    Idk how, but Blizzard made the worst game, starting with the animation of throwing shurikens on Genji at 30 fps, ending with a new balance and maps.

    blizzard is ruining everything it touches. I've played this game since the original beta. This isn't a sequel, and this isn't Overwatch. This is the diablo immortal of OW, except the juries still out on whether people will fall for it and give the $$$ they want.

    This is awful, and another reminder that we still need legislation that mandates video game companies keep old games running    blizzard is ruining everything it touches. I've played this game since the original beta. This isn't a sequel, and this isn't Overwatch. This is the diablo immortal of OW, except the juries still out on whether people will fall for it and give the $$$ they want.

    This is awful, and another reminder that we still need legislation that mandates video game companies keep old games running or allow us to. Blizzard could have released a server & client for OW1, let us host our own servers for it if they wanted to wipe their hands of it. Such was the NORM whenever a company killed a game just a short decade ago. Instead, they're allowed to literally commit theft in all but the legal sense now.

    "it's only $20" yes, it was $20 6 years ago, and I want my game. Funnily enough, many other publishers get the message, and EVEN ELECTRONIC ARTS (EA), YEAH THEM, THEY KEEP THEIR OLD GAMES RUNNING. Simcity 2000 is playable today on the modern EA client. It's a sad day when EA overtakes blizzard, but here we are, it's happened both greed wise and 'give a hoot' wise.

    $20 for 1/1000th of what we could get for free cosmetics wise just days ago. 100x or harder or more to earn in game cosmetics. All in the name of blizzards greed. It's a sad day when lootboxes are the preferred and more reasonable option to what we have now.

    The game feels worse than OW1 at launch and OW1 before they took it down this week. It's got 1/10th the balancing, 1/10th the QOL features, 1/10th the good artwork, and somehow 10x the bugs and toxicity. 6/8 games tonight have had toxic all chat. Oh yeah, and supports are in jail now everywhere outside of GM to OWL range.

    They also made the engine worse, plain and simple. You can't play the old OW1 and tell me it feels better, even given the hero changes and identical stats. I can't say exactly WHAT they did, but it feels more valorant-y. But not entirely valornt, just a weird tinge of valorant engine on the old OW1 engine.

    Oh yeah, and this indie dev couldnt keep servers up for 2 days during launch. EA did better with FIFA.

    I hope blizzard makes a lot of money from the 9 year olds stealing their parents credit card to buy skins on OW. I won't be spending a cent on the game.

    Oh yeah, and smurfing is still a thing, btw.. As if the people who could afford to buy multiple game accounts to smurf can't afford phone plans or dont have connections to people who would offer a phone #.. a class of 9th graders could've found half the errors in OW2 and i cannot believe it's been shipped like this

    OW2 is beat by everything else. It's lost its unique niche, and now it's a poor attempt at being something it never was or could be. I guess we'll see if they eventually manage to kill the very last of the visible spirit and slowly build their own valorant out of OW. Sad they couldn't just make another IP and decided to kill this one instead for their battlepass greed fix. (in case your wondering, blizzard made billions on OW lootboxes each year in profit. Problem is, they want valorant's tens of billions, and couldnt care less about us.

    Blizzard has it's sights set on the whales, and they've designed OW2 to try and bring them in and make existing players lives hard enough that they become the whales for them. Wonder if it'll convert enough people into monterary slaves for em.

    This review is long. I'm just sad they killed my game. Thousands of hours, T500 for multiple seasons and GM others, and it's just gone. Change for the sake of change. Theft for the sake of greed.

    Blizzard's abandoned this game, so personally I think someone just reverse engineer OW1 source code and publish a server/client. In the US, there's an abandoned video game exception to the DMCA. If blizzard tries to claim they didn't abandon it, they have to legally prove that the exact same game exists today per 2018 case law. Just waiting to see it published somewhere.. can't be the only one thinking about it    … Expand

    Ruined overwatch. Every class is dps now. Win/Lose is way too heavily impacted by a single tank slot. Lazy and poorly researched changes. Feels unbalanced. Skins and battle pass are a horrible cash grab. Battle pass lacks any mechanics to reward play time. Skins are overpriced garbage. Bad launch. Bad game. Bad business model. RIP.

    My original thoughts still stand but I have enjoyed the new change to 5v5. However I do mainly play open queue which leads to much more interesting team compositions. There's so much that still needs to be ironed out in this game. Hero balancing needs a ton of work but it will get there. What I really miss the most is award voting at the end of games, medals, leveling up and the showing of other people's levels during a game. The scoreboard is okay but the old one felt superior for personal stats. It does help if you think a teammate would be better off being in a different role as you can easily see how everyone is doing and make a suggestion.



    Original:
    I feel like they've ruined what used to be an awesome game.

    I played Overwatch for nearly 1000 hours. Definitely one of the best games I've ever played with the most intense moments, particularly in competitive. Overwatch 2 felt like Apex at times. It's like they had to add lots of sounds, turn the saturation up to 100 to add appeal to the game. It doesn't feel right. The lack of prestige levels makes it feel like your playing without progression. Not entirely sure what benefit there was to removing them. I know it's free to play now but I hate how expensive everything is. I don't consider 1900 credits a reasonable price for what is essentially just a digital cosmetic. It's a real shock going from how Overwatch worked to this. Collecting all of the items was a real pull for me playing Overwatch and now I feel as though I'm just being excluded because I'm unwilling to throw hundreds of pounds at blizzard. I just don't believe in this type of game monetisation system. I mean I get a free game but I'd much rather pay for a game and not be excluded from things.

    The in game stat screen is a definite downgrade. Yes it's nice seeing other people's stats but I care more about my own. It's not quick or easy to read. The showing of other stats only creates internal team competition rather than focusing on the objective of the game mode. It will inevitably lead to a lot of calling out of those who think certain teammates aren't pulling their weight.

    I miss the awarding of medals based on each stat and the voting system at the end to call out good gameplay. The simplification of the endorsement system is also a downgrade, it could have been expanded to actually help describe what each player is good at contributing to a team.

    I didn't feel as though I was really connected with what was going on gameplay wise whilst playing. It felt odd as I never felt this way in OW1. I just wasn't getting hyped when we were pushing on objective or about to win. At times it felt like the whole gameplay was just a mess. These are probably the most obvious things I've noticed so far.

    Now for what I liked. The new characters are good, have inventive abilities and are quite fun to play. The addition of more hot button commands to share info with your team (going in, defending, watching here etc) are really good. This is something that was really lacking in OW1.

    I'll update this as things progress.    … Expand

Everything in the shop is overpriced whether or not you can grind for them, and Locking heroes behind a battlepass, forcing you to either pay up or Grind for weeks just to keep up in a competitive is not acceptable, in a Hero based game it is ridiculous and has a net negative on the game, providing no silver lining besides that the execs get even more money

    They made the decision to remove one tank player from each team as well as most CC and some barriers in the game. However they have utterly fail to change and redesign the roster in order to fit with this new environment, causing a meta that heavily favored The Flankers and precision based players while severely weakening the already unpopular but very necessary support and tank players.


    The game also failed to live up to even the bare minimum expectations, players have been waiting 3yrs for this and yet i can name all of the new things OW2 has in a single Breath.

    This game gets 0 as it is an overall downgrade in almost every aspect from OW1, the game it replaced and all of these new greed based changes are compounded by the fact that players have been patient waiting several years for this suffering through extremely long content drought that was al in vain.    … Expand

    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.
