    Game is unplayable. First few days it was login queues and server disconnects, next few days it was bugged heros and unlocks. Now you can't even start games even if you do manage to login.

    Honestly I loved Overwatch 1, I played daily with friends for years, I have the gaming light, I must have about 10+ Funko pops, I had almost every skin, I even worked in an open kitchen and would speak to random customers about gaming and Overwatch, add them on battletag, game with them and make new friends.

    On week 1 to maybe about a month in on Overwatch 2 me and about 5+ friends quit for good (I've came back once or twice but literally leave after a game or 2)

    I went from looking forward to playing the game almost daily with friends for YEARS, to literally having 0 desire to login. Skipped the Halloween event and Christmas event which normally I'd really look forward to 'New skins' etc.

    I always wanted OW1 classic to come back but now with the news after FOUR + years of announcing PVE you cancel it, I don't want anything to do with this game or company again,

    Honestly a MASSIVE **** YOU to Blizzard, completely destroyed something that was great and removed it for everyone despite us all paying money for it........... Absolute criminal

    5v5 is not fun, overwatch has become a generic fps and not a strategical hero game with tanks, support and dps. It feels really, really dull/boring. Such a shame as I loved ow1 and no longer have access to it. Oh well, didn't expect anything less from blizzard tbh. Awful company and awful game. 0/0

    I rather go back to Overwatch 1 if i could.

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

    "The world could always use more heroes"

    Yeah if you have a fat sack of money every 3 months otherwise screw you here is your second job.

    Also the main selling point of the game is canceled so i don't see a reason to even bother to play anymore.

    It's bad enough they make you jump through hoops that nobody else does, but I cant play with my phone number being pre paid. What happened to just starting a game and playing it? All my info is already linked to my console account. Just use that?

We lost archives for this, which was one of the best events in the game. There is no denying how much Blizzard does not care about their player base now. 6 years and this is the worst state the game has ever been in. How the mighty has fallen. I would give it a -10 now if i could.

    Original: I was one of the few that could play at launch and honestly as a long time gamer of overwatch/apex legends/fortnight blizzard completely dropped the ball on this. There is no real reward for playing anymore, the battle pass is worse then halos attempt, the ui leaves much to be desired, and while I understand the loot box argument, I think getting rid of it completely was one of the stupidest things they did. While moving to 5v5 was the right thing to do since I hated the double shield meta, the decrease in kill time has turned it in to a dps rush, good one v ones has turned in to whoever gets the first hit usually wins and as a healer you will feel useless trying to keep anything up that’s targeted by 2 people or more. Also, due to kill time now sombra/tracers are unaposed going after healers/backend, you will just auto die and most healers do not have the dps to defend themselves anymore. Due to all the changes games have become very lopsided, You either run over the opposing team or get run over. Team kills, which used to be rare in OW1, are now common and demoralizing. As for new maps, they are ambitious and too big for this pace of gameplay, you will not see 1/2 of them since your all but required to stay as a pack now to win any fights. Finally the monetization is as bad as EA Star Wars battlefield 2. It’s like blizzard got a list of everything that pissed off gamers over the past 5 years and put it in this game. Officially petitioning for OW1 back, double shield meta and all. They had so much to look at when making this game and ignored it all.    … Expand

    Very bad start with long queues and bugs. Minimum of changes that could be added to the first part. Terrible monetization.

    Blizzard so greed. They can't do great games. OW2 is bad optimized. Queues, battle pass, greed donate. OW1 was better, but the is no OW1 anymore. OW1 which I bought and can't play now.

I should've seen the writing on the wall with Reforged but still maintained hope. Lesson learned, never hope, play retro instead. Every critic that gave this game above a 50, oh wait, that's literally all of them, should never be allowed to review so much as a candy bar again. A slug could do your job better. You would be ashamed of yourselves if you had the neurons required to experience human emotion. Also the fact that Metacritic still has the trailer up that was a complete LIE used to sucker people into buying the battle pass in anticipation for the PVE, is disgraceful.… Expand

    Some of my issue's with the game are: removed game mode, maps, find a group feature, the grind and cost required to unlock cosmetics (I personally, would rather they earn my money by releasing a new game every few years instead of a battle pass system), bugs of the original game are still present (which makes me think OW2 literally was just a big update). No option to play the original, Broken hero's, Broken game modes (in Total Mayhem, Zarya literally has unlimited bubbles so cannot die, meaning the only time the game ends is when Zarya gets bored with spamming shift)

    It's sad because Overwatch, the lore, the hero's, the animated shorts are all amazing. I have played Overwatch as my go-to game for years with friends, and now we are looking for a replacement, it's kind of heartbreaking, it feels like we have lost something, instead of gaining more of what we loved.

    This isn't me review bombing, It's honetly how I feel. No new content for years... for this. Shame on you Blizzard.    … Expand

    I was playing Overwatch from start, and I was not best game, but really good game. Now it change name to Overwatch two, and it is one of worst game in gaming history. It shoud never be released. It have more bugs than Cyberpunk, it have more microtransactions than Candy Crush. It is just garbage.

    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.
