    Overwatch 2 is not a sequel it is a seasonal update. Day 1 was a complete mess and to be honest this game should not exist

    Absolutely horrible monetization and technical part of game. I'm always dreamed about farm 450 years on all skins in game, or PAY 12,000 DOLLARS. BLIZZARD, WTF

    I payed for OW1, and now it's gone. To continue playing, I need to doxx myself with a phone number.

    And in OW1, when you played tanks and got aditional credits, you could get 1 legendary skin per week. Now if you don't want to pay, you have to grind for 8 months for a legendary skin.

    All they had to do was to keep OW1 up and let me choose which game to play.

    Truly terrible support since 2019 but the message stating blizzard expected a good launch shone a light on their incompetence or their lies. OW may once have been my favorite game and.izzwrs my favorite games developer. With the launch of OW2 they have plunged to new depths as a beacon of how not to support a gameaunch.

    Если они решили, что народ схавает эту издевательскую монетизацию, то люто просчитались. Не понимаю, как можно так вертеть свою основную аудиторию и плевать в лицо новой.

    Monetization sucks ass and has no reason to be this bad. Compare it with league of legends monetization that is also free and you get a **** ton more free loot in that game and you'll see the problem especially since lol is way more profitable than ow2

    They destroyed the little balance that this game had, it's more chaotic, less strategic and less fun.

    Removed the second tank option

    Overwatch 2? It's a glorified overwatch 1 season 2 if anything and a season that ruins the funniest aspects of the game. Such a bloody shame and why did it take them so long if graphics and engine are the same? So confused.

    No PvE in the game but coming in a 'future update in 2023'

    Barely any new heroes
    5v5 and role locking is now the new standard, restricting your game pick variety
    Which is about 3% of the fun of the larger free for all madness of OW 1

    Oh and if you are a NEW player to Overwatch ESPECIALLY stay away because you'll be playing against people that have been playing this exact same game for 6 years and will deny you any enjoyment.    … Expand

    The game has lost almost all of the reward factor to play. Except competitive. Prices are exorbitant (it's Blizzard. Who's surprised?) 5v5 has made playing healer almost impractical, DPS are freer because most of your counters were tanks and now there's only one tank per game. And tanks are as broken as paladins in WoW PvP. Congratulations . 0!

    In addition to the fact that there are almost no changes in a positive way, the most important thing is that the game now provided with a moronic huge monetization like mobile games have.
    I'm begging all the people who are thinking about playing this just DON'T.
    Any support for this kind of **** gives the green light to other publishers to turn their projects into monetized hell.

    The games are even more susceptible to steam rolling. Tanks are god tier meanwhile some other heroes are a complete trash. Quick Play matchmaking puts veterans with newbies so it's the most frutrating experience you can imagine.

    I've been playing this game since Overwatch 1 was released. OW1 was a very good game though with lack of updates at the end.
    The new Blizzard (it's not the old good company anymore) has turned a diamond into a terrible disgrace. So it's still playable just because the old good Blizzard employees made a good game a long time ago, but the new ones just made things a whole lot worse.

    This game is so bad I don't even know where to start. So I'll start with bullet points.

    -Abusive monetization system: You thought loot boxes were bad? How about grind for 8 months for 1 skin -Lacks incentives to play: Little to no coins to push people to paying outrageous prices for skins or to buy battle pass. No more levels, no more xp, no more boxes. I never thought I'd want loot    This game is so bad I don't even know where to start. So I'll start with bullet points.

    -Lacks incentives to play: Little to no coins to push people to paying outrageous prices for skins or to buy battle pass. No more levels, no more xp, no more boxes. I never thought I'd want loot boxes (also an abusive form of monetization, back)
    -5v5. Honestly I just hate it. It doesn't feel better, as a tank player/support? It quite frankly feels worse. Tanks decide the outcome of every match basically.
    -Ruined many kits. Many heroes are straight up worse than overwatch 1, and now feel pretty homogenous due to them basically gutting CC. No more real hard counters. Basically if you like this, just go play fortnite, it's a better (and now similar) game with less abusive practices, and it's generally more competent at development.
    -Killed overwatch 1, a product I paid for. I'd still be playing overwatch 1 honestly. I want nothing to do with 2.
    -No PVE, yknow the thing that was supposed to justify it even existing.
    -Numerous typos and poor lore, no excuse, especially because 1 was vastly better and more polished
    -Phone system. Blizzard is absolutely going to sell your phone number by the way, but yeah if you don't overpay for wireless you're out of luck. Granted I would recommend never playing a blizzard game.
    -Pay to win: New heroes are locked deep behind battle pass, or surprise surprise if you buy it you get them INSTANTLY WOW. This practice is so unbelievably scummy I decided to never play another Blizzard game again. They've permanently lost me as a customer. I don't care who buys them or what they do at this point.

    I could keep going on. Overwatch 2 is straight up inferior to the original in almost any way you can imagine, and they destroyed a product people liked and paid for in order to bring this abomination into existence.    … 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.
