    Blizzard has ruined the game. I loved Overwatch 1, nothing should have been changed. Everything was perfect. If they wanted to release something new, maybe they should have just released a few maps and that's it. Now you can't play a hero anymore. All of them have been completely nerfed in some way. Unplayable. 0 / 10 stars.

    Honestly just the pricing alone is vile.

    The gameplay isn't all to fresh, maps are nice (not that you see them much).

    The servers are just a bag of poo. Like holy moly don't Q ranked if you value not being able to re-join matches. just honestly such a let down for such a long wait. It's just a big sigh of meh right now.

The recycle old skins and now sell them for real money, which no change or whatsoever. The game is buggy and glitches. The battle pass is so unrewarding. They locked old characters and expect money for them too, but still have challenges for the locked characters. It is f2p so every match is full with new players that completely destroy the experience for anyone that actually wants to play the game. They raise the prices and a voiceline got from 25 to 100 coins or now it costs 2$ - a voice line. Ridiculous!… Expand

    Shame on you Blizzard.
    We paid the full price to get the full game, characters and skins included. And now, you turn it into a free-to-play where characters are locked unless you grind, where previously in-game currency acquirable skins are now only obtainable by paying 20€ (HALF THE PRICE OF OVERWATCH!!!) or by grinding EVERY challenges for 8 MONTHS to get a SINGLE yellow skin, and with    Shame on you Blizzard.

You could have at least given the price people paid for Overwatch in payable currency (Overwatch Coin), that's the least you could have done. And i'm not even talking about reimbursing the game here.

    I kept it polite in this comment, but trust me Activision-Blizzard, my heart is a lot less polite than what i wrote.
    I was considering coming back to the game i enjoyed so much. Never again. Never am i gonna buy or play anything from you again. Shame on you for disrespecting your players. Shame on you. Simply disgusting.    … Expand

    By overwriting Overwatch 1, a game that was worth every penny, with this F2P "buy our newest cosmetics" fest of a game, they've lost all of what was great about the game. It's sad to see, as I poured hours of time into Overwatch, only to have it all sapped away with advertisements for new skins. I'm done with this company. They won't be getting any more of my money.

Unfortunately, I can only give it a 5 because the game has no scoreboard, ranked mode, and any standard game modes like TDM, capture the flag, etc. The biggest flaw of all is that after winning, the game puts u into this very boring hero shooter mini-game that just feels kinda out of place.… Expand

Do I think it deserves to be rated as low as it is now, no. There's still a good game burried under the mountain of issues I have with it. It took Blizzard eight year, EIGHT, to produce what most other developers call an "update" not a sequel. You can make the argument that changing it from 6v6 to 5v5 changes up the flow of the game and makes it feel somewhat fresh and the movement away from stun and CC with balancing has made the game infinitely more playable. But does this make it a warrented sequel, absolutely not. Putting aside the terrible launch controversies with outrageous queue times and server issues, the game is still not very great. It borrows A LOT from it's predescessor and doesn't really adapt it in any new or unique way. Another issue I have with the game is that it completely absorbed Overwatch 1 meaning that if you want to go back and experience the first game again, tough luck. Knowing Blizzard this is going to be turned into a ploy to resell the first game and call it a "remaster" but I digress. The game is also somehow more monitized than the first game. The first games lootboxes were pretty simple, you would level up once and be able to obtain one lootbox per level. If you played the game enough, you could unlock all the skins you wanted pretty easily. Now, they've moved to a battlepass system except it is an incredibly skewed battlepass. In other games with a battlepass system like Fortnite, you can obtain coins by completing the battle pass even without buying it that would allow you to buy things in the shop. However, in Overwatch 2, there is none of that. Instead, all of the skins are locked behind the premium battlepass so if you want any of the new skins but don't want to shovel any more money into an objectively evil company, tough luck. Overall, a lazy game not deserving of the sequel title and was obviously called a sequel simply to generate hype to hopefully revive the dead franchise. Unfortunately, does not seem like it worked for them.… Expand

I loved and I still do love most of the characters introduced in Overwatch: Tracer, Brigitte, Cassidy (McCree originally), Soldier 76, Winston, Reinhardt, Sombra, Mercy, etc. And even in Overwatch 2 they introduced Kiriko which became instantly one of my favourites.

    It didn't really bother me for this game to be just one big update for the previous one, instead of full sequel. In the end, it's free and there is still going to be (I hope at least) PVE story mode.

    But the way Blizz decided to make monetization system is just unforgivable. They truly f**ked that up. Not only they randomly locked half of the characters in roster for every single person who didn't buy Watchpoint pack, they also completely destroyed progression/rewards system. That involves cosmetics and heroes themselves. New heroes, you can acquire by completing Battle Pass, but the old ones, you have to unlock them by paying with virtual currency. Which ofcourse you can get only by using your credit card. What is it? Is Blizz saying that you can get those coins by playing? Oh, you mean those 60 coins you can get only once in a week by completing weekly challenges? Well go fu** yourselves there in Blizzard with this bullsh**. That'd be Ok if legendary skins for heroes, wouldn't cost 2 000 COINS and BP 1000 COINS!!! ARE YOU OUTTA YOUR MIND?! And Blizz have enough guts for coming on game forums, saying that they are not satsified with this progression/rewards system as well, so that they could say there will be some changes in season 2. Guess what! They didn't change literally anything! F*** YOU!

    The saddest thing about all of this is the fact, that the game itself is still fun, it's still enjoyable, the gameplay is still great. But all the things around all of this is just pure awful bulls**it that never needed to happen. I'm sick and tired of watching these favourite game franchises of mine getting butchered and destroyed by some ass**les in nice outfits who only wishes to suck money out of faithful gamers. I'm sick that I have to leave another great game I used to love for it's wonderful gameplay and characters within really good story and this wonderful universe.

    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.
