    Takes away the original game and replaces it for a cashgrab that only Diablo immoral would be proud of, skins you could get for free in lootboxes which you could also get for free by just playing are now worth $20, the battlepass is mediocre at best and it doesnt even gives you enough premium currency to buy next battlepasses like many games on the market

    Bunch of unfulfilled promises and not a sequel. You no longer can farm loot boxes which were pretty fun for me. Now you have a battle pass and it takes unreasonably long to get anything. And overall it feels like a step down in some features, it just feels more empty and stripped game so it is more like overwatch 0,6.

    Jogo é a mesma coisa do Overwatch 1, só que de graça.
    Quem comprou Overwatch 1, NÃO ganhou NADA a mais...
    A loja do jogo é horrivel, tudo caro, passe de batalha é caro, não da pra ganhar caixa jogando o jogo.
    Progressão muito ruim (battle pass).

    Gastei R$120 no Overwatch 1 para retirarem o jogo e não conseguir pegar as skins antigas.

    JOGO LIXO.

    So it's overwatch 1 but worse, blizzard only made some rebalancing on some heroes, add some map and 3 heroes and some skin and a batlle pass and a lot of bugs but they especially dared to take away a lot of features that overwatch 1 had: No more medal, no more on fire system, no more leveling system, no more way to get skins or emotes or even tag for free and so on ....

    Натуралы. Вместе. Сила.

    Игра стартанула ужасно, что отсутствие нормальных серверов, постоянные вылеты, очереди, а ради чего? Всё одно болото, только в HD. Лишь пару графических изменений и донат, в общем знакомиться с игрой перехотелось из-за технических сбоев, как в самом лаунчере баттлнета так и овера. Появился донат, который меня в принципе устраивает ибо игра стала F2P проектом

    I'm in shock in just how much of a downgrade overwatch 2 is from its predecessor, they removed everything that made overwatch unique. I could go on and on but too cut it short. The greediness of overwatch 2 is mind boggling and I'm disgusted how overwatch has performed in just this week alone!

    This game is called a sequel, but it rather is a downgrade at most.

    I mean the 5v5 is kinda fun to play: As a dps you actually feel like you can do something, but that’s about it. The role of a healer has become exponentially harder and Tank just doesn’t feel as good anymore because the synergy is missing. The large amount of barriers got replaced by other massive visual effects

    The role of a healer has become exponentially harder and Tank just doesn’t feel as good anymore because the synergy is missing.

    The large amount of barriers got replaced by other massive visual effects like kirikos ultimate or sojourns „e“ ability.

    Besides the gameplay changes there is literally nothing good in this game. Matches feel unrewarding, the ranked system is really broken as you literally meet literally all kinds of elo in the lowest rank tiers. Overall you can’t really understand how you have improved in your rank after each game, making ranked really boring and unrewarding as well. Since DPS make a lot more impact now, simple mistakes that wouldn’t really punished in ow1 will get you killed now. This isn’t really a big issue, but it’s still frustrating.

    In case of Ui and QoL features, there aren’t any of these in the game anymore. The UI is literally garbage and looks like there was no one that tested it for any longer than 5 minutes. Also many of the QoL and social features that made ow1 really rewarding and fun were removed, making this game feel really empty. There’s literally nothing after your game, you just queue up for another game.

    Also the monetization of the game is so bad and expensive. You gain such little amounts of credits that you have to grind for months to get a legendary skin.

    Ow1 was better in almost anything (You can clearly argue about the gameplay).

    To call this Overwatch 2 is a joke. It's a patch, minus content we should have recieved, minus content that should be in the game allready. With crazy predatory monetization.

    To begin with, several maps from Ow1 is missing. Numbani, Blizzard World, Hanamura, Havana and several others. Nor did they fix the Paris map (how long have they promised that?) or the Lunar Horizon Colony. They didn't even balance the new healer until launch, so Kiriko is not even playable in competitive.
    There is no single player gameplay as they promised us so many times either.

    What we did get though, is a **** cashgrab shop. And not just any shop, an absolute joke of a monetization system. Gone are the days when you could earn things by playing. Now you have to BUY stuff for your real money and not just legendary skins. Everything. Voice lines, poses. Everything is locked behind a paywall. Gone as well, are the days where you could look forward to the season shift and get some cool new skins for that season.

    I guess it would have been ok if there was some way to earn these items in game as well, but there isn't. Apart from a weekly challange that would take you 8 MONTHS to get one skin, there is nothing. Not but for you to take up your wallet and pay absurd amounts of money for a digital graphic item they slapped together in a few days.

    In OW1 you could get 2 legendary skins in a day if you were lucky and to that, add several voice lines, sprays and poses. Now they demand 20 dollars (no i'm not joking...lmao, 20 DOLLARS for ONE skin).

    What about the battlepass then? Well, not even the battlepass they could let be a reward for loyal players of the game.
    First off all, it takes an insane amount of games to level up to get anyting worth your while, most people don't have that kind of time. So why did they do this? Well, because of course, you shouldn't be awarded for actually playing the game, no.. you should be awarded for paying them with real money to NOT play the game so you can just pass the battlepass and get the items inside it anyway. Yes they really did this. It's not a joke.

    And even if you do decide to do the long grind with the battlepass you will have the exact same skins, voicelines and everything else as everyone else. How fun is that? Personalitzation - gone.

    The battlepass is of course deliberately made to be very slow to level up as well, so after you grinded for 2 months, but didn't have the time to reach all the way to the skin you would have wanted, you will pay anyway to feel that all of that grind towards the item you wanted isn't in vain.

    Basically they just pissing in the face of their players. They release a half arsed patch with a new **** monetization system to earn more cash and slap "OW 2" on it. Remove a lot of features people liked (you cannot even see which team you met last game now, or the ranks of players) and add a couple of maps and call it a day.
    It's not enough allready with the insane amount of money they've earned from Overwatch lootboxes (an insane amount) and game sales, no no... they have to sqeeze out more money from every player. Especially if you are young and don't understand the system.

    That's the new "Blizzard" for you, where every good dev that was the real Blizzard has left the company a long time ago and left is a shell with predatory monetization and greed.

    So to leave with some good things with OW2:

    The new remakes of Orisa and Bastion are pretty good. The new heroes are fun (but all of them are girls for some reason) but not because it's something special, just because they are new and we are starved of content since they just didn't give a **** about the OW community for several years.

    Releasing only three new heroes, when they haven't released anything in such a long time is weak.
    Same goes with the maps. It's fun with something new. But that should have allready been in the game a long time ago.

    Other than that there isn't much else. Everything is pretty much the same or worse. The graphic update is very meh. In my opinion several heroes even looked better before.

    So that's "Overwatch 2" for you. Pay up like a good boy, so Bobby can get a bigger Yacht, a third sportscar and a larger Bar-Mitzva party for his son.

    PS, don't let anybody fool you this has anything to do with covering costs. It doesn't. DS.

Por cierto cambian personajes como sombra o briggite para que el juego sea mas activo y frenético pero a Doomfist lo convierten en un tanque y le quitan su movilidad cuando estoy seguro de que nadie se quejaba tanto de el como de Phara que con su mecánica de volar vuelve inútiles a la gran mayoría de personajes del juego obligando al equipo a ponerse personajes como Soldado 76 o Cassidy (Todos sabemos que es Mcree) renunciando a cualquier posibilidad de poder ganarle solo con tu habilidad. En conclusion el juego es basura y solo jugamos porque teníamos buenos recuerdos de nuestra infancia solo para que nos salgan con esta mierda destinada únicamente a sacar dinero con el mínimo esfuerzo.

Now instead of pretty good system of lootboxes that made you want play game more, level up and complete challenges you get couple of skins in Bp every 60 days. Everything else for money. Oh and prices here are mad crazy, Now you need to pay 20 euros to get 1 legendary skin or you can complete week challenges that give you 60 credits for 8 months to get 2000 credits. Sounds crazy innit? Id prefer to pay money again but get the same game i used to play with new graphics, heroes, gamemods etc.
    Also, i experienced really a lot of bugs just for this week. After new 10/14 update ping jumped up to 200+ for me, my friends and other players.

К том уже разрабы убрали ту самую возможность получать бесплатно скины из лутбоксов или копить на них валюту, теперь или донать или удаляй игру нах*й. Причем даже в сравнении с старым батлфронтом 2 эта помойка в донате и его преуспела. Если там на открытие крутого героя требовалось 40 часов игры, то тут на открытие одного лишь легендарного скина теперь нужно ежедневно задротить почти год подряд. Настолько наплевательского отношения к игрокам я не видел ещё нигде, даже в мобильных играх. К тому же разработчики обещали перенести весь прогресс из первой части во вторую, а мне не перенесли абсолютно ничего. Зато открыли всех героев из оригинальной игры, которые можно было бы получить за 32 часа игры. Разрабы, вы бы хотя бы нам батл пасс бесплатно отдали, но нет же - они считают что мы должны на него сами заплатить с учётом того что вы уже и так у меня отняли игру которую я купил за 1800 рублей. 1800 рублей это открытие всех персонажей в игре, что то дороговато, не находите? Это ещё с учётом того что их можно спокойно открыть бесплатно. Никакой компенсации нет и не будет а овервоч 1 я так понял они оставлять на плаву не планируют. Короче они сделали из обычного большого обновления новою игру которой убили всю лояльность своей аудитории и подорвали свою репутацию и так уже пошатанную после скандала с диабло имортал.

However, it was so far away from my imagination. The game uses a battle pass system which is much worse, and can not say anything about it because they have done COD Warzone battle pass, and have knowledge in battle passes, which is why I was very disappointed in Overwatch 2's battle pass. The new characters they introduced were very lackluster, and the changes they made to their original cast of playable characters was very frustrating. One of the biggest controversial changes is the change of Cassidy's flash grenade into a regular grenade. The changes they implemented kept the strong characters relatively strong, such as the frustrating Genji and Hanzo, along with Reinhardt's massive and very durable shield. Expand

    И последнее 5 на 5 тоже решает, потому что теперь со всеми увеличениями хп и бустами мета танков и хилеров резко вышла в топы(хоть такое и было раньше даже на про сцене но "ента другое" ), а у китсуне есть и хил и крит в голову который впервые за всю историю овера наносит х3 урона, то есть 120 а в тело всего 40, как дзеньятта только лучше, я бы сказал что вопрос баланса в овере не правилен, его нет и не будет но все таки на закрытой бете лучше бы учли мнение игроков на счет новых персов , а так новый режим с толканием робота конечно веселый но он не многое то и меняет да и он вроде только один а о нем разрабы говорили как "ВОТ СМОТРИТЕ ЭТО ЖЕ РОБОТ И ОН ТОЛКАЕТ ПРЕПЯТСТВИЕ ОФИГЕЕЕЕТЬ", теперь нельзя выбивать контейнеры но появился боевой пропуск с разделением "для бедных" само собой, валюта исчезла да и игроки впринципе злы с того что даже старые скины нормально нельзя получить а надо "донатить и покупать или потеть" даже при условии что скин древняя фигня ничего не стоящая

    Закончу тем что близы ставили себе цель как можно меньше потратить и сделать как можно больше, им удалось только первое и то не до конца, и ведь реально игроки бы нормально ко всему отнеслись если бы людям не ссали в уши 3 года про "инновационную игру" и то как она "перевернет индустрию и новый овер", но могу сказать и положительные вещи, игра стала анимированнее, появилось несколько карт, озвучка новая хоть и не доделанная на русский до конца и стало больше рандомшотов , но последнее эт так чисто как я это все видел, близардам снова удалось испортить о себе впечатление, никогда не было и вот опять

    Somehow this game manages to be both more complicated and more boring than the previous version at the same time. It clearly was made for some specific audience; I am guessing an audience that doesn't want teamwork, doesn't want tactics, doesn't want to play support, and wants to just frag. But in the process they took away everything that was good about the last version. Too bad.

    Blizzard have done everything they could have to lazily milk the franchise for as much as they can before it fades into obscurity. It feels like a cheap cash grab, that has not been playtested, considering all the bugs, terrible game balance and basically putting a price tag on everything. Overwatch 1 did not deserve the punishment that Overwatch 2 is.

    -Removed content from OW1.
    -Added a bunch of bugs that weren't in OW1.
    -Some cosmetic items don't even work properly and they are still asking 20 bucks for it.
    -Greedy company.

    Really just the lowest effort possible to make OW2, they took 2 weeks to put BASTION back in the game, and taking much more to fix minor bugs or cosmetics.

    The core game play of Overwatch 1 is still present in its sequel, but it has given itself completely over to the monetization of cosmetics to a terrifying degree.

Cosmetics and other customizables for your characters are held hostage behind an oppressive battle pass that rewards you too little for the time you spend in the game; Especially when the time you're spending in it is not fun. The support classes have been left to the wolves, leaving them more vulnerable throughout the match, while tanks and damage classes have gotten buffs to increase their damage or mitigation.

    Besides game play, Server issues are rampant, and toxicity feels at an all time high. The potential for a great sequel to an amazing first game was close, but Overwatch 2 feels like a stripped down, less fun, more shiny Overwatch 1. The game is buggy, underdeveloped, and held hostage by the company that created it. It leaves a bitter taste in the mouth of its biggest fans, and instead relies on Twitch drops and other social media to increase its word of mouth. If this is the future of Blizzard games, it's no wonder why World of Warcraft and their other games have fallen short of the mark consistently. I would say that I remain hopeful that Blizzard could see what has happened and respond or correct some of the issues present in the game, but if their past games are any indication, they're more comfortable monetizing mediocrity than making good games anymore.

Balancing has improved but balance changes are not as common as they used to be. How did it take a week to fix bastion and torb. Honestly disgraceful. The event is so unrewarding, voices lines, spray, and battle pass XP compared to in the past when we would basically be given a chance to get the new skins for free. The game doesn't reward the player for the time they put in. Blizzard is actively attempting to silence the hate on reddit and twitter.

That's arguably the worst part about the game, but there are plenty of other atrocities as well. This used to be a game that cost $60 and then rewarded you with cosmetic items (free loot boxes) just by playing game after game. Now, you'll get absolutely nothing (or very little) from simply playing. Everything else is locked behind a paid battle pass that requires a ridiculous amount of grinding to complete, thus meaning you'll have to individually pay anywhere from $1 to $30 per cosmetic unlockable. Let that soak in a bit. Blizzard has deliberately forced out ALL low-income players (as well as people who are simply 'smart' with their money by using a cheaper cell phone carrier) by requiring them to have a cell phone plan through Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc. Why would they do that? Simple - because they only want people with a lot of disposable income to be able to play, because they're MUCH more likely to throw away hundreds to thousands of dollars on these unlockable items.

    Plus, Blizzard is a corporation that promotes sexism and thinks its okay to sexually harass women. Hard pass for me. Go F yourselves, Blizzard big-wig douche bags.

    They are also removing a lot of content: earnable/free skins and loot, maps, beloved systems and options.

    - your rank only updates every 7 matches -> very annoying, in OW 1 it would update immediately
    - your initial competitive rank is confusing: many originally gold players got placed in Bronze (why?)
    - legendary skins are a damn joke! WAY TOO expensive (20€ / bundle) and look boring Just compare legendary skins from League of Legends to Overwatch 2's legendary skins -> OW's skins are a joke
    - playing support is awful, except you're some kind of masochist -> you get flanked and targeted by enemy heroes the most but get flamed most by your team for "not healing enough"
    - too toxic community -> so much sexism, racism and hate speech in voice chat
    - often very unbalanced matches: it can easily happen that you get a 5 match losing streak in competitive -> very frustrating and unfair
    - push game mode is confusing and feels like a "jogging simulator" -> your team mates will sometimes not notice that the bot is or can be pushed and will keep fighting somewhere else on the map; when you actually capture the bot, you have to escort around the map (jogging simulator) until you reach an enemy again
    - Can't exactly tell why, but Overwatch 1 was more fun to play than Overwatch 2 is now. Maybe removing one tank, only to force slightly better queue times, was a mistake

    Unnecessarily removed features (These features shouldn't have been removed!!):
    - Why on earth did Blizzard remove Levels?? Levelling up was an awesome motivation to actually play the game! Sure, there's a battle pass now but they could have kept both the levels and a battle pass (like e.g. in Rocket League: you have both a Battle pass level and your player level there)
    - Why did Blizzard remove the end cards where you could vote for players from your or the enemy team? It was such a cool feature!
    - Why did they remove the on fire flame and made being on fire so rare? -> being on fire was always an amazing and hyped feeling in Overwatch 1!
    - Why did Blizzard remove endorsement categories? Just why? They were actually pretty good!

    This list could probably go on forever but I'm already almost at 2500 characters so I'll leave it at that for now!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Clearly the developer has no idea of what is a team game with roles and capabilities. The balance is so horrible in the sense that ultimately is all about the tank on each team in role que. In open que it simply becomes a tank fight, because tanks are just the most powerful roles now...Not to mention not all tanks are equally strong..

    As a longtime HoTS player I have had some really unbalanced comps in quick play, like 5 squishy assassins vs a balanced team with tanks, assassins and healers. But it is never as frustrating as OW2.
    OW2 is more like mixing some DotAIMBA heroes into normal DotA...

Wow... Creative) the game has no personality, no theme other than it being a very non offensive fps, the game balance is **** and the stun mechanics are super annoying and boring to play against, ultimates can't be countered and are unfun to play against (All you do is press 1 or 2 buttons to kill at least one person which is still more than enough to be a bad trade off as the negative emotion of the guy who died purely because the enemy had their meter filled up and pressed a button isn't fun to play against) it feels like gunplay is quite minimal and the game focuses too heavily on abilities as some character don't even require aim... At all, just press a button in a 70 degree circle and the enemy is beginning to die, the game feels like an ability waiting sum and characters have next to no mechanical depth, annoying '1 2' combos to instakill enemies, things like roadhog shotgun hit pretty much being able to kill every hero and even if they don't die they still are left with next to no health which pretty much implies death and those combos take low amount of skill to pull off, overall the game has low skill floors to characters yet the mechanics are confusing and the abilities are overwhelming to learn and a low skill ceiling meaning you probably get bored of each character soon enough and plus there's only so few characters in the meta. Also don't get me started on the micro transactions, I won't get too much into it but it costs a whole lot and you get very little and yes there is also a battle pass (very bad imo). Tf2 has more depth mechanical skill and gamesense and while yes, competitively, Tf2 is kind of **** it makes for a waaaaaaay better experience in general with easy to understand mechanics, relatively low skill floors and sky rocketing skill ceilings, each character has countless of little quirks that when learnt and executed correctly in the right situations can turn a whole fight around and be rewarding and fun to play as and against, it also encourages actual mechanical skill (aiming) to be involved and you can only play one character and not get bored for weeks at a time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Blizzard/Activision outdoes themselves again when it comes to screwing it up. It has long been a fact that is it’st no longer about the quality of games and players, but about MONEY OVER EVERYTHING. The biggest joke here is that Overwatch 2 was announced in the first place because they wanted to introduce an extensive "PVE" CO-OP campaign, so that was the ONLY reason to bring Overwatch 2 to life. After the announcement that the "PVE" part won't be coming out at all as it was planned, but only small sections of it, I think almost every fan realized that OW2 was actually made to sacrifice it for a much more profitable loot system. This "MOVE" has the image of Jastor Gallywix burned into my mind forever. If Blizzard were its own character, it would certainly be a far more ruthless and greedy version of Jastor Gallywix. Expand

    Overwatch 2 isn't a sequel, it's a malicious expansion. New heroes, new maps, new modes, the rest is the same.

Overwatch 1 is good, but the 'new' aspects that make it "Overwatch 2" aren't. The core changes, planned to elevate Overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2, was the addition of talent systems, PvE content and modes (potentially adding new plot and lore to the game), and long-term progression. Overwatch 2 released in a clear (yet undisclosed) 'early access' state where none of those new core changes existed. On launch OW2 had no PvE content, no talent systems, and no long-term progression. The only changes made from Overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2 were a few new heroes, a few new maps, and a new game mode or two. The other, glaring change, was the change from a pay-to-play model to a free-to-play model; meaning Overwatch 2 completely free to play, but now most of the unlockable content (almost entirely cosmetic) is pay-to-earn (ditching the previous model of earning coins for loot boxes or outright buying certain cosmetics). Now, fastforwarding almost a year since Overwatch 2's release, those core new changes that were absent on launch have been officially scrapped by the development team. That means the aspects meant to elevate Overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2 no longer exist. In a direct quote from an OW2 dev: "What this means is that we won't be delivering that dedicated hero mode, those talent trees, that long-term progression. Those things just aren't in our plans anymore.". "Overwatch 2" doesn't exist, so it gets a 0 from me. It's just Overwatch 1 with a very lackluster expansion mascarading as a sequel. 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.
