    Не могу поиграть, очередь в 20000, при чем после того, как очередь подходит пишет что не удалось соединиться к серверу. Оптимизация ужасная, с 200 ФПС упало до 60. И близы походу забыли что у радуги 7 цветов, а не 6.

Other games in the genre have much more rewarding and player friendly battle passes. Would not recommend this “sequel” to anyone under any circumstances.… Expand

    Requiring a phone number to help prevent a toxic community? This not only is a flimsy excuse for requiring unnecessary information that will be sold to 3rd parties but it also locks those with less money out of the game. If Blizzard wants a toxic free environment they should start by removing themselves.

    Did you like playing DPS before? Well, now you can have the same experience immediately upon booting up the game!

    I don't buy the DDoS excuse for a moment. I'm not going to say it's not a possibility, but I think it's an improbability. First off, they have the exact same problem with every game release & WoW expansion I've played and yet... this is the first time it's coupled with a fairly negative user experience they can shift the conversation away from. DDoS would not break things like your inability to team up in-game when you do actually beat the queue.

    They simply either didn't expect the flood of interest in the game, or they do not want to ramp up server space enough to meet it: the game is essentially launching in maintenance mode, like the original Overwatch did. Excuse me, coming into Early Access in maintenance mode. They stopped an actual game that players paid for in favor of an Early Access F2P game. I should clarify that the queue time to log into the game / supposed DDoS is a curiosity and doesn't influence my score in the slighest: The game is just that bad.

    Meat and potatoes: The gameplay. It's Overwatch but worse. The removal of a player might lend itself to shorter queue times as nobody wanted to play Tank, but they didn't address WHY nobody wanted to play Tank, and in fact, leaned into exactly why nobody wanted to play Tank. They have been looking at game balance from the perspective of the DPS players, the most popular role by far: After all, if every match is waiting on the Tank spots to fill up and you're needing to wait 15 minutes to play as a DPS, there's a -lot- of those players in the game. Again, instead of making a better experience for the Tank players, they've attempted to make Tank gameplay appeal to DPS: Turning it into a DPS and not a Tank. Similarly with Healers, the latest Healers can deal respectable damage, and are often played that way first and foremost. Kiriko, the newest Support is no exception, capable of dealing ABSURD damage but with sub-par Healing potential. My point is- this is turning Overwatch more into a game like Valorant, which is already better at being Valorant than Overwatch could ever hope to be. And, you know, it already exists. People will tell you that Tanks and Healers have no point until they aren't getting protected or healed and then "Where's the shield?" or "Where's the heals?" - there's a reason these DPS players still stick around. Because Overwatch, with role diversity, is actually a pretty cool formula. People just get a bit tired of being bullied to no end on any role besides DPS, when you basically can't do anything but rely on your team for help. No surprise everyone wants their chance to just frag out and treat the objective-based team game as a DM. Even though DM exists as a mode... Again, this DPS-ification has lead to faster player-down times and each team has less "meat" on it than it did before, as they're incapable of buffing each individual tank to the level required to make up for a lack of two tanks. Zarya being a great example of how poorly they've balanced the game: You now have two charges of bubbles, shared for each bubble. You can bubble yourself TWICE! - until you've used both charges, then between them, one charge comes back as fast as an individual bubble did before. So, in the grand scheme of things, Zarya has half the bubble potential in an extended fight. And you're the only Tank. At least you do more damage..

    The battle pass: It's really bad. I'm not even aggressively against monetization but... two battle pass levels now was one level before: Which gave you a loot box. Also, you got loot boxes for all manner of things. A loot box had 4 things, rolled by rarity, guaranteed to not be a dupe until you'd gotten all things of that rarity. Instead of one loot box with 4 rolls, you -might- get 2 things depending on the specific levels. If you did not buy the battle pass, you get essentially nothing, as the "free" rewards are spread very, very thin. In the grand scheme of things, there is a LOT less content added to the game, and that content you must now purchase with no real capability of "playing to earn" - the avenues of free currency and rewards are extremely limited. It doesn't seem like it's impossible to get the hero but there's less content.

    Objective-based challenges are also very bad for the health of the game. Getting the Competitive ones is going to be a huge grind, so you're absolutely going to have games where somebody picks a character they don't really want to be on just so they can rack up that one specific stat they need for the battle pass. I'm all for letting people play what they want - don't want to be the meta character (Junker Queen) because she can't rack up Mitigation? Okay. Well, if you DO want to be her, and you aren't, so that you can mitigate damage as a hero you don't otherwise want to be? That's a problem    … Expand

    From the very first second you enter the game you are greeted by a wall of advertisements for the "micro" transactions and the overly complicated monetization systems. When you literally prefer the old loot-box system, you know you're not playing a game anymore. Not only did i hVe to suffer 3 years of no love to overwatch 1.

    A Regressive Sequel That Fails its Fans

    Overwatch 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved multiplayer shooter, falls disappointingly short of its predecessor. Lack of progression, disregard for its customers, and the troubling decision to withhold promised PVE content, while keeping the community in the dark. Regression, not Progression: Overwatch 2 fails to build upon the    A Regressive Sequel That Fails its Fans

    Overwatch 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved multiplayer shooter, falls disappointingly short of its predecessor. Lack of progression, disregard for its customers, and the troubling decision to withhold promised PVE content, while keeping the community in the dark.

    Regression, not Progression:
    Overwatch 2 fails to build upon the success of the original game, offering little in terms of innovation or meaningful changes (well other then new shop and battle pass). It feels more like an incremental update rather than a true sequel, lacking the necessary advancements to justify its existence.

    Zero Respect for Customers:
    The developers of Overwatch 2 have shown a concerning lack of respect for their dedicated fanbase (several times). From poor communication to a lack of substantial content, it seems as though customer satisfaction is not and never was a priority.

    Concealed Cancelation of PVE Content:
    One of the major attractions of Overwatch 2 was its promised PVE content. However, the developers knew well in advance that this feature would not be available, yet kept the community in the dark ! This deliberate omission further erodes trust and diminishes the game's credibility.

    In conclusion, Overwatch 2 fails to deliver on its promises and falls short of the expectations set by its predecessor. The lack of progression, coupled with a disregard for customer satisfaction and the concealed cancelation of PVE content, taints the game's and company's reputation even further. It is disheartening to witness a sequel that fails to live up to its potential and leaves loyal fans feeling betrayed and broken.    … Expand

This FORCES people into the new version, even if the older version is better.

    People are flaming healers for not being able to heal fast enough even when they are spamming, because 1 tank can't tank enough which also puts precure on everyone else, and some people are just don't understand that they need to use cover and corners to stay alive, but the game is still fundamentally broken because it wasn't made for it.

    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.

    The changes to the actual gameplay are amazing. The problem is there is no system in place to stop older players from playing with completely new players.

To make matters worse, the cosmetics costing nearly $20 is outrageous. I was willing to spend money on overwatch 1 because I always got plenty for even just $10. Now it feels like they want to force even free to play players to spend money to get anywhere. I am done with Blizzard games.… 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Это ПОЗОР полнейший. Начну с того что с моей полки пропал первый Овервотч. Вопрос. Почему у меня забрали игру за которую я заплатил? Даже если вы отключаете сервера, ну так игру оставьте на полке библиотеки, В ЧЕМ ВАША ПРОБЛЕМА? Ладно, расхвалил мне вторую часть товарищ, говорит качай побегаем поиграем. Захожу в тренировочный матч, наблюдаю 30 фпс постоянные фризы, статтеры, короче говоря игра не работает, играть в такое невозможно. Сначала я даже подумал что скачал первую часть и мол компьютер даёт сбой, не может потянуть игру. Так пробегал матч, проверил, вроде вторая часть. Но почему то графические настройки стоят низкие и игра выглядит в несколько раз хуже первой части. Безусловно, я играю с ноутбука, НО, почему год назад играя в Овервотч у меня стояли максимальные настройки графики и стабильные 60 фпс?
    Какой Итог всего этого, товарищи. Наблюдая за всем тем что сейчас происходит в мире, может сложится впечатление, что упадок в игровой индустрии это логическое продолжение всего того ужаса который можно наблюдать во всех сферах нашей жизни. Но это не так. Играм БЫТЬ. Нужно лишь некоторое время перестать хавать всё то, что выдают нам ЭТИ огромные БЕСПОЛЕЗНЫЕ корпорации типа близард, юбисофт, электроник артс и им подобные. Есть много прекрасных игр, они выходят и по сей день.

Let's start in order.

    1. PvE
    In 2019, at BlizzCon, Jeff Kaplan announced Overwatch 2, he said that it would be a leap into a new generation, that it would be a legendary game, and for the sake of its development, Overwatch 1 would completely stop receiving new content, and all forces would be thrown at the implementation of a new game. The community of the game then agreed, because what was there to worry about? Part 1 steadily received new heroes, maps, cinematics, and everyone was sure that our favorite campaign would not let us down. Here in this waiting mode of a great game, with talents for heroes, cool cutscenes, a shallow plot, replayable dynamic PvE on a huge world map that is constantly being updated. 19,20 and 21 years have passed in this standby mode. And now, in the 22nd year, Overwatch 2 is finally announced to us. However, the players were upset as quickly as they were happy, because this is not a masterpiece promised to them, but only an update of the first part, with some balanced edits, several new heroes, etc. Nothing comparable to promises. But the new game director of the game, Aaron Keller, promises that everything will still be, just not now. "Dear players, development is getting more expensive, buy a battle pass, we need money to finish the very game that we promised you" - this is how many players perceived the release of Overwatch 2 in the first part. But nevertheless, there was hope and faith in the "Great Blizzard", which, yes, did not calculate its strength, but all the same, now we will give her some more money, and she will fulfill all her promises. What happened in the end? On May 16, 2023, Aaron Keller announced that PvE was being canceled. And we will only get story missions, like those that we already received for the archive event in the first part. What can I say here, Blizzard publicly signed her incapacity. For 3 years, this campaign did not do anything for overwatch, they just had a huge amount of free time, which they apparently spent just sitting in their luxurious offices and drinking coffee. Or, another "effective manager" broke into the studio and said that no one needs PvE, immediately do a free dump like Fortnite or apex, so that with a battle pass, donat cosmetics, and so on. Here we actually go to the second point.

    2. Monetization
    When overwatch came out, it was a premium game, it cost 2000rubles, and in return offered a complete absence of Pay-to-Win elements that are always present in free projects. And now, after 6 years, half of which the game was completely devoid of content, the developers suddenly announce that the game will be free. And as compensation for those who bought it for the full price tag, Blizzard will give 2 epic looks, for the fist of death, "General", and for sombra, "Fool", and the second look clearly made it clear for whom Blizzard keeps people who pay her money. And so, overwatch became free, a battle pass appeared in it, all skins became paid and cost just cosmic money, 2000rubles for 1 legendary skin, 700 rubles for an epic one. The game has turned from a primal, high-quality game from the famous blizzard, into another free dump, since in addition to donating, pay-to-win elements have also appeared in the game, namely, now new heroes are not opened at all at once, but after pumping out the 55 level of the battle pass, or buying its primal version which in itself is already absolutely unacceptable for a game for which many people gave their hard-earned money. Of course, overwatch 1 also had monetization, the same loot boxes, but they could be received for free, in a huge amount, in an hour you could get 1-2, and sometimes 3 loot boxes, just by playing the game. And in overwatch 2, in order to "play the game" to save up for a battle pass, you need to spend 17 weeks, for the sake of 8 legends and 1 mythical skin.

    In conclusion, I want to say that you should not believe this terrible office called “Blizzard”, in no case do not bring money there, and do not support their terrible monetization. Only by depriving them of money, you can achieve changes.

    I've been playing overwatch since 2018, 400 hours.    … Expand

    They killed OW because the loot boxes weren't making enough money and replaced it with this joke of a live service. Full of aggressive monetization and season passes! The selling point of replayable PVE is dead. 5v5 just lead to raid boss tank balance. At least the removal of most the CC is nice for gameplay... If I wanted to play this trash.

    Same game as OverWatch 1. The only system to be updated is the monetization system which is absolutely horrible.

    So many bugs, issues, etc.

    This game actually took a LEAP backwards from OW1. I've put many hours in this past weekend and I've come to conclusion that there is literally ZERO feeling of progression. There is ZERO feeling of reward for any aspect of the game. The rank system now is absolutely the worst rank system in a video game I have ever played. Honestly, I cannot play rank in this game with its current setup.This game actually took a LEAP backwards from OW1.

And I can't play quick play with how boring an dry it feels after every match. The battlepass is has nothing of value in it, the skins are not even considered mediocre, they are terrible looking. The rest of the **** thrown in the battlepass is pointless. And I mean literally pointless. There's no current in the battlepass either. This game feels like a fraction of what OW1 was. How the **** does that make any sense… Expand

    Easily one of the worst games of all time. There is fundamentally no rewards for playing, battlepass or otherwise. The gameplay itself is garbage where you either stomp the enemy team or they stomp you. DO NOT WASTE A PENNY.

    Absolute garbage direction for the Overwatch title to move in, and a real highlighting of the greed and avarice of Activision Blizzard.

Now everything is locked behind the worst battle pass imaginable, or, at a minimum, almost a year of grinding (for a single legendary skin). The improvements, or better to term them the changes to the title are minimal, beyond a new coat of pant and some bland new heroes. The lore has taken a massive hit, with Blizzard stripping away info from the character profiles, to replace them with the absolute minimum of text, and no world building to speak of. Maybe the dev's are too busy in the Cosby Suite to give a **** fans certainly should give one about this trash fire that represents a previously engaging title's degradation Spend your time on the, literally, thousands upon thousands of more worthy titles out there; let this trash burn itself out. .… Expand

    I'm very angry, the 5 vs 5 brings nothing except a greater absence of tank and heal in the games except when a character becomes meta thanks to a patch up, there is also less and less fewer cards, but where are the OW 1 cards???
    If you want to make an OW2, already your first gesture is to give community tools to make maps, when at the start you copied everything from Team Fortres 2 except the creation object...
    Here in August 2023 we can say that there is no longer any GM or observer or complaint controller, the players are as toxic as possible and I don't even throw stones at them because it's because of this what has become of the game, but hey there's the total, it ticks all the boxes: homophobia, racism, disability and of course moms...
    I will add the worst of the worst of all the unimaginable battles pass, free players (while you paid for 1) only receive poop, it's shameful.
    I won't even go to the pve mode in the road map which disappears because beiiii they don't give a **** and I even wonder if it wasn't already planned not to make any to be able to sell a kit at high prices rotten missions.
    Personally I'm not complaining that there is no pve (in any case I don't put a dollar on boat mission purchases) because we are logically in a competitive fps which has nothing to do with pve.

    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.
