    You need to provide a mobile phone number, otherwise you can't play. It will take hours to queue up to enter the game, and network error occurs after entering the game.

They have turned a beloved game into one giant shooting fest. Teamplay is no longer a part of the equation because it's basically every man for themselves trying to do as much damage as possible. There are snipers and one-shot kills EVERYWHERE. This is an active choice Blizzard has made to cater to a wider audience which will slowly turn this to a generic shooter.

    Now with the free-to-play model, a ton more players are in the game, and the short queue times are possible the only positive thing about it. It brings a crap load of Fortnite-like players who has no clue of what teamplay means. Not a single person is paying attention to what is happening around them. Everyone is focused on the nearest enemy and you can ping out enemies, and no one cares. If your playing solo random queue, it's basically a lottery to see if you are lucky enough to get into a team that actually knows what they are doing.

    On top of making the game less fun to play for support, they've added a super expensive shop and a battle pass that means absolutely nothing for the player. It's just another way for them to milk money off their player base. In OW1 I occasionally bought a skin. In OW2, that will never happen.

    This game has turned so bad for support players that I'm seriously considering stop playing. This is from a person who have enjoyed OW1 since day one. In it's current form, I absolutely HATE OW2.

    Added 2022.11.29
    ------------------------
    The first season ends in one week and the game is still total **** They haven't tried improving anything to make it more fun to play for support. Matchmaking is totally broken. You can end up in the losing team 6-8 times in a row, even though I am top healer in 70% of the matches.

    Tanks are still out damaging DPS heroes and there are a ton of people playing tank who doesn't have a clue on how to play the role. Going 5v5 is the worst decision Blizzard has made. One bad tank, one tank that throws, and the game is over. They have literally made the most important role the one that people fail the most playing. They made the changes to appeal to damage dealers, and guess who plays tank...? Damage dealers that have zero clue on how to play.

    OW2 is still a total disaster and messed up garbage of a game. Stay away if you don't like frustration, long queues and people who don't give a crap about their teammates. I 100% HATE this game and people who have made it.

    I can say with absolute sincerity that Overwatch 2 is terrible. It's one of the worst games I've ever played. The characters are generic and ineffectual, the matches are either a complete steamroll with you either instantly winning or losing with zero in-between, and the graphics make it look like it came out more than a decade ago.

    Blizzard has taken content out of the game and added utterly insulting microtransactions. It's appalling, honestly. Eight months to unlock a single skin, several years to unlock everything on one character. A battle pass that locks playable characters behind it. And to top it all off, the video game that I purchased with my own money has been completely removed and I cannot access it, anymore. If I ever wanted to boot up Overwatch again, I would have to settle for Walmart Great Value version that Blizzard is calling a sequel.

    First, they took one of my childhood games from me, removed it from existence, and replaced it with a broken mess. Warcraft III was only the first sacrifice. I have uninstalled all Blizzard games and will not be giving them money, from here on out. I have boycotted the demonic entity that is wearing Blizzard's face. I highly suggest everyone do the same so we can finally shut down this monstrosity.

    They only changed the layout and added some maps and 1 game mode. It doesn't have the campaign as it was in the trailers since the beginning of the disclosure. Online casino has now increased with battle pass. Voices of old voice actors mixed with new voice actors. One more game to waste. I've never seen a game cease to exist to become 2.

    Unfortunately, Blizzard has once again failed to meet even the low, low bar they have set for standards. Overwatch 2 or, 1.5 until it actually releases PvE, has been riddled with more frustrating bugs than the release of Cyberpunk. From inadequate servers (which they blame on DDoS attacks) to locking people out of heroes while trying to fix bugs.

    Система доната как у EA и бп как в колде: Всегда пожалуйста мы рады скромным деньгам что нам приносит аудитория. Спасибо что держите нас на денежной игле а то мы бедные даже сервера купить не можем.

    В итоге я предлагаю байкотировать студию и её проекты по тому что пока пидора (Бобби котика) не пнут под жопу и не наберут людей игры будут катиться на дно и постоянно огорчать верных фанатов студии. Но в любом случае вряд-ли они дойдут до этого со своими микро мозгами и нам придётся терпеть или же уходить в более крутые проекты. Самая большая оценка которую я могу поставить этой игре это 0 и то это даже слишком хорошая оценка для такой игры. Добро пожаловать в фифу господа.

    Game would be fun if the servers weren't so awful even after the server patch. The monetization scheme in this game is disgusting however. The team went back on the idea of giving players every character in return of a pay for new character system, and with how blizz releases new characters it makes it pay to win. That's not even mentioning the awful skin monetization.

    I wrote in support, they answered only two days later and said just wait, maybe they will fix it.

    There are thousands of people on the forums with the same problem. Blizzard doesn't answer.

    But I congratulate you all, we have a "wonderful" battle pass. We all "dreamed" about it. Someone in Blizzard's leadership went crazy, released a very bad update and called it Overwatch 2.

    Very, very disappointed. The game just doesn't work. Like I've been robbed.

    In battle pass, you are not given any currency, all cosmetics are worth real money and the cost of cosmetics has been increased by 2 times. Monetization in this game is the purest scam.

One tank can’t take nearly enough aggro and it’s really only about shooting and getting kills now, synergising abilities matters far less and the game is very DPS focussed. Frontline and back line are far less defined and fights are all a bit of a mess, teams have less survivability, fights are far shorter, healers get wiped so easily with minimal protection, healing feels more redundant a role with people dying so quickly, first pick determines most fights, and it’s more about individuals getting picks than synergising anything, individual play can have more impact but it’s at the expense of what made Overwatch a great TEAM shooter. It literally plays like somewhere between Overwatch and traditional Call of Duty. This goes for some of the presentation as well, in terms of the sound design, how kills are confirmed, medals popping up for all kinds of different nonsense. Their intentions are clearly to make this appeal to a wider audience by making it closer to a conventional shooter and dumbing it down, to then monetise the hell out of it. Attract a new crowd of kids and make them want to buy loads of content. Scumbags. £3 for an emote, £8 for a character skin. Constantly pushing a battle pass which will constantly need renewing at around £10 a time. And what a joke to call this Overwatch 2. There’s not enough new content to even call it Overwatch 1.5. Maybe 1.1. Literally one new hero of each class and a few maps. And the new game mode is so unbelievably bad. This in no way at all feels like a new game. It’s just Overwatch 1 with a crappy battle pass, more micro transactions and cash grabs and a slightly new aesthetic. And the new stuff that is in the game is the worst stuff they’ve ever done.

    They took a very good game and gutted it of its strategy and depth then added a predatory monetization system. It's now a sad reminder of the game that it was and you cannot go back to the better version because they killed it for this patch with a 2 on it.

    For a game that's been "years in the making", it seems like almost everything has taken a step back. They keep saying it's a new game, but aside from removing a tank and adding a couple of maps (while taking away a few as well), it doesn't feel like a new game nor even a breath of fresh air... It's just Overwatch but with monetization...

It's just Overwatch but with monetization...

    When I started playing OW2, the queue to enter the game was long and for some reason, it still took over 5-7 minutes to find a match. When I finally did find a match, I noticed some weird bug going on with Bastion (He was able to fire MANY more times during his ult than he was supposed to...). There was also someone with an aimbot Widowmaker... So much for the whole verification thing to cut down on hacking... For something teased years ago, it honestly feels like a huge step back... The only thing I kind of liked was that with 5V5, gameplay feels faster and there isn't the double-shielded tanks situation that slowed down gameplay in Overwatch 1.

    And as someone who payed for Overwatch 1, it's kind of weird that I can't even play it anymore. So they took my purchase and are asking for more money? I mean, it's fine that a company needs to make profit, but this is not the way to do it.

    This game is just pay to win now. Either you pay $10 or you have to play round about 50 hrs just to get a new hero. If a hero has a game breaking bug it takes them weeks to fix it, which also means that the hero isn't available for said time.

    And now they also canceled the promised PVE mode, so it's just a cash grab game now.

    I specifically came here after Redditors claimed that negative user scores were invalid (which is insulting to the intelligence of the players, who are not blind to the laziness and greed of Blizzard).
    Overwatch 2 was launched incomplete.
    Weapon Charms were added to the game (good in theory), but they were added lazily, with some pointing out that for one character, the charm sticks out of his hand, rather than being incorporated into their weapon.
    At launch I had access to one Weapon Charm which was not interesting enough to use.
    Can you earn more?
    Maybe?
    The Battlepass system they implemented was confusing to understand, even with a tutorial.
    It is much less rewarding (if rewarding at all) than a loot box system; let me be clear, there is a difference to me between "loot boxes" and "paid loot boxes", the latter being debatably unethical, utilizing gambling mechanisms on vulnerable people to take money from them they otherwise would not have spent.
    I have seen many sources point out how expensive it would be to buy cosmetics, including cosmetics that were in OW1; I understand a company has to make money, but this smells of greed.
    The game does let you play as old skins from OW1, if you do not want to play as the OW2 skins, however, the in-game portraits for the character you are playing appears to be OW2, and there is no ability to change it, and at least for a couple characters, I do not like the new designs, and the portraits are distracting (OW2 should allow you to select from more portraits, such as OW1 versions).
    I personally do not like the mode Push as much as old modes.
    Some of the new maps are bland, uninspired, and lack the amazing design of maps from OW1.
    I prefer 6v6 (OW1) to 5v5 (OW2).
    OW2 removes quality of life features from OW1.
    OW2 tweaks little things here and there which make them worse than OW1.
    OW2 downgraded post-game voting and commending, which was a terrible decision.
    If OW1 still existed (Blizzard ultimately broke their promise to maintain OW1 [see the Wikipedia article for Overwatch for source]), I might play it over OW2, but since I have no choice I will play OW2.
    But I notice I am playing OW2 less often than I did OW1, even though it is a brand new game.
    I will do my best to avoid spending any money on OW2, until Blizzard addresses my concerns in this review, as well as countless others I have read in other reviews, on this site and others.
    OW1 was such an amazing game.
    OW2 is a downgrade of OW1, just so Blizzard could try to squeeze more money out of players.

    Huge fan of the original and was excited to finally play the sequel. This is a massive disappointment from Blizzard. My first few hours are spent playing the same maps as I did in the original. A lot of the heroes are blocked until I pay for them and the servers are a mess. Not sure what happened during development but this game needs serious work if it’s to live up to the originals success.

    This is my first time using this fresh account or ever really using this site. Overwatch 2 is a massive disappointment pushed out by a scummy company that exists to push a f2p battle pass model on it's playerbase. The balance team has lost the plot, the lore team never had a plot, and everything from ingame model and UI designs to gameplay has been dumbed down to try and approach a broader audience while simultaneously spitting, pissing and **** on the unique flow and character Overwatch 1 had. I did not buy Overwatch to play Call of Duty with funny buttons. I played Overwatch to play Overwatch. Now I can't even do that, because the developers have actively decided to **** delete the first game out of everybody's library to replace it with the second one that has all these bad changes. Even if you liked the first game more, you literally can never play it again.

    Which is **** insane, by the way. You spend money to play the first game, it gets deleted and replaced with a free game, and your 'compensation' is such a joke i'm not even going to mention it, because it isn't a real compensation. Blizzard actively seems to want this game to only survive off of people that are too **** stupid to play other games. I have never seen a game company put 'alienate a majority of our playerbase' on their list describing a path to success.

    The entire community, at large, has criticized their changes to the game almost every step of the way, and instead of addressing any of it, they have decided to keep making things worse. When your entire playerbase, or at least 90% of it, is screaming and begging you to stop mutilating the corpse of a once beloved game, and you decide to start cooking and eating the remains instead of stomping whatever jello is left into the dirt, you are not creating videogames correctly. That was not the correct response. Doubling down on every single thing people don't like about overwatch 2 is why I hope blizzard burns to the ground.

    There isn't even normal marketing. There is only scum. The company is only scum. I've always known Blizzard was full of hacks, but the occasional diamond in the rough always gets 'polished' into a lump of generic, dirty stone when in the hands of Blizzard Entertainment. You should've put all the funding from overwatch 2 into an Arcane-style Overwatch cinematic production and left the first game alone.

    Now that my general thoughts are out of the way, here are a quickfire list of things I dislike

    Battle passes. They're awful. I dislike every and any kind of stupid pseudo-gambling mechanic, and I do the same to anything that locks ingame content through unnecessary grind. And it's not just cosmetic content either, since now heroes (the game's main draw- your only way of accessing different weapons and abilities) are also locked in battle pass levels, which will be the only way to access new heroes going forwards.

    Old characters are also locked for new players, so it's not just the new heroes your going to have to grind and do silly 'challenges' for, while Overwatch 1 had every hero available for the entire playerbase on release, which was infinitely more consumer friendly.

    The way they've changed certain characters (Doomfist for example) have entirely ruined what made them interesting in the first place. Instead of trying to balance a character's kit, they've decided on replacing it entirely. There are very, very few times where this is the right move to make, and this was not one of those times.

    On the topic of battle passes, Genji (a character in the game) is incredibly strong right now. It is obvious that Genji is too powerful. His presence alone in a game, especially the 'free for all' mode, can ruin it. He is strong right now because he has a mythic skin on the battle pass, the 'big money item' that draws players into grinding for it. Of course he's broken on release, the same day that the battle pass is introduced to everybody.

    Switching from a 6v6 to a 5v5 format is a big step, and it hasn't been done well. Overwatch 1 had 32 playable characters who were all created, designed, and balanced for a 6v6 format. Less than half of those characters get real adjustments for the new 5v5 gameplay. The game feels off because it is off.

    The story mode the game was advertised besides is not actually part of overwatch 2 and will be a separate purchase releasing next year.

    It is not a sequel. There are so little real changes to the game that it feels like one big bad update, not a fresh title.

    Additionally, the new content is just boring. Mostly lacking character, very generic. The newer hero additions to the roster are lacking substance and polish, as are their cosmetics (the Junker Queen's skins all look the same regardless of rarity)

    Don't play this game. it will make you feel bad, and Blizzard doesn't deserve your playtime, much less money.

    5v5 is a mess. Fights are now brawls and too chaotic. Either you have one support so they run for their life 24/7 and then never play support again, or you have one tank and there's only so much one tank can do. Tanks also get shafted into being Rein/Orisa/Sigma/DVA since the game isn't really balanced for this new format. Still no DETAILED, WITH NUMBERS skill descriptions on the F1 screen (just wimpy generalizations). People trickle 24/7 or get exposed much more harshly in this new 5v5 format. Achievements still require 4 people or more even though the format is now missing an extra player OR require 1% game type conditions to materialize, not skill.

    You get basically nothing from just playing the game unless you spend money. I'm willing to spend money for some things but NOTHING? And why the f/// are skins like $20? Stop chasing whales and go after plankton. Make skins cheap and everybody will buy them. Right now they get $0 and ill-will from players instead.

    With the role out being beyond disastrous, the only thing good about OW2 is that it's free to start and now supports AMD FSR. The spirit and strategy of it has been destroyed.

    1. Battle pass
    2. Premium currency
    3. If you own Overwatch 1, you are currently unable to play or unlock any of the old heroes. I don't even know how this mistake made it into the game 4. 1 tank per team makes things way less interesting. A lot of the tanks were designed to work with other tanks in mind, so limiting to one tank is **** game-breaking. Just let me back into Overwatch 1

    Overwatch Immortal. This thing is just another disgusting cash cow for blizzard, they had to shut down the original overwatch because literally nobody would choose to play this steaming pile of garbage. Another decent IP ruined by greed.

    Although overwatch 1 was not perfect, they took a really great model of a game and took away the power and control of the player away. In OW1 the player had the ability of getting to choose what items to purchase for the heroes you actually played with. I didn't even mind getting duplicates because I could earn coin too save up and buy a legendary skin.

I didn't even mind getting duplicates because I could earn coin too save up and buy a legendary skin. But with the battle pass model it took away the players freedom of choice and forced to "earn" unwanted items ithat were payed for with actual money. I feel robbed and will not be buying future battlepasses. Also the 5v5 model feels so much worse than the 6v6 and the changes to some of the characters are unwelcomed and not a step forward. The game just feels so foreign, OW1 was like a prized pig and OW2 is lipstick on a boar. I wish we had the ability to choose between playing OW1 and OW2. Blizzard you **** up, screwed the pooch, **** the bed, etc. etc. All for greed. One legendary skin per battlepass? For a hero you don't even main does not make me want to grind and weekly challenges are another bad idea. I was a daily OW1 player, it was my main game, now I can't think of one saving grace at this point because the negative outweighs any positive by so much. Expand

    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.
