    a truly unfortunate piece of work.
    I really love Overwatch and Blizzard, but I can't defend this situation either.
    There are many disadvantages to gameplay, but personally Still find it fun but I was very disappointed by Blizzard who sincerely waited for the PVE content but saw the decision to cancel it.. I wonder how I can make such a good game like this situation... I have believed    a truly unfortunate piece of work.

    Я играл в платный овервотч, и был рад получать кейсы. Сама игра мне нравится, но разработчики решили убрать кейсы, валюту сделать платной. Я бы очень сильно хотел чтобы играть было больше интереса, больше было азарта в кейсах.Я играл в платный овервотч, и был рад получать кейсы.

    I think the game itself is great, but what the sequel brings, is the worst in video game history. They stopped updating the game for years, made you pay for skins, and made it difficult to unlock heroes unless you pay for them.

    On top that they basically scrapped most of the PvE stuff they planned, so there is literally no point in calling this a sequel for marketing purposes.

I know we complained about lack of content towards the end of OW1 but that doesn't mean come out with a regurgitated game that has broken characters that don't get nerfed for centuries when they couldve just done a mid-patch update to nerf them. Instead they wait until the game is in a terrible state and as a last ditch effort try to balance things. They have neglected their promised PVE mode, and have given like 0 information about it. Also making the PVE mode and paid DLC which is just tragic considering OW1 players were forced to switch to OW2 and didnt really get compensation for it other than oh you get to keep your things that youve earned!! Save your mental and go play something more enjoyable. Id rather play league than this game and thats saying something.… Expand

    Horrible. Es casi imposible encontrar una partida decente siempre es humillar o ser humillando, no importa que juegues competitivo, rápida o arcade. Los único que hace Blizzard es sacar un montón de skins que no aportan nada al gameplay. Después de 2 temporadas y media esperando a que cambie, estoy completamente decepcionado y arto del juego. No pierdan su tiempo y mucho menos su dinero en el.

    A game that should have never been made. It is an absolute atrocity to call this Overwatch 2. It is not even Overwatch 1.2. No pve, 80 euro skins, a dumb battlepass. It is a pure moneygrab. Also one would only play ranked if they hate themselves. Such a pity I loved overwatch 1 but this 'game' made me uninstall and never turn back. I wish overwatch 1 was still around.

    Overwatch 2 is the same damn game but worse. I cannot believe they went the free-to-play route when really it is just a trap for micro transactions. The only time it is decent fun is when you play with friends but if your like me and do not have any, it is awful and boring.

    I like the game, but i dont like what has happened to it, i mean the dissapointment hearing that the skill tree was removed and that the pve costs was horrible, but the missions are good, id say worth the 15€ well some might say, but everything else is good and the game is perfectly balanced (except illari and wifeleaver) but an ok game

    This game is a broken mess and it can't be salvaged. Every new patch released, claiming to solve problems only creates others.

Every new patch released, claiming to solve problems only creates others. Artificially boosting and tanking player's ranks, poor matchmaking, allowing for rank disparities that are not possible to queue with if within the same party, and then after all of that, servers are still inconsistent and players often lag out or are disconnected without warning. These are only the technical problems. In game, characters that are blatantly over powered are not balanced properly and when the mid season patch rolls around to change the meta again, these characters are often untouched with others receiving little needed nerfs to their kits, further limiting the pool of heroes able to be viably chosen. Games are almost never close, they are complete steamrolls due to the poor matchmaking and often players will queue up and be thrown into a game high above their elo that they have absolutely no chance of participating in, let alone winning. In a Masters and Diamond lobby, there are many times where I've seen Gold and Platinum players, where as if I were to attempt to queue with a friend of that rank, the rank disparity would be too wide to be able to queue for a ranked game. It shouldn't be possible for this to happen but it does fairly often and it has not been fixed even in the Season 4 patch. Every game feels like a gamble, and with little solo carry potential, given the team based nature of the game, it is almost impossible to climb in solo queue without immense luck. After ending Season 2 at the Diamond 2 rank, ranking up to that division the night before the new season, I logged on the next day to see my rank at Gold 3. I spent the majority of the season solo queuing, as friends accounts were not dropped as low as mine, despite similar games played and consistency in play. After climbing to Grandmaster 4 during Season 3 and ending in Masters, I questioned what the reason was for my rank being lowered in the first place. There is no answer though, there never is from Blizzard, they focus their efforts on cosmetics, that were formerly free but now are behind a paywall, as well as new maps for you to lose your mental on. The core problems with the game are never addressed. A patch will release boasting a fairly decent change, only to absolutely break another part of the game without even attempting to change that system. A hero may not be working correctly, so a small tweak is made to change it to the way it was intended, but in the meantime, Blizzard forgot to mention that now you will be playing on higher ping servers for some reason and you can barely matchmake in your region.… Expand

    This game is incredible, addictive, I play it since day one and the 5v5 formula is so much better than 6v6, suppression of lootboxes is perfect, I prefer way more a battlepass style, if I want to retribute the studio by buying items, I want to know what I pay for. And the season 6 tomorrow with PVE, new hero, new modes, new maps, OMG this will be absolutely insane, I can't wait !

    They actually made this game semi-pay to win. The new heroes are in the battle pass at level 45. That's at least one month of game play if not more. Or you pay 10 bucks and unlock the hero right away. Other multiplayer titles like League of Legends or Valorant aren't this greedy (but greedy in other ways).

    It's free-to-play and accessible to everyone, but it's already in the same state as the end of OW1. They will never publish real-time connection numbers, as they have always done, nor will they improve disparate matchmaking to hide overpopulation. Dead game. The user score shows it.

    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.
