    Even without the server issues this game is still complete dog ass with its stupid **** battle pass which is just 80 levels of garbage. ( 90% of which you can't even earn if you don't shill out)

    This should have just been a patch. I noticed almost nothing different. Come on. I'll give it a 7 because OW is great fun, but this isn't a sequel, it's a shareholder thing.

    I payed for OW1, and now it's gone. To continue playing, I need to doxx myself with a phone number.

    And in OW1, when you played tanks and got aditional credits, you could get 1 legendary skin per week. Now if you don't want to pay, you have to grind for 8 months for a legendary skin.

    All they had to do was to keep OW1 up and let me choose which game to play.

    A big disappointment both for me and for the whole community. It is obvious that modern Blizzard wants to get rid of the "unnecessary" players who paid for the game and received all the content in it just by playing.
    Positive:
    + The graphics in the game have improved slightly. + Rebalancing of some characters only benefited the game, but they literally killed some of them. Minuses: -    A big disappointment both for me and for the whole community.

    Positive:
    + The graphics in the game have improved slightly.
    + Rebalancing of some characters only benefited the game, but they literally killed some of them.
    Minuses:
    - A huge number of microtransactions. You simply can't pump the purchased BattlePass without additional expenses. BP can be farmed, but it will take 221 days, which again devalues the work of the players.
    - During the 3-year break, they released exactly as much content as they could release without a break.
    - The number 2 in the title is a joke designed to find hamsters with money who love to donate to new games and be the most fashionable in them. But there is one problem - you have to play the game, which means that Blizzard will get its profit at the start, but then it will be sharply disappointed in the massive outflow of players, as it was with everyone who abused the audience's trust.

    I want to say that no matter how you feel about the game, if it gives you pleasure - play and enjoy, but if something does not suit you, then feel free to speak about it on Twitter or on other platforms convenient to you.

    New map EXTREMELY bad IMO. I can't give a definitive reason why, but they feel really bad. It's like you're playing in the trash.
    The new monetization strategy is too aggressive. Guys, you are Blizzard, not some little indie company that releases free-to-play games and tries to suck money out of the players with all its might.
    Technical Aspects: The graphics don't look better. Your lighting games look 2/5 and it's hard to say that they improve anything. If we look at it from an angle that you have made such a graphics improvement in 6 years of OW1, then you have done it very badly. The game interface doesn't look better either. Competitive rank badges are just ridiculous and shameful.
    And we can talk much about the stability of game servers in the first days of launch. Blizzard has always had problems with large number of players, but apparently they decided not to fix anything before the release of ow2.    … Expand

    Blizzard made a cool game (update) and the toxic community of the game is not used to new products.

    I also commend Blizzard for at least attempting to fight off cheaters, smurfs and disruptive folks. Let's be honest, of that that there was plenty in OW1. Thank you.

    Cut Blizzard some slack and just enjoy the game for what it is. If you're facing issues, give them a few days to iron out the kinks that any game launch with this big of an audience is prone to have.

    Worst release ever, at this point the entire payroll at Blizzard is full of incompetent parasites from top to bottom. The video game world would be a better place if Blizzard was forced to shut down right now. The greedy leadership on top of any employee that stayed at that toxic company and is enabling their anti consumer business models and strategies should be ashamed of themselves.

You will need to be a NEET who can play the game 24/7 to get one skin while OW1 gave out enough lootboxes to let everyone have a good chance at getting multiple cool cosmetics. They also lock new heroes at level 55 of the pass if you're f2p while premium players get them instantly because **** you. The "free" path of the battlepass is utter **** and has absolutely no cool items at all, even the below average items were all put on the premium section, so f2p players who actually have time to dedicate their entire ****ing life to grinding it won't get anything worthwhile but a new champion. The battlepass also doesn't even refund itself like passes do in just about every other game. OW1 also did let you grind out enough currency to get cool new event skins whenever they came out. That's gone now too. Many heroes have had their cool techs and mechanics removed for no reason, and now matches are super reliant on tanks even more than OW1. They spent 4 ****ing years making this and all it is is a watered down OW1 with even worse monetization, and you can't even go back to play OW1 anymore either cause they shut it down. Dog**** game and dog**** company. Don't waste your money or your time. A slap in the face to everyone who liked OW1.

    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.
