    This game deserves all of its backlash. When you underdeliver on the entire reason why the product exists in the first place, youre going to lose your fanbase.

    The promised Overwatch 2 was specifically the PvE content. Now that story is dead in favor of a monetized system of seasonal battle passes. They figured well they can't make consistent money on a box priced game. They prefer to stick to a battle pass system and scrap PvE all together. We need JEFF BACK!!! SAVE US!!!

    I am so disappointed in this game, from the monetization to the lack of any meaningful content except new heroes and a couple of new maps. The same events over and over again every holiday without any major updates. And now the gutting of the PVE mode is so disappointing.

    The game itself is ok-good. But the policy behind it is terrible.
    OW2 was supposed to be a PvE with PvP game. Then it was PvP with PvE soon. Now they canceled the reason why they made a part two in first place, the PvE mode and the reason why i bought it in the first place.
    I payed for the PvE mode and payed for the PvP mode twice instead.

    Cancelling a core promised deliverable? Don't announce something you can't deliver please. Remove the 2 from 'Overwatch 2'. I lost most of my interest in playing OW2 when the heroes got locked behind a paywall, this is the nail in the coffin.

    Когда-то это была моя любимая игра. Классный графон, крутой геймплей и лор. Первый год было все замечательно, но со вторым годом нас начали кормить лусиоболом и повторяющимися ивентами, с каждым годом урезая количество скинов, а дальше и ивентов.

Первые месяца Overwatch 2 были усеяны багами, и вырезанием персонажей и моих любимых карт. Это я стерпела тоже. Как и стерпела первый батл пасс, в котором нужно было прям таки работать в игре чтобы получить Гендзи. Это я тоже скушала. Но теперь они просто нагло вырезали буквально главную фичу 2 части - полноценный PVE контент с геройскими миссиями и прокачкой. Теперь будут точно такие же лорные миссии по типу архивов из первой части. Но тут вопрос, а где вы были все это время? В чем была проблема еще тогда делать новые ивенты и лорные миссии? Overwatch 1 можно было бесплатным сделать еще тогда. Скорее всего я запускать эту игру от этой компании больше не буду, если только из ностальгии по первой части. Это просто позор компании, они обгадились буквально везде и в новом сезоне еще снова пихают лусиобол на очередном летнем ивенте.… Expand

    A blatant lie in the game's advertising campaign. Thanks for the "great" PVE.
    I was very optimistic, expecting that "the co-op mode is about to come out and the game will get a second wind." At the end, I just want to say R.I.P. Overwatch "2", you were killed for BP and $20 skins. I am uninstalling the game and I advise everyone to do the same.

    This game is just pay to win now. Either you pay $10 or you have to play round about 50 hrs just to get a new hero. If a hero has a game breaking bug it takes them weeks to fix it, which also means that the hero isn't available for said time.

    And now they also canceled the promised PVE mode, so it's just a cash grab game now.

Then the game stopped developing in any way and the only thing that was added was a couple of new skins that you could buy with saved coins or get with the help of the loot boxes. Suspended development of the game defended that they are diligently working on a new part where everything will change, new maps, heroes, "PVE" mode and many other things will be added. Since the launch of Overwatch version 2.0, everything has started to fall apart. By canceling the older version of overwatch into several thousand queues for four days. When you were among the lucky ones who managed to log in to Overwatch in the first few days, you found out that there is no "No PVE mode" in the game that they promised us and for which reason Overwatch 2 was made and loot boxes with profile leveling disappeared (the only way to get cosmetics in the game for free with no payment). They added absolutely pathetic battlepasses and of course a shop where you can buy a badge you won't even see in the game for $10 (more expensive than if you bought it in real life). For each season, I make trailers for what will be in the new season and what skins will be there, except that you have to buy 70% of the content in the store, 20% is the battlepass and the remaining 10% is for mortals, which is one map and one skin per play for months so you don't cry because you have nothing. "Oh, and not to forget to get the newly added heroes you have to either buy a battlepass to get them immediately or Grinding to level 45". And you don't know yet that earning a level is quite tedious and you can spend more than 50 hours of time to complete the weekly quests (yes, they are outrageously boring and keep repeating themselves). For weekly quests, you will receive 60 coins each week after completion. For comparison, battlepas cost 1000 coin and legendary skins cost 1000 and above.Well, what do we have in the finale and why am I writing this at all? You had 5 years to do what you promised us, and on May 17 I learned that you are canceling the PVE that you promised us for 5 years? What on earth have you been doing all this time? I have the feeling that one and a half people are working on Overwatch. Why are you telling us now? What's the point of half a year from ubdait overwatch to number 2? For peace of mind, you released the road map again, but in that map I only saw what I was supposed to gain from 2019 until now. I will not discuss other aspects of why this game is bad, such as player toxicity or poorly made balance or still unfixed bugs since launch. You have not only broken the bottom, you are already running around and making everything worse and worse. I hope that whoever is responsible for this disaster bears the punishment he deserves. Blizard is no longer a company of hope, quality and fun for me. For me, Blizard has become an incompetent, lying, outrageously stingy company that I haven't experienced in my lifetime.

    The greed and just overwhelming lack of New content is mindblowing.

    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.
