    The state of this game is an absolute joke. They ruined it by trying to make it fast-paced. You have to be extremely lucky to get good tanks to win now. The new game mode is trash and not fun at all. I really hope this game dies off or they fix how greedy they are.

    I must say, as a 1.6k hour ow1 player, ow2 is the worst combination of what I expected. Unless you are 5 stacks, you will always have a teammate that does nothing the entire game. That could be because my hidden MMR was too high in ow1. I keep getting new players in my team which ruins every single game. Blizzard can easily solve this by adding a newcomer player list.

    how does one ruin a game this much, like what? I played Overwatch for a long time, but the servers are awful, they somehow messed up the aiming. Everything feels floaty it all sucks. I logged in today and half my characters were locked, characters I've already played in Overwatch 2. Like how is that even possible to screw up that badly???

    Я искренне надеялся что новый овервотч будет не хуже старого. Ведь сделать хуже такую простую по содержанию игру сложно. Но вы серьёзно!? Вылеты в первые дни, удаление основного овервотча платные герои, замена бесплатных лутбоксов на платный батлпасс, и сделать овервотч бесплатным для всех.

    OW1 was ended so you couldn't play the old game when people found out OW2 is awful.

    Everything just felt like "adjustments" then you don't get any way to get coins at all now. They are just money hungry and want to get a battle pass and play going thru the the battle pass is slow. It's like their trying to be awful on purpose.

    Game is unplayable, mainly because of an issue where the game is booting me after every earned achievement. How can releasing a "sequel" that nothing changed in only break more things? Won't be playing again until the achievement issue is fixed.

    0/10 because they took a game I paid for and played everyday and completely replaced it with something that crashes every time I get into a match. I literally own a game I can't play that replaced the game I loved. Years of $$$ and cosmetics down the drain.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overwatch 2 where the bugs for a game 3 years in development are a slap in the face. Blizzard is a reputable company that continues to make indie developer game mistakes. Hop in the game right now queue times almost 20-30 minutes, 80% of the roster is locked even for myself a day one player. Wanted to give this game a second chance but honestly it just needs to die already. Promises after promises and no transparency. Blizzard do better.… Expand

    Worst launch to a game I’ve ever played. I regret spending my money on the beta and watch point pack considering I can’t even use 2/3 of the regular characters when I’m able to actually stay in a game. It’s not like my comment will matter though lol, they’re fine with the servers being crap as long as they keep making the money

    I played Overwatch since it's original launch. It was vastly superior to it's "sequel" in nearly every way. The game had more flair, teamwork was more interesting, there was more time to work with your team, and a million-and-one little details made the experience fun. Overwatch 2 feels like a beta, still. It's missing so much. If that were the only issue, the game would be playable.I played Overwatch since it's original launch. It was vastly superior to it's "sequel" in nearly every way.

It's missing so much. If that were the only issue, the game would be playable. Instead, it's rife with bugs. Most people in the world (not hyperbole, it's affecting everyone) at the moment suddenly got locked out of almost the entire roster of heroes. Two heroes have been removed from play because of grossly abusable bugs that are affecting gameplay. There are login queues, of all things. Blizzard use to be a big deal because they made the best games, bar none. Now they're a big deal because of how far they've fallen. They should have just left Overwatch 1 live and canned Overwatch 2.… Expand

To top it all off, even if your expectation was just to simply play the same characters you enjoyed you will be sorely disappointed! I un-installed the old one shortly before 2 launched (didn't know if it'd just update or not) and downloaded 2 only to find that literally over HALF of the characters were locked and needed to be unlocked by battlepass. This game is a shell of what it used to be, and it's been going downhill for a loooooonng time. Don't listen to critics, as you probably know they're notoriously bad in this industry. It's *almost* the same exact game, which is nothing to rave about (don't understand how critics can), only difference is now you're missing a bunch of stuff.    … Expand

    When you can get in half the time heroes are locked. Constant bugs and issues. Connection to servers is hit or miss and can often be seen rubber banding. Played on PC and Switch and this is almost identical to OW1. Really thought I'd love to get back into the game but holy cow this is a mess.

    Horrible! If you’re gonna have a competitive team FPS game maybe make sure your servers don’t crap out and crash the match right before the end!!! It’s a broken, buggy game. Even tho it’s free to play don’t bother investing the time to learn and grind out the hero unlocks, play anything else and save yourself frustration.

    2. The new monetization scheme is absolutely horrendous for both new and old players. I mean $20 for a skin that came out 6 years ago and was free with the original OW credits, are you serious? This part feels like a sick joke to us original players and is just flat out disrespectful. The battle pass is also terrible but I’ll get into that.

    3. Terrible battle pass system that rewards players for paying and gives the people who don’t pay practically nothing for playing the game. I understand it’s a F2P game and skins shouldn’t be why people play, but it’s just dumb to force people to pay for the battle pass if the want to earn anything interesting especially since most of us have already bought OW.

    4. Extremely buggy and terrible launch. I don’t even need to go into detail for this one.

    5. Lack of anything new, yes they may have updated UI, added some new heroes and maps, reworked 6v6 into 5v5, and made changes to existing heroes, but why does this need to be an entirely “new” game? It feels like the same game to me aside from balancing certain things out but honestly the UI is a complete downgrade for me.

    6. Lack of new skins and content, I understand that this is more of a nitpick but like why is a skin $20 when it is basically just a re olor of the default skin? This if for multiple heroes too. 7. Still requiring specific phone numbers for new users. This is stupid. I don’t even know what else to say I feel like I could go on and on but what’s the point. Blizzard won’t listen to me or anyone else because they are a selfish and greedy company that views their fans as nothing more than consumers (which most are). I can’t help at least writing a review for this game though. Shame on blizzard for this ****    … 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.
