    Worst company in the gaming industry, do not support them! Removes the games you have bought just to force you to play their sequel. There is no other gaming company that uses as disgusting business practices as Blizzard. Avoid their games like the plague.

    Complete hot steaming crap, ruined what made Overwatch a great game. Very little graphical or game play improvement, calling it a sequel is a joke.

    Funny how the critic reviews are so positive, yet the user reviews damming in slamming the game. Does make you wonder about how we can see the critic reviews as any more than paid shilling    … Expand

    Cynical cashgrab that adds absolutely nothing while making it feel like a totally braindead instagib fest. All the charm has been sucked out of this just so they can try to ram OWL down our throats.

    A piecemeal game, cut in shreds that you can never own completely, paying to play shards of a copy of a game that was good in 2016.

    I especially love it when I buy a game, then the dev delete my game, adds a 2 next to it, makes it worse and then tries to get me to pay to play it.

    Once a revolutionary game for its co-op matches and unique heroes, is now a facade with a 2 put in there to feel like its a new game. Uninstalling.

    Just a horrible horrible game. Overwatch 1 was fun but they ruined it and took away the game I loved. Big middle finger to all who contributed to the terrible title. Shame on you.

    More like Overwatch 1.01. PVE cancelled and stuff all being added to the game since release.
    They had a winner and squandered it. Shame too, I, as many others, have fond memories of Overwatch.
    Came back after 4 years of not playing and nothing of note has been done with the game. Uninstalled and won't be coming back.

    The game is actually a lot of fun, but Blizzard is so predatory with their microtransactions (can you even call them micro anymore?) that it ruins the game.

    I don’t usually rate games so heavily on the negative side. To have such a low score would require a game to be so broken and riddled with bugs to the point of not being playable.

The issue is the malpractice and scammy/scummy attitude that Blizzard has towards its players. To void my purchase of overwatch in the name of a sequel that promised substantial PVE content, to then scrap the whole thing and leave us with the same game minus a ton of features, with the addition a ridiculously priced cosmetics store and a half assed battlepass is beyond anti consumer. I don’t know what’s going on with blizzard but to be honest I don’t care to find out. What i know for a fact is that you cannot invest in any of their games, if you want to play them for free go ahead, but my advice would be to not buy cosmetics, battlepass, etc because they can kill a game with no warning. It happened with Heroes of the Storm, it happened with Hearthstone Mercenaries, and now it’s happening to Overwatch. As consumers we deserve better.… Expand

    They still don't understand that unique heroes even if they are weaker, are more interesting to people than copy paste heroes like soldier 76, souljourn 77, torbjourn 78, hanzo 79 etc.

    Don't play this game, it's same as the original game, which was turned into garbage by developers who railroaded it into unplayable / unwatchable esport.

    - literally only reason to add number 2 to game, PvE was dropped after release
    - turned paid game to f2p screwing people who bought it
    - borderline p2w, due to new characters being behind paywall (you can get them through achivements sometimes too, thats why ive written borderline)

    + good fanmade animations ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    It’s literally just Overwatch. You can’t even play the new maps until you get to ranked. There are free updates for games that provide more content than this fully-fledged sequel does.

    Blizzard really likes to set new standards for how lazy and incompetent a tripple-a developer can be. But keep buying them battlepasses one day they'll make a great game!

    its an update, it is not a game that deserves a title "2". get you s together blizzard already. and its not that i would call it "2", maybe "0.5" or "0.3" would be closer. new mode is garbage, 5v5 does not work. i just hate it right now. no boxes but a paywall pass, no ranked but weird ranked. ah...

    New hero balance is very bad and loss of single player agency in battles. Battle pass offers nearly 0 free rewards and they all suck, so now f2p players literally get no rewards from playing the game. The paid battle pass isn't even good either.

    They're locking heroes and unless you pay and grind during the battle pass. No new maps, 3 years of development and they made 3 heroes.

    Overwatch 2 is full of cheater and veterans players. Any new players get killed over and over.
    When you start the game, you may think the other players are better than you. After 50 hours of gameplay, you are still not catching up. Why that Roadhog never misses with his hook and one shot you. How that Genji uses his ult and never misses. etc. etc.

    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.
