    Unfortunately, since I completed my graduation, I had to let some games go to dedicate to my career, but if this game was discovered for me when I was 15yo... dude, I would be playing 24/7.

    Addition: this review was made before I knew that PvE was cancelled - at least, the way it should be. Also, it's not right to give this game a high score when the merit behind is from another game. For this reason, I'm reducing it to 3.    … Expand

    a realy sad ending of an copy paste from overwatch 1, without any effort or love for the game itself

    Took away the original to force the player base to move. Reworked characters are a let down for the most part. Some positive changes in my opinion as well. Launch was poorly handled. But overall you took a beloved game and turned it into a cash grab. Blizzard this game will never get another cent from me personally.

    The rebranded Overwatch 1 as Overwatch 2 and charge insane prices while fixing non of the issues that drove players away. Cheating and verbal abuse is the norm in this game and no matter how many times you report these players nothing ever happens to them. The only time any action ever happens is if you popular streamer or youtuber catches said person on video.

To make matters worse the game will have days where it matches people so poorly it's just one team being rolled by another over and over.

    Who the living Christ thought it would be a good idea to slap a "2" in front of this game's title is far, far beyond me. Uuuggghhh... This isn't a sequel, it's just a large update. The pointless "2" is just pretty much a tactic to rope people in. Oh yeah, now you get to pay for new heroes! Oh boy, how exciting!! It was so inconvenient to get free fun updates of new heroes, skins and gamemodes, now people get to drain their bank accounts for them.

    A fully-fledged co-op mode was planned to be part of this... """""sequel"""""... which a huge reason why people were interested in the game, and then out of nowhere, the idea gets scrapped, so now gamers feel this huge, crippling gut punch of disappointment. Great, now we're left with an unlikable pay2win game. Yes, co-op missions were added, but it doesn't make up for all the game's mistakes.

    A majority of players felt that the first game was fine as is, now we're all forced to play what's essentially Overwatch 1.3. In other words, something that feels like a permanent DLC you can't turn off. There are a few positives, like one tank being playable instead of two, which speeds up games a bit (although that one's a bit controversial), and there are a few balance tweaks to some characters, but at the same time, some were given changes that ruined them and made them unfun to play.    … Expand

    Blizzard fixed none of the issues except 1 and created a whole load of new ones. The tank meta is gone due to enforcing roles. Due to this the queue times are again long and the matches still not fun.

    I fear that this is the same game with one less tank, a slight modernisation of graphics, and content that should've just come to OW1.

    The only reason this came out as a sequel is to transform the game into a free to play with ultra greedy transactions (that are NOT micro by any means, 40 dollars for a battle pass every season).

    The 5v5 with one tank made the game more active and speedy, but it also severely damaged the tactical experience of OW. So many of the maps that used to be special, that required thought, pressure and poking to fight properly in, are now just another big area with outdated graphics.

    For example the first point of Kings Row, widely considered the best or top 3 best maps of OW1 by everyone, is now barely any different than any of the other maps. I used to have so many doubts on placement and pressure as a tank, so much about resource management and risk taking as a support. Now you just walk in and start blasting at the nearest enemy. The game is plain dumber.

    The maps are totally unsuited for the 5v5, although the new maps are better, all grand total of 4 of them for the roughly 40 maps of OW1. The balancing problems which killed OW1 since 2018 are not at all solved, they are equalized in the sense that now, everyone can shoot almost immediately and don't have to rely on passing tanks to do so.

    The new problem is that while you have no double shields or a tank in front of you at every pass, you rely almost entirely on your overpowered solo tank to survive. If your tank throws, you might as well see the DEFEAT screen immediately. They are so powerful and you must rely on him so much that if your tank can't diff or at least survive the other tank, you're done. As a flex but mostly support player, this reliance makes me hesitate between being the tank every game, or just stop trying.

    Also, few things have outright improved. The graphics are "modernised", they're not comparatively better. Round things are rounder like faces, models are more graphically demanding, but that's it. There are few to no super amazing visual effects. It's not like I mind, OW1 was already a clusterfk of visuals in big fights, but it drives home the point that this "sequel" has no particular value and wasn't made for technical need. Also even for an improvement, it's definitely not a 2016-2022 jump. OW1 for 2016 looked far better than OW2 for 2022. A GTX 960 could run OW1, and I'm betting a GTX 1060 can run OW2 comfortably, so it's more of a 2-3 year progress.

    Some things are inexplicably absent or worse. The glorious "on fire" status that indicated that you were doing great? Gone. The amount of damage you did on a kill? Gone. Why? Those were great and helped players a lot! The little notches on your Ultimate icon that helped see just how much you had are gone too, now it's a plain circle that fills it. It's not a big downgrade, but again, why change and make it worse? It's like the devs were told to find things to change to justify the new game, when none of that needed fixing and some was just outright great. The removal of the medal system in favour of a shared scoreboard is great though. Finally no more pointless arguments about how good or bad you're doing for your team.

    In short, the game is more or less the same, but slightly worse or better here and there. The details in UI and graphics really do not justify at all a sequel, and in every way could've been done in OW1. The downgrade in certain QoL elements is just plain bizarre (on fire status will really be missed).

    The only real changes are the 1 tank system and the financial model. The game is much less tactical and more speed and damage oriented. It feels dumber, simpler, and less profound.

    The free to play model is as greedy and predatory as ever, perhaps worse than Diablo Immortal's. This really feels like they took Overwatch, plastered some reskins, cut off one tank, completely brainwashed it from a game whose goal was to be fun, to a game that must suck as much money as possible. It's a frankensteins game to me, and my longstanding attachment to OW has almost singlehandedly disappeared in a few nights. I wanted to play OW all the time. I can barely feel anything towards OW2.

    There is an ongoing rumour that OW2 is meant to become a PvE game with great ambitions, but that it was delayed. Considering the lies of Activision Blizz on WC3 Reforged and on Diablo Immortal, I do not expect any promises to be held. But if they are, I'll amend this review when it comes out.    … Expand

Yes there are skins in the battle pass free version BUT 80% of the levels have literally nothing in them and the stuff that you can earn is again, trash sprays and voice lines nobody cares about. Not to mention leveling the battle pass as a free user is painfully slow, so if you do not pay for an experience boost that is legitimately no reason to levelit. They outright removed overall account levels for these god forsaken battle passes so literally all you rescieve is progression towards said pass...Which there is no reason to level. Ifyou want anything for your heroes now you are required to pay for them via microtransactions, a currency you cannot earn by any means except of a whopping 60 cents a WEEK if you complete all of your weekly challenges. So, since most skins seem to cost $20, divide that by .60 you get 33.33. Round that up you need to finish your weekly challenges for 34 WEEKS for a single legendary skin. So ya those loot boxes honestly don't seem all that bad all of a sudden when you would get one per account level and free ones for playing certain match types and one for free at the start of each event. Somehow they went from a bad system to so much worse that lootboxes somehow look good. The people that had paid for overwatch 1 have pretty much had their money thrown in the trash because now the game itself is free and are now locked out of the decent version of the game and now have to play a worse version with a 2 slapped onto the title. Good job Blizzard, first you make a fool of yourself with harassment cases and poor business decisions,now you made things worse with Overwatch "2".… Expand

The new push mode doesn't feel rewarding to play in the slightest, even if you win, some characters still VASTLY out perform others, and a common complaint I have heard is people aren't able to play what they want to play, be it role or character. This game seems to almost de-incentivize fun.

    there is also terrible lag, and color changes to the ui and some map color changes turn the orange colors way too warm creating these disgusting oranges and reds, the new k/d/a scoreboard is horrible, they replaced loot boxes with a battle pass which on its own would not be bad but they added all the stuff out of the old game into a store, where all the old free content is paywalled for like 20 bucks or more. there are challenges now to let u progress through hero acquisition and battle pass credits but hero challenges are broken and seem to be slow going as you have to complete weekly challenges to get the paid currency but you have to complete 4 challanges to get 30-40 paid currency when 1600 currency adds up to 16 dollars. u have to play years before u get any closer to getting any of the currency to buy stuff, even loot boxes were a better mechanic than this. halo also implemented a battle pass system where u can go to a previous battle pass that u have bought to get items u have missed if u bought that battle pass this needs to be a new standard in battle passes this way u don't miss out on content u have spent money on just because u could't play enough.

    they came up with a new thing called overhealth which i don't understand, it's like shields/armor
    but prevents 20% ult recovery or something to that effect but they basically added it to replace things like orisa's drop shield so there wasn't shield comps anymore but it feels like they are just mitigating peel comps now, and with the new 5v5 it seems like dps can never do enough damage, and healers are harder to protect because u've got the dps trying to do enogh damage while the healers are way too split between healing and trying to do enough damage to refill there health gain abilities back, all while dps can't protect the back line.

    Role queue, the thing that was supposed to save overwatch is now dead, the queues for this game mode are dead, i've spent hours in the queue waiting for role but as soon as I switch to open queue instant matches.

    the characters are supposed to be free for anyone who had overwatch 1 but is locked atm because of a glitch or so i've been told by a friend.

    non of the character reworks are terrible but at the same time a lot of the heroes haven't been touched which is wierd if u ask me, if ur adding new content like heroes and maps they should always be tweeked at least a little. and they tweeked reins turn on his dash for the better but for something they couldn't change in the first 1 because of tech limitations, they sure have a lot of the same issues for it being a tech upgraded game. it feels like they are the same old engine or that's it's too much like the old one to feel like the changed it at all. it just feels like a 10 yr old game with some new paint on it, but the paint has been sitting there for years so it looks disgusting

And the most disgusting act of Activision Blizzard is turning off the servers of the first part, now the fans will not even be able to play the usual Overwatch, and the game they bought is simply taken away and given a clown skin in return. Activision Blizzard - you are clowns.… Expand

    Overwatch was one of the best shooters on the market and Overwatch 2 was set to continue it's legacy with some tweaks.

    The 5v5 is great. There's some fantastic new balance to the game and subtle improvements to sound and maps. There are new characters that are fun and dynamic. BUT all this is overshadowed by a terrible battlepass, a very poor launch, and frankly a LIE told by the    Overwatch was one of the best shooters on the market and Overwatch 2 was set to continue it's legacy with some tweaks.

    BUT all this is overshadowed by a terrible battlepass, a very poor launch, and frankly a LIE told by the Blizzard staff... where is the PVE? This feels like a patch gone wrong, not a new game.

    It's Free to play... sure, but I already owned OW1 and that was free to play as well. I find the entire thing confusing and underwhelming. Blizzard continues it's money grabbing nosedive.    … Expand

    Downgrade from Overwatch 1, SMS protect is broken, Balance is crap, battle pass makes me like lootboxes.

    Overwatch 2 is simply a game patch masquerading as a sequel,
    a game patch that took 3 years in development, but with barely any content.

    Overwatch 1 was my favorite game and i love that we’re finally getting some new content. But after making us wait for 3 years making it f2p is such a slap in the face.

    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.
