    After the release of this garbage, I can say without question that Blizzard are by far the worst "AAA" developers of all time. They have never released a true AAA quality game.

Even Milestone can develop games with much higher quality, and they are only worth a small fraction of what this company's worth. It just goes to show how extremely greedy and lazy these cheapskates are.

    Overwatch 2 is literally just a patch for Overwatch 1 that deletes 6v6. "Commit to Quality" more like Commit to Greed. What was the budget for this game, $9? I never thought I would see the day when a company is so penny-pinching, to the point that they become a real-life representation of Mr. Krabs. Not even EA is this cheap and greedy. EA are literal saints when compared to Blizzard. I don't recommend this garbage at all.

    It's free. It's a mod of Overwatch 1. In a lot of ways, the game feels great. They changed it in the ways they needed to, to make the characters stronger, and the fighting more intense.

    Good improvement on the pvp of overwatch. Sadly it has been plagued with some launch problems like being ddosed and more but the experience in game is amazing. Can't wait for pve to launch in 2023

Just like Destiny 2 and Fortnite did. they are huge succeeds but why you don't complain to other games but OW2 why? lol No PVE? yes Blizzard already say that next

    No PVE? yes Blizzard already say that next year. let PVP beginning for fun first. because we want to learn lots of new heroes and change skills something

    hate 5v5? I believe it's sorted out of queue quickly because 2/2/2 dps, tank and support lots of people wanted to play DPS all the time. but all tanks has been buffed and it's rock and awesome!

    Don't like Phone Number? it's good to stop hack or smurf account or swear. they should be afraid of phone number but that's bad. The **** people will enjoy it without number lol.

    Complain about already brought the old OW1 but remember we got many skins for free from loot boxes total $12 000 since it released. Be thankful for that

    I still play OW2 so much and I loved it! Please just ignored all negative people thank you

    It's Overwatch 1, but with a few really important changes that make the game actually palatable instead of the shield-and-stun-fest of the previous iteration. 5v5 is far, _FAR_ superior to the previous 6v6 gameplay, and it feels like the balance overall has been ironed out.

    I don't understand why there is a huge negative, most likely just review bombed.

    It's alright, Overwatch 2 is still the same Overwatch. Patiently waiting for the PvE content, PvP is fun while you aren't up against stacking try hard players, as Overwatch is pretty well known for this.

    Tem toda aquela história de "ain é o mesmo jogo". Sim, é o mesmo jogo com skinzinha diferente, mas ele abriu, por exemplo, oportunidade para pessoas sem muito dinheiro, como eu, desfrutar da obra prima que é o Overwatch. Impressionado que (por enquanto) não é pay to win.

    Going to just explain that the original intent (Kaplan) was never to go F2P. And this is ONLY the pvp portion of OW2. So yes, it is essentially "JUST" an update/rework, because the rest is still to come. This is mostly a restructuring of the new monetization and transition to a live service game.

    So what does this free update bring?

    6 entirely new maps. All amazing
    3 entirely new heroes. All amazing. 4th (tank) in December
    1 entirely new mode. Amazing

    All characters have new baseline look, new animations, and new voice lines

    Major reworks to characters like Orisa and Bastion

    So how is it? Imo new meta with less shields, less cc, and less tank is literally what the game needed to be fun again. If you're a lapsed player or even a new player. Check it out, play for yourself. You might find a reason to fall back in love with the game, and at the very least, have fun again!

    You unlock heroes at a pretty steady pace as a new user.
    Battle Pass XP and Challenges are pretty good (compared to Halo and Gundam)
    Ps5/XSX versions of the game with new graphical options and other improvements

    Happy Gaming! Hope this helped

    5v5 refreshes the game, the Battlepas gives you something to grind for.
    It is now totally free if you want to.
    It is not a complete game though, since the PvE elements are still to be added to the game.
    The mob here just does not like to objectively review the game without playing. But that is the issue with Metacritic.

    -The biggest change for me was a removal of 1 tank. Incredible how many things this have changed.
    While original game was a SHIELD DESTROYING FEST (especially when it's reinhardt x orisa or sigma), now it's more fast, more attacking for both DPS and tanks. However I feel that gameplay for healers didn't change much. Tanks are now so fun to deal damage to. They are practically unkillable,

However I feel that gameplay for healers didn't change much. Tanks are now so fun to deal damage to. They are practically unkillable, because healers in 5v5 have more resources to sustain them. AND THIS IS FUN. Not a "game for everyone" where 12 people play and one person can't make much difference and noone gets offended. No more a game where elo hell is more real than anywhere else.

    -At first I thought that UI is mobile-like, didn't like the idea, but in fact it just feels fresh and works well with both improved UI animations (i.e. Ult glow) and new hero select animations.
    -Rome map feels fresh too, and you see that they worked on post-processing, colors look picturesque.
    -Also new Push game mode is kinda fun to play.
    -New scoreboard. FINALLY. Now it's no more a game for snowflakes and easily offended people. Not a "game that should make you feel comfortable" and just fill in the player spot in a match. Now you can actually see how your team performs, HOW YOU PERFORM and plan accordingly

    Now to things I don't like:
    -Junker Queen has a very tiny hitbox, and a looot of HP for that hitbox (imagine Tracer with 400 hp), which makes her a very difficult target and, well, unbalanced.
    -New Battle Pass system... Let's be honest, we are okay with this system in Apex Legends, but here... It just doesn't fit. You buy a Battle Pass for what reason? To have skins all other players have? Skin distribution system back in the days told a story - you opened hard earned pack and got a legendary skin for your favourite character. Or you spent a handful of currency to buy just this one skin you like. This system I liked is no more.
    -Yes, game servers can't take this much load first few days. We see it in all Blizzard games.
    -Yes, compared to original game, you wait 2 minutes to find a game on dps instead of 10+mins. This shows how dead and abandoned and forgotten the original game was. And this is Blizzard's fault.

    10 out of 10 because of offended people here hitting 0. In fact 8 out of 10 bc it's super fun to play

    Most of the heroes got reworked beatifully, giving a full new experience to the game. 5v5, sacrificing one tank, made the game much more fluid, engaging and entertaining, because now you actually fight against players, not the shields. It's just as fun as 2016

    server issues on the first few days are annoying of course they are but running servers for a launch of one of the most popular titles in the world which without issue has been proven by every games company or every server based product in the world.

    SMS protect happens to be in nearly every other game but for ranked mode, that may be the path blizz shouldve taken, but its worth noting no one wants your number take your tinfoil hat off or you hiding something?

    worth noting I've seen people complain that skins are expensive in a world where valorant exists and charges 4x the most expensive single skin bundle for a skin bundle.

    context is everything and youll not find it in the majority of these reviews.

    TLDR the game is the most fun my friends and I have had playing overwatch in years

    But everything is relative. However, do not forget that this is a new game. All these loot boxes may not exist, as well as other familiar goodies. It looks like this rework of the first part was made only for the sake of more profit.

    All this seems so only at first glance. Game currency can be bought for real money, or you can earn in the game, though you will have to sweat a lot. In fact, the prices in this game are much lower than in other games from Blizzard. The issue is not even the price. You can pay for nothing at all and play for your own pleasure. Opportunities will come to you with time.

    The problem with this game is that it was presented to us in the wrong way. They release the game without looking back, forgetting that people also played it two days before the release. And when they came here again, these people were shocked by everything around - pay for everything, disconnection, the disappearance of a couple of old heroes with bugs, and in general, yes, many, many bugs! They should have tested this better when the beta was too short for the game of the year. A complete failure of communication with regular customers, I think this is the main drawback of the game.

    But there is actually much more to enjoy. After playing for a few weeks, I understood the whole idea and philosophy of this second version of the game. It looks like a jet visually, but it's really a completely new game. The team selection system made me happy. Just imagine that I was sitting on bronze for two years and it was simply impossible to get ahead. Now I'm getting closer to platinum and it's a completely different level of play. I don't even notice how the hours spent in this game fly by.

    And even now the game is not perfect. But no one is asking you to pay for it. Blizzard is still working on the game and we hope that everything will work out. I want everything at once, especially when we have been waiting for the release for several years. But sometimes when you wait a long time, you forget what you can get in the end.

    Most people here in the comments refer to Overwatch 2 as their first love. Just imagine that you met your first love again after six years and you have been waiting for it all six years. She has grown a big fat ass, wrinkles have appeared on her face and she is no longer the same as you loved her before. But during these six years she gained a lot of experience and became beautiful in her own way. If you knew all this in advance, would you be disappointed at the release? I don't think.

I don't like the battlepass but knowing that I'll only purchase the battle passes with new characters, it's only 3 a year i believe. I do not love that we only get 3 new characters a year but i also appreciate how difficult it would be to integrate and balance a new character into the game. Losing a team member has really changed the feel of the game. It's much faster, battles feel more chaotic and fun. Also updating the speed of the characters has really changed the feel of the game. I just hope they treat this version of Overwatch better, the community needs more content, more frequently to keep players coming back. It's a pretty good start so far. Expand

And then comparing it to CS:GO skin system? And comparing the games microtransactions to the Battlefront 2? (And ooh he totally talked about release version of BFront2)

    Why not play this game because of skins and 15 games to unlock chars? Its the same game! Maybe theres no 6v6. but it atleast fully exterminated 3 T, 3 S meta issue. It gave (symmetra) players less shield gain. But totally this game is banger! And if you hate this game because only of skin system change. Shut up, you're annoying.

    + Reduce frustration from de-rank due to teammates
    + New mode solves the previous issue perfectly
    + Fun per minutes spent is superb

Some aspects of of the new business model have been either questionable or simply poorly thought out, creating a early experience that left me and many others disappointed. People used the the previous business model might find what blizzard is doing offensive but lets not forget that they were not making any money on the loot box system, making that model unsustainable. Some of the current pricing for some items is clearly overpriced, but the general idea of a battle pass is reasonable and health enough to keep this game going. What is wrong is locking gameplay elements behind this like heroes, this just leads to unnecessary backlash and frustration. Still, as a game, Overwatch 2 improved on its predecessor significantly, fixing some of the first games glaring problems.

This, combined with the fact that some heroes have an extremely high cost on their legendary skins, loses a point for me there, but I'm not huge on cosmetics so it doesn't matter that much for me.

    Haters gonna hate. Overwatch 2 não é o mesmo jogo, é uma evolução perfeita do primeiro jogo, é agora o que sempre devia ter sido, muito divertido de jogar, muita coisa nova, com alguns problemas de lançamento, sim, mas é só ter paciência, não conheço um jogo que não tenha enfrentando o mesmo em seus lançamentos, como fall guys e new world...

    This is a business model change marketed as a new game. Blizzard wanted to make more $$$ off of OW1. They made the game 5v5, took away everyone’s access to OW1 (a game people paid for), and created the most utterly awful and greedy cosmetic paywall + grind ever in a F2P game. Shame on you, Blizzard.

The game was making good money too so don't buy in this **** propaganda of activision "blizzard" that they had to make the game "f2p". The prices in the shop are absolutely insane for a video game, ii's looking more and more like a mix of gacha game and **** f2p mobile games. 20 euro/dollar for a skin that is basically the same model with a different jacket, with that amount of money you can buy your friends that may struggle with money a good complete game for cheap using discounts. Insanity. Blizzard went insane. The battle pass make the game feels like a job because of fomo, also the rewards are so disgusting even with the premium one, when in past games you would get all the content by just buying the games once.
    Live services games should release big amount of content yearly and price it 30-40 dollars or something or use a sub model, the only healthy models for games I know are those, wow and ffxiv specifically work great like that.

    This game lost its soul. A complete dowgrade, many features that made it a cool game, like medals, cards, on fire animations, polish in the ui, ask people to group after a match and many many other cool stuff were removed and botched, there are white pixels on the edges of the characters icons in game... New heroes animations are lazy and uninspired, and some of them are awkward to watch during the play of the games. Blizzard is dead.

    Gaming is becoming worse and worse, beloved companies are abandoning the passion and art for quick cash grab and brainwashing younger generations with awful greedy monetization practice that belongs to predatory capitalism not game developers that ask fair prices to deliver to you all the content, while making us passionate seasoned gamers long for the golden times of 80' to apx 2007/2010.

    I quit, I give up, I will treasure all the characters and cool moments with me and say thank you to Jeff and all the passionate devs that worked on OW1 and old blizzard, that had various issues but at least they were passionate game developers without being controlled by greedy disgusting humans.

    Stay away from OW2 if you truly believe in healthy and passion driven gaming with fair monetization.

    The balance team needs to be fired and replaced with a drunk monkey. Genji was a high tier hero who had been bad for 2 years. He was not broken, just finally good. So they gutted him and buffed his counters. They cannot let Genji ever be good because support players can't be expected to learn matchups. A drunk monkey could probably balance the game better than the current balance team.

    Some annoying bugs and Challenges. Audio mixing needs some work, especially when it comes to enemy footsteps. Non-Battle Pass progression feels hamstrung with little to no rewards to earn outside of the Premium pass. Amount of free premium currency is pitiable. UI still needs some work.

    Thoughts-
    In its current early access, Overwatch 2 has a lot going for it. There are a lot of good things, especially for those who care about the core gameplay. But there are some negatives, whether it’s aspects of monetization, the UI, or progression. This is a new beginning, for better or worse. A lot hinges on the future PvE content, how Blizzard addresses and balancing concerns, whether future Battle Passes offer a decent slate of rewards, the appeal of limited-time events, new heroes and maps, and much more. At this moment, it is fun, and a fresh new experience for me, fabled Blizzard polish be damned. Whether it remains that way is anyone’s guess.

    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.
