    thx blizzard for making us wait 4 years for nothing. Oh, I have an idea how about putting number 2 on the game and making skins 20$ to milk the stupid player, the casuals, and the kids. ......what? an old fans and players who pay 60$ to the game and support us? screw them!!!

    the sad part is that there are players non-gamers who pay stuff like **** He simply don't give a **** that

    Look how they massacred my boy :(. Another great franchise completely destroyed by greed and anti-consumerism.

Activision Blizzard are some scumbag liars by saying Overwatch 1 would be cross-compatible with Overwatch 2. Not to mention lying AGAIN by saying that you wouldn't be needing your Overwatch 1 coins for Overwatch 2 and to spend them while you still can. NEWSFLASH, you can get items easily with the Overwatch 1 coins, it's almost as if they made us all waste our coins from Overwatch 1 to use their NEW CURRENCY that you have to pay REAL MONEY for! Overwatch does NOT need to have live service BS implemented into it and definitely does NOT need to be pay to win. Overwatch is the kind of game where you switch heroes to counter the enemy team which is exactly WHY heroes should NOT be LOCKED behind a PAY-WALL for this particular game! If you haven't bought the battle pass to get a certain character that is powerful/broken, guess what, YOU LOSE! FUN!!! BATTLE PASS DIFFERENTIAL!!! This really used to be something special back in 2016-2017 and they just pissed all over its iconic glory. This just goes to show that companies can VERY EASILY kill off a franchise by being greedy corporate scumbags. No wonder Jeff from the Overwatch Team left. Rip Overwatch 2016-2022, ruined and desecrated by Activision Blizzard. TF2 here I come! Expand

    Overwatch 2 "the downgrade update", thanks for removing our competitive match history, free skins via lootboxes and the leveling system. Overwatch 2 the scam of the year.
    Update: The game is now officially pay 2 win what a wonderful time to play blizzard games.

    I've never played Overwatch 1 but my friends were always praising this game so when I heard Overwatch 2 was free I got interested to download and play it but it wants me to give them my phone number and I'm never gonna support such practices. In the end I did not give them the number, guess I'm never gonna play this game.

    As someone who played this game since 2016 i have to say that this game isnt exactly bad but its the most dissappointing, disrespectful, infuriating game sequel i have ever played in my life, they literally cut off 2 years of an update cycle to work on this game and what do we get?
    A recycled garbage with battle pass seasons and insanely expensive microtransactions.
    For example Overwatch

    A recycled garbage with battle pass seasons and insanely expensive microtransactions.
    For example Overwatch 1 was 20$, now for 20$ on Overwatch 2 all you get is ONE LEGENDARY SKIN THAT WOULD BE FREE TO GET ON OVERWATCH 1!!!!!
    They knew people were gonna hate this game so they decided to close the original game so now if you want to play Overwatch you need to play the sequel filled with microtransactions and overpowered Tanks like Zarya who has 2 **** shields now making her impossible to kill.
    speaking off Tanks you MUST play role queue if your into comp becuase if the enemy team has 3 Tanks and 2 healers then its pretty much game over

    Anyways in conclusion this game is exactly the same but they decided to either ruin the whole purpose of different characters like Mei and Doomfist or make characters super op like Zarya, cant forget about the endless microtransactions aswell which they this season decided to invest in alot for this halloween event then to actually make better servers or a fun to play halloween event

    **** YOU BLIZZARD AND STOP SEXUALLY ASSUALTING YOUR WORKERS FOR ****SAKE AND DEVELOP THE GAME!!!

    Absolute **** Terrible balancing and map design. The only thing that is enjoyable in this game is the custom games. Don't forget the fact it will censor out **** but not censor out "tie a noose."

    Taken what was given to the players at $60 and marked it up by 4000%. They literally took away the content(maps, cosmetics), worsened the UI and called it Overwatch2.

    Well done blizzard. You cannot enter the game, the game is not displayed in the library and in the store, pay to win mechanics have been added, unrealistically expensive skins, new heroes in the battle pass. We haven't been waiting for this for 3 years without updates in overwatch 1. Disgusting attitude towards a loyal audience.

    Игра от жадных создателей. Отсутствие поддержки Windows 7. Сервера не выдерживающие игроков. Слишком много донатных фантиков. Лагающие аккаунты и лаунчеры игры.

    This game died 4 years ago and Blizzard's poor attempt to revive it only made it worse. I mean, did anyone really expect Blizzard to produce anything good nowadays? The recent works they've put out are a **** Warcraft 3 Remake, Diablo the Crash Grab Mobile Game, Overwatch content update but we're calling it a sequel, and a huge sexual harassment lawsuit. **** you, Blizzard.

    They simply added a few heroes and maps to the old game, and they call it 2. They used to add much more to the original game years ago. This game is like a joke now. Let people select to play OW 1, it is much better than this "thing".

    They couldn't even make a good launch, lots of people can't even reach the main menu after waiting for so long...

    it feels like they just changed stuff for the sake of justifying the games existence. like they redid all the interfaces and character designs, but almost all of these changes straight up look worse. it's obvious that the pvp for this game was rushed out the door. the amount of new characters we got is also way less than what we used to get from the free overwatch 1 updates.

    Game feels like cheap version of overwatch, feels like they didn't listen to what the player base and removed 6v6 and turned it into 5v5. Hiding new characters behind was a terrible idea and the game feels less enjoyable and more like I'm forced to do it.

    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.
