Remember the lootboxes? God it was fun grinding for the legendary skins, it's why people played a lot of competitive, you could practically get 2 legendary skins a week if you were a diehard grinder. In this game, grind for 8 **** months straight with no day missed else you gotta wait an extra day, and school exists people, it's gonna keep you busy. Secondly this game's balancing is the worst thing ever, they just roll the dice on a cup with a character and buff them by whatever number the dice rolls. There were many games with fair balancing and good multiplayer, like Team fortress 2 actually listened to it's fans and nerfed almost every weapon to the point where everyone can enjoy playing. Meanwhile this game's devs, they are not even trying at all. and hell the co-op missions are here but you need to spend 15 extra euros for that. The devs have no remorse and no shame, they kept saying they were excited to bring the game to us, yeah they were excited to steal our money if that makes more sense. Seriously, if this game could've had 6 years of development like TF2 had for 9 years, it would've been hot **** This game deserves a 1/10 for me, for the simple fact that it can run. Have a good day to you all.

    It DOES NOT work with 5v5, it's EXTREMELY frustrating to play now, there used to be a push pull to the game with 2 tanks now there is an extreme precure on healers and the tank, if either a healer or the tank dies, everyone dies... Gunplay is still good game looks better in some aspects.

    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.

    Update: So after royally **** up the game they have now in 2023 announced that the main reason for Overwatch 2 which is the PVE that was promised is now cancelled, so yeah they should have kept the the game as it was and just added visual updates, heroes, maps and such instead of removing the systems that worked and then left the entire player base disappointed and lied to, people spent their money and time on this game only to get shafted by bad decision, planning and false promises.    … Expand

    - literally only reason to add number 2 to game, PvE was dropped after release
    - turned paid game to f2p screwing people who bought it
    - borderline p2w, due to new characters being behind paywall (you can get them through achivements sometimes too, thats why ive written borderline)

    Let's start with the fact that the game is ruled by the lgbt community and tries to impose it on its audience in every possible way. Pve in the game is terrible and it feels very strongly that the game was made not with love, and on the sod. And the price of course for this game is too high.

    Just a reminder that OW2 cancelled the only reason it was called as "2nd entry" in the series - Single Player content.
    This moment alone deserves 0/10

    The game is fun, especially for new players. Old players from OW 1 are angry for some reasons. As a player who started on season 5 I find it amazing amd engaging and fun to play. Season 6 looks cool as well.

    Game is worse in every way possible than the first. Smaller teams, faster combat, character abilities matter less. Character changes that had to be done to try to balance smaller teams just made the characters a shell of their former self.

    This game is incredible, addictive, I play it since day one and the 5v5 formula is so much better than 6v6, suppression of lootboxes is perfect, I prefer way more a battlepass style, if I want to retribute the studio by buying items, I want to know what I pay for. And the season 6 tomorrow with PVE, new hero, new modes, new maps, OMG this will be absolutely insane, I can't wait !

It is a shell of what it once was. 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

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.    … 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.
