    The game is a downgrade on almost every aspect compared to the original Overwatch, especially when it comes to the new greedy monetization and the awful mandatory grinding.

    They just can't balance this **** right.
    Every single time they try to do something they make some hero OP. Now for example Sojourn and Widow are super OP, Zarya is just dominating every game.
    Hanzo can still shoot randomly at ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and get headshot kills.

    Or monetize the game on the level of fortnite battle pass where you have more than enough money to buy a new battle pass from the previous one (not every other one like we have now) also battle pass progesion is screwed so against the player it's hilarious at best we don't play video games to have a second job, we do it to have fun and I hope execs realize that soon or they will keep losing players to fortnite (I'd be embarrassed in their place)

    Overall the gameplay experience feels worse Monetization feels like it's made to not even make us want to pay up, just straight up quit New vc is as empty as always

    I played Overwatch for over 500 hours, and I was really hyped for Overwatch 2. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. The credit system is one of the greediest I have seen in a while, they removed fun features for no reason, and the gameplay is just a deathmatch. I can understand the server issues, but I can't understand what Blizzard has been doing for three and a half years on this game.

    Something just feels off about this game. Matches were laggy, and hit feedback felt off, like my shots felt like they were not connecting but I would see their hp go down.

    First of all, publishers should never discontinue a game the day its sequel launches in an effort to get players to switch over. This alone needs to be rejected by the industry.

    Overwatch 2 was initially advertised as a PvE focused sequel, but somewhere along the development cycle Blizzard decided to instead push out their 5v5 update as the full game, and replacement for Overwatch 1.    First of all, publishers should never discontinue a game the day its sequel launches in an effort to get players to switch over. This alone needs to be rejected by the industry.

    Overwatch 2 was initially advertised as a PvE focused sequel, but somewhere along the development cycle Blizzard decided to instead push out their 5v5 update as the full game, and replacement for Overwatch 1.

    Upon launch, you are greeted with the new, “shop”, and, “battle pass”, Blizzard's monetization scheme for this title. The battle pass is a $10 recurring subscription which will include new heroes, skins, and eventually PvE. Activision Blizzard seems to really want to generate even more profit from this title.

    5v5 isn't going to be for everyone. The heroes, especially tanks, have been tweaked to deal more damage. The gameplay feels faster paced, more akin to Apex Legends or Fortnite. The sounds feel more like they're trying to hard to be realistic, unlike the more pleasantly futuristic and fun sounds of the first game.

    If you prefer the first game, Blizzard might eventually roll out 6v6 as an arcade mode, but we have no specifics on what abilities will be in that gamemode.

    Disappointingly, Blizzard discontinued the looking for group feature entirely. Global chat has been removed, too. It feels like Blizzard has lost their direction with this.

    SMS Protect has been a total disaster that gatekeeps players with prepaid phones. Blizzard has tweaked this policy to allow players who played Overwatch 1 this year to circumvent it entirely, however new players still need postpaid phone plans. It feels a lot like new players aren't going to enjoy the limitations imposed upon them, because half the hero roster is locked until they unlock them. This, in addition to SMS Protect, might make it annoying for new players to pick up the game. It feels more like a cash grab to get more money out of old players.

    Lastly, Activision Blizzard didn't seem to beef up their server resources in preparation for this launch. All players are stuck in long queues, and console players have to wait exorbitant amounts of time for, “the merge”, of their accounts with Battle.net. There are a plethora of bugs, such as one that removes the skins players had in the first game, and many old players are seeing their hero roster locked, as if they were new.

    0/10, Activision Blizzard. Bring back Overwatch 1, and reclassify Overwatch 2 as an open beta.    … Expand

    At least we need a way to gain old currency rather than just pay $20 for a legendary skin. F2P mode doesn't mean that you can make players and its fans purchase for anything.

    Overwatch 2 opens by demanding you hand over your SMS number "for your protection" - it comes across as a threat. Blizzard have had the ability to "hardware ban" players for years, so it seems disingenuous, and prevents many people from being able to play at all.

    Provide that, and you move to a cinematic, but... unlike the beautifully rendered big screen experiences we've come to love    Overwatch 2 opens by demanding you hand over your SMS number "for your protection" - it comes across as a threat. Blizzard have had the ability to "hardware ban" players for years, so it seems disingenuous, and prevents many people from being able to play at all.

    Provide that, and you move to a cinematic, but... unlike the beautifully rendered big screen experiences we've come to love with Overwatch, it's a couple quick in-game shots and voice lines, the same vod as the advert for the game they're pushing everywhere... with four years of development it's a little disappointing and a harbinger of what's to come.

    Finish this, the next thing you encounter is a full screen popup advertising the battle pass... so let's start there.

    OW1 had lootboxes, yes, but much of the player community was pretty happy with them - play a few games each week and you could easily unlock every cosmetic item in the game, and players who played less had the option of spending a little money to unlock anything you didn't want to grind for.

    OW2 has a battle pass, it costs you $10 every 9 weeks and it's mostly full of garbage. Most tiers are voice lines or icons, or tiny "charms" that hang off your weapon that can't be seen in game. 75% of the battle pass items are "premium" only, and the "free" items are mostly trash, with a small number of recolour skins.

    Heroes are locked 2/3 into the battle pass (unless you pay) Premium items cannot be earned through gameplay, you HAVE to pay.

    The battle pass is the only form of progression, unlocking a new threshold brings up large notifications in the main menu, which require you to enter the battle pass and look at the premium items to clear. for a "free" player, 75% of the time this entails going to look at a "new" unlock that you don't even have.

    The battle pass has 80 tiers, and each tier requires 10k xp to clear - a match earns about 500xp, so if you were to try and clear 80 tiers of the battle pass through matches alone, you would need to complete 1600 matches, or about 18 matches EVERY DAY. You can of course clear levels more quickly by doing "daily challenges" that rotate each day - these provide up to 9000 xp per day and typically require about 5 matches.

    It's clear that OW2 is a game build heavily on FOMO - in order to "complete" the battle pass, a player realistically needs to play 3-5 games on 80 out of the 90 available days, the game demands your time or you lose content, even if you paid for the premium pass - this is the model blizzard are aiming for, they want OW2 to be your main game that you log into every day, and the more you invest, the more sunk cost you have, and the more willing you will be to open your wallet to unlock content that you're constantly reminded will go away if you don't.

    Coupled with this, there's a rather subtle, and nefarious mechanic - "lifetime challenges" - many of these are trivially easy to clear, which means your first couple of seasons will clear through the battle pass more quickly, making it appear more reasonable, but as those one-time completion challenges dry up, you'll find you have to play more and more to complete the battle pass each season.

    So... you're intended to play every day, continually, AND open your wallet, or you "miss" content forever. It's an aggressive and abusive system designed to squeeze long time fans for every cent until they burn out and quit.

    -----

    Gameplay wise, the game's feel is very different. Hit registration and hit boxes are all over the place, and even very experienced players are complaining that aiming with hitscan "feels" bad now, it's difficult to pin down, but shots that look like they should hit miss, and shots that look like they should miss hit - With a significant increase in damage to non-tanks, skirmishes often feel like a crapshoot.

    In addition to this, the game is far worse in terms of optimization than before, choppy stuttering animations and lag do not make for a good experience, the changes to lighting and rendering shaders give scenery and characters alike a very uniform plastic texture, resulting in enemies and allies blending into the scenery and being harder to spot in a pinch... Long story short, it feels bad to play.

    The balance of teamfights is also shot, with tanks being nearly impossible to kill (especially if they're being healed) and everyone else dying almost instantly, play feels especially lacklustre as a healer, because it's almost impossible for a DPS or support to "be injured" but alive, restricting the pair of healers to either pocketing the tank and hoping they know what they're doing, or running their supports as discount DPS characters.

    Not to mention the constant bugs, server issues, and generally lazy feel to much of the new design, the replacement of the (generally good) assault mode with the abysmal push mode, or weird UI and sound.

    Some of the good in OW1 remains, but every change to OW1 in OW2 feels like a downgrade.    … Expand

    Gameplay is completely messed up. There is no more balance. The tanks are supposed to act as DPS and are designed as such. DPS are, well, tanks without the armor and healers are just cannon fodder except for moira which is just an outlier in this mess of a game. It is not uncommon for a moira player to have most higher kills/assist, heal and DPS in comp.

    There was obviously no quality control before release: that's why bastion have been killed from the game, torb eliminated from comp, and zarya in total mayhem makes no sense whatsoever.

    The 2 CP maps have been axed, why? The new maps are not enough to justify this removal. The new push the barrier mode is frankly a joke.

    The battlepass is obviously not worth it given that unusual skins are sold for a mere 1900 overwatch coins (close to $20).

    Now the server issue have been resolved but the game cannot match players properly as the grind to rise the comp ranks is pretty messed up.

    Given this is a free to play and they won't be able to balance the game (unless they accept to change seriously the game mechanics and some of the maps to come back to something that is slower paced and more readable), it's pretty certain this game will completely die soon.

    this game is going to bleed users fast if they do not bring back 6v6, lootboxes (damn shocker that) and almost all of the ui and gameplay mechanics that made ow1 successful.

    i give it a 1 because a 0 just seems childish, it is a 1 because it spits in the face of the game that was much better and after killing ow1 to make ow2 this is a travesty of the highest.

    I give it a 1 out of 10 because - compared to Reforged - it's still a good game. But replacing the original, taking away stuff from the game - it's pretty much the same sh*t. Also hiding ingame stuff behind insane paywalls and battle passes. Nope. Completely devalues the whole game.

    It feels like a clone of OW1 with only a few hero kit tweaks for some.

    What REALLY made me give a negative score, it's the monetization push. Getting greeted with the "Get the premium battlepass" on almost every screen ruined the experience and I immediately uninstalled after a single quick play match. Almost everything is locked behind the premium paid option, where OW1 you could earn everything through in game currency. The lootboxes sucked, but you weren't compelled to buy them as you had ways to earn them just by playing. This felt like they want you to buy passes over and over to get the sprays, emotes, and skins. I might revise this with PVE Story when it comes out. But as it stands right now, it's at best a mediocre F2P clone of Fortnite+OW1. I get the need to fund on going development, but this is not garnering good will back.    … Expand

    In addition to the fact that there are almost no changes in a positive way, the most important thing is that the game now provided with a moronic huge monetization like mobile games have.

It's like taking away my steak that I ordered at a restaurant and given me a pork chop and telling me it's the same thing just because it's meat.

    Now, on to the reasons I don't like it. This game was designed to be a 6v6 not a 5v5. The developers had issues balancing the first version, much less this drastic change it was never intended to be to begin with. I played both beta's they took out all CC, but left in all the dive that the CC was meant to counter. What the hell did they think was going to happen? This just created a huge power gap where every dive character is now the strongest thing in the game with nothing to stop it. Effectively this just turned it into a DPS game. The tanks don't matter, the healers don't matter. It's just who can put out the most accurate DPS damage and kill the other team faster, essentially bringing it down to a 2v2. This is just Call of Duty: Overwatch.

    I see why Jeff Kaplan left.

    This company bullied their employees to the point of suicide due to sexual harassment...

    Now they're introducing things we didn't want or ask for and hiding everything behind a paywall that we did enjoy about the game. Much like their history of sexual harassment now they're trying to clap the cheeks of the player base through their wallet and non-consensually taking away what we paid for to give us what we didn't buy to begin with.

    I'll be playing Paladins. At least they get regular updates and new champions and was designed to be a 5v5 from the start and the que times are like 2 minutes tops for any que and I can play any position I want without roll lock just like classic.    … Expand

    A little frustrated but undeterred, I then go to the vs AI mode since at least I could re-acclimate myself against bots instead of real people. The queue time itself was short but as soon as it had found a game, it just lead to another endless loading screen. This time with a little notification in the bottom left taunting me with '⚠️Error starting game, trying again.'
    Finally, I relented, and went to Quick Play - prepared to have my ass handed to me by teenagers the entire game - but no, what was waiting for me was even worse.
    '⚠️Error starting game, trying again.'

    This is all to say that, for me, Overwatch 2 was not a game. It was a menu and a loading screen.

    Even indie games lovingly crafted by but a single hand can't get away with this level of non-functionality. But from a gratuitous cash-grab sequel from an equally gratuitous AAA developer and publisher like Blizzard Entertainment: it is appalling.

    Edit: I was able to find a way to fix the issue by fiddling with my drivers and repeatedly scanning & repairing my game files so it's at least playable now. My issue with it still stands though as the player community shouldn't have to fix their game for them.
    Anyway, I've updated my score from a 0 to a 4 in light of these developments and since the core game itself is still fun and enjoyable. The problem is that it's not a new game; it just feels like the same Overwatch with a few new faces. I can't - in good faith - give it anything less than a 4 because as I said: the core gameplay of Overwatch is still excellent, but I also can't give it anything more than a 4 because there is nothing new within the game that I feel could justify the '2' in the title.    … Expand

Gameplay itself feels as a significant downgrade, where first game was about team-work the new instalment has fewer shield and stun abilities, making the game feel simply chaotic.… Expand

    It really seems to copy and paste from Overwatch 1 with more bugs and even worst gameplay. Everything is locked away unless you've been playing before.

I do not recommend for acquaintance. >:^(… Expand

    Approximately 20% of players cannot play the game simply due to their phone plan. The developers preached high and mighty ideals of inclusiveness but reneged on their promises the first chance they got. I am not exaggerating that for individuals with certain phone plans this game is quite literally unplayable. Step up blizzard and fix this.

    For most games this would be considered a patch not a sequel not much new content a cash grab and nothing more.

    The 5v5 model is less fun and more rigid than the previous game Don’t waste your bandwidth or time

    It’s been over 36 hours and I haven’t played a single match despite multiple downloads, reinstalls, updates, etc your game is broken and the one I paid for a year ago I can no longer play. Locking ppl out that don’t have name brand cell phone plans. What a terrible company.

    Ridiculous monetization aside, the update/upgrade replaces the first game so we can't play it anymore, and not everything carried over, so we lose some things we earned. I loved OW1 and played it a few times a week for years, and if you hadn't forced an upgrade on me I could just go back to playing OW1 and ignore the all-around inferior sequel, but now I just don't play OW.

    As a resource management enjoyer I do love the new feature they implemented where you try to earn as much as you can while spending the least amount of money.

    Pretty bad game overall, needs to be renamed to Overspam 2. All you do is spam bullets and hope someone dies in your spam. No tactical gameplay at all and even winning does not feel satisfying in this game. What a sad time for gaming.

    I payed for OW1, and they took away the game I paid for.

    I really loved to earn multiple chests per day in OW1, and now in OW2 they removed that. To earn 1 single legendary skin yo need to complete weekly missions for 3 months to earn enough coins to buy it. The battle pass has 80 levels, 10 free (by leveling it up) and 70 paid, but you need to complete the 80 levels to earn the 10    I payed for OW1, and they took away the game I paid for.

    5 vs 5 what was the point? this has fundamentally made every match feel like a team deathmatch. Tanks now do the most damage as they're constantly healed by the supports and only one of them. Some heroes no longer make any sense like Zarya without another tank its ruined how she was. Thanks for making us wait that long for and it being completely awful blizzard

    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.
