    Worst company in the gaming industry, do not support them! Removes the games you have bought just to force you to play their sequel. There is no other gaming company that uses as disgusting business practices as Blizzard. Avoid their games like the plague.

    A piecemeal game, cut in shreds that you can never own completely, paying to play shards of a copy of a game that was good in 2016.

    I especially love it when I buy a game, then the dev delete my game, adds a 2 next to it, makes it worse and then tries to get me to pay to play it.

    They had a winner and squandered it. Shame too, I, as many others, have fond memories of Overwatch.

To void my purchase of overwatch in the name of a sequel that promised substantial PVE content, to then scrap the whole thing and leave us with the same game minus a ton of features, with the addition a ridiculously priced cosmetics store and a half assed battlepass is beyond anti consumer. I don’t know what’s going on with blizzard but to be honest I don’t care to find out. What i know for a fact is that you cannot invest in any of their games, if you want to play them for free go ahead, but my advice would be to not buy cosmetics, battlepass, etc because they can kill a game with no warning. It happened with Heroes of the Storm, it happened with Hearthstone Mercenaries, and now it’s happening to Overwatch. As consumers we deserve better.… Expand

    When Overwatch came out years ago I automatically fell in love with the game. it was my first fps game, over the years the game just got worse and worse to the point in which it was not fun anymore, so i eventually stopped playing. when Overwatch 2 was announced i took it with a grain of salt since blizzard is as smart as a rock in the desert.

The disconnect between the people in charge and the consumer is obvious and of course the same can be said about overwatch 2.

    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.
