    First of all, Blizzard doesn't exist. Secondly, you released the same game just to implement new methods of monetization. Thirdly, the game looks as flawed as possible in 2022 in every sense.

    This game is so bad, it makes me sad. Imbalanced, broken MMR, now Pay to Win by buffing a hero you have to buy get him now instead of playing 45 levels of endless grinding. Teammates often act like bots. The free to play system ruined the entire OW1 community.

    The game was absolutely destroyed by the developers, who now cancelled PvE. Ot seems to me that blizzard do nothing to make this game better. Only worse

You had the power to make ow2 as exciting as the first one, I remember the old days when i was sitting at school and thinking about this cool new game and how i will play it when im home. Nowadays i dont have these warm dreams to get off college earlier to play ow2. I forced myself to play for a full week this is my final day, as you can see journey ended not very good. **** blizzard killed their own child and buried it at their backyard.

    Same game as OverWatch 1. The only system to be updated is the monetization system which is absolutely horrible.

    So many bugs, issues, etc.

    No more medals, no more 'on fire', even less recommendation options.

    The game has changed from 6 to 5 players, with only 1 tank instead of 2 in a party wich is ok as a game mode but why force it upon the entire game? Some support heroes are so weak now because that extra shield is gone...

    And don't even get me started on the 'you can earn ingame currency with weekly challenges'. Well yeah you can earn €0.60 each week and a legendary skin costs €20, so you'll be grinding for almost half a year for 1 skin. I played ow1 for almost 5 years, and the last 2 years I actually got my wife so far as to play it with me, but since ow2 we just don't like it anymore and she moved on from the game.

    So sad to see one of ly all time favorite games turn into an absolute cash grab. I hope it fails tremendously! But hey at least 'it's free to play'. Blizzard I hope you choke on your money!    … Expand

    An monetary update that removed content from the original game. A blatant lie about PVE. Took a steak and turned it into a hamburger patty. Game get’s a zero as they flat out lied, killing the first game in the process. Unacceptable. 2 year boycott to all things Blizzard.

    It's pay to win trash. Just sell it up front like the original instead of locking characters behind a paywall. Removing the original game shows just how scummy they are. The free way of unlocking characters is in no way reasonable. It's because of games like this that I no longer bother with anything "F2P". The uninstall is the only good thing about it.

    OW2 made me write my first MC-review.
    After playing OW1 since Beta this game is one of the worst downgrades in the history of gaming.
    - Removing original OW because it doesn't bring enough moneys is a joke - One-tank concept doesn't work at all - Terrible balance - Not playable as casual player - BattlePass is a perverted joke - Map-lighting looks weird and off-beat (how can you    OW2 made me write my first MC-review.

    This game is disgusting. Better keep the first up than lunching this **** The PVE was the only reason for the second, and they canceled it by lack of funds but put 1.5M in a LGBTQIA+ event no one carred. I'm not against LGBT events but when it cost the game to die that's a problem. Hope one day all those people will get fired and try new things for restarting the licence.

    The promised Overwatch 2 was specifically the PvE content. Now that story is dead in favor of a monetized system of seasonal battle passes. They figured well they can't make consistent money on a box priced game. They prefer to stick to a battle pass system and scrap PvE all together. We need JEFF BACK!!! SAVE US!!!

    Game economics suck, an outfit cost 1/3 the price of the original overwatch. Just FIY, I got 24 legendary outfit in the original game just for 60 euro. I would have to pay 500 euro in that f2p version just to have the same skins, not even counting the epic and rare. It's a rip off.

He was done with the game after about 3 days of casual non-competitive play at night.

    'Allowing' me to open my wallet because a 'new bundle' hit the shop doesn't mean the game will be automatically good. The game should be good to start, giving me an incentive to occasionally throw some money towards it.

    The gameplay is good, but other than maps and a couple of characters, nothing has changed in the game, meticulous donation, idiotic battlepass with a price tag under the ceiling and equally idiotic quests. "You can get everything just by playing the game," right ? Thanks, I'm not going to spend billions of time in the game to get a skin I like by paying for this game earlier. Especially your ways of getting things involve living in it.

I didn’t pay for the real overwatch 6 years ago just to end up with a trashy free overwatch 2 reboot.

    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.
