I loved Overwatch. But after playing through today, it just feels dead. The visual updates are nice, and I like the added depth of sounds, but it’s very clear it’s lost its soul. The new voices lines for every character are very poorly written in my opinion, it takes a single element of their character and makes it their WHOLE personality, making them seem far more one dimensional than they did before. Whoever did the writing didn’t treat them like characters but like stereotypes, which makes me shudder to think how the ‘story mode’ is going to go if just the voice lines in gameplay is flat. The visualls are chaotic , and very hard to look at when you’re fighting team v team. I don’t really care about the battle pass stuff because I’m very picky about skins and am happy with the ones I have, but it is disheartening to see how much you’d have to play just for ONE skin. Can you imagine being a new player and seeing that you have to play for 8 /MONTHS/ before you can get a skin?? I much prefer lootboxes, it was fun and easy and everyone could get one without dropping money. And this is just a personal thing but I think so far that the new skins are not well designed. They look like leftover character designs that got scrapped, not intentionally designed skins. I don’t care about the battle pass, because I don’t care about the rewards, they’re not attractive or fun enough to be worth caring about. Kinda like this game as a whole as it stands. I’m uninstalling for now, maybe in a few months once stuff gets repaired and maybe blizzard gets a clue about how much less fun this game is I’ll try again.… Expand

    Horrible! If you’re gonna have a competitive team FPS game maybe make sure your servers don’t crap out and crash the match right before the end!!! It’s a broken, buggy game. Even tho it’s free to play don’t bother investing the time to learn and grind out the hero unlocks, play anything else and save yourself frustration.

    Interesting ideas weakened by some 5v5 epiphany they thought would solve everything but really didn't. I think a lot of "pro" reviewers have been fooled by the shortcut that was taken here, which just creates a QP-trash style deathmatch scrum on the PL where the game devolves to 2 healers desperately keeping the one tank alive while trying to not die themselves since there's no time for peeling. if the DPS even moderately suck and can't find health packs, or the tank forgets part of their kit, it's game over.

    And it's all wrapped in corporate F2P bull**** and a launch that just wasn't well-prepared because, for some reason, the shareholders wanted to see this live NOW NOW NOW. Nope, maybe later, and good luck with the stock portfolios.

    Blizz has simply lost the basics. They're now also lost in "putting out fires" without realizing some of the more fundamental problems with this reboot... I don't need to throw my money at it until it's ready, which it clearly isn't for now and I'd be surprised if it's still alive in a year. Calling it.    … Expand

    The graphics feel psychedelic and make the brain and eyes hurt it is like they put a photo filter over OW1. Can't play this longer than 20 minutes.

    This game has deceived its community in the most brazen way. Let's start in order.

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    This game has deceived its community in the most brazen way. 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

    Honestly feels like the same game as overwatch. One reason I put a negative score is because all my characters were unlocked then all the sudden they are locked. Slow log in times and it seems like they are trying to force people to buy the battle pass. This is basically what killed Destiny and looks like they are leading to the same path.

    Lets focus on the skins for a second, you are saying that what they are doing is fine? **** no! I'm not gonna pay 1/3 of the price of Overwatch 1 FOR ONE LEGENDARY SKIN in a game that has over a 100 of them!!??!! The legendary skins should be maximum of 2$ a pop and not even a cent more and we should have a currency that we can earn by just playing the game to buy the epic skins for free! Blizzard you can still sell your bundles and legendary skins but please 20$ for a single skin is just outrageous.

    Now "Watchpoint pack" i paid 40$ to get a battle pass and 2000 points so basically 1 legendary skin, meanwhile some games who ask for that price give you multiple seasons of battlepass and bunch of more goodies, I hear what you are gonna say "BUT YOU GET OW1 and ITS SKINS WITH IT" I ALREADY HAVE IT BLIZZARD, i had the game of the year edition before, ive had all these skins already and guess what i cant even play overwatch 1 a way better game than what we have right now with ow2. And the biggest blunder of this pack is that it doesnt even guarantee you access to ow2 pve in 2023, they will probably charge us 60$ on top of this for that game mode which was supposed to be the entire point of the overwatch 2 in the first place.

    This has to change! Don't sit around thinking its gonna change itself be vocal about it leave reviews post tickets to blizzard talk on forums lets just make them realize what they are doing with the game we all love and have been playing for past 5 - 6 years.    … Expand

    Pourquoi changer un système qui fonctionnait très bien avant ? Pour avoir joué à Overwatch 1, le système de lootbox était très bien, il permettait aux joueurs qui ne jouent pas souvent de pouvoir "faire les coffres" en gagnant 9 parties en Arcade. Ces coffres permettaient d'avoir de l’argent et de pouvoir acheter le skin souhaité.

    Maintenant, il faut spam les games pour monter le battlepass sans possibilité de choisir la récompense voulu. Je ne parle même pas ici du déblocage du nouveau héro dans le battle pass. Bref le battlepass pénalise les joueurs occasionnels ou qui ne peuvent/veulent pas jouer toute la journée au jeu.

    Voice line :

    Toutes les voix des personnages ne sont pas toutes localisées en France. Cela montre le serieu du déroulement du projet Overwatch 2 pour lequel ils ont mis en pause Overwatch 1 pendant un lonnnng moment.

    Gameplay :

    Supprimer tous les stun du jeu, c'est bien, mais j'ai l'impression qu'il n'ont pas eu le temps de réadapter tous les personnages. Certains personnages ont donc des spells useless.

    D'un côté, il supprime entièrement des mécanique de gameplay et de l'autre, il laisse des personnages comme moira AKA l'aspirateur faire toujours autant de dégâts avec une facilité de AIM qui frôle l'assistanat. Je ne comprends pas.

    Le mode arcade à quoi sert il maintenant ? Maintenant, c'est anecdotique.

    Sortie du jeu :

    Gros problème serveur comme depuis des années sur Overwatch 1 à chaque event (Il ne faut pas en vouloir à blizzard c'est leur premier jeu en ligne), de l'argent et des skin qui disparaisse et maintenant deux personnages retirés pour une durée indéterminée parce que bugger. Bref un beau bazar bien comique.

    Absence du mode solo pourtant la raison de la sortie d'Overwatch 2 de base ....

    Conclusion :

    Pourquoi pas avoir fait une mise à jour majeur comme d'autres jeu de l'industrie ? Pourquoi les joueurs ayant acheté le 1 à l'époque sont obligé de switcher sur leurs F2P avec battle pass parce que les serveurs du 1 ont fermé ? Pour quelques map, le retrait d'un joueur par équipe et deux nouveaux personnages ? Sans blague blizzard essaye encore et toujours de se faire de la tune sur le dos de leurs fans.    … Expand

    -We used to have FREE lootboxes with plenty of cosmetics and skins every time we leveled up. Now even a mere taf costs 10$ .... Instead we have a crappy Battle pass that rewards you with a lame Winston skin and if you play for 2 months every day you get a McCree's skin lol ..... Sooo pathetic.
    - You have to PAY to play the lastest champion Kiriko .... Imagine if you had to pay real money on LoL to play the latest champ. So unless you play for months to reach level 55, you need to pay real money for a champion.
    - It's one of these dumb games where a premade party of 5 players can be matched with 5 individual players in RANKED games. So if you play alone in ranked, you can NOT carry 4 individual guys if you are against even average players but playing together. In League of Legends, parties are limited to 2 in ranked games. If you wanna play with 5 players, there is a dedicated game mode. But Activision doesn't understand this ....
    - Lots of deconnections, even though i have fiber. Sometimes my whole party gets DC at the same time, so it's got to be their servers ....
    -Glitches, you go through wall, some trophies/achievements won't unlock even if you meet the requirement (hello Sigma's ultimate)
    - The game is still unbalanced asf. In 9 ranked games out of 10, there is a DVa/Zyra/Orisa. Winston is absolutely useless. In 9 games out of 10, there is a Sojourn/Sombra/Soldier. In 9 games out of 10, there is a Mercy/Zenyatta/Lucio. Brigitte is totally useless.
    So clearly they ruined the original game by focusing so much on easy money with a crappy battlepass like Fallguys and totally abandonned the gameplay and the game mechanics as well as the servers.

    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.
