    Worst blizzard game i have ever played in my life. Just another freetoplay garbage. There is a chance that you will not be able to play because servers are bad. Not recomended

    Absolutely horrible monetization and technical part of game. I'm always dreamed about farm 450 years on all skins in game, or PAY 12,000 DOLLARS. BLIZZARD, WTF

Everything we got now is two ugly skins and just Kiriko from the battle pass.… Expand

    20$ for a skin. Unbalanced. Every Arcade mode is ruined, because everybody picks tank. Only 1 Tank is **** OW1 was much better. Seems like Blizzard needs money. R.I.P. Overwatch

    Blizz/Activision threw a lot of money at paying for positive reviews, because the critic score is 5-6 times the user score. This game is... unpleasant to play.

    And all of this is ignoring that this isn't a sequel in the way other game sequels work. It's nothing new. They could increment the number every week and it would be just as valid.

    In the end it smacks of absolute laziness, the mark of any bad game developer. They just didn't try.    … Expand

    It takes about 5 Years to unlock all the skins for any single character without paying for micro transactions...

    Blizzard used to be a good company. Those days are long gone. They're just a cash grab charity for Bobby Kotick and his welfare fund.

    They screwed up the ranked system. I was hoping for a rank reset so I could play with my friends. Instead they put everyone at bronze 5, so you can play 7 games with your friends, but once you have won 7 more then everyone is all over the place and now my friends who have played the game too much have to play solo because they are gold and everyone else is bronze 5.

    Overwatch 2 во всём хуже оригинала, кроме графики.
    Танки стали заметно слабее, при том на команду теперь всего 1 танк и 5 игроков. Темп игры снизился, и пропали ситуации где нужно было штурмовать обороняющихся.

    По Всей видимости, Blizzard решили пожертвовать оригинальностью Overwatch и сделали плохой референс под Valorant, при том персонажей под новый стиль игры не адаптировали. Из за чего геймплей стал непонятным, не удобным, и некоторые персонажи потеряли конкурентоспособность.
    Играть просто не приятно. Это уже не Overwatch, а жалкая пародия на Valorant и CoD.
    Новая монетизация слишком агрессивна, пропала возможность открывать косметику просто играя, как это было в оригинальной игре. Иначе как назвать игру донатной помойкой, язык не поворачивается.
    Я очень хочу поиграть в Overwatch, но сервера закрыты, и игра похоронена. А Overwatch 2 не дарит тех же эмоций от геймплея как оригинал.

    Terrible game filled with microtransactions it feels like a soulless cash grab. Its basically an update disguised as a new game and that's why they shut down the first game. You cant even play this game if you are poor because you need a phone and a phone plan. Prepaid plans and even services like mint and cricket aren't accepted so you cant play.

    They took a good game and made it worse. the new monetisation is worse than what we had before, grinding for 8 months for a skin is absurd, most hero reworks are less fun to play than before, and now the game crashes constantly and takes the best part of an hour to get past the stupid queue. I want to play the game I *paid for* again. bring back overwatch 1.

    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.
