    20$ for a skin. Unbalanced. Every Arcade mode is ruined, because everybody picks tank. Only 1 Tank is **** OW1 was much better. Seems like Blizzard needs money. R.I.P. Overwatch

    And all of this is ignoring that this isn't a sequel in the way other game sequels work. It's nothing new. They could increment the number every week and it would be just as valid.

    Играть просто не приятно. Это уже не Overwatch, а жалкая пародия на Valorant и CoD.
    Новая монетизация слишком агрессивна, пропала возможность открывать косметику просто играя, как это было в оригинальной игре. Иначе как назвать игру донатной помойкой, язык не поворачивается.

It just made tanks overpowered and put you into fast pace, aggressive play style with no choice. Every single game in open queue consists of 2 tanks AT LEAST that makes it unplayable. Role queue is a bit more comfortable to play cuz roles are simply locked. The game itself feels like a raw meat that blizzard tries to feed us. Absolutely 0 damage feedback, when u deal damage, when u receive damage, when u heal someone or being healed. I am not even considering this battle pass **** i just want the game to be good, but blizzard just spit on your face with the second version of game.

    This is awful, and another reminder that we still need legislation that mandates video game companies keep old games running    blizzard is ruining everything it touches. I've played this game since the original beta. This isn't a sequel, and this isn't Overwatch. This is the diablo immortal of OW, except the juries still out on whether people will fall for it and give the $$$ they want.

    This is awful, and another reminder that we still need legislation that mandates video game companies keep old games running or allow us to. Blizzard could have released a server & client for OW1, let us host our own servers for it if they wanted to wipe their hands of it. Such was the NORM whenever a company killed a game just a short decade ago. Instead, they're allowed to literally commit theft in all but the legal sense now.

    "it's only $20" yes, it was $20 6 years ago, and I want my game. Funnily enough, many other publishers get the message, and EVEN ELECTRONIC ARTS (EA), YEAH THEM, THEY KEEP THEIR OLD GAMES RUNNING. Simcity 2000 is playable today on the modern EA client. It's a sad day when EA overtakes blizzard, but here we are, it's happened both greed wise and 'give a hoot' wise.

    $20 for 1/1000th of what we could get for free cosmetics wise just days ago. 100x or harder or more to earn in game cosmetics. All in the name of blizzards greed. It's a sad day when lootboxes are the preferred and more reasonable option to what we have now.

    The game feels worse than OW1 at launch and OW1 before they took it down this week. It's got 1/10th the balancing, 1/10th the QOL features, 1/10th the good artwork, and somehow 10x the bugs and toxicity. 6/8 games tonight have had toxic all chat. Oh yeah, and supports are in jail now everywhere outside of GM to OWL range.

    They also made the engine worse, plain and simple. You can't play the old OW1 and tell me it feels better, even given the hero changes and identical stats. I can't say exactly WHAT they did, but it feels more valorant-y. But not entirely valornt, just a weird tinge of valorant engine on the old OW1 engine.

    Oh yeah, and this indie dev couldnt keep servers up for 2 days during launch. EA did better with FIFA.

    I hope blizzard makes a lot of money from the 9 year olds stealing their parents credit card to buy skins on OW. I won't be spending a cent on the game.

    Oh yeah, and smurfing is still a thing, btw.. As if the people who could afford to buy multiple game accounts to smurf can't afford phone plans or dont have connections to people who would offer a phone #.. a class of 9th graders could've found half the errors in OW2 and i cannot believe it's been shipped like this

    OW2 is beat by everything else. It's lost its unique niche, and now it's a poor attempt at being something it never was or could be. I guess we'll see if they eventually manage to kill the very last of the visible spirit and slowly build their own valorant out of OW. Sad they couldn't just make another IP and decided to kill this one instead for their battlepass greed fix. (in case your wondering, blizzard made billions on OW lootboxes each year in profit. Problem is, they want valorant's tens of billions, and couldnt care less about us.

    Blizzard has it's sights set on the whales, and they've designed OW2 to try and bring them in and make existing players lives hard enough that they become the whales for them. Wonder if it'll convert enough people into monterary slaves for em.

    This review is long. I'm just sad they killed my game. Thousands of hours, T500 for multiple seasons and GM others, and it's just gone. Change for the sake of change. Theft for the sake of greed.

    Blizzard's abandoned this game, so personally I think someone just reverse engineer OW1 source code and publish a server/client. In the US, there's an abandoned video game exception to the DMCA. If blizzard tries to claim they didn't abandon it, they have to legally prove that the exact same game exists today per 2018 case law. Just waiting to see it published somewhere.. can't be the only one thinking about it    … Expand

    Pathetic excuse for a "sequel". It is an objectively worse version of Overwatch 1.

    What is new? - Five new heroes. Had OW1 development not been halted, there would be nine by now. - Heroes now have to be unlocked... in a game where hero choice is like rock-paper-scissors. Hope you like grinding for dozens of hours just to not be at a disadvantage (or you could just PAY MONEY). - A    Pathetic excuse for a "sequel". It is an objectively worse version of Overwatch 1.

    What is new?
    - Five new heroes. Had OW1 development not been halted, there would be nine by now.
    - Heroes now have to be unlocked... in a game where hero choice is like rock-paper-scissors. Hope you like grinding for dozens of hours just to not be at a disadvantage (or you could just PAY MONEY).
    - A premium currency, unobtainable in useable quantities by playing the game. But you can just PAY MONEY to get some.
    - Higher prices. Not only do legacy items cost more than they used to, some are now premium items! Meaning they can only be unlocked if you PAY MONEY
    - Removal of unpaid rewards for playing... y'know, because what's the point of unlocking stuff if you don't have to PAY MONEY
    - A Battle Pass! This is the only good new feature... is what I would say if this wasn't the single worst battle pass in the entire gaming industry. Zero credit returns for completing the pass (only game I know of that doesn't), new heroes are locked behind the premium tiers, and only 80 tiers (fewest tiers of any game I know of). You will have to PAY MONEY every season to remain competitive.
    - Removal of skill based matchmaking in quick-play. Don't want to try hard in competitive mode? Just get stomped by players three times your skill level in casual mode!
    - Removal of "looking for group" page. Because imagine the horror of being able to find competent, good, or fun teammates. Nope, a new set of random toxic strangers every match is the only way this game is meant to be played.
    - THE PvE MODE, THE VERY REASON THIS "SEQUEL" EXISTS! If you were thrilled for a fully fledged campaign mode like the limited archives events in OW1, boy do I have news for you! It's canceled...
    At least you can still play the legacy archives content once a year! No wait, the legacy content has been canceled too... Thanks Blizzard!

    Alright, enough of the sarcasm. Overall, this game is still fun to play (at least not competitively). The core gameplay is hardly changed from OW1, with the main difference being 5v5 instead of 6v6 teams. I won't argue that this change is better or worse, it's just slightly different. So why is this game 0/10 in my opinion? Because doing literally nothing would've been better than releasing this "sequel", as Overwatch 1 is no longer available following this game's release. It is a cash grab, and an insult to all of the players that supported this game and Blizzard through the last 7 years. This was the game that got me into PC gaming, and that game no longer exists. Only a shell of its former self.    … Expand

    Skins can now only be bought ($) or earned through the god forsaken battle pass. If they wanted to move to a battle pass, they should've done it before people got burned out on the monetization scheme. No longer will I allow myself to be guilted into playing a game out of Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO). At this moment, the game is not worth supporting because of the predatory monetization practices.

    They're also breaking the older characters (Mei, Cass, Moira) so that people are more likely to buy the new ones.

You win 7 or lose 20, in order to make any kind of progress.

    pro:
    - excellent optimization
    - excellent netcode
    cons:
    The result of six years of work on the balance is the reduction of the team by one player.
    Problem is Blizzard don't know what balance is, the gameplay is absolutely not balanced. An equal fight between two teams is a rare exception

    6 years in the making, Overwatch 2 has now permanently replaced Overwatch 1 leaving no choice but to play the sequel. Overwatch 2 was supposed to bring new experiences and a brand new player vs environment co-op campaign. This was the highlighted feature and reason for developing Overwatch 2, yet it is nowhere in sight.

This was the highlighted feature and reason for developing Overwatch 2, yet it is nowhere in sight. You may ask what else they've changed, well, they've reduced the team size from 6 vs 6 players down to 5 vs 5 making it so I can no longer play with my usual group of friends. While this in itself is outright terrible, it gets even worse. It's extremely insulting that unlocks for characters take months to grind for and many of the premium unlocks require spending as much as $20. In fact it would cost over $12,000 to buy all the current content in the game! This when you could get much of it quite easily in Overwatch 1 just by playing far far less time than you would in Overwatch 2. This entire game has been a slap in the face to long time fans of the game and an utter cash grab by Blizzard. This company has zero respect for its fans. If they did, they would have kept Overwatch 1 servers alive like many other companies do for their online games. I'm sure almost everyone given the choice would rather be playing Overwatch 1… Expand

    Blizzards greed knows no bounds. They deleted the first Overwatch, a game which over 50 million people paid money for and replaced it with this free to play garbage. Overwatch 2 is not a sequel. It is literally just a patch with many significant downgrades that I'll list below.

They deleted the first Overwatch, a game which over 50 million people paid money for and replaced it with this free to play garbage. Overwatch 2 is not a sequel. It is literally just a patch with many significant downgrades that I'll list below.

    1. Collecting cosmetics (skins, emotes, voice lines, etc) was a large and fun part of the first game. You earned them by simply playing the game. An Overwatch veteran that had been playing regularly for the past 6 years could quite literally have every cosmetic in the game without buying a single loot box. In Overwatch 2 all this content was essentially made unattainable and placed behind an egregious paywall. A single legendary skin now costs $20 or an insane 8 months of grinding. It now costs a new player over $12,000 to get every cosmetic. Blizzard has stripped the game of content that was previously "free" and is now forcing people to pay for it.

    2. Overwatch is now pay to win. While existing players get the new heroes immediately (specifically Kiriko), going forward (after Season 1), even veteran players will be subjected to the new pay to win model. New heroes will be "free", but you'll have to grind for weeks to unlock them. Meanwhile anyone that pays real money for the current battle pass will immediately unlock that season's new hero.

    3. Hit registration and mouse input is completely busted. Casuals, and especially ones without good aim on hitscan, don't seem aware of this. It was immediately obvious to me how bad the game feels because of this. There are dozens of clips already floating around demonstrating the plethora of hit reg and mouse related issues this game has.

    4. Progression system has been neutered. In Overwatch, one of the main progression systems was leveling up. You earned xp for playing the game and upon leveling up you received a random collection of cosmetics and/or currency to buy specific ones you wanted. There was no level cap, so even veterans playing since 2016 could keep attaining this. This system is straight up deleted in Overwatch 2 and you now must pay insane amounts of real money to keep collecting anything you didn't attain in the first game.

    5. Competitive ranks are hidden from the scoreboard. You can no longer see anyone's rank at a glance. This just further strips the game of any sense of progression, community, and individuality. The reasoning for this change is to combat "toxicity", but that makes zero sense considering cards were replaced with a proper scoreboard which now directly shows statistics. This is a very illogical change.

    6. New competitive rank icons are objectively a downgrade. Why fix something that wasn't broken? I feel this was changed for no other reason than the sake of change.

    7. Competitive rank and/or account level (deleted from game) is no longer displayed in the bottom left of the screen around your portrait. There is literally zero reason to also strip the players ability to see their own rank in a game. Even if you hide everyone else's. This again strips away another sense of progression from players.

    8. On fire system neutered. In Overwatch you got a cool blue flame animation behind/around your character portrait in the bottom left and on the score screen when you were doing good. This system was great. It felt rewarding and gave players a sense of how well they were doing. This system was essentially deleted from Overwatch 2 with again "toxicity" being the reasoning.

    9. Medal system removed. Once again "toxicity" is the reasoning. Removing this system strips the player of information. The medal system let you very quickly see at a glance how you were preforming. Now you have to spend longer staring at a bunch of numbers. Medals could have easily stayed in addition to the new detailed scoreboard statistics.

    10. User interface is objectively downgraded. The UI both looks and performs worse. There is a plethora of screenshot and videos out there going over the issues. Many parts of the UI are more unpleasant to look at, sloppily done (ui elements misaligned, uneven, clipping), and the biggest issue is that there were pointless animations added to UI elements that previously opened / responded instantaneously. The biggest issue is the scoreboard / screen now has an animation instead of opening instantly.

    11. Legendary skins for the new heroes are a joke. ALL of them look like the most basic recolors. There's nothing special about them at all. Blizzard actually put zero effort into the new hero skins. Not that it matters because they are essentially unattainable because they each cost $20.

    It absolutely baffles me how such a large studio can make so many terrible decisions. I feel that a lot of this stuff was likely changed as an attempt to make the game feel new.

    New management has taken over the development of this game and it's very clear. It's lost so much of its personality and what made it unique. A buggy game to launch is nothing new in the software world, so that much can be overlooked. Although, the choices they've made are clearly prioritizing money over playability.

    Overwatch 2's gameplay is the only saving grace for what is a game that forces you to spend large amounts of money for simple in-game cosmetics. The battle pass is moderately packed with detailed skins but the rest is filler that most people won't be interested in. Not to mention that you can't earn currency in the battle pass unlike other free to play games like fortnite and apex.

The game could've been a big update and just merged into the existing Overwatch 1 like what fornite did with chapter 2 which brang graphical and gameplay improvements. Although the removal of loot boxes would be liked by some, because it is a form of gambling, you didn't have to buy it and I much prefer it to actually paying for skins.… 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.
