    its an update, it is not a game that deserves a title "2". get you s together blizzard already. and its not that i would call it "2", maybe "0.5" or "0.3" would be closer. new mode is garbage, 5v5 does not work. i just hate it right now. no boxes but a paywall pass, no ranked but weird ranked. ah...

    On the positive side, Blizzard has come up with the first ever "Loading Simulator".

    I don't see any improvements over original game. All the changes were done for the sake of making some changes to call it a "new" game so they can go crazy with monetisation.

    Well, it's very sad to see what a game I've played since I was a kid has turned into.
    For me it was something very close to my heart, different from other games like Counter Strike Global Offensive, Battlefield etc.

    For me it was something very close to my heart, different from other games like Counter Strike Global Offensive, Battlefield etc.
    At one time, I bought the "legendary" version of the game not even for skins, but in order to support the developers, and the fact that the game was paid eliminated a lot of toxic people.
    Of course, no existing game has ever done without them, but in overwatch the community was atmospheric and kind in its own way.
    I'll start with the cons.
    1. The game is now free - like I said, this adds accessibility to a lot of idiots that I wouldn't want to see and listen to in my favorite game.
    2. The second point follows from this - because of the free to play, the developers decided to add a battlepass, and I would close my eyes to this if it were free, like the containers in the first ov, but all the interesting things were stuffed into a paid battlepass, which I I can't even buy (I'm a ru player).
    The literal monetization of all cosmetics in ov2 is a direct path to the bottom.
    Even the skins that were released in ov1 became paid, and the coins that remained with ov1 became useless, and they can’t even be exchanged for a new currency.
    Of course, this was not the main thing in the game, but it added interest to play, knock out containers and increase the level with which my experience with the skill increased.
    3. New icons and interface. I feel like all the good designers have been screwed over and hired kids because they look frankly ugly.
    - Huge squares in the character menu, instead of medium and nice looking rounded rectangles lying at an angle, it doesn't look stylish or pretty.
    - Almost the same story with the interface of the character's health pool, it has become more square and straight in contrast to the slightly rounded squares - also ugly.
    - Same story with character abilities - normal squares instead of rounded rhombuses
    - The style of the ultimate has become not beautiful, although there are almost no changes, but it still does not look beautiful.
    - The character selection menu has the same story - squares instead of diamonds - and it pisses me off that it's like that everywhere, it absolutely did not need a redesign.
    - New 3D models in the lower left corner of the screen look bad.
    4. Also, the developers decided to remove the level icons that were in ov1 - but why? In order for the players not to have a biased attitude towards the allies, the developers answered. For me, this is fierce nonsense, since only those units of toxins in ov1 were biased towards the player, judging by his level (and by the way, sometimes it even played the opposite way - people could shame high-level players by calling them nerds).
    I don’t deny that by the level I could judge who I should heal more and help, but this was a plus, because in this way a team game was formed, which was always emphasized in ov1.
    Also, the levels were an aesthetic pleasure, because it was just nice to see a beautiful frame and characters in it (although I did not even have time to take a silver frame).
    5. Instead of your profile icons, players now see only character art - this is also an omission, because it was an aesthetic component of ov1, and it was possible for the whole team to display the same icon for fun.
    6. The statistics of enemies and allies became visible - kills, deaths, damage done, etc. Doesn't that cause prejudice, blizzard? After all, the impact of the player does not determine this at all, just like in ov1, even Jeff Kaplan joked about this topic in the New Year's issue.
    7. And due to the fact that prominent statistics appeared during the match, which is visible to everyone - the character cards disappeared at the end of the match ... This is a VERY big omission, because it was nice to put your "praise" to the ally and in some cases to the enemy, and then hear cool phrases from them (it was especially nice when you were the person who was praised). But no, they decided to remove it by adding ugly
    statistics like in cs go.
    8. By the way, the interface itself when you press the TAB key during a match is also disgusting, licked from other shooters like cs go - a complete lack of style...
    Let's move on to more serious issues.
    9. Battlepass cosmetics are survivable, albeit with difficulty - but characters in battlepass? Seriously, Blizzard? As a player from ov1, they are certainly available to me, but what will happen next? They only open at level 55, and these are the weeks of grinding, and keep in mind that not everyone can afford to play a lot.

    Unfortunately, I can’t write more than 5 thousand letters .. thats sa, I have something to say, and even praise ov2 a little, but the metacritic did not think that there are users like me, for whom the game is really important, and what they think about it in to the fullest.    … Expand

    Many fan favorite maps were removed as well as a game mode. The battle pass is slow and costs money while also keeping new characters locked until you reach a high enough tier.

    Getting enough in game currency for a single legendary skin without paying money takes at least eight months. Buying legendary skins isn’t a good option either seeing as each legendary skin costs $20.

    They removed many positive community features (such as voting best player at the end of a match and endorsing opponents).

    I also have had multiple bugs that interfered with game play. For example, one game I had a bug where a choke point was filled with a black mass of triangles jutting out in all directions. I could walk through it but couldn’t see anything.

    All of this is only an issue if you can even get into the game though. It took me anywhere between 1-3 hours just to get in the few times I played.

    I loved overwatch but overwatch 2 is unplayable for me. I’m immensely upset with blizzard for ruining such a beloved game while also essentially deleting the original.    … Expand

    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

    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.
