    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...

    On the positive side, Blizzard has come up with the first ever "Loading Simulator".

    I don't see any improvements over original game. All the changes were done for the sake of making some changes to call it a "new" game so they can go crazy with monetisation.

    Well, it's very sad to see what a game I've played since I was a kid has turned into.
    For me it was something very close to my heart, different from other games like Counter Strike Global Offensive, Battlefield etc.

    For me it was something very close to my heart, different from other games like Counter Strike Global Offensive, Battlefield etc.
    At one time, I bought the "legendary" version of the game not even for skins, but in order to support the developers, and the fact that the game was paid eliminated a lot of toxic people.
    Of course, no existing game has ever done without them, but in overwatch the community was atmospheric and kind in its own way.
    I'll start with the cons.
    1. The game is now free - like I said, this adds accessibility to a lot of idiots that I wouldn't want to see and listen to in my favorite game.
    2. The second point follows from this - because of the free to play, the developers decided to add a battlepass, and I would close my eyes to this if it were free, like the containers in the first ov, but all the interesting things were stuffed into a paid battlepass, which I I can't even buy (I'm a ru player).
    The literal monetization of all cosmetics in ov2 is a direct path to the bottom.
    Even the skins that were released in ov1 became paid, and the coins that remained with ov1 became useless, and they can’t even be exchanged for a new currency.
    Of course, this was not the main thing in the game, but it added interest to play, knock out containers and increase the level with which my experience with the skill increased.
    3. New icons and interface. I feel like all the good designers have been screwed over and hired kids because they look frankly ugly.
    - Huge squares in the character menu, instead of medium and nice looking rounded rectangles lying at an angle, it doesn't look stylish or pretty.
    - Almost the same story with the interface of the character's health pool, it has become more square and straight in contrast to the slightly rounded squares - also ugly.
    - Same story with character abilities - normal squares instead of rounded rhombuses
    - The style of the ultimate has become not beautiful, although there are almost no changes, but it still does not look beautiful.
    - The character selection menu has the same story - squares instead of diamonds - and it pisses me off that it's like that everywhere, it absolutely did not need a redesign.
    - New 3D models in the lower left corner of the screen look bad.
    4. Also, the developers decided to remove the level icons that were in ov1 - but why? In order for the players not to have a biased attitude towards the allies, the developers answered. For me, this is fierce nonsense, since only those units of toxins in ov1 were biased towards the player, judging by his level (and by the way, sometimes it even played the opposite way - people could shame high-level players by calling them nerds).
    I don’t deny that by the level I could judge who I should heal more and help, but this was a plus, because in this way a team game was formed, which was always emphasized in ov1.
    Also, the levels were an aesthetic pleasure, because it was just nice to see a beautiful frame and characters in it (although I did not even have time to take a silver frame).
    5. Instead of your profile icons, players now see only character art - this is also an omission, because it was an aesthetic component of ov1, and it was possible for the whole team to display the same icon for fun.
    6. The statistics of enemies and allies became visible - kills, deaths, damage done, etc. Doesn't that cause prejudice, blizzard? After all, the impact of the player does not determine this at all, just like in ov1, even Jeff Kaplan joked about this topic in the New Year's issue.
    7. And due to the fact that prominent statistics appeared during the match, which is visible to everyone - the character cards disappeared at the end of the match ... This is a VERY big omission, because it was nice to put your "praise" to the ally and in some cases to the enemy, and then hear cool phrases from them (it was especially nice when you were the person who was praised). But no, they decided to remove it by adding ugly
    statistics like in cs go.
    8. By the way, the interface itself when you press the TAB key during a match is also disgusting, licked from other shooters like cs go - a complete lack of style...
    Let's move on to more serious issues.
    9. Battlepass cosmetics are survivable, albeit with difficulty - but characters in battlepass? Seriously, Blizzard? As a player from ov1, they are certainly available to me, but what will happen next? They only open at level 55, and these are the weeks of grinding, and keep in mind that not everyone can afford to play a lot.

    Unfortunately, I can’t write more than 5 thousand letters .. thats sa, I have something to say, and even praise ov2 a little, but the metacritic did not think that there are users like me, for whom the game is really important, and what they think about it in to the fullest.    … Expand

    Many fan favorite maps were removed as well as a game mode. The battle pass is slow and costs money while also keeping new characters locked until you reach a high enough tier.

    Getting enough in game currency for a single legendary skin without paying money takes at least eight months. Buying legendary skins isn’t a good option either seeing as each legendary skin costs $20.

    They removed many positive community features (such as voting best player at the end of a match and endorsing opponents).

    I also have had multiple bugs that interfered with game play. For example, one game I had a bug where a choke point was filled with a black mass of triangles jutting out in all directions. I could walk through it but couldn’t see anything.

    All of this is only an issue if you can even get into the game though. It took me anywhere between 1-3 hours just to get in the few times I played.

    I loved overwatch but overwatch 2 is unplayable for me. I’m immensely upset with blizzard for ruining such a beloved game while also essentially deleting the original.    … Expand

    Did you like playing DPS before? Well, now you can have the same experience immediately upon booting up the game!

    I don't buy the DDoS excuse for a moment. I'm not going to say it's not a possibility, but I think it's an improbability. First off, they have the exact same problem with every game release & WoW expansion I've played and yet... this is the first time it's coupled with a fairly negative user experience they can shift the conversation away from. DDoS would not break things like your inability to team up in-game when you do actually beat the queue.

    They simply either didn't expect the flood of interest in the game, or they do not want to ramp up server space enough to meet it: the game is essentially launching in maintenance mode, like the original Overwatch did. Excuse me, coming into Early Access in maintenance mode. They stopped an actual game that players paid for in favor of an Early Access F2P game. I should clarify that the queue time to log into the game / supposed DDoS is a curiosity and doesn't influence my score in the slighest: The game is just that bad.

    Meat and potatoes: The gameplay. It's Overwatch but worse. The removal of a player might lend itself to shorter queue times as nobody wanted to play Tank, but they didn't address WHY nobody wanted to play Tank, and in fact, leaned into exactly why nobody wanted to play Tank. They have been looking at game balance from the perspective of the DPS players, the most popular role by far: After all, if every match is waiting on the Tank spots to fill up and you're needing to wait 15 minutes to play as a DPS, there's a -lot- of those players in the game. Again, instead of making a better experience for the Tank players, they've attempted to make Tank gameplay appeal to DPS: Turning it into a DPS and not a Tank. Similarly with Healers, the latest Healers can deal respectable damage, and are often played that way first and foremost. Kiriko, the newest Support is no exception, capable of dealing ABSURD damage but with sub-par Healing potential. My point is- this is turning Overwatch more into a game like Valorant, which is already better at being Valorant than Overwatch could ever hope to be. And, you know, it already exists. People will tell you that Tanks and Healers have no point until they aren't getting protected or healed and then "Where's the shield?" or "Where's the heals?" - there's a reason these DPS players still stick around. Because Overwatch, with role diversity, is actually a pretty cool formula. People just get a bit tired of being bullied to no end on any role besides DPS, when you basically can't do anything but rely on your team for help. No surprise everyone wants their chance to just frag out and treat the objective-based team game as a DM. Even though DM exists as a mode... Again, this DPS-ification has lead to faster player-down times and each team has less "meat" on it than it did before, as they're incapable of buffing each individual tank to the level required to make up for a lack of two tanks. Zarya being a great example of how poorly they've balanced the game: You now have two charges of bubbles, shared for each bubble. You can bubble yourself TWICE! - until you've used both charges, then between them, one charge comes back as fast as an individual bubble did before. So, in the grand scheme of things, Zarya has half the bubble potential in an extended fight. And you're the only Tank. At least you do more damage..

    The battle pass: It's really bad. I'm not even aggressively against monetization but... two battle pass levels now was one level before: Which gave you a loot box. Also, you got loot boxes for all manner of things. A loot box had 4 things, rolled by rarity, guaranteed to not be a dupe until you'd gotten all things of that rarity. Instead of one loot box with 4 rolls, you -might- get 2 things depending on the specific levels. If you did not buy the battle pass, you get essentially nothing, as the "free" rewards are spread very, very thin. In the grand scheme of things, there is a LOT less content added to the game, and that content you must now purchase with no real capability of "playing to earn" - the avenues of free currency and rewards are extremely limited. It doesn't seem like it's impossible to get the hero but there's less content.

    Objective-based challenges are also very bad for the health of the game. Getting the Competitive ones is going to be a huge grind, so you're absolutely going to have games where somebody picks a character they don't really want to be on just so they can rack up that one specific stat they need for the battle pass. I'm all for letting people play what they want - don't want to be the meta character (Junker Queen) because she can't rack up Mitigation? Okay. Well, if you DO want to be her, and you aren't, so that you can mitigate damage as a hero you don't otherwise want to be? That's a problem    … Expand

    Oh, this game is a free-to-play game? Already that makes it a scam as nothing is actually free. It has an awful battle pass, and in general the least normal game ever. Can these types of games please die out? Who are the dumb people still buying and playing blizzard products nowadays? Don't let mega-corporations psychologically manipulate and abuse you.

    Overwatch cursed gaming and I will never forgive blizzard for it. Heck, Blizzard in general cursed gaming with their drug, I mean MMO called WoW. It's the whole reason why we game as a service. What happened to games with stories? Games that told something? Games with fun gameplay? Music? Please avoid this game like the plauge.    … Expand

    Where to begin?

    Overwatch 2, the sequel to Overwatch 1. They removed a tank slot from the teams (good bye queue times for tank), made a bunch of silly changes in the background to anonymize more players while weaponizing the report system for any SJW's. On top of that transcription of all voice recordings. Gee, wonder why over 15 games only 1 person has spoken in chat. Crazy. How about    Where to begin?

Nope, instead of adding that we took away ranks, so you don't even know what you're playing in ranked. Kinda defeats the purpose. Selling the original games cosmetics for tens of thousands of dollars. Jittery frame rates even on low settings, on a $5000 rig. And of course, the "DDOS" attack (not real, they just weren't prepared for what I assume is a very embellished amount of players. None of the core issues of the first game seem to get addressed. Balance is nowhere to be found. Most of the maps are the old maps. New events will be the same events they've recycled since OW1. Oh yeah, do you have a phone with an approved provider? It's the only way we even let you play, even if we stole your copy of OW1 and forced you to download 2 instead. Once you get the phone figured out you pesky poor person be sure to play for dozens of hours to unlock base heroes. If you'd like you can buy our battlepass for fake digital crap. This allows us to milk consumers for more money because we had to circumvent loot box laws (good job going after those in courts, gamers. That sure solved the problem).

    The only thing worse than a bad game is a bad game everyone plays.

    Don't play this POS. It does nothing new enough to even warrant being called a sequel while simultaneously making several things much, much worse.

    Basically took all the core components of OW1 and jettisoned them in favor of a twitchy shooter with more in common with Halo than the original OW. Deeply disappointing. If it was its own thing that wouldn't be so bad, but they sunset OW in favor of this so you've got no other option. Had hundreds of hours into the original. Played the sequel for a day and proceeded to uninstall.

    There is absolutely no upgrade from the original OW. Everything looks and feels the same.    Disgusting F2P tactics deviating from the original OW formula in order to appeal to the 12yo Fortnite fanbase that can only afford "free" games while begging their parents for their credit card in order to buy ridiculously expensive skins and dances when hooked after licking the free ice-cream.

    There is absolutely no upgrade from the original OW. Everything looks and feels the same. They just slapped "2" next to the name as a marketing strategy because they decided to make the game F2P after the player-base died. I paid 60$ for OW1 and they removed it, so for owners of OW1 this is absolutely not a free game. We paid for it, and now we are forced to pay again through their awful and predatory battle-pass system if we want to get something as simple as an Emote.

    Everything is now locked behind ridiculous grinding and absurd weekly "challenges" that ask you to invest hours upon hours to complete them because they are based on luck (e.g., get 20 team kills). You need to pay 20 euro for a skin-recolor, or farm for 8 MONTHS to get it for "free." The supposed "free" rewards from the Battle-pass are joke-sprays and useless voice-lines. All the real things are locked behind the premium pay-wall that, upon completion, doesn't even give you your money/currency back (to invest it in the next Battle-pass). Essentially you need a bi-monthly subscription to play the game, as there is nothing to strive for in the "free" part of the Battle-pass.

    The new "free" players that joined are entirely oblivious to FPSs and make games very frustrating. They cannot DPS, they cannot flank, they cannot heal. They pick Moira and play her like its Call of Duty. The awful matchmaking system pairs these new users with existing veterans, making each match a steamroll. You either get destroyed and can't even leave the spawn room, or you entirely destroy the enemy team. There is no in-between. This makes games frustrating as you can lose 10 games in a row just like that.

    Overall, a disgusting re-release by Blizzard/Activision/ Microsoft (or whatever company they sold themselves to nowadays). They turned a paid-game into a Freemium cow ready to be milked before it dies under the pretense that this is some sort of "update" or a big "overhaul."    … Expand

    Микротранзакций: то, что раньше было забавной игрой и серией, теперь отбросило все, что делало игру веселой. Одной из фишек Overwatch были лутбоксы. Да, у лутбоксов были проблемы. Но всё это было бесплатно и рано или поздно желанный скин можна было либо выбить, либо купить. Я лично в Overwatch 1 не задонатив ни копейки к 500 уровню повыбивал большую часть скинов. На Ангела я всё полностью купил.
    Сейчас 3-летний скин стоит около 20 долларов.
    За владение Overwatch 1 вам дается 2 скина которые я никогда не буду использовать. И вы можете мгновенно использовать нового героя "Кирико". Я думаю, что я должен хотя бы получить боевой пропуск бесплатно. Однако вы можете получить премиальную валюту бесплатно, но только 500, что составляет около 5 долларов. Этого недостаточно, чтобы купить боевой пропуск, и это только побуждает вас покупать больше кредитов. Это ужасная механика по краже денег у людей.
    Пожалуйста, перестаньте их защищать. Я видел, как многие люди защищали их в Интернете, говоря, что Overwatch нужно зарабатывать деньги, чтобы выжить.
    Они месяцами ранее выпустили Diablo Emmortal и за первые 3 дня заработали более 100 миллионов долларов.
    Бесплатная игра: с одной стороны это круто как для человека который решит своего друга позвать в игру а он никогда в неё не играл, катки ищутся быстро. Для разработчиков тоже плюс ибо будет онлайн, а дальше вливание и денег в игру.
    Минус тут только один: новая аудитория. Привет читеры, привет ещё больше смурфов, привет неадекватные школьники и привет неадекватное быдло.
    Теперь всё это увеличится в разы.
    Так вот: платная игра - была порогом входа в эту игру. Сейчас же порогом входа остаётся только системные требования игры, хотя и они не помеха сегодня.
    Нету бесплатной игры с адекватной аудиторией.
    Давайте вспомним такие игры как "Warfare", "Valorant", "Dota 2" и "Genshin Impact". В этих играх самое конченное комньюнити. И только попробуйте не согласиться.
    Плюсы игры: геймплей (процесс катки и игра за любого персонажа), графика, звуковое сопровождение и карты.
    Они решили проблему с очередями по ролям, катки находятся очень быстро, разминку не успевал включать.
    На этом всё.
    Игра получает 3/10, либо 2/5.
    Буду ли я продолжать играть? Сука да. Геймплей, графика, звуковое сопровождение с картами забрали моё сердечко и я получил колоссальное удовольствие также как и первый раз в Overwatch 1 играл.

Overwatch does NOT need to have live service BS implemented into it and definitely does NOT need to be pay to win. Overwatch is the kind of game where you switch heroes to counter the enemy team which is exactly WHY heroes should NOT be LOCKED behind a PAY-WALL for this particular game! If you haven't bought the battle pass to get a certain character that is powerful/broken, guess what, YOU LOSE! FUN!!! BATTLE PASS DIFFERENTIAL!!! This really used to be something special back in 2016-2017 and they just pissed all over its iconic glory. This just goes to show that companies can VERY EASILY kill off a franchise by being greedy corporate scumbags. No wonder Jeff from the Overwatch Team left.

    No servers and you cannot connect. and sometimes you wont even get to the title screen to enter the queue, the game just goes black.
    And if you ever bought overwatch 1 and merged your account you won't be able to play at all.

    So they have implemented a phone verification to play the game, however if you are in another country and don’t have access to your phone number that is relevant to the country where you have originally registered the profile, you are not able to verify your number as it does not allow to change the county code of your number.

    The interface has removed OW1 players prestige icons, removed the ability to continue working toward them, so if you were an OW1 player with a gold or diamond portrait icon, we'll never know.

    The gameplay doesn't feel anything like OW1, and instead feels more like Apex or Valorant, which is fine, but not what drew many players to this team centric FPS.

То есть, ты должен каждый раз покупать БП за свои кровно заработанные, отсутствие озвучки некоторых реплик ( ну не так существенно, если забыть, что анонс игры был ТРИ!!!!! года назад, а изменений за три года, ну как бы помягче это сказать, маловато).
    Всем ДПС персонажам добавили пассивку на увеличенную скорость передвижения, теперь всю сенсу перелопачивать заново ну или ждать пока действительно умные люди сделают формулу для расчета (видимо для Близзард это слишком сложно), аим панч от некоторых способностей, вот серьезно, зачем он в соревновательной игре?

    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.
