    The game is worse than before and now even filled with greed. A complete insult towards the player base.

    It's unfortunate they chose to move ahead with such a predatory monetization approach for this game. The least I expected was a similar F2P model like LoL or Heroes of the Storm, where "digital" skins cost a reasonable amount and not $20 for a single skin! This is absurd...

    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.

    Easily one of the worst games of all time. There is fundamentally no rewards for playing, battlepass or otherwise. The gameplay itself is garbage where you either stomp the enemy team or they stomp you. DO NOT WASTE A PENNY.

    Увы игра скатилась, стала люто донатной, с этими бп, косметикой, каких то крутых изменений нету, что бы называть игру сиквелом
    OW2 взяло самое худшее из нынешних онлайн игр. Лично для меня овер помер...

    Downgrade from overwatch 1, this game call itself sequel but it's even worst than previous game, also if you wanted to go back to ov1 you can't because they closed servers and force you to switch to this. This game deserves all hate. And to make this game better players have to stop playing it or it won't change.

    Imagine this, you bought a game for 40 bucks and after some time you get a free game with greedy monetization, bugs, imbalanced heroes, no communication with players, scummy illegal discounts (right after skin released without even changing price), battle pass locked heroes and a clown skin for old players

    The game has lost almost all of the reward factor to play. Except competitive. Prices are exorbitant (it's Blizzard. Who's surprised?) 5v5 has made playing healer almost impractical, DPS are freer because most of your counters were tanks and now there's only one tank per game. And tanks are as broken as paladins in WoW PvP. Congratulations . 0!

    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.
