    You need to provide a mobile phone number, otherwise you can't play. It will take hours to queue up to enter the game, and network error occurs after entering the game.

They have turned a beloved game into one giant shooting fest. Teamplay is no longer a part of the equation because it's basically every man for themselves trying to do as much damage as possible. There are snipers and one-shot kills EVERYWHERE. This is an active choice Blizzard has made to cater to a wider audience which will slowly turn this to a generic shooter.

    Now with the free-to-play model, a ton more players are in the game, and the short queue times are possible the only positive thing about it. It brings a crap load of Fortnite-like players who has no clue of what teamplay means. Not a single person is paying attention to what is happening around them. Everyone is focused on the nearest enemy and you can ping out enemies, and no one cares. If your playing solo random queue, it's basically a lottery to see if you are lucky enough to get into a team that actually knows what they are doing.

    On top of making the game less fun to play for support, they've added a super expensive shop and a battle pass that means absolutely nothing for the player. It's just another way for them to milk money off their player base. In OW1 I occasionally bought a skin. In OW2, that will never happen.

    This game has turned so bad for support players that I'm seriously considering stop playing. This is from a person who have enjoyed OW1 since day one. In it's current form, I absolutely HATE OW2.

    ------------------------
    The first season ends in one week and the game is still total **** They haven't tried improving anything to make it more fun to play for support. Matchmaking is totally broken. You can end up in the losing team 6-8 times in a row, even though I am top healer in 70% of the matches.

    Tanks are still out damaging DPS heroes and there are a ton of people playing tank who doesn't have a clue on how to play the role. Going 5v5 is the worst decision Blizzard has made. One bad tank, one tank that throws, and the game is over. They have literally made the most important role the one that people fail the most playing. They made the changes to appeal to damage dealers, and guess who plays tank...? Damage dealers that have zero clue on how to play.

    OW2 is still a total disaster and messed up garbage of a game. Stay away if you don't like frustration, long queues and people who don't give a crap about their teammates. I 100% HATE this game and people who have made it.    … Expand

    I can say with absolute sincerity that Overwatch 2 is terrible. It's one of the worst games I've ever played. The characters are generic and ineffectual, the matches are either a complete steamroll with you either instantly winning or losing with zero in-between, and the graphics make it look like it came out more than a decade ago.

    Blizzard has taken content out of the game and added utterly insulting microtransactions. It's appalling, honestly. Eight months to unlock a single skin, several years to unlock everything on one character. A battle pass that locks playable characters behind it. And to top it all off, the video game that I purchased with my own money has been completely removed and I cannot access it, anymore. If I ever wanted to boot up Overwatch again, I would have to settle for Walmart Great Value version that Blizzard is calling a sequel.

    First, they took one of my childhood games from me, removed it from existence, and replaced it with a broken mess. Warcraft III was only the first sacrifice. I have uninstalled all Blizzard games and will not be giving them money, from here on out. I have boycotted the demonic entity that is wearing Blizzard's face. I highly suggest everyone do the same so we can finally shut down this monstrosity.    … Expand

    They only changed the layout and added some maps and 1 game mode. It doesn't have the campaign as it was in the trailers since the beginning of the disclosure. Online casino has now increased with battle pass. Voices of old voice actors mixed with new voice actors. One more game to waste. I've never seen a game cease to exist to become 2.

    Unfortunately, Blizzard has once again failed to meet even the low, low bar they have set for standards. Overwatch 2 or, 1.5 until it actually releases PvE, has been riddled with more frustrating bugs than the release of Cyberpunk.

    OW '2' has ruined the experience for me. The battle pass is insultingly bad, you cant get ANY legendary skins for free through it. It's Buy or Die

    Not to mention it's riddled with bugs and is horribly incomplete. Even when it works, ts insulting to call it a sequel

    Game would be fun if the servers weren't so awful even after the server patch. The monetization scheme in this game is disgusting however. The team went back on the idea of giving players every character in return of a pay for new character system, and with how blizz releases new characters it makes it pay to win. That's not even mentioning the awful skin monetization.

    I wrote in support, they answered only two days later and said just wait, maybe they will fix it.

    There are thousands of people on the forums with the same problem. Blizzard doesn't answer.

    But I congratulate you all, we have a "wonderful" battle pass. We all "dreamed" about it. Someone in Blizzard's leadership went crazy, released a very bad update and called it Overwatch 2.

    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.
