    Overwatch 2 is now officially nothing more than a cashshop update.
    They really deserve an award. Ruining a game with this much potential requires an extraordinary amount of incompetence and greed.
    I will boycott Activision-Blizzard until they get their **** together and I hope you will too.

    Update: and now blizzard killed OW2 by completing their bait and switch. No more PVE, no more character progression, no more missions in coop, just online pvp with a wallet cleaner/store and a more unbalanced game than in OW1. Brilliant, bravo, encore encore!

No more PVE, no more character progression, no more missions in coop, just online pvp with a wallet cleaner/store and a more unbalanced game than in OW1. Brilliant, bravo, encore encore!

    Gameplay is completely messed up. There is no more balance. The tanks are supposed to act as DPS and are designed as such. DPS are, well, tanks without the armor and healers are just cannon fodder except for moira which is just an outlier in this mess of a game. It is not uncommon for a moira player to have most higher kills/assist, heal and DPS in comp.

    There was obviously no quality control before release: that's why bastion have been killed from the game, torb eliminated from comp, and zarya in total mayhem makes no sense whatsoever.

    The 2 CP maps have been axed, why? The new maps are not enough to justify this removal. The new push the barrier mode is frankly a joke.

    The battlepass is obviously not worth it given that unusual skins are sold for a mere 1900 overwatch coins (close to $20).

    Now the server issue have been resolved but the game cannot match players properly as the grind to rise the comp ranks is pretty messed up.

    Given this is a free to play and they won't be able to balance the game (unless they accept to change seriously the game mechanics and some of the maps to come back to something that is slower paced and more readable), it's pretty certain this game will completely die soon.

    After completing the battle pass and reaching the prestige title, this game is a big zero out of 100.    … Expand

    Blizzard and the Devs found a way to disappoint me even with low expectations. The game is pointless and now we don't even get PVE. I'm disappointed and a little sad to be honest and will no longer be playing.

    Blizzard lied. it was never about making PVE content, it was about changing the monetization.
    There are insiders that leaked that blizzard already knew that there wasn't going to be PVE even when they released the game, it is pretty easy to guess why they only announced it now and not when they knew.

    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.
