    I want my money refunded from Overwatch 1.
    Battlepasses suck. This Battlepass *especially sucks*.
    Greed and lazy is a bad combo.
    Guess we know why Jeff Kaplan and all the others left now.
    RIP Overwatch.

    Welcome to the "new" zoomer-oriented p2w rubbish heap with Blizzard "quality" mark. Hellish monetization of the game, lack of content, contempt for the players, now it's modern Blizzard.

    Auch wenn es ein paar kleine macken hat denk ich das diese relativ bald alle vom Tisch sind. Allgemein macht das Spielen dieses Spiels unglaublich viel Spaß und das ist ja das worauf es hier ankommt.

    It's a complete joke: gameplay: they don't adapt most heroes to the new reality, just compare new Kiriko and old supports, game rise up mobility and many characters have left behind monetization... I just don't want to talk about it, it's the most cancerous system in years

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Обращение к создателям игры: Идите нахуй со своим костюмом клоуна!
    Где мой овервотч1? Где мой сюжет в овераотч2? Как так произошло что весь косметический контент из овервотч1 за 60$, который можно получить было бесплатно, стал стоить где-то 12 000$? Что за донатная помойка и из-за чего такие цены? Теперь в игру можно задонатить и получить преимущество, потому что новые персонажи в массе будут имбой, просто разработчики взяли, навернули говна с лопаты в игру, убрали танка, нацепили цветокор и приписали 2 в конце названия. Где-то две трети персонаже не чувствуют себя прекрасно в данной игре, некоторые из них вообще не приспособлены к нынешнему геймплею.

    Character reworks after which some characters are very strong and others have become very weak. Certain other characters simply did not get the required changes, they still exist in another reality with different gameplay ow1.
    I like playing on tanks, I like the teamwork of two tanks with each other. Now the tank is only 1.
    I absolutely do not like the new interface, before it was much better. Now even worse than in Paladins. Judging by the interface, they want to port the game to mobile devices.
    The new monetization system is humiliating. P2W battle pass (any paid advantage, even temporary, is a P2W. Kiriko is not just an advantage in the form of a new hero, she is a strong hero. It is advantageous to make strong characters to place them in battle pass. Blizzard tried to hide it by the fact that the new hero will not be available for 2 weeks in the competetive game. So you have to play 3 hours every day for two weeks to somehow try to smooth it out and still get the hero later. That's a P2W).
    I liked the previous gameplay better. The new gameplay is too dynamic, which makes awareness and teamwork between players noticeably less. Usually gameplay now looks like chaos with little to no interaction. Even ranked matches now look like deathmatch. I've noticed that now, at the end of a match, sometimes players who have spent many hours in ow1 don't even realize whether they've won or lost until the game informs them with Victory/Defeat.
    Some new maps are bad in terms of game balance between the two teams.
    I don't like the new lighting on the maps, especially on the kings row and busan. The past lighting was better. The new lighting looks flat and cheap, like a mobile game.
    They changed the interface and lighting on the maps for the sake of mimicking the changes, but they did it poorly..
    The new character icons are designed for a zoomer audience.
    I would have liked to stay in Overwatch 1, but for obvious reasons, Blizzard didn't want to risk leaving the choice to the players understanding the quality of Overwatch 2. I buy a game and was deprived of a choice, Blizzard made the choice instead of me. It was the same with Warcraft. I do not welcome this attitude towards the players. New developers don't value their core audience, now they're targeting fortnite and valorant.
    Also, the game constantly closes without errors. It has been two weeks of communication with technical support. My game still just closes without errors. After 6 days of waiting I get the answer: «Unfortunately, due to a technical problem, all the attachments were removed before I opened your request. Please duplicate it. Thank you in advance!»

Almost every single Tank is now too OP, specifically Orisa and she was fine back in OW1 so I don’t get the change. DPS Heroes like Gengi are a bit broken now, Pharah surprisingly has been known to be way more infuriating now and a lot of people can say “Just get good” or whatever, Pharah is the only Hero in the entire Game to be able to fly freely. Heroes like D.Va and Echo can fly too but not as passively like Pharah does and the amount of Damage Pharah deals is ridiculous to the point it is super easy for the Player to get a Solo Team Kill just as Pharah alone with her Ultimate, I never seen or had that happen back in OW1 yet here she is now broken. Other heroes I can name would be Moira and Doomfist, Doomfist becoming a Tank is now more annoying due to the additional health he receives as a Tank and the additional ability being able to block Attacks receiving no Damage whatsoever which “clearly” isn’t more annoying enough if a good Doomfist Player can practically zoom past everyone in the Map using his abilities alone whilst completing decimating everyone and Moira as a Support hero is fine, only issue is I think Blizzard needs to tune down how much Damage she deals now through her primary weapon and either nerf or remove her Biotic Orbs since the vast majority of Players will be using Moira as a third DPS Hero rather than an actual support making it. So many Games I have played as my favourite DPS and Support Heroes I have gotten my Health from 200 completely destroyed to 0 just by her Orbs alone, the fact I write this annoys me slightly more knowing that Blizzard already is acting so ignorant and refuses to do more hero balancing until the start of Season 2. Meaning as of the time I write this, we have 50 more days (according to the Battle Pass) before we get actual correct balancing in the Game to have it at least more enjoyable and not have players in a fit of rage against these broken heroes, this Game CAN definitely be good and I would love to see Overwatch 2 succeed but right now it is hard to see this, if it were not for the Battle Pass and the very first Mythic Skin in this Game, I would not play this until Season 2. Blizzard to me is very incompetent and ignorant, not sure if I can they are these things since the beginning or since they have been Activision Blizzard, my personal recommendation to anyone reading this, if you are considering on playing this Game please wait until Season 2, if you will find the same Heroes as I mentioned to be as infuriating to play against then be sure to realise Blizzard will not do anything until Season 2 begins Expand

    We had a b2p fun game with decent in-game rewards and no pressure about how much time do you have to spend grinding.

    Now it's a huge downgrade with insane prices and even buying battlepass - you are forced to grind 30-40 min / day completing daily achievements. BP rewards are mediocre at best . Feels more like a chore than a game now.
    Not recommended, save your time.

    Game economics suck, an outfit cost 1/3 the price of the original overwatch. Just FIY, I got 24 legendary outfit in the original game just for 60 euro. I would have to pay 500 euro in that f2p version just to have the same skins, not even counting the epic and rare. It's a rip off.
    You don't have any incentive to get up in level anymore unless you are willing to pay for a battle pass.

Его переработали, сделали из него имбу и, что вы думаете? Близард его пофиксил первым патчем? Нет. Его просто вырезали. Из игры. Такой вот курс близард теперь.
    Про МОНИТИЗАЦИЮ...
    Вот был у вас овервоч 1, в котором вы могли получить все скины просто играя и особо не напрягаясь, особенно если у вас не было цели получить совершенно все, а только пару скинов на любимых персонажей. Забудьте. Теперь вас принудительно пересаживают на овервоч 2 (хотя обещали, что это будут параллельные игры) и заставляют либо платить по 10$ за СКИН или потратить чуть больше ПОЛУГОДА на то чтобы его выфармить. Просто на заметку, чтобы получить весь контент за донатную (можно получить просто играя (нет)) валюту вам нужно потратить 120000$ или 470 лет. И это при том, что столько стоят даже скины из первой части.
    Теперь вы не сможете получить нового героя не купив батл пас или не позадротив на него. Купите - получите сразу. Не купите - потратите тонну времени на прокачку половины батлпаса. Пей ту вин здравствуй.
    Лор
    Для меня это самая больная тема. Первый Овер я полюбил за лор, ролики, намеки в игре и тд. Помните, как у каждого лорного костюма было описание его истории? Забудьте. Лора в игре больше не будет, судя по всему. На сайте раньше было обширное описание мира вселенной овервоч, а теперь пара строк. Костюмы больше не имеют истории. Новые карты - это просто карты. У вас нет никакой исторической привязки.
    Курс близард понятен. Сделать донатную дрочильню помойку с ориентированием на богатых детишек, которым не куда деньги девать.
    Причем было бы пол беды, если бы с таким же усердием, с каким они сделали донат, старались бы над балансом. Сейчас баланса в игре нет. Многие персонажи откровенно бесполезны в новом обличии геймплея. Не думаю, что становится лучше будет, к сожалению. Думаю, что метелица загубила очередную серию, некогда созданную ветеранами и гениями студии, ныне ее покинувшими (и наверное к лучшему).

    Blizzard is not the same company that many people grew up with. It's now an evil corporation with no soul.

    So it's no shock that Overwatch 2 is trash. I guess they were too busy raping their employees to do any real work. The CEO hung out on Epstein's island so I guess he was too busy raping people to figure out how to make the company work. The game is utter trash, like the company.

    If you want to play anything that isn't healer you should expect queue times for 6 mins and above because role queue is still a "feature" which makes this more of a wait lobby simulator than an FPS. So the reported "25 million players" on OW2, probably complete BS because I was able to get into matches faster in Halo Infinite which is completely dead in the water.

    In summary, don't waste your time there are gameplay improovenets which are now surrounded by the worst possible quilty of life chnages to make you the player just hate every secound of you time when you boot up Overwatch.

    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.
