    Game is unplayable. First few days it was login queues and server disconnects, next few days it was bugged heros and unlocks. Now you can't even start games even if you do manage to login.

    Honestly I loved Overwatch 1, I played daily with friends for years, I have the gaming light, I must have about 10+ Funko pops, I had almost every skin, I even worked in an open kitchen and would speak to random customers about gaming and Overwatch, add them on battletag, game with them and make new friends.
    On week 1 to maybe about a month in on Overwatch 2 me and about 5+ friends quit

    On week 1 to maybe about a month in on Overwatch 2 me and about 5+ friends quit for good (I've came back once or twice but literally leave after a game or 2)

    I went from looking forward to playing the game almost daily with friends for YEARS, to literally having 0 desire to login. Skipped the Halloween event and Christmas event which normally I'd really look forward to 'New skins' etc.

    I always wanted OW1 classic to come back but now with the news after FOUR + years of announcing PVE you cancel it, I don't want anything to do with this game or company again,

    Honestly a MASSIVE **** YOU to Blizzard, completely destroyed something that was great and removed it for everyone despite us all paying money for it........... Absolute criminal

    5v5 is not fun, overwatch has become a generic fps and not a strategical hero game with tanks, support and dps. It feels really, really dull/boring. Such a shame as I loved ow1 and no longer have access to it. Oh well, didn't expect anything less from blizzard tbh. Awful company and awful game. 0/0

    I rather go back to Overwatch 1 if i could.

    The greed and just overwhelming lack of New content is mindblowing.

    "The world could always use more heroes"

    Yeah if you have a fat sack of money every 3 months otherwise screw you here is your second job.

    Also the main selling point of the game is canceled so i don't see a reason to even bother to play anymore.

They want you to pay for pve content that they canceled and then added what had been created up to that point in episodes that are limited time only unless bought. We lost archives for this, which was one of the best events in the game. There is no denying how much Blizzard does not care about their player base now. 6 years and this is the worst state the game has ever been in. How the mighty has fallen. I would give it a -10 now if i could.

    Original: I was one of the few that could play at launch and honestly as a long time gamer of overwatch/apex legends/fortnight blizzard completely dropped the ball on this. There is no real reward for playing anymore, the battle pass is worse then halos attempt, the ui leaves much to be desired, and while I understand the loot box argument, I think getting rid of it completely was one of the stupidest things they did. While moving to 5v5 was the right thing to do since I hated the double shield meta, the decrease in kill time has turned it in to a dps rush, good one v ones has turned in to whoever gets the first hit usually wins and as a healer you will feel useless trying to keep anything up that’s targeted by 2 people or more. Also, due to kill time now sombra/tracers are unaposed going after healers/backend, you will just auto die and most healers do not have the dps to defend themselves anymore. Due to all the changes games have become very lopsided, You either run over the opposing team or get run over. Team kills, which used to be rare in OW1, are now common and demoralizing. As for new maps, they are ambitious and too big for this pace of gameplay, you will not see 1/2 of them since your all but required to stay as a pack now to win any fights. Finally the monetization is as bad as EA Star Wars battlefield 2. It’s like blizzard got a list of everything that pissed off gamers over the past 5 years and put it in this game. Officially petitioning for OW1 back, double shield meta and all. They had so much to look at when making this game and ignored it all.

Every critic that gave this game above a 50, oh wait, that's literally all of them, should never be allowed to review so much as a candy bar again. A slug could do your job better. You would be ashamed of yourselves if you had the neurons required to experience human emotion. Also the fact that Metacritic still has the trailer up that was a complete LIE used to sucker people into buying the battle pass in anticipation for the PVE, is disgraceful. Expand

    Overwatch 2 is unfortunately a big downgrade in terms of the original Overwatch, ok it's free to play but they took away so much only to add the bare minimum. I understand why they made changes to the game-play, that isn't my issue.

    Some of my issue's with the game are: removed game mode, maps, find a group feature, the grind and cost required to unlock cosmetics (I personally, would rather they earn my money by releasing a new game every few years instead of a battle pass system), bugs of the original game are still present (which makes me think OW2 literally was just a big update). No option to play the original, Broken hero's, Broken game modes (in Total Mayhem, Zarya literally has unlimited bubbles so cannot die, meaning the only time the game ends is when Zarya gets bored with spamming shift)

    It's sad because Overwatch, the lore, the hero's, the animated shorts are all amazing. I have played Overwatch as my go-to game for years with friends, and now we are looking for a replacement, it's kind of heartbreaking, it feels like we have lost something, instead of gaining more of what we loved.

    This isn't me review bombing, It's honetly how I feel. No new content for years... for this. Shame on you Blizzard.

    Todas as estretagias que vc criou e desenvolveu durante esses anos no OW1 com seus amigos, esquece, sumiram, removeram todos os CC do jogo, escudos são inexistentes praticamente.

    Se vc for jogar de tank, tu vai ter que fazer 1000 funções diferentes, carregar/defender o objetivo, proteger os suportes, "tankar" pro time tudo isso sem escudo, boa sorte.

    Fator Teamplay não existe, aqls combos irados que tinha no OW1 não existem, a ideia é vc jogar para seu DPS e torcer pra ele matar todo mundo.

    Você só vai se divertir se jogar de Dano, e com razão, o estado lamentavel do game se da aos players de DPS choramingando durante esses 5 anos no ouvido da Blizzard, agora ta ai o resultado, só eles jogam.

    Suportes foram nerfados tbm, com a remoção de 1 tank colateralmente os suportes são nerfados, viraram alvos + faceis já que não tem um tank dedicado a proteger eles, o tempo de recarga de ult é maior já q a Blizzard teve a maldita ideia de por redução de % nos tanks, agr os sups carregam -30% a ult curando Tanks.

    Many fan favorite maps were removed as well as a game mode. The battle pass is slow and costs money while also keeping new characters locked until you reach a high enough tier.

    Getting enough in game currency for a single legendary skin without paying money takes at least eight months. Buying legendary skins isn’t a good option either seeing as each legendary skin costs $20.

    They removed many positive community features (such as voting best player at the end of a match and endorsing opponents).

    I also have had multiple bugs that interfered with game play. For example, one game I had a bug where a choke point was filled with a black mass of triangles jutting out in all directions. I could walk through it but couldn’t see anything.

    All of this is only an issue if you can even get into the game though. It took me anywhere between 1-3 hours just to get in the few times I played.

    I loved overwatch but overwatch 2 is unplayable for me. I’m immensely upset with blizzard for ruining such a beloved game while also essentially deleting the original.

    The idiots who now run Activision/Blizzard basically ran any dev for the game out if they had integrity and wanted to make a good game, and what is left is a group who is dedicated to the corporate friendly, cashgrab, profits for shareholders model.
    Gone is one of the best IPs in gaming, OW1, which had amazing world and character design, fun team play, and awesome character lore, as slow as it was. OW2 is a shell of the former game, using the creativity of the first game to milk the players of every dime they can. Instead of another game you just buy, it's now a supposed Free-to-play model.

    What the Free to play model does is bring people in who didn't care to ever buy OW1 but now have a free game to mess around in, in the hopes that eventually the company will convince them to pay money. First, what this has done is ruined the matches, as a flood of players who don't care about the Overwatch team play now run rampant, trolling, throwing matches, feeding as badly played heroes, and taking any true competition out of the game.
    Next, you'd think eventually matchmaking would keep these players out of the games of people who are serious about playing Overwatch, but no. Activision has implemented matchmaking that purposely creates games where new and bad players are put with skilled players or higher level players to try to convince them that if they have all the cosmetics the longtime, good players have, they will win games. The monetized instead of skill based matchmaking creates terrible games where one team is always steamrolled into the ground with little effort.

    Monetization, in principal, wouldn't be bad. Yes, if the game is to have ongoing content, it will have to be paid for. But that's what the newly introduced battlepasses should be doing. Multiple times a year they want players to buy the battlepass to receive the cosmetics that once were earned through gameplay lootboxes and currency. Now that we've seen the battlebass system and prepaid for the first one, it's clear that they are creating cheap and low quality content (namecards, uninteresting voicelines, sprays you'll never use, "souvenirs") for the part of the game that should be keeping the game going, and have added a shop to put all of the cosmetics that players will ACTUALLY want behind a SECOND paywall. Not only is it bad enough that supporting the game through the battlepasses all year gets you none of the desired rewards, but the prices are insane. One character skin will run you $20-30, the price of many full games. And to ever earn enough of the currency you must have to buy one of these skins through the battlepass, it will take over 8 months.

    Now that they don't let you earn event skins, the first even which would have been "Halloween", is a hollow, repetitive PvE board that builds on the always recycled Junkenstein, except there's no point in really playing it after a few times. The fun of the events was always to play knowing you were earning the very well made skins, voicelines, sprays, ect, and it was exciting to get that lootbox every few games hoping you'd have a new unlock. Now all they are offering for grinding the PvE level is a couple sprays and a charm. The only two new skins aren't very good, and all of the previous years holiday skins are also now locked at at least $20 as well.

    Besides being the greedy, over-monetized version of the game created for shareholders, not players, the game has had nothing but problems since the launch. Even after two betas, the game came out with servers crashing, people getting logged out repeatedly if they ever got in, and glitching left and right. The game is again completely out of balance, with games being decided by the team that sticks with the few overpowered heroes. The buffs and nerfs they've given entire roles to "make the game more exciting" have left entire roles to be sitting ducks, because they are both told they have to play better but their characters are less powerful and die easier.
    The devs promised more measures against cheaters, troll players, toxic players, people who abandon matches, ect. Since the game started, it has been worse than the first game for all of these issues, and the devs are now silent about any of the promises they made. After the backlash of making players attach phone numbers to accounts to fight cheaters known as smurfs and other bad accounts, they immediately removed the requirement and all of the multiple accounts used by bad players to cheat were allowed to flood back into the new game. They are now present again in many games, and Blizzard hasn't said anything about ridding the game of these accounts in the OW2, just as they didn't in the first.

    Everything about OW2 is just bad and greedy game design in the clothing of the first Overwatch. Longtime players who loved the original game are being shoved aside for quick profit. Overwatch 2 is a mistake and will never live up to the original. Cheers, Love

    Now to mention everything they've removed and changed:
    - Removed player levels. No longer personal levels for your account to show off with. All experience goes to the damned 'Battle Pass', because everybody and their mother have to have a god damn Battle Pass in their game now.
    - Removed medals while in a game. Replaced with a generic stat screen, so everybody can see everybody's stats at all times, and immediately flame the correct person for doing poorly.
    - Removed the "On Fire" feature. Replaced with nothing.
    - Made everybody more squishy. Everybody dies in a moment, if you aren't paying attention for a nanosecond.
    - Removed Orisa's shield. Replaced with a spear(???). Reinhardt's shield was further nerfed, from it's original 2000 HP, to 1600 HP, to now being 1200 HP.
    - Removed 1 tank slot, so both teams max consist of 5 players, 1 being a tank. This kept in mind with the 2 above mentioned nerfs to at least 2 tanks, means the game is way more exposed than in OW1, making the squishy issue worse.
    - Made Moira's damage orb even more damage-y. If you didn't like one of your healers being damage-only, I have bad news for you.
    - Removed Bastions repair function. Replaced with a grenade. Also, made his gatling gun (Turret Mode) have a 12 second cooldown. (This only mentioned, because what's Bastion good for now, if he can't even Turret Mode. Just a slightly different Solder:76).
    - Removed lootboxes. Replaced with daily/weekly quests/tasks, that are tedious at best, and only designed to make you spend even longer in the game, and god knows they need it, as they need a big, sirup-drenched carrot to keep you playing this mess.

    Conclusion:
    Bring back OW1 and stop trying go rip people off with microtransactions, Blizzard.

    I have really no idea how have they done this but the game feels like a downgrade, a rip-off, perhaps even a new low on the market.
    If you haven't tried Overwatch back in the day, and you're thinking of playing Overwatch 2, because hey, "It's free, why not give it a shot", don't bother, it's atrociously bad, and you certainly won't get the fun Overwatch used to deliver. All I can say to these poor souls really is "Sorry mate, it's gone".
    And you know what's the worst of it? Even if you manage to accept that the game has LOADS of microtransactions and other negatively affecting whatnots like toxicity or the glitches, you still won't get the fun you were looking for!
    The characters locked behind paywalls will make sure of that. That's perhaps the worst change Overwatch 2 implemented.

    But this is not the worst. It has become impossible to play the game normally - it takes 5-7 minutes to find the game and cheaters play in 90% of the games. They just run around the whole game with aimlock and don't even try to hide. Reports do not work at all, the same cheaters have been playing since the very start of "Overwatch 1.2" and no one cares about it. I spent a couple of thousand hours on the original overwatch, but I never intend to play "it" again, nor any other games from these people.

When it started it was a fantastic quality shooter with crisp and satisfying gunplay, people playing it were optimistic, regular content updates and even though it introduced a controversial at the time loot box system, they provided a substantial amount of in game opportunities to receive loot boxes and get skins. In my level of play, I was able to get every skin in the game for free, but I contributed money anyway to support the developers and the pr team. Time went on, some devs left, Jeff left, promises, were broken, Blizzard was bought by Scumdivision. Overwatch 1 turned into an empty shell devioid of players, optimism, and updates for the Autumn and Winter of its life. The remaining players were depressed, mean spirited, angry, bigoted, and more. It was demoralizing. Overwatch 2 gave old players and new players a ray of hope for improvement. But more controversy. Blizz's silent support of the CCP. Blizz lied about PVE, the main reason OW2 became a thing. Predatory monetization with the facade of F2P. The most disgustingly disappointing and predatory battle pass system I've ever seen. Expensive shop skins. No way to get skins for free in any meaningful way anymore. Bigotry and hatred abound in this "F2P" hellscape. As an LGBT+ person I'm disgusted by the lack of enforcement of their so called "progressive" views that they always espouse in their announcements page. There seems to be a skeleton crew of staff. No way to contact Blizz for complaints. A terrible metascore and overall perception of what remains. Microsoft has little hope of salvaging this game after what Activision has done to it. Best of luck to them. I highly recommend staying away from this game like it is the plague. Expand

The worst thing they did to old players was the new shop system. I have every skin from the original game, and I got every skin for free. The new shop makes that impossible, legendary skins cost 2000 credits, credits can only be earned by completing weekly challenges. You get a maximum of 60 coins per week, to get a leg dart skin I’d have to complete challenges for 33 weeks without spending coins. This game is a greedy cash grab and I hope blizzard changes their store prices, otherwise this game will be dead before the PVE comes out.

There are snipers and one-shot kills EVERYWHERE. This is an active choice Blizzard has made to cater to a wider audience which will slowly turn this to a generic shooter.

    Now with the free-to-play model, a ton more players are in the game, and the short queue times are possible the only positive thing about it. It brings a crap load of Fortnite-like players who has no clue of what teamplay means. Not a single person is paying attention to what is happening around them. Everyone is focused on the nearest enemy and you can ping out enemies, and no one cares. If your playing solo random queue, it's basically a lottery to see if you are lucky enough to get into a team that actually knows what they are doing.

    On top of making the game less fun to play for support, they've added a super expensive shop and a battle pass that means absolutely nothing for the player. It's just another way for them to milk money off their player base. In OW1 I occasionally bought a skin. In OW2, that will never happen.

    This game has turned so bad for support players that I'm seriously considering stop playing. This is from a person who have enjoyed OW1 since day one. In it's current form, I absolutely HATE OW2.

    The first season ends in one week and the game is still total **** They haven't tried improving anything to make it more fun to play for support. Matchmaking is totally broken. You can end up in the losing team 6-8 times in a row, even though I am top healer in 70% of the matches.

    Tanks are still out damaging DPS heroes and there are a ton of people playing tank who doesn't have a clue on how to play the role. Going 5v5 is the worst decision Blizzard has made. One bad tank, one tank that throws, and the game is over. They have literally made the most important role the one that people fail the most playing. They made the changes to appeal to damage dealers, and guess who plays tank...? Damage dealers that have zero clue on how to play.

    OW2 is still a total disaster and messed up garbage of a game. Stay away if you don't like frustration, long queues and people who don't give a crap about their teammates. I 100% HATE this game and people who have made it.

    Increible que una empresa megamultimillonaria no tenga capacidad de servidores para un juego que es online y los jugadores tenga que hacer cola de 30 min o mas para entrar.

    What the hell is even this? This is not a sequel. It's a F2P, grindy ass battle pass content update. Some **** game, but F2P. Seriously, what a scam. Blizzard sucks.

    They just killed Overwatch 1 with promises of bringing this new PvE mode, and now they have just canceled it. It's just another sign of this new Blizzard mess.

    Were they trying to create a cheap feeling rip off of Overwatch? If yes, then they did a great job. Otherwise, this really feels very unpolished and cheap. Truly a free to play experience along with the extortionate business model they chose.

    Anyway, if at the very least the first game remained untouched and could still be played that would be some sort of bandaid for those who enjoy the gameplay. But no, they scrapped the first game and release this **** free to play money grab garbage. Eat dick Blizzard you god damn morons.

    Cannot even play the game because I don't have a phone. I would rate the game much higher but I literally cannot play it, therefore it gets a straight zero.

    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.
