    just registered to make you know that this game is a garbage :)
    Version for 6 players was much more balanced then this. Half of character pool is just useless atm.

    I'm shocked with blizzard's greed, normal servers were not paid, knowing that there would be a huge influx of players, old players were not given a bp (which by the way cannot be recouped and earn currency, delicious), this garbage (game) will not live long

    It's THE WORST update in the game industry EVER.

    First of all, QUEUES. Really big queues. You can wait for hours to play this game. And when you've passed an exhausting long queue, the server crashes, and you need to wait in the queue again.

    Secondly, terrible OPTIMIZATION. I've got a laptop that passes all system requirements for playing Overwatch, but the game's crushing every 5-10 mins of gameplay. But ok, I've tried to play on the Nintendo Switch, and I can't pass phone confirmation; it just doesn't work.

    Thirdly, when I finally passed all circles of hell. I've noticed that there aren't any updates to call it Overwatch 2 instead of Overwatch 1.2. Now this game it's just another lousy alternative to Fortnite.

    Shame on you, Blizzard!    … Expand

    New game absolutely SUCKS!!! Servers are dead, optimization is dead, and you need to pay real world money to buy in-game cosmetics!! Game had lootboxes before but every item used to be obtainable without paying, it was optional, but now its just AGGRESSIVE! DISGUSTING... They killed not the original overwatch but Blizzard itself and I'm glad this happened....

    does the company only allow paying players to register? IN A FREE GAME? I can say that Blizzard hit a new bottom in the gaming industry. (English is not my native language)

    Already not great. I probably wont even play it. Why?? Because they require a phone number to login. Well I dont live in my home country right now and when I requested to change my region they said it's impossible so create a new account. I do not want to lose my progress for the last few years of playing Overwatch. They should not force to enter a phone number, they should have other options.

    Ignore the salty ones in the reviews. The game is a quantum leap from OW1. A lot more dynamic, fast-paced and less repetitive. New metas will arise and various very welcome improvements.

    I also commend Blizzard for at least attempting to fight off cheaters, smurfs and disruptive folks. Let's be honest, of that that there was plenty in OW1. Thank you.

    Cut Blizzard some slack and just enjoy the game for what it is. If you're facing issues, give them a few days to iron out the kinks that any game launch with this big of an audience is prone to have.

    Thanks for a great update, Blizz.    … Expand

    Looks like scam - I bought Overwatch 1, but they decided to kill whole game by stop updating, then just turned it off. In overwatch 2 they maximised monetisation, there is no fun at all. And I can't return to old version, even i paid for it, wtf.

    A big disappointment both for me and for the whole community. It is obvious that modern Blizzard wants to get rid of the "unnecessary" players who paid for the game and received all the content in it just by playing.
    Positive:
    + The graphics in the game have improved slightly. + Rebalancing of some characters only benefited the game, but they literally killed some of them. Minuses: -    A big disappointment both for me and for the whole community.

    Positive:
    + The graphics in the game have improved slightly.
    + Rebalancing of some characters only benefited the game, but they literally killed some of them.
    Minuses:
    - A huge number of microtransactions. You simply can't pump the purchased BattlePass without additional expenses. BP can be farmed, but it will take 221 days, which again devalues the work of the players.
    - During the 3-year break, they released exactly as much content as they could release without a break.
    - The number 2 in the title is a joke designed to find hamsters with money who love to donate to new games and be the most fashionable in them. But there is one problem - you have to play the game, which means that Blizzard will get its profit at the start, but then it will be sharply disappointed in the massive outflow of players, as it was with everyone who abused the audience's trust.

    I want to say that no matter how you feel about the game, if it gives you pleasure - play and enjoy, but if something does not suit you, then feel free to speak about it on Twitter or on other platforms convenient to you.
    I'm disappointed...    … Expand

    Overwatch 2 is a small content patch for Overwatch. The 5 on 5 game mode is horrible. No rhythm, everyone is running and shooting, the defensive side always loses.

    Give me my Overwatch 1 back.
    Most of old characters are useless. You can only play with 4 of your friends, not 5.
    And the main problem is the game is faster, but surprisely boring.

    Worst 5v5 shooter ever. Instead of dull shield play, we get dull overhealing play and broken balance of the game's classic characters. Playing as a single tank feels like constantly beating up characters that are always full hp. If Blizzard doesn't bring back Overwatch Classic, most people will turn their backs on them.

    2. Animations and physics engine. Overwatch 1 had great character animations, walking, running animations complemented each hero's physicality. Character kinematics in OW2 looks off. For instance, Junker queen's movements looks essentially like a chop-stick figure, without any regard to her big size. Recoil effects are bit exaggerated. Some heroes are, as usual bit over-tuned, Orisa anyone ? Some are under-tuned, imo. Hanzo's, not fully drawn, arrow speed has been decreased to a point that it just looks ridiculous.

    3 Information overload: Hud, especially during active buffs, looks like a fcking disco ball. There is too much information, which itself is not the issue but the way it is displayed on the screen just takes up too much space, again not helping the playability.

    4. As everyone here has already mentioned, connection is another major issue. But I think this can be worked out over time.

    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.
