    Takes away the original game and replaces it for a cashgrab that only Diablo immoral would be proud of, skins you could get for free in lootboxes which you could also get for free by just playing are now worth $20, the battlepass is mediocre at best and it doesnt even gives you enough premium currency to buy next battlepasses like many games on the market

    Bunch of unfulfilled promises and not a sequel. You no longer can farm loot boxes which were pretty fun for me. Now you have a battle pass and it takes unreasonably long to get anything. And overall it feels like a step down in some features, it just feels more empty and stripped game so it is more like overwatch 0,6.

    Jogo é a mesma coisa do Overwatch 1, só que de graça.
    Quem comprou Overwatch 1, NÃO ganhou NADA a mais...
    A loja do jogo é horrivel, tudo caro, passe de batalha é caro, não da pra ganhar caixa jogando o jogo.
    Progressão muito ruim (battle pass).

    Gastei R$120 no Overwatch 1 para retirarem o jogo e não conseguir pegar as skins antigas.

    JOGO LIXO.

    So it's overwatch 1 but worse, blizzard only made some rebalancing on some heroes, add some map and 3 heroes and some skin and a batlle pass and a lot of bugs but they especially dared to take away a lot of features that overwatch 1 had: No more medal, no more on fire system, no more leveling system, no more way to get skins or emotes or even tag for free and so on ....

    I'm in shock in just how much of a downgrade overwatch 2 is from its predecessor, they removed everything that made overwatch unique. I could go on and on but too cut it short. The greediness of overwatch 2 is mind boggling and I'm disgusted how overwatch has performed in just this week alone!

    This game is called a sequel, but it rather is a downgrade at most.

    The role of a healer has become exponentially harder and Tank just doesn’t feel as good anymore because the synergy is missing.

    The large amount of barriers got replaced by other massive visual effects like kirikos ultimate or sojourns „e“ ability.

    Besides the gameplay changes there is literally nothing good in this game. Matches feel unrewarding, the ranked system is really broken as you literally meet literally all kinds of elo in the lowest rank tiers. Overall you can’t really understand how you have improved in your rank after each game, making ranked really boring and unrewarding as well. Since DPS make a lot more impact now, simple mistakes that wouldn’t really punished in ow1 will get you killed now. This isn’t really a big issue, but it’s still frustrating.

    In case of Ui and QoL features, there aren’t any of these in the game anymore. The UI is literally garbage and looks like there was no one that tested it for any longer than 5 minutes. Also many of the QoL and social features that made ow1 really rewarding and fun were removed, making this game feel really empty. There’s literally nothing after your game, you just queue up for another game.

    Also the monetization of the game is so bad and expensive. You gain such little amounts of credits that you have to grind for months to get a legendary skin.

    Ow1 was better in almost anything (You can clearly argue about the gameplay).    … Expand

    To call this Overwatch 2 is a joke. It's a patch, minus content we should have recieved, minus content that should be in the game allready. With crazy predatory monetization.

Nor did they fix the Paris map (how long have they promised that?) or the Lunar Horizon Colony. They    To call this Overwatch 2 is a joke.

    To begin with, several maps from Ow1 is missing. Numbani, Blizzard World, Hanamura, Havana and several others. Nor did they fix the Paris map (how long have they promised that?) or the Lunar Horizon Colony. They didn't even balance the new healer until launch, so Kiriko is not even playable in competitive.
    There is no single player gameplay as they promised us so many times either.

    What we did get though, is a **** cashgrab shop. And not just any shop, an absolute joke of a monetization system. Gone are the days when you could earn things by playing. Now you have to BUY stuff for your real money and not just legendary skins. Everything. Voice lines, poses. Everything is locked behind a paywall. Gone as well, are the days where you could look forward to the season shift and get some cool new skins for that season.

    I guess it would have been ok if there was some way to earn these items in game as well, but there isn't. Apart from a weekly challange that would take you 8 MONTHS to get one skin, there is nothing. Not but for you to take up your wallet and pay absurd amounts of money for a digital graphic item they slapped together in a few days.

    In OW1 you could get 2 legendary skins in a day if you were lucky and to that, add several voice lines, sprays and poses. Now they demand 20 dollars (no i'm not joking...lmao, 20 DOLLARS for ONE skin).

    What about the battlepass then? Well, not even the battlepass they could let be a reward for loyal players of the game.
    First off all, it takes an insane amount of games to level up to get anyting worth your while, most people don't have that kind of time. So why did they do this? Well, because of course, you shouldn't be awarded for actually playing the game, no.. you should be awarded for paying them with real money to NOT play the game so you can just pass the battlepass and get the items inside it anyway. Yes they really did this. It's not a joke.

    And even if you do decide to do the long grind with the battlepass you will have the exact same skins, voicelines and everything else as everyone else. How fun is that? Personalitzation - gone.

    The battlepass is of course deliberately made to be very slow to level up as well, so after you grinded for 2 months, but didn't have the time to reach all the way to the skin you would have wanted, you will pay anyway to feel that all of that grind towards the item you wanted isn't in vain.

    Basically they just pissing in the face of their players. They release a half arsed patch with a new **** monetization system to earn more cash and slap "OW 2" on it. Remove a lot of features people liked (you cannot even see which team you met last game now, or the ranks of players) and add a couple of maps and call it a day.
    It's not enough allready with the insane amount of money they've earned from Overwatch lootboxes (an insane amount) and game sales, no no... they have to sqeeze out more money from every player. Especially if you are young and don't understand the system.

    That's the new "Blizzard" for you, where every good dev that was the real Blizzard has left the company a long time ago and left is a shell with predatory monetization and greed.

    So to leave with some good things with OW2:

    The new remakes of Orisa and Bastion are pretty good. The new heroes are fun (but all of them are girls for some reason) but not because it's something special, just because they are new and we are starved of content since they just didn't give a **** about the OW community for several years.

    Releasing only three new heroes, when they haven't released anything in such a long time is weak.
    Same goes with the maps. It's fun with something new. But that should have allready been in the game a long time ago.

    Other than that there isn't much else. Everything is pretty much the same or worse. The graphic update is very meh. In my opinion several heroes even looked better before.

    So that's "Overwatch 2" for you. Pay up like a good boy, so Bobby can get a bigger Yacht, a third sportscar and a larger Bar-Mitzva party for his son.

    PS, don't let anybody fool you this has anything to do with covering costs. It doesn't. DS.    … Expand

Причем даже в сравнении с старым батлфронтом 2 эта помойка в донате и его преуспела. Если там на открытие крутого героя требовалось 40 часов игры, то тут на открытие одного лишь легендарного скина теперь нужно ежедневно задротить почти год подряд. Настолько наплевательского отношения к игрокам я не видел ещё нигде, даже в мобильных играх. К тому же разработчики обещали перенести весь прогресс из первой части во вторую, а мне не перенесли абсолютно ничего. Зато открыли всех героев из оригинальной игры, которые можно было бы получить за 32 часа игры. Разрабы, вы бы хотя бы нам батл пасс бесплатно отдали, но нет же - они считают что мы должны на него сами заплатить с учётом того что вы уже и так у меня отняли игру которую я купил за 1800 рублей. 1800 рублей это открытие всех персонажей в игре, что то дороговато, не находите? Это ещё с учётом того что их можно спокойно открыть бесплатно. Никакой компенсации нет и не будет а овервоч 1 я так понял они оставлять на плаву не планируют.

However, it was so far away from my imagination. The game uses a battle pass system which is much worse, and can not say anything about it because they have done COD Warzone battle pass, and have knowledge in battle passes, which is why I was very disappointed in Overwatch 2's battle pass. The new characters they introduced were very lackluster, and the changes they made to their original cast of playable characters was very frustrating. One of the biggest controversial changes is the change of Cassidy's flash grenade into a regular grenade. The changes they implemented kept the strong characters relatively strong, such as the frustrating Genji and Hanzo, along with Reinhardt's massive and very durable shield.… Expand

    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.
