    My Queue sim came with a strange menu.

    Tbh it's sad that blizzard has become nothing but a cluster f*ck of a company. It's literally Overwatch 1 but they added 2 Hero's, removed a lot of stuff and added a battle pass.

    Overall Overwatch 2 is a downgrade. It is just a worse Overwatch 1 with monetization. They implemented changes that made heros feel clunky. Despite complaints, they decided to keep many of the changes.

    After playing OW2 for a while, the insidious thought that slowly creeps on you is to pay up before you get your keester blasted by wealthy sweats with the current monetization model! Blizzard knows how to collect desperate gamer cash, pure geniuses.

    5 years for a reskin and slightly tweaked abilities. This game is garbage. Balance is bad. Single tank sucks. Orisa is broken. Can't queue. Obvious cash grab with a **** battle pass system. From such heights blizz fell to this broken shell of a schill game producer

    They deleted a perfectly functioning enjoyable fps and replaced it with a festering turd of a f2p mess. To gain a comparison for anyone wondering. Imagine if blizzard had deleted diablo 3 to make diablo immortal but the diablo immortal servers were constantly ****

    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.

    I love waiting in 20 min-3 hr+ queues to play a broken garbage game. Not only could you lose your items, disconnect mid game, or even need a phone number to play but you can also get your heros locked randomly for no reason. I would rather deal with lootboxes and tryhards on OW1 then be forced to play another second of this game.

    Look, the gameplay isn't (too) bad. And the servers do not suck, because it is still early days and they have just had DDoS attacks for days, so the server issues and lack of play are not their fault.

    The same cannot be said for the greedy, disingenuous and lackluster 'battlepass', which is a worse than Clash of Clans and is not only lackluster but pointless, as it bestows flaky,    Look, the gameplay isn't (too) bad.

    The same cannot be said for the greedy, disingenuous and lackluster 'battlepass', which is a worse than Clash of Clans and is not only lackluster but pointless, as it bestows flaky, rushed cosmetics and a new hero who most of the playerbase can get for free (OW1 players), and new players can obtain by grinding out the game which they would do anyway if they wanted to get any of the skins, which brings me onto my next point that the monetization is practically RAID: Shadow Legends. Ever since Uncle Jeff left, the game and the user experience has gone downhill, and now we have exorbitant prices and impeccably low challenge rewards. 8 months for one skin is not at all fair. Furthermore they have replaced the original, specific endorsement system, which is not bad but unnecessary, and removed levels to 'combat toxicity', which is completely absurd as now we do not only have no skins to show our progress and levels, but now do not have any levels to show it either.

    I love Overwatch and the gameplay is sweet, minus a few balancing and some UI fixes, but if they want their game to be successful like it can and rightfully should be, they need to seriously buckle down and look at the success Fortnite's Battlepass granted Epic Games, or the stigma and hatred pointed towards their adopted mobile-game system.    … Expand

    Activisions predatory practices and putting shareholder over consumers has once again created a money grabbing crap fest.

    Not only players who bought the game recieved nearly nothing cosmetic but the game has unstable and uncapable servers with queues up to 40000 players just to enter the game.
    Really hope Blizzard bumps down the price for the battle pass and give old players more cosmetics or coins like in PUBG when it became free.

You now need to grind the battle pass to unlock new heroes, and skins are locked behind $20 bundles.

    Game would be fun if the servers weren't so awful even after the server patch. The monetization scheme in this game is disgusting however. The team went back on the idea of giving players every character in return of a pay for new character system, and with how blizz releases new characters it makes it pay to win. That's not even mentioning the awful skin monetization.

    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.
