    So they have implemented a phone verification to play the game, however if you are in another country and don’t have access to your phone number that is relevant to the country where you have originally registered the profile, you are not able to verify your number as it does not allow to change the county code of your number.

    Blizzard made this game horrible. It doesn't even make sense anymore. EG: Orisa doesn't have her wall shield anymore. Doomfist is now a tank, and is horrible at it.

    The most greedy developers. Almost any game already has a payback combat pass, immediately you need to buy it every time for real money. What can we say about part 2, this is version 1.2. Stupidly added a couple of heroes, maps, funny... For players who had the legendary edition of the first part, they were given 2 clown skins that did not give up to anyone.

    This is not overwatch 2, this is overwatch 1.1, nothing more, absolutely all free content from the game has been removed, paid battlepass that does not pay for itself, full-fledged pay to win gameplay, a huge number of extra pop-up notifications during the game, like thanks, requests for healing, etc. .p., which now appear extremely irritably over the allies, backward fonts and an interface that seems to have been copied from the Chinese clone of the first overwatch. No adequate bonuses for the owners of the first part, constant queues, falling servers, incomprehensible lags and friezes. The stroke of enemy and allied characters has been changed so much that it is banal in many situations it is not clear who you are shooting at or who is attacking you from the word at all.

    The game was literally destroyed, everyone now plays "every man for himself", there is practically no teamwork, the game with one tank looks extremely dull and meager, many control skills, like stuns, have been removed.

    This is not just bad, it's disgusting, not only did they take away the first normal part of the game for which I paid money, they also gave out a new crooked game, the main resource for obtaining content in which is donation.

    And where is the main innovation that we were all promised and that we all were waiting for? Yes, I'm talking about the pve component now, it will only be in 2023 and that's not a fact. Strict 3 out of 10 points, it's not even funny, an indie studio could do a hundred times better.    … Expand

    Game doesn’t work two days into launch, but regardless this is basically the same game as overwatch 1 but every piece of cosmetic costs a ton of money and you can’t play the game if you have a budget pre-paid phone plan.

    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.
