    Blizzard is a complete embarrassment in the gaming community. What a hideous, underbaked "sequel". Disappointing outcome for one of gaming's most polished and enjoyable shooters. Blizzard has done a fantastic job of making horrible decisions at every turn with this game. I've uninstalled and will never look back.

    Absurd, game breaking que times upon initial release
    Routine disconnects which prevent normal games for either team
    A surprising amount of bugs which interfere with normal gameplay

    After the first few days:
    Hey, I like a lot of these changes
    My matches are somewhat balanced
    Seems to be working well

    Last Weekend, Monday, Tuesday:
    Almost all of my heroes get locked for a night
    I have to deal with que times again?
    Every match is, once again like in Overwatch 1, roll or be rolled, stomp or get stomped

    You know, I don't even care that much about the battlepass/store (even though it is atrocious and far worse than the old lootbox system), but I do care about being able to play a well matched game without bugs or disconnect issues. OW2 has already become OW1 in regards to this unacceptable circumstance.

    And the teammates you get these days, wow. I had a tank on my team last night in a competitive game who constantly bemoaned my inability to heal them, yet I had the most heals in the whole game from beginning to end. I said to them during the match, "press tab and look at the scoreboard." They obviously never did because they made the same complaint to the match chat at the end of the game. The enemy healers and my fellow support had about 7k healing each. I had 14k heals. So you can do literally twice the amount of healing as every other player in the game, lose, and still have your team's tank pin the failure on you. What more can you do in that circumstance? It is impossible to make your tank and other teammates not kill themselves by exposing themselves to multiple 5v1 scenarios (which is impossible to out-heal, of course). You can't make them kill the enemy or understand basic mechanics of the game like getting on the objective or appropriately using the map to avoid damage. Your teammates may very well not understand how their hero, their teammates heroes, or their enemy heroes function or how they should be countered. The game becomes broken, but you're the one getting blamed for the loss despite doing statistically more than anyone else in your role.

    Overwatch 2 is a frustrating group project without satisfying rewards.

    Sadly, I don't think I will even give OW2 a second shot after all of these issues. I say sadly because I really do appreciate and enjoy the idea of Overwatch. Unfortunately, the reality of Overwatch is a frustrating mess with some of the dumbest, most hateful people you will encounter on this planet.    … Expand

    Overwatch 2 cannot be explained without its predecessor. Overwatch 1 was one of the very best multiplayer experiences in terms of accessibility and clear design choices. The multiplayer landscape is littered with games, designed for young players, eagerly waiting to spend countless hours to sharpen their skills. Overwatch 1, led by Jeff Kaplan, achieved to combine a more mature player base with a high enough skill ceiling for younger players. It did so by following two clear design principles: “fun over balance” and “easy to learn, hard to master”.

    The core of this game was so good, that even now, where none of these principles are kept, it can only leave scars at it, no matter how hard the developers try to destroy it. They introduce tanks, which have unclear abilities and no tank-resembling physique. They implement duplicates of existing heroes and new ones, which skill gap is so huge, that you can’t expect success with less than 10 hours of practice.

    And these decisions or “scars” start to add up, blurring the clear vision of a once great game, leaving only a feeling of hollowness and anger against the incompetence of the new staff. Adding to this, is the utter ridiculous new monetization system, charging players 26$ for one skin for one of the 36 heroes. Even the “Trostpreise” (German for consolation prizes) reach price tags of 10$, consisting of worthless profile pictures, sprays and victory poses. One might ask if there are unlockables, well, if you mean with money, then yes, there are unlockables.

    Last but not least, the wokeness of this game must be addressed. Due to the fact, that Blizzard employees can’t keep their hands off of women, proven by countless controversies, the executives are now trying to paint over their dark past by sending mendacious letters of excuse. These letters consist of posing only black heroes on the cover, cutting away from the Asian e-sport players in their trailers, renaming existing heroes and pushing an all-female agenda (and many more ridiculously small steps). I always liked Overwatch for pushing boundaries, but with this, they are not brave, but instead playing it safe to appeal to a modern audience.

    Since Blizzard tries to be responsible for the Top 5 Worst Rated Games on Metacritic, I must congratulate it to be one step closer to its, now very achievable, goal.    … Expand

    When Blizzard announced Overwatch 2, the gaming community was abuzz with anticipation. Overwatch, with its colorful roster of characters and fast-paced gameplay, had cemented its place as one of the premier first-person shooters of its time. The sequel promised more: a fresh layer of depth with PvE (Player vs. Environment) content and an expansion on the already rich lore. But did it liveWhen Blizzard announced Overwatch 2, the gaming community was abuzz with anticipation. Overwatch, with its colorful roster of characters and fast-paced gameplay, had cemented its place as one of the premier first-person shooters of its time. The sequel promised more: a fresh layer of depth with PvE (Player vs. Environment) content and an expansion on the already rich lore. But did it live up to the hype?

    PvE Content - A Missed Opportunity:
    One of the standout features Blizzard highlighted for Overwatch 2 was its PvE content. However, upon release, it quickly became evident that this aspect of the game was not as fleshed out as many had hoped. The missions felt repetitive, lacking the depth and variety that would justify a full-priced sequel.

    Financial Concerns:
    The decision to release a sequel rather than updating the original Overwatch with new content raised eyebrows. To many fans, it felt like a calculated move to extract more money, especially those who had invested heavily in the original title, both financially and in terms of time spent.

    Familiarity Breeds Contempt:
    While sequels are expected to retain core elements from their predecessors, Overwatch 2 often felt more like an expansion pack than a full-fledged sequel. The gameplay mechanics, while still solid, didn’t offer much innovation. The line between familiar comfort and stagnant repetition became blurred.

    Technical Issues:
    Post-launch, players reported various bugs and glitches that, while not game-breaking, were significant enough to detract from the overall experience. For a sequel from a seasoned developer like Blizzard, such oversights were unexpected and disappointing.

    A Mixed Bag of Updates:
    While some heroes got intriguing redesigns and skill tweaks, others felt untouched or even unbalanced. This inconsistency made the meta feel uneven, impacting the competitive scene and casual play alike.

    Communication Breakdown:
    One of the enduring criticisms was Blizzard's perceived lack of transparent communication regarding their vision for the sequel, post-launch plans, and addressing community feedback. Given the passionate Overwatch community, this perceived silence felt like a snub.

    In conclusion, while Overwatch 2 did bring some new content to the table, it faltered in areas that mattered most to its dedicated player base. The decision to release it as a separate title, especially with its steep price point, left many feeling short-changed. The sequel, instead of elevating the franchise to new heights, serves as a cautionary tale about understanding and respecting a game's community and their expectations.    … Expand

    Previously, all players were waiting for each event - the reason was new skins and we were given quite a lot of them, 6 legendary + epic and more, and everything could be obtained for free, and how many skins you would have depended on the time spent in the game.

    For years they gave 6 legendary skins just for playing, and now they give 2 for money

You can’t buy ow1 cosmetics for free if you don’t have enough ow1 credits and you can’t even earn them. One of the biggest mistake is heroes in Battle Pass. C’mon Blizzard, you serious? You can say that in Apex, Valorant, LoL etc. you have to buy new characters too but it seems that developers forgot that Overwatch is a game where you HAVE TO change heroes during a match to counter your enemy hero or enemy set-up. No one gives a **** about it’s free access (55 level of 80 seriously). A lot of donations even for casual cosmetics. Even Apex have more options to get some COOL cosmetics for free. They have special currency to get this cosmetics for free. Weekly challenges are not enough (60 per week).

    The biggest problem is the incredible internal purchase and the game does not deserve to be called Overwatch2. I support this 5v5 change, which increases the number of times that two teams face each other head-on. But the update content is too little and the game is too subtle.

I have almost every legendery skin on every hero and I haven't donated a single penny. But now the game is full of "give me money worth of tripple A tittle game and I give you some skins". Calling this game OVERWATCH is just a joke. Blizzard made this game with full f2p experience that I hated in other games.

You will need to be a NEET who can play the game 24/7 to get one skin while OW1 gave out enough lootboxes to let everyone have a good chance at getting multiple cool cosmetics. They also lock new heroes at level 55 of the pass if you're f2p while premium players get them instantly because **** you. The "free" path of the battlepass is utter **** and has absolutely no cool items at all, even the below average items were all put on the premium section, so f2p players who actually have time to dedicate their entire ****ing life to grinding it won't get anything worthwhile but a new champion. The battlepass also doesn't even refund itself like passes do in just about every other game. OW1 also did let you grind out enough currency to get cool new event skins whenever they came out. That's gone now too. Many heroes have had their cool techs and mechanics removed for no reason, and now matches are super reliant on tanks even more than OW1. They spent 4 ****ing years making this and all it is is a watered down OW1 with even worse monetization, and you can't even go back to play OW1 anymore either cause they shut it down.

    A piece of garbage that was released for profit.
    Overwatch was a game that you came to play, enjoyed the gameplay and got new loot every week, there was a certain motivation to play.

In those very moments when a legendary skin or an epic skin falls out of the case, you really experience some kind of pleasant feeling, like in some casino when you hit the jackpot, and it was always some kind of surprise effect, everyone was running with different skins.

    Overwatch 2 is the same game with minor changes, in some cases even for the worse, for example, tanks, which are now almost impossible to destroy using the example of Orisa and Zarya. I also don't see a problem with adding 5x5 and 6x6 to the game because a lot of people don't like the new update. There is no motivation to play anymore because the game offers you nothing for playing it. I and millions of players believe that battlepass is garbage that all modern games earn from, but still some games are able to create a good battlepass, but, unfortunately, this is not about Overwatch 2. There is no surprise effect, as it was before, anymore, you pay and just spend a lot of time in the game to open all the content. New players who buy battlepass will not have what we had in the first part, we are talking about originality, as mentioned above, different loot dropped out of containers to everyone. You can say, "You can buy the skin you want for your money, why are you complaining here", but buying skins for 1/3 of the price of the game you once bought, the skins you got in the first part because you play and open cases, NO thanks.

    Conclusion blizzard is a money-hungry company that replaced the game we once bought with a free, unambiguous garbage dump with pumping money out of players, the clown skin they gave to old players embodies them very well.

    Nothing significant enough has been added or changed to the better to justify a re-release and about four years of original Overwatch release having almost no updates besides trying to force cybersports onto the playerbase.

Instead,    Nothing significant enough has been added or changed to the better to justify a re-release and about four years of original Overwatch release having almost no updates besides trying to force cybersports onto the playerbase.

    Highly marketed huge PVE campaign - the most compelling reason for a re-release of the game, has first been delayed, to not be delivered in a promised form. Instead, now we are looking at 15$ small mission packs with little to none replayability, no additional features such separate PvE character progression with a perk system etc.

    Though the whole point of releasing OW2 as it turned out was the introduction of predatory f2p monetization with a FOMO-inducing battle pass that not only includes cosmetics but limits access to new playable characters as well, and also an addition of premium cosmetics store with absurdly high prices. Even lootboxes from the first game don't look so bad in comparison to this.

    Updated character designs, made to reflect the changes that happened to them in a non-existent "story" that was going on in the background somewhere, were simply overloaded with unnecessary details, became less readable and lost their former charm.

    Not to mention that it was yet another botched launch of an ActiBlizz title with unstable server connection for every region and awfully long queues to enter the game, frequently reported issues with transferring progress from the first game, as well as questionable decisions, such as the need to bind a phone number in order to play.

    Overall, even if most of those things will be fixed eventually and the dev team somehow manages to ship meaningful content updates regularly (so far, it still doesn't look so good according to community feedback), I don't see why this game is worth anyone's time all things considered.    … Expand

    It could be the best game in the world but making it a stipulation to have a contractually post post paid phone plan to play is classist. Blizzards motive is to sell user data, not to enrich the player experience. It has no bearing on the gameplay, and only serves to gatekeep and exclude players. It is the opposite of the spirit of gaming and play the Blizzard should strive for.

    My original thoughts still stand but I have enjoyed the new change to 5v5. However I do mainly play open queue which leads to much more interesting team compositions. There's so much that still needs to be ironed out in this game. Hero balancing needs a ton of work but it will get there. What I really miss the most is award voting at the end of games, medals, leveling up and the showing of other people's levels during a game. The scoreboard is okay but the old one felt superior for personal stats. It does help if you think a teammate would be better off being in a different role as you can easily see how everyone is doing and make a suggestion.



    Original:
    I feel like they've ruined what used to be an awesome game.

    I played Overwatch for nearly 1000 hours. Definitely one of the best games I've ever played with the most intense moments, particularly in competitive. Overwatch 2 felt like Apex at times. It's like they had to add lots of sounds, turn the saturation up to 100 to add appeal to the game. It doesn't feel right. The lack of prestige levels makes it feel like your playing without progression. Not entirely sure what benefit there was to removing them. I know it's free to play now but I hate how expensive everything is. I don't consider 1900 credits a reasonable price for what is essentially just a digital cosmetic. It's a real shock going from how Overwatch worked to this. Collecting all of the items was a real pull for me playing Overwatch and now I feel as though I'm just being excluded because I'm unwilling to throw hundreds of pounds at blizzard. I just don't believe in this type of game monetisation system. I mean I get a free game but I'd much rather pay for a game and not be excluded from things.

    The in game stat screen is a definite downgrade. Yes it's nice seeing other people's stats but I care more about my own. It's not quick or easy to read. The showing of other stats only creates internal team competition rather than focusing on the objective of the game mode. It will inevitably lead to a lot of calling out of those who think certain teammates aren't pulling their weight.

    I miss the awarding of medals based on each stat and the voting system at the end to call out good gameplay. The simplification of the endorsement system is also a downgrade, it could have been expanded to actually help describe what each player is good at contributing to a team.

    I didn't feel as though I was really connected with what was going on gameplay wise whilst playing. It felt odd as I never felt this way in OW1. I just wasn't getting hyped when we were pushing on objective or about to win. At times it felt like the whole gameplay was just a mess. These are probably the most obvious things I've noticed so far.

    Now for what I liked. The new characters are good, have inventive abilities and are quite fun to play. The addition of more hot button commands to share info with your team (going in, defending, watching here etc) are really good. This is something that was really lacking in OW1.

    I'll update this as things progress.    … Expand

    Most of us paid actual money for ow1 and what do we get now that the "new" overwatch 2 is free to play? We get a battlepass that we need to pay even more money to unlock, hour long waiting times to enter the game, and like 95% of all skins being locked behind paywalls.

They decided to go Free to Play as an Excuse to try and milk as much money as possible from the playerbase, damaging both competitive integrity as well as the game experience in the process. Everything in the shop is overpriced whether or not you can grind for them, and Locking heroes behind a battlepass, forcing you to either pay up or Grind for weeks just to keep up in a competitive is not acceptable, in a Hero based game it is ridiculous and has a net negative on the game, providing no silver lining besides that the execs get even more money

    They made the decision to remove one tank player from each team as well as most CC and some barriers in the game. However they have utterly fail to change and redesign the roster in order to fit with this new environment, causing a meta that heavily favored The Flankers and precision based players while severely weakening the already unpopular but very necessary support and tank players.


    The game also failed to live up to even the bare minimum expectations, players have been waiting 3yrs for this and yet i can name all of the new things OW2 has in a single Breath.

    This game gets 0 as it is an overall downgrade in almost every aspect from OW1, the game it replaced and all of these new greed based changes are compounded by the fact that players have been patient waiting several years for this suffering through extremely long content drought that was al in vain.    … Expand

    Terrible launch for a company who's games are almost exclusively online.
    Solo tank absolutely screwed the team-based gameplay.
    Supposedly fixed the login problems, now there's over 10 mins of queue waiting time for a single quickplay match. Unbalanced, clearly some heroes are meant to be played, others I genuinely wonder why they even kept in.

    This is not a new part of the game, but a global update that spoils the whole game, re-balancing and changing characters have worsened the game so much that now there is no desire to play, after 3 years of active play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я фанта данной игры и в первой части с 2017 года, игра хоть и не поддерживалась но была играбельна! Скачав вторую часть данной серии я столкнулся с симулятором ожидания... 30000+ очередь... Ладно дождался... Итог нет больше поиска пати для игры, нет баланса (об этом отдельно скажу), нет половины скинов на акаунте... Начнем с главного за три года Blizzard Entertainment сделала не новую игру, а среднее обновление и не более того. Убрали шестого героя (понять можно пытались уменьшеть очередь для персонажей класса урон. Но баланс сразу ущёл в трубу! Ибо половина танков это класс урона, вторая половина это страдания, взять тогоже Reinhardt щит 1200 на 3 секунды (где старые 2000), всего два щита в игре но они не играбельны, половина танков это мусор вторая играбельные терпилы. Котроля в игре больше нет как такого трейсер, хомяк, сомбра и т.д. делают что хотят(зачем флешку убрали?).... Новые карты это полное дно ни одного прохода во фланг так еще и нет боланса по подходам.

    I am a fan of this game and in the first part since 2017, the game, although not supported, was playable! After downloading the second part of this series, I ran into a waiting simulator... 30000+ queue... Okay, I waited... The result is no more search for a party for the game, no balance (I'll tell you about this separately), half of the skins on the account are missing... Let's start Since the main thing for three years, Blizzard Entertainment has made not a new game, but an average update and nothing more. The sixth hero was removed (understandably, they tried to reduce the queue for characters of the damage class. But the balance immediately fell into the pipe! For half of the tanks is a damage class, the second half is suffering, take the same Reinhardt shield 1200 for 3 seconds (where the old 2000), only two shields in the game but they are not playable, half of the tanks are garbage the second is playable terpils.There is no more control in the game as such a tracer, hamster, sombra, etc. do what they want (why did they remove the flash drive?).... New maps are a complete bottom there is not a single pass to the flank, and there is still no balance on the approaches.    … Expand

    Can't play to even get a review so its a zero for me. I played overwatch a lot a few years ago and have been wanting to play the second but since I have cricket I can't play. How many players are they going to loose from this? I paid for the first one and it's gone now too. Can't play it either. Well overwatch, was wishing to play some games but I guess you hate people with prepaid phones.

    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.
