    a realy sad ending of an copy paste from overwatch 1, without any effort or love for the game itself
    my most positive view on overwatch 2 is: i like the 5 player gamemode more than the old one
    everything else has gone worse

    Just a reminder that OW2 cancelled the only reason it was called as "2nd entry" in the series - Single Player content.
    This moment alone deserves 0/10

    This game had so much potential I was a big fan of the first one but this game is an funny excuse of a game. the only thing they actually did in this "sequel" is they removed old features just to bring them back in a half a year and cancel every promise they made The first one was my favorite online game but this is just bad and i hate to see the game go in such a bad place because of blizzard

    Game is worse in every way possible than the first. Smaller teams, faster combat, character abilities matter less. Character changes that had to be done to try to balance smaller teams just made the characters a shell of their former self.

Remember the lootboxes? God it was fun grinding for the legendary skins, it's why people played a lot of competitive, you could practically get 2 legendary skins a week if you were a diehard grinder. In this game, grind for 8 **** months straight with no day missed else you gotta wait an extra day, and school exists people, it's gonna keep you busy. Secondly this game's balancing is the worst thing ever, they just roll the dice on a cup with a character and buff them by whatever number the dice rolls. There were many games with fair balancing and good multiplayer, like Team fortress 2 actually listened to it's fans and nerfed almost every weapon to the point where everyone can enjoy playing. Meanwhile this game's devs, they are not even trying at all. and hell the co-op missions are here but you need to spend 15 extra euros for that. The devs have no remorse and no shame, they kept saying they were excited to bring the game to us, yeah they were excited to steal our money if that makes more sense. Seriously, if this game could've had 6 years of development like TF2 had for 9 years, it would've been hot **** This game deserves a 1/10 for me, for the simple fact that it can run. Have a good day to you all.

    However, they decided to rebrand an already existent game and slapped a number 2 at the end of the title. The money hungry company switched to a f2p model and removed any chance of acquiring cosmetics through gameplay. Sure, they changed some maps, changed the team comp from 6v6 to 5v5, and changed up the rank system but It feels like a patch rather then a "new game". Then they have the audacity to charge 15$ for a PVE that was promised but never delivered.

    The best way I can describe this feeling would be when you just washed your car and then a bird took a fat smelly thick dump on your window. While the friend you were picking up comes into the car with mud all over their shoes.

    Looking at it for the gamemodes and gunplay aspect it hits the spot when needed. But due to blizzards poor management of the title. And failed and false promises it becomes hard to see what is rather then what could have been. Still enjoy the game but could be infinitely better.

    It used to be such a great game. Overwatch was truly a phenomenon. But someone got greedy and decided that sacrificing the golden goose for immediate profit would somehow not kill it. I give it a 4 out of respect for what it used to be. If you are oblivious to everything that happened, you might even enjoy it a bit.

This is a major turnoff for many players, especially those who are used to the more generous monetization system of the original Overwatch.

    Another major problem with Overwatch 2 is the lack of new content. The game only has two new modes: Push and Colosseum. Push is a new objective-based mode but very similar to the existing Escort mode. Colosseum is a 4v4 deathmatch mode, but it is not very exciting.

    The original Overwatch also had a lot of great story content, but Overwatch 2 does not have any story mode. This is a major disappointment for many fans who were looking forward to more lore and character development.

    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.
