    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. Now you have to once again pay more money in order to get the "PvE" they talked so much about even though some of us paid $60 for a game that became free to play. Lastly, does anyone remember the team making feature, taking it off was a stupid decision.… Expand

Then still choosing to release three missions for 15 dollars.

    The F2P is just scummy aswell. In ow1 if you just played consistantly you would get rewards such as skins, emotes etc. None of that is anymore, requiering you to pay about a quarter of the original game for 1 skin.

    Somehow if you play ranked it feels like this. Winning: For about 5 seconds you feel good after the torture, then not even seeing you rating go up, demoralizing you.
    Losing: Feels **** horrible. In every game you lose it feels like you couldn't have done anything.

    Blizzard has released a quick cash grab, promised players a lot, delivered none of that.
    They literally said that they would release PvE, then said they won't but will give players some PvE coop missions. Then they put those behind a paywall. Overwatch 2 is just the same as Overwatch 1, except more aggressive monetization and less good content added.

    A game that should have never been made. It is an absolute atrocity to call this Overwatch 2. It is not even Overwatch 1.2. No pve, 80 euro skins, a dumb battlepass. It is a pure moneygrab. Also one would only play ranked if they hate themselves. Such a pity I loved overwatch 1 but this 'game' made me uninstall and never turn back. I wish overwatch 1 was still around.

    Looking at it for the gamemodes and gunplay aspect it hits the spot when needed. But due to blizzards poor management of the title. And failed and false promises it becomes hard to see what is rather then what could have been. Still enjoy the game but could be infinitely better.

    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.

"""""sequel"""""... which a huge reason why people were interested in the game, and then out of nowhere, the idea gets scrapped, so now gamers feel this huge, crippling gut punch of disappointment. Great, now we're left with an unlikable pay2win game. Yes, co-op missions were added, but it doesn't make up for all the game's mistakes.

    A majority of players felt that the first game was fine as is, now we're all forced to play what's essentially Overwatch 1.3. In other words, something that feels like a permanent DLC you can't turn off. There are a few positives, like one tank being playable instead of two, which speeds up games a bit (although that one's a bit controversial), and there are a few balance tweaks to some characters, but at the same time, some were given changes that ruined them and made them unfun to play.    … Expand

    If even Blizzard has given up on the game, I don't think anyone else should insist. I thought it was fun when I tried to play and it all looked pretty cool! The matchmaking was kind of messed up, but that's become a standard for Activision Blizzard games. Let this game die already, while someone somewhere may still remember it as a good game.

    When Blizzard announced Overwatch 2, the gaming community was abuzz with anticipation. Overwatch, with its colorful roster of characters and fast-paced gameplay, had cemented its place as one of the premier first-person shooters of its time. The sequel promised more: a fresh layer of depth with PvE (Player vs. Environment) content and an expansion on the already rich lore. But did it liveWhen Blizzard announced Overwatch 2, the gaming community was abuzz with anticipation. Overwatch, with its colorful roster of characters and fast-paced gameplay, had cemented its place as one of the premier first-person shooters of its time. The sequel promised more: a fresh layer of depth with PvE (Player vs. Environment) content and an expansion on the already rich lore. But did it live up to the hype?

    PvE Content - A Missed Opportunity:
    One of the standout features Blizzard highlighted for Overwatch 2 was its PvE content. However, upon release, it quickly became evident that this aspect of the game was not as fleshed out as many had hoped. The missions felt repetitive, lacking the depth and variety that would justify a full-priced sequel.

    Financial Concerns:
    The decision to release a sequel rather than updating the original Overwatch with new content raised eyebrows. To many fans, it felt like a calculated move to extract more money, especially those who had invested heavily in the original title, both financially and in terms of time spent.

    Familiarity Breeds Contempt:
    While sequels are expected to retain core elements from their predecessors, Overwatch 2 often felt more like an expansion pack than a full-fledged sequel. The gameplay mechanics, while still solid, didn’t offer much innovation. The line between familiar comfort and stagnant repetition became blurred.

    Technical Issues:
    Post-launch, players reported various bugs and glitches that, while not game-breaking, were significant enough to detract from the overall experience. For a sequel from a seasoned developer like Blizzard, such oversights were unexpected and disappointing.

    A Mixed Bag of Updates:
    While some heroes got intriguing redesigns and skill tweaks, others felt untouched or even unbalanced. This inconsistency made the meta feel uneven, impacting the competitive scene and casual play alike.

    Communication Breakdown:
    One of the enduring criticisms was Blizzard's perceived lack of transparent communication regarding their vision for the sequel, post-launch plans, and addressing community feedback. Given the passionate Overwatch community, this perceived silence felt like a snub.

    In conclusion, while Overwatch 2 did bring some new content to the table, it faltered in areas that mattered most to its dedicated player base. The decision to release it as a separate title, especially with its steep price point, left many feeling short-changed. The sequel, instead of elevating the franchise to new heights, serves as a cautionary tale about understanding and respecting a game's community and their expectations.    … Expand

    Highly marketed huge PVE campaign - the most compelling reason for a re-release of the game, has first been delayed, to not be delivered in a promised form. Instead, now we are looking at 15$ small mission packs with little to none replayability, no additional features such separate PvE character progression with a perk system etc.

    Though the whole point of releasing OW2 as it turned out was the introduction of predatory f2p monetization with a FOMO-inducing battle pass that not only includes cosmetics but limits access to new playable characters as well, and also an addition of premium cosmetics store with absurdly high prices. Even lootboxes from the first game don't look so bad in comparison to this.

    Updated character designs, made to reflect the changes that happened to them in a non-existent "story" that was going on in the background somewhere, were simply overloaded with unnecessary details, became less readable and lost their former charm.

    Not to mention that it was yet another botched launch of an ActiBlizz title with unstable server connection for every region and awfully long queues to enter the game, frequently reported issues with transferring progress from the first game, as well as questionable decisions, such as the need to bind a phone number in order to play.

    Overall, even if most of those things will be fixed eventually and the dev team somehow manages to ship meaningful content updates regularly (so far, it still doesn't look so good according to community feedback), I don't see why this game is worth anyone's time all things considered.    … Expand

Unfortunately, my initial impressions were far from stellar, as the game seems to have stumbled into several pitfalls that have left me disappointed and longing for the glory days of its predecessor.

    One glaring issue that's hard to ignore is the ongoing balancing problem that seems to have carried over from the first game. While Overwatch 1 had its share of character imbalances, I had hoped that Overwatch 2 would take this opportunity to fine-tune the gameplay experience. Instead, I've encountered an even more frustrating cycle of overpowered heroes dominating matches and a lack of meaningful adjustments to address these problems. The lack of progress on this front is both baffling and frustrating, and it significantly detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    Microtransactions and the implementation of a battle pass system are two more bitter pills to swallow in Overwatch 2. The game's transition towards a more aggressive microtransaction model, with an emphasis on cosmetic items locked behind paywalls, feels like a betrayal of the player base that made the original game a hit. The battle pass system, a cash grab that has become all too common in modern gaming, feels like a thinly veiled attempt to extract more money from players for content that should be included in the base game.

    What makes these monetization strategies particularly infuriating is the stark contrast to the more consumer-friendly approach of Overwatch 1. In the original game, cosmetic items were obtainable through gameplay, and the progression system felt rewarding and fair. The shift towards squeezing players for every last penny has tarnished the reputation of a franchise that once prided itself on its commitment to players.

    Speaking of Overwatch 1, the inevitable comparison between the two games is hard to avoid. It's clear that Overwatch 2 has lost some of the magic that made the original a sensation. The sense of balance, camaraderie, and excitement that defined the first game is sorely missing. Overwatch 1 managed to strike a delicate equilibrium between hero abilities and team dynamics, creating a gameplay experience that was both strategic and exhilarating. Overwatch 2, on the other hand, seems to have veered off course, sacrificing the essence of what made its predecessor great.    … Expand

    However, they decided to rebrand an already existent game and slapped a number 2 at the end of the title. The money hungry company switched to a f2p model and removed any chance of acquiring cosmetics through gameplay. Sure, they changed some maps, changed the team comp from 6v6 to 5v5, and changed up the rank system but It feels like a patch rather then a "new game". Then they have the audacity to charge 15$ for a PVE that was promised but never delivered.

    The best way I can describe this feeling would be when you just washed your car and then a bird took a fat smelly thick dump on your window. While the friend you were picking up comes into the car with mud all over their shoes.

    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.
