    Loved how overwatch looked. When you were on fire it was distinct, when you killed someone it was more known. Now it’s the opposite and just overall not very appealing. The game feels like it should have been an update, not an entirely new game. Very little content just a new layout with reworked characters that aren’t anything amazing.

    It could be the best game in the world but making it a stipulation to have a contractually post post paid phone plan to play is classist. Blizzards motive is to sell user data, not to enrich the player experience. It has no bearing on the gameplay, and only serves to gatekeep and exclude players. It is the opposite of the spirit of gaming and play the Blizzard should strive for.

    A true piece of garbage if there ever was one. A joke of an afterbirth to Overwatch 1. What an embarrassment. Bring back OW1!!!

Never have I ever seen a **** launch from Blizzard in the 27 years I've been playing their games. They have lost the plot, it's not about making good games anymore and building a culture around their titles, I think Blizzard has joined the scum model of EA and trying to turn their fans into ATM's. Really sad to see a company that was so great and supported their fan base go down this route. I wish the dev's good luck, but the PM's and and other senior staff that thought it was a good idea to steal players money and turn off Overwatch 1 and shovel this **** out the door. I hope you guy's feel the full might of your community you building. You will be held responsible. The IP you idiots are **** with has a proud fan base, good luck.… Expand

    Not only ruined favorite characters, like Bastion as an example, but also took away the option to play a game already purchased and paid for and well liked to replace it with this steaming pile of garbage. Blizzard, you done screwed up. This is not to even mention the botched launch. This is horrible. If Overwatch wasn't completely dead before, it is now.

"oh have some compassion they are working hard" ya to rip you off. those people need to wake up. this a is soulless broken update disguised as sequel, made for the soul purpose of ringing out the fans for cash like a wet sponge. embarrassing.… Expand

    the game became unplayable, not only because of the servers, but also for the gameplay that became only a "push push push". Tanks that are not tanks anymore, they do only damage, and the prove of this is that the only tank with a shield is reinhardt (infact no one uses him anymore).
    I gave 1 point only because junker queen is fun to play.

    Сидеть полтора часа в очереди, чтобы после трёх матчей тебя выкинуло, снова встать в очередь на час и, когда останется 10 человек, попросить снова ввести логин и пароль и заново кинуть в очередь! Просто изумительно.

    Promising, overmarketed game to make more money to company that used to have decent games years ago. battle-pass, unbalanced, queues, technical issues are the new key features of this overhyped game.

    I have time to write a review while I'm sitting in line.
    Blizzard has had this problem for 10 years since Diablo 3 and they still can't figure out how to need more servers before release because a small indie studio doesn't have the money to rent more server space.
    It was also impossible to preload the game, which is why the download speed after the release was about 1 MB. And    I have time to write a review while I'm sitting in line.

    And against the background of all this, one can only be glad that they did not change the game, because you understand that modern Blizzards cannot cope even with such trivial tasks, which means that they are already unable to make a new high-quality game.

    Their modern team can only be offended and spoil the fans' favorite games, and they are no longer able to do something worthwhile.    … Expand

    I don't think I've seen a worse launch.

    The game plays fine enough, buggy and in need of some minor tweaks, but fine. Minus the awful queue times. In general, it's upsetting. I don't think I've ever seen a more soulless update as a long time player. I can't believe they deleted OW1 for this steaming, hot sack of **** and quite frankly predatory monetization. I grinded to try and    I don't think I've seen a worse launch.

    I grinded to try and get a skin I wanted for 3,000 coins before the first game shut down, was unsuccessful in meeting my goal, and then see that skin marketed to me on OW2 for $20. So. **** Gross.

    They removed so many good functions (LFG, Loot Boxes, Stay as Team, On fire. etc) and I'm honestly just distraught that they took so much flavor out of the game. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy the game, but this **** is so greedy. It's not the same game that I played just days ago, it's a sad downgrade.

    Though I highly doubt it, I hope the corporate overlords over at Blizzard HQ listen to their fan base.    … Expand

    My favorite shooter going free to play is a massive move.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overwatch 2 - показатель халатного отношения разработчиков не только к самой игре, но и игрокам. Я большой фанат этой франшизы, и только поэтому начну с плюсов. Добавление новых героев и карт, но опять же, это можно было сделать и в первом Overwatch. Улучшение графики. На этом всё.
    Перейдём к минусам.
    Как только мы заходим в Overwatch 2, нас встречает экран очереди. То есть, разработчики запланировали дату выпуска игры, удалили Overwatch 1, и не позаботились даже о стабильности и нагрузке серверов. Теперь чтобы поиграть в любимую игру, приходится ждать более часа. И то, если вам повезёт и вас не выбьет.
    Если вы все-таки переживете первый круг ада вместе с другими 2000 игроками в очереди, вы увидите «прекрасный» главный экран с кривым шрифтом, и лишними анимациями. Также убрали какую-либо анимацию похвал других игроков, ни звука, ни анимации, ничего. О балансе в этой игре даже говорить смысла нет, разработчики просто выпустили игру по дедлайну, абсолютно не готовую. Такое ощущение что выпустили не игру, а бета тест.    … Expand

The graphics got a significant downgrade and looks like it was ripped straight from a mobile game. The redesigns for old characters are so bad they almost make me upset. The gameplay is the same. 5v5 is a useless change. The hero menu looks vapid and empty. The hero portraits are lifeless and the GUI is hideous. The game had one of the worst launches I have ever seen in my life, still being broke asl before Blizzard decided to release, resulting in them getting DDOSed twice. They won't respond to inquiries about linking old accounts with most of the cosmetics. I have a support ticket that has been ignored for 6 days. I won't even mention them requiring you to register your phone number and recording transcripts of every word you'll ever say in an Overwatch 2 match chat. Overwatch 2 took whatever good was left in Overwatch and stomped it into submission with the sole intention of preying on you and sucking money from you like a parasite. It's so ironic how Overwatch used to be a game beloved by everyone made my a fan-favorite company. Overwatch 2 is a vapid and emotionless shell of a game made by a company everyone hates.… 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.
