    Overwatch 1 : medal system, MVP system, play to progress, chest system, quest

At this rate, Overwatch will have a big problem...

    I think the game itself is great, but what the sequel brings, is the worst in video game history. They stopped updating the game for years, made you pay for skins, and made it difficult to unlock heroes unless you pay for them.

    On top that they basically scrapped most of the PvE stuff they planned, so there is literally no point in calling this a sequel for marketing purposes.

Instead they wait until the game is in a terrible state and as a last ditch effort try to balance things. They have neglected their promised PVE mode, and have given like 0 information about it. Also making the PVE mode and paid DLC which is just tragic considering OW1 players were forced to switch to OW2 and didnt really get compensation for it other than oh you get to keep your things that youve earned!! Save your mental and go play something more enjoyable. Id rather play league than this game and thats saying something. Expand

    Horrible. Es casi imposible encontrar una partida decente siempre es humillar o ser humillando, no importa que juegues competitivo, rápida o arcade. Los único que hace Blizzard es sacar un montón de skins que no aportan nada al gameplay. Después de 2 temporadas y media esperando a que cambie, estoy completamente decepcionado y arto del juego. No pierdan su tiempo y mucho menos su dinero en el.

    A game that should have never been made. It is an absolute atrocity to call this Overwatch 2. It is not even Overwatch 1.2. No pve, 80 euro skins, a dumb battlepass. It is a pure moneygrab. Also one would only play ranked if they hate themselves. Such a pity I loved overwatch 1 but this 'game' made me uninstall and never turn back. I wish overwatch 1 was still around.

    Overwatch 2 is the same damn game but worse. I cannot believe they went the free-to-play route when really it is just a trap for micro transactions. The only time it is decent fun is when you play with friends but if your like me and do not have any, it is awful and boring.

    This game is a broken mess and it can't be salvaged. Every new patch released, claiming to solve problems only creates others.

Every new patch released, claiming to solve problems only creates others. Artificially boosting and tanking player's ranks, poor matchmaking, allowing for rank disparities that are not possible to queue with if within the same party, and then after all of that, servers are still inconsistent and players often lag out or are disconnected without warning. These are only the technical problems. In game, characters that are blatantly over powered are not balanced properly and when the mid season patch rolls around to change the meta again, these characters are often untouched with others receiving little needed nerfs to their kits, further limiting the pool of heroes able to be viably chosen. Games are almost never close, they are complete steamrolls due to the poor matchmaking and often players will queue up and be thrown into a game high above their elo that they have absolutely no chance of participating in, let alone winning. In a Masters and Diamond lobby, there are many times where I've seen Gold and Platinum players, where as if I were to attempt to queue with a friend of that rank, the rank disparity would be too wide to be able to queue for a ranked game. It shouldn't be possible for this to happen but it does fairly often and it has not been fixed even in the Season 4 patch. Every game feels like a gamble, and with little solo carry potential, given the team based nature of the game, it is almost impossible to climb in solo queue without immense luck. After ending Season 2 at the Diamond 2 rank, ranking up to that division the night before the new season, I logged on the next day to see my rank at Gold 3. I spent the majority of the season solo queuing, as friends accounts were not dropped as low as mine, despite similar games played and consistency in play. After climbing to Grandmaster 4 during Season 3 and ending in Masters, I questioned what the reason was for my rank being lowered in the first place. There is no answer though, there never is from Blizzard, they focus their efforts on cosmetics, that were formerly free but now are behind a paywall, as well as new maps for you to lose your mental on. The core problems with the game are never addressed. A patch will release boasting a fairly decent change, only to absolutely break another part of the game without even attempting to change that system. A hero may not be working correctly, so a small tweak is made to change it to the way it was intended, but in the meantime, Blizzard forgot to mention that now you will be playing on higher ping servers for some reason and you can barely matchmake in your region.

    This game is incredible, addictive, I play it since day one and the 5v5 formula is so much better than 6v6, suppression of lootboxes is perfect, I prefer way more a battlepass style, if I want to retribute the studio by buying items, I want to know what I pay for.

    Addition: this review was made before I knew that PvE was cancelled - at least, the way it should be. Also, it's not right to give this game a high score when the merit behind is from another game. For this reason, I'm reducing it to 3.

Deleted alot of stuff, slapped a store and a battlepass on the front of it, made it free and said "stick around, you won't miss any of that when ya see the PVE Campaign with level progression coming."

    I uninstalled it and went out of my way to make an account on here just to make this review. Don't play games made by this company. They will find a way to legally rob you, let their greed and failure end as their legacy to the gaming community.

    The company behind Overwatch 2 has taken all the heart and soul of the original Overwatch, smashed it up and chucked it into the trash. They then proceed to replace the soul of Overwatch with pure corporate greed with the inclusion of an overpriced cash shop and crappy battle pass.

    Unfortunately, OW2 lacks substantial new content and instead presents downgrades and unfulfilled promises.
    The company behind Overwatch 2 has taken all the heart and soul of the original Overwatch, smashed it up and chucked it into the trash. They then proceed to replace the soul of Overwatch with pure corporate greed with the inclusion of an overpriced cash shop and crappy battle pass.

    Unfortunately, OW2 lacks substantial new content and instead presents downgrades and unfulfilled promises. We have lost features like the 'on-fire' system, end-of-game cards, rank icons, portraits, and a fair progression system. Furthermore, the game is plagued with numerous bugs, with each patch introducing new game-breaking issues. Blizzard claims to fix the matchmaking regularly, but as a Diamond player, I have still been matched with top 100 players in Europe.

    Don't get me wrong, the new additions in Overwatch 2 are impressive. I appreciate the introduction of new heroes, maps, and game modes. However, these features should not come at the cost of compromising the integrity of the game by removing progression systems and other game modes.

    One aspect I was genuinely excited about was the introduction of PvE game modes. The idea of leveling up heroes and battling robots across different locations in the world held great potential, especially considering Blizzard's expertise with games like WoW and Diablo.

    Unfortunately, they decided to cancel the primary selling point of the "2" and instead divide the remaining campaign content into a battle pass. This demonstrates a severe disconnect between the company and its fans. I urge anyone who shares this sentiment to refrain from supporting the game.

    Regrettably, there will always be naive players who continue to purchase $20 skins, enabling this exploitative practice to thrive. As long as this continues, for me, there is no hope for the future of this franchise.

    All of the negative comments and zero-rated reviews are completely valid if you played Overwatch 1.

    Firstly, the matchmaker is a disaster. In many matches the skill variance it accepts (in order to speed up the queues) is so wide that you could have middle to low ranked players in the same match as grandmasters, and this leads to fast and unfair one-sided stompfests. Add to this the
    All of the negative comments and zero-rated reviews are completely valid if you played Overwatch 1.

    Firstly, the matchmaker is a disaster. In many matches the skill variance it accepts (in order to speed up the queues) is so wide that you could have middle to low ranked players in the same match as grandmasters, and this leads to fast and unfair one-sided stompfests. Add to this the players who give up early when they see they will get stomped, (by leaving, throwing, afking) and easily 50% of matches are not competitive or fair in some way, even if you are winning. Of the remaining 50%, expect frustrating gameplay because now there is only one tank, so all sort of counterplay and interesting things are removed once your lone tank dies. Some heroes are overtuned because there is just one tank to defend, such as how snipers are gods now and debuffers too strong against just 1 tank. Add to this the smurfs who are taking advantage of all this and destroying lower ranks and it's just so hard to find a fair, balanced, compelling match where you truly said "wow what a GG!". Match quality is just so bad that you can go 10 matches before truly saying that was a fun gameplay experience.

    Secondly, the monetization is just so offensive. In OW1, after buying the game, you could earn your skins and voice lines and other stuff randomly by playing and by participating in events. And smurfs had to rebuy the game in order to get a fresh start. In OW2, you have to pay for the battle pass EACH SEASON if you want to earn skins and cosmetics at a reasonable rate (some stuff is locked completely behind the battle passes). But now that the game is free-to-play, it's completely free for smurfs to create unlimited multiple accounts over and over again to keep stomping lower ranked players to oblivion. It's completely backwards. Let's not even begin about the deep issues with in-game shop where you pay for old or revamped skins, or very overpriced new ones.

    Thirdly, the entire reason for creating Overwatch 2 and sunsetting Overwatch 1 was to introduce a whole PvE structure, but that recently has been canceled entirely. The game will likely only have the occasional PvE mission in Arcade which we used to have. They're fun but that hardly qualifies as the huge PvE game we were promised. And one mode they released recently called Starwatch was just as awful respawn simulator for the team on offense, literally. While this issue is invisible to new players, it just shows how Blizzard pulled the rug from under existing players to focus on the more lucrative monetization (it was said that was part of the decision - that PvE won't make money like the shop for PvP does).

    If you're new, it's likely you'll be steamrolled repeatedly by smurfs in most of your matches. By the time you get to middle ranks, there will be lots of leavers and throwers who give up at the first sign of trouble. At high ranks you need to be in a group or you'll get crushed by organized hit squads of hardcore players queueing together. In Quick Play and Arcade modes where ranks are much broader in matchmaking, your match outcome is pretty much decided at setup by the matchmaker based on who has the new players vs who has the experienced players.

    I'm giving this game a 2 just to be fair, as it is a smooth running game with great graphics, good maps and cool heroes, and because someone who is new to the game might have some fun for a while. However, it is a huge step down from Overwatch 1 in terms of features, match quality and overall "fun" factor. And every season (each is about 7 weeks) the bad parts about it somehow just keep getting much worse. Match quality is so bad right now and queue times are going up for middle ranks, especially in the arcade, as many players are leaving.

    If you're new, give it a try - it's free. But I am confident you'll grow out of it after a couple of weeks and pick one of the many other games that are hot right now. If you're returning from OW1, you will be greatly disappointed in OW2.

Unfortunately, my initial impressions were far from stellar, as the game seems to have stumbled into several pitfalls that have left me disappointed and longing for the glory days of its predecessor.

    One glaring issue that's hard to ignore is the ongoing balancing problem that seems to have carried over from the first game. While Overwatch 1 had its share of character imbalances, I had hoped that Overwatch 2 would take this opportunity to fine-tune the gameplay experience. Instead, I've encountered an even more frustrating cycle of overpowered heroes dominating matches and a lack of meaningful adjustments to address these problems. The lack of progress on this front is both baffling and frustrating, and it significantly detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    Microtransactions and the implementation of a battle pass system are two more bitter pills to swallow in Overwatch 2. The game's transition towards a more aggressive microtransaction model, with an emphasis on cosmetic items locked behind paywalls, feels like a betrayal of the player base that made the original game a hit. The battle pass system, a cash grab that has become all too common in modern gaming, feels like a thinly veiled attempt to extract more money from players for content that should be included in the base game.

    What makes these monetization strategies particularly infuriating is the stark contrast to the more consumer-friendly approach of Overwatch 1. In the original game, cosmetic items were obtainable through gameplay, and the progression system felt rewarding and fair. The shift towards squeezing players for every last penny has tarnished the reputation of a franchise that once prided itself on its commitment to players.

    Speaking of Overwatch 1, the inevitable comparison between the two games is hard to avoid. It's clear that Overwatch 2 has lost some of the magic that made the original a sensation. The sense of balance, camaraderie, and excitement that defined the first game is sorely missing. Overwatch 1 managed to strike a delicate equilibrium between hero abilities and team dynamics, creating a gameplay experience that was both strategic and exhilarating. Overwatch 2, on the other hand, seems to have veered off course, sacrificing the essence of what made its predecessor great.

    i bought overwatch when it first came out. it was fun and enjoyable. i was excited for overwatch 2, but it seems that all the things that hooked me in tbr first one is just gone.

    they replaced my purchase of overwatch with a worse version of a free to play game.

    what a pity

    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.
