OW formula in order to appeal to the 12yo Fortnite fanbase that can only afford "free" games while begging their parents for their credit card in order to buy ridiculously expensive skins and dances when hooked after licking the free ice-cream.

    There is absolutely no upgrade from the original OW. Everything looks and feels the same. They just slapped "2" next to the name as a marketing strategy because they decided to make the game F2P after the player-base died. I paid 60$ for OW1 and they removed it, so for owners of OW1 this is absolutely not a free game. We paid for it, and now we are forced to pay again through their awful and predatory battle-pass system if we want to get something as simple as an Emote.

    Everything is now locked behind ridiculous grinding and absurd weekly "challenges" that ask you to invest hours upon hours to complete them because they are based on luck (e.g., get 20 team kills). You need to pay 20 euro for a skin-recolor, or farm for 8 MONTHS to get it for "free." The supposed "free" rewards from the Battle-pass are joke-sprays and useless voice-lines. All the real things are locked behind the premium pay-wall that, upon completion, doesn't even give you your money/currency back (to invest it in the next Battle-pass). Essentially you need a bi-monthly subscription to play the game, as there is nothing to strive for in the "free" part of the Battle-pass.

    The new "free" players that joined are entirely oblivious to FPSs and make games very frustrating. They cannot DPS, they cannot flank, they cannot heal. They pick Moira and play her like its Call of Duty. The awful matchmaking system pairs these new users with existing veterans, making each match a steamroll. You either get destroyed and can't even leave the spawn room, or you entirely destroy the enemy team. There is no in-between. This makes games frustrating as you can lose 10 games in a row just like that.

    Overall, a disgusting re-release by Blizzard/Activision/ Microsoft (or whatever company they sold themselves to nowadays). They turned a paid-game into a Freemium cow ready to be milked before it dies under the pretense that this is some sort of "update" or a big "overhaul."    … Expand

    The game is just not fun. Matchmaking is awful. Trying to rank up is atrocious. Former 7 season GM from season 1 - 7 and I cannot get out of gold. If I try to grind, it takes days and days. It just doesn't have the fun of a valorant or CS GO

    A perfectly good game that has been ruined by corporate greed and incompetent designers. 5v5 rebalance feels abysmal to play, monetization is now something straight out of Diablo Immoral, and half the features from the original game are missing. And the absolute worst thing is that Overwatch 1 had to die for this abomination. This is Warcraft 3 Refunded all over again.

    Gross monetization. Extremely gross. I've known for a while that Blizzard isn't the company it once was. The moment they got in bed with Activision I knew it was over. But I still had hope.... now I don't. Screw you Activision, you destroy everything you touch.

    The interface has removed OW1 players prestige icons, removed the ability to continue working toward them, so if you were an OW1 player with a gold or diamond portrait icon, we'll never know.

    The gameplay doesn't feel anything like OW1, and instead feels more like Apex or Valorant, which is fine, but not what drew many players to this team centric FPS.

    Oh, and the PVE doesn't exist. Maybe we'll see that in OW3.    … 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.
