    After the release of this garbage, I can say without question that Blizzard are by far the worst "AAA" developers of all time. They have never released a true AAA quality game. Literally all their games are overpriced mobile games. Even Milestone can develop games with much higher quality, and they are only worth a small fraction of what this company's worth.

It just goes to show how extremely greedy and lazy these cheapskates are.

    Overwatch 2 is literally just a patch for Overwatch 1 that deletes 6v6. "Commit to Quality" more like Commit to Greed. What was the budget for this game, $9? I never thought I would see the day when a company is so penny-pinching, to the point that they become a real-life representation of Mr. Krabs. Not even EA is this cheap and greedy. EA are literal saints when compared to Blizzard. I don't recommend this garbage at all.    … Expand

    It's free. It's a mod of Overwatch 1. In a lot of ways, the game feels great. They changed it in the ways they needed to, to make the characters stronger, and the fighting more intense.

    Good improvement on the pvp of overwatch. Sadly it has been plagued with some launch problems like being ddosed and more but the experience in game is amazing. Can't wait for pve to launch in 2023

    all I can see negative reviews say

    Queue problem? Every time new a game released will always lack or problem something. We know it. Get over it. lol Complain about battle pass? yes all people need money to make a games. Just like Destiny 2 and Fortnite did. they are huge succeeds but why you don't complain to other games but OW2 why? lol No PVE? yes Blizzard already say that next    all I can see negative reviews say

    No PVE? yes Blizzard already say that next year. let PVP beginning for fun first. because we want to learn lots of new heroes and change skills something

    hate 5v5? I believe it's sorted out of queue quickly because 2/2/2 dps, tank and support lots of people wanted to play DPS all the time. but all tanks has been buffed and it's rock and awesome!

    Don't like Phone Number? it's good to stop hack or smurf account or swear. they should be afraid of phone number but that's bad. The **** people will enjoy it without number lol.

    Complain about already brought the old OW1 but remember we got many skins for free from loot boxes total $12 000 since it released. Be thankful for that

    I still play OW2 so much and I loved it! Please just ignored all negative people thank you     … Expand

    It's Overwatch 1, but with a few really important changes that make the game actually palatable instead of the shield-and-stun-fest of the previous iteration. 5v5 is far, _FAR_ superior to the previous 6v6 gameplay, and it feels like the balance overall has been ironed out. It's actually fun now!

    I don't understand why there is a huge negative, most likely just review bombed.

    It's alright, Overwatch 2 is still the same Overwatch. Patiently waiting for the PvE content, PvP is fun while you aren't up against stacking try hard players, as Overwatch is pretty well known for this.

    Tem toda aquela história de "ain é o mesmo jogo". Sim, é o mesmo jogo com skinzinha diferente, mas ele abriu, por exemplo, oportunidade para pessoas sem muito dinheiro, como eu, desfrutar da obra prima que é o Overwatch. Impressionado que (por enquanto) não é pay to win.

    Going to just explain that the original intent (Kaplan) was never to go F2P. And this is ONLY the pvp portion of OW2. So yes, it is essentially "JUST" an update/rework, because the rest is still to come. This is mostly a restructuring of the new monetization and transition to a live service game.

    So what does this free update bring?

    6 entirely new maps. All amazing
    3 entirely new heroes. All amazing. 4th (tank) in December
    1 entirely new mode. Amazing

    All characters have new baseline look, new animations, and new voice lines

    Major reworks to characters like Orisa and Bastion

    So how is it? Imo new meta with less shields, less cc, and less tank is literally what the game needed to be fun again. If you're a lapsed player or even a new player. Check it out, play for yourself. You might find a reason to fall back in love with the game, and at the very least, have fun again!

    You unlock heroes at a pretty steady pace as a new user.
    Battle Pass XP and Challenges are pretty good (compared to Halo and Gundam)
    Ps5/XSX versions of the game with new graphical options and other improvements

    Happy Gaming! Hope this helped    … Expand

    5v5 refreshes the game, the Battlepas gives you something to grind for.
    It is now totally free if you want to.
    It is not a complete game though, since the PvE elements are still to be added to the game.
    The mob here just does not like to objectively review the game without playing. But that is the issue with Metacritic.

    Blizzard made a cool game (update) and the toxic community of the game is not used to new products. The only thing I can say is that the farm currency is too small, I would like blizzard to take this into account and make the farm easier, and that the battlepass would pay off after pumping.

    -The biggest change for me was a removal of 1 tank. Incredible how many things this have changed.
    While original game was a SHIELD DESTROYING FEST (especially when it's reinhardt x orisa or sigma), now it's more fast, more attacking for both DPS and tanks. However I feel that gameplay for healers didn't change much. Tanks are now so fun to deal damage to. They are practically unkillable,    -The biggest change for me was a removal of 1 tank.

However I feel that gameplay for healers didn't change much. Tanks are now so fun to deal damage to. They are practically unkillable, because healers in 5v5 have more resources to sustain them. AND THIS IS FUN. Not a "game for everyone" where 12 people play and one person can't make much difference and noone gets offended. No more a game where elo hell is more real than anywhere else.

    -At first I thought that UI is mobile-like, didn't like the idea, but in fact it just feels fresh and works well with both improved UI animations (i.e. Ult glow) and new hero select animations.
    -Rome map feels fresh too, and you see that they worked on post-processing, colors look picturesque.
    -Also new Push game mode is kinda fun to play.
    -New scoreboard. FINALLY. Now it's no more a game for snowflakes and easily offended people. Not a "game that should make you feel comfortable" and just fill in the player spot in a match. Now you can actually see how your team performs, HOW YOU PERFORM and plan accordingly

    Now to things I don't like:
    -Junker Queen has a very tiny hitbox, and a looot of HP for that hitbox (imagine Tracer with 400 hp), which makes her a very difficult target and, well, unbalanced.
    -New Battle Pass system... Let's be honest, we are okay with this system in Apex Legends, but here... It just doesn't fit. You buy a Battle Pass for what reason? To have skins all other players have? Skin distribution system back in the days told a story - you opened hard earned pack and got a legendary skin for your favourite character. Or you spent a handful of currency to buy just this one skin you like. This system I liked is no more.
    -Yes, game servers can't take this much load first few days. We see it in all Blizzard games.
    -Yes, compared to original game, you wait 2 minutes to find a game on dps instead of 10+mins. This shows how dead and abandoned and forgotten the original game was. And this is Blizzard's fault.

    server issues on the first few days are annoying of course they are but running servers for a launch of one of the most popular titles in the world which without issue has been proven by every games company or every server based product in the world.

    SMS protect happens to be in nearly every other game but for ranked mode, that may be the path blizz shouldve taken, but its worth noting no one wants your number take your tinfoil hat off or you hiding something?

    worth noting I've seen people complain that skins are expensive in a world where valorant exists and charges 4x the most expensive single skin bundle for a skin bundle.

    context is everything and youll not find it in the majority of these reviews.

    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.
