    The switch to 5v5 was fresh and fun at first, but as time has gone on the game has shown itself to not be very fun. Especially if you're a tank, or support main. If you're a tank, be prepared to swap in an awful rock, paper, scissors that heavily favors the first tank to swap due to ult economy. Support? Learn to run for your life, as your teammates get insta-gibbed.

    Graphics, and sound are great. Character design is solid, though the balance is atrocious. Never a good sign when they buff a character while believing they nerfed it.

    F2P has locked everything behind an overpriced paywall. There's zero meaningful progression, and the game's matchmaker must be drunk to justify it's choices.

    Games are either EZ Claps, or impossible. Fun, challenging games that could go either way? They're so rare that I can't even remember experiencing them.

    There's pretty much zero feedback in comp after games now, so it feels like QP. I get what they were trying to do by hiding your SR, but it's a terrible change. Nevermind, that your shown rank is make believe BS that has absolutely zero impact on your hidden Match Making Rating.

    I sincerely hope Blizzard figures it out before the game is dead.    … Expand

    Seems like last year's model has new characters but doesn't really offer much to the player far as it being part 2 of a series of a game, looking forward to seeing what they have in store with this game.

    The game have a lot of heroes to choose from, there is almost no bugs and it has a unique gameplay compared to other shooters.

    The only thing i hate it's the bad matchmaking.

    I mean, it's alright.
    Could be way better, it's the same game with few more characters, new maps and a new gamemode (wich I personally don't like)
    It feels like they just named it "2" to attract new players and players who used to play before but didn't do it later. If they focused on the story, and added a story mode or something it could have gone wayyy different. Hope they do something    I mean, it's alright.

    Hope they do something with this franchise, because it has great potential, but as always with blizz games, it is probably going nowhere.

    Another thing I don't like is the removal of loot boxes, that was a fair and fun way of getting free stuff in the game, now if you Want a cosmetic you're obligated to buy, because doing missions isn't worth it.

    So, basically overwatch 2 is a medium sized overwatch 1 DLC, but free with micro transactions now.

    The game itself is good, but it's the same as the first one, I can't rate it higher for much I want to do it. A better title for the game would be "Overwatch: EA"

The balance changes are still terrible, they seem to look at stats rather than fan feedback and haven't learned so from OW1. However, they have been updating the fanbase more frequently, and with Season 3 coming up, seem to be making a turn for the better.

    The whole gimmick for this game coming out was the PvE, that was the reason it's Overwatch 2 and not an update. So after 4 years the game is released in a half baked state and now PvE gets cancelled. What is the **** point? What has happened to gaming that this is what devs are able to pull this bs?

    PVE being removed is a rug pull essentially because people spent money on the game (the micro-transactions and different editions, I know the game itself is free) in anticipation of the PVE.

New support that just came out (Lifeweaver) should be in alpha testing and not a full release hero. 5v5 was an utter disaster, everyone thought it would make the game more balanced and casual friendly but it had the exact opposite affect. The game is extremely poorly balanced because before you would have a second tank to help maintain space and mitigate dps effectiveness. Now if a dps gets on a high ground with a pocket you basically have to split the sea in half to get them off.… Expand

In order to have some progression and earn stuff (since there aren’t levels anymore) for the time you spent on the game (mostly suffering other players), you will be filling a “XP” bar to complete a battle pass that you need to pay to gain access to a Premium battle pass with no really premium rewards, even after paying you need to heavily grind it. This is easily one of the biggest scams in video games history. In most of the games with a BP, if you manage to complete it, it rewards you back the complete cost of the BP itself though the levels, but that’s not the case, here you can have some ridiculous rewards as premium graffitis, voice lines, player icon, banners or the brand-new souvenirs that no one likes. That’s not the only issue with the game, but it’s my main concern as an original OW player. This game gets very boring so fast since there's no progression, there's no point on continue playing anymore. Free to play doesn’t mean you can abuse your users like that.

    Who the living Christ thought it would be a good idea to slap a "2" in front of this game's title is far, far beyond me. Uuuggghhh... This isn't a sequel, it's just a large update. The pointless "2" is just pretty much a tactic to rope people in. Oh yeah, now you get to pay for new heroes! Oh boy, how exciting!! It was so inconvenient to get free fun updates of new heroes, skins and gamemodes, now people get to drain their bank accounts for them.

    A fully-fledged co-op mode was planned to be part of this... """""sequel"""""... which a huge reason why people were interested in the game, and then out of nowhere, the idea gets scrapped, so now gamers feel this huge, crippling gut punch of disappointment. Great, now we're left with an unlikable pay2win game. Yes, co-op missions were added, but it doesn't make up for all the game's mistakes.

    A majority of players felt that the first game was fine as is, now we're all forced to play what's essentially Overwatch 1.3. In other words, something that feels like a permanent DLC you can't turn off. There are a few positives, like one tank being playable instead of two, which speeds up games a bit (although that one's a bit controversial), and there are a few balance tweaks to some characters, but at the same time, some were given changes that ruined them and made them unfun to play.    … 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.
