    Playing Overwatch 1 and 2. I have around 800 hours in this game. I made an account just to tell you why you shouldn't play Overwatch 2. The promised pve, storylines, co-op for 3 years.

    Blizzard and the Devs found a way to disappoint me even with low expectations. The game is pointless and now we don't even get PVE. I'm disappointed and a little sad to be honest and will no longer be playing.

    Overwatch 2 is a scam. A trojan horse designed to transition to a free-to-play microtransaction model and screw Overwatch players.

    Was waiting the PVE Content to review it, cant judge OW2 only based on the PVP part... But they cancelled it so no need to wait for it....
    The game is worse than Overwatch, more bugs, less fun, etc. 6v6 changed to 5v5 is really gimmicky. Players are not rewarded properly and need to pay to have something... No more Account level with cool level up effect. UI/UX from OW 1 was better and

Loot box was not a good system but at least it gave the dopamine unlike Battle pass levels....
    AND Hardcore players can't keep their Battle pass like in Fortnite... Should be renamed Overfail...

    I have never seen a game be run into the ground so badly with poor decision making by developers. Quit at the start of the year and have not looked back. I have infinitely more fun on every other game I have tried in that span of time. Overwatch 2 is a hollow shell of a once great game. Do yourself a favor and uninstall. Play literally anything else. Go ride a bike as a matter of fact.

Some very basic quality of life improvements that have been in games such as TF2 since forever are still missing (looking at you customizable skin loadouts, I want to have a "Halloween" & "Christmas" custom loadout on every character just like I do in TF2). The game plays fine mostly, but it's hard to overlook the lack of improvements in "Overwatch 2". The whole thing feels like a huge disappointment. Everyone else will talk about how bad the new monetization is, you don't need me repeating it. Overall it sucks and if this game's monetization doesn't improve I'll be out & have completely uninstalled the Bnet launcher before the new year. Overwatch was the last Blizzard game I had installed.

    In summation, Overwatch 2 feels like an update, and a bad one at that.

    At it's core it's the same game except some removed game modes, one add mode and competitive being changed from a 6v6 to a 5v5 without properly rebalancing for it. The planned story mode was a bait and switch lie with what little pve story stuff coming likely (speculated) to be just what they have been doing before, only out for anniversary and not available year round.

    There has been no real improvements since launch. The progression's emphasis on the terrible battlepass and store that is somehow WORSE than halo infinite's. Avoid at all costs.

The store is extremely greedy, and the 2000 coins I had from the pack weren't enough to buy one single legendary skin pack. They have always priced 2200 coins or so...

    Then this new game mode "push" got boring pretty fast since it's pretty difficult to do a come-back in this mode. As I played the game more and more, It felt more and more like a big patch rather than a sequel. There is no fundamental improvement in the groundwork of the game. Like, the a-d spam is still a thing, the game still over-relies on healers, old maps have the same layouts, and there is no new gameplay mechanic or a new idea or anything. The game lacks the innovation and content to deserve a "2" at the end of its name.

    Новый хэллуинский эвент вообще из себя ничего не представляет, его играть вообще нету смысла ибо получаешь беспонтовые графити и озвучку которая никому не нужна. Я думаю что и с будущими эвентами будет все точно также. Устрой так сказать сам себе праздник со слоганом "Просто задонать".

    Впрочем с большой уверенностью можно сказать, что овервотч официально умер (2016-2022) и теперь это просто донатная яма где скины которые были бесплатные сейчас платные, персонажи которые также были доступны всем также сиди и играй в игру 24/7 выполняя battle pass, и прочие другие моменты. Вернуть бы время первого овервотча, когда игру делали нормальные люди, и не банда отмываек Бобби Котика которые хотят ещё больше денег прям ещё, чтобы быть богаче Габена (хотя ему его не переплюнуть, Габен хотя бы человечнее и свои игры в такую яму не загребает как Котик).

    This is not a new game! This is a patch that ruined de original game.
    Yes it became a free-to-play, and, in my opinion, that ruined everything. There is no more grinding for skins (well unless you are willing to spend 5 years playing for 1 skin) the only way to get them is paying 20 bucks a piece.
    They force you to go through their tedious battle pass to unlock new characters at lvl 45

    Todas as estretagias que vc criou e desenvolveu durante esses anos no OW1 com seus amigos, esquece, sumiram, removeram todos os CC do jogo, escudos são inexistentes praticamente.

    Se vc for jogar de tank, tu vai ter que fazer 1000 funções diferentes, carregar/defender o objetivo, proteger os suportes, "tankar" pro time tudo isso sem escudo, boa sorte.

    Fator Teamplay não existe, aqls combos irados que tinha no OW1 não existem, a ideia é vc jogar para seu DPS e torcer pra ele matar todo mundo.

    Você só vai se divertir se jogar de Dano, e com razão, o estado lamentavel do game se da aos players de DPS choramingando durante esses 5 anos no ouvido da Blizzard, agora ta ai o resultado, só eles jogam.

    Suportes foram nerfados tbm, com a remoção de 1 tank colateralmente os suportes são nerfados, viraram alvos + faceis já que não tem um tank dedicado a proteger eles, o tempo de recarga de ult é maior já q a Blizzard teve a maldita ideia de por redução de % nos tanks, agr os sups carregam -30% a ult curando Tanks.

    But this is not the worst. It has become impossible to play the game normally - it takes 5-7 minutes to find the game and cheaters play in 90% of the games. They just run around the whole game with aimlock and don't even try to hide. Reports do not work at all, the same cheaters have been playing since the very start of "Overwatch 1.2" and no one cares about it. I spent a couple of thousand hours on the original overwatch, but I never intend to play "it" again, nor any other games from these people.

    A Regressive Sequel That Fails its Fans

    Overwatch 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved multiplayer shooter, falls disappointingly short of its predecessor. Lack of progression, disregard for its customers, and the troubling decision to withhold promised PVE content, while keeping the community in the dark.

    Regression, not Progression:
    Overwatch 2 fails to build upon the success of the original game, offering little in terms of innovation or meaningful changes (well other then new shop and battle pass). It feels more like an incremental update rather than a true sequel, lacking the necessary advancements to justify its existence.

    Zero Respect for Customers:
    The developers of Overwatch 2 have shown a concerning lack of respect for their dedicated fanbase (several times). From poor communication to a lack of substantial content, it seems as though customer satisfaction is not and never was a priority.

    Concealed Cancelation of PVE Content:
    One of the major attractions of Overwatch 2 was its promised PVE content. However, the developers knew well in advance that this feature would not be available, yet kept the community in the dark ! This deliberate omission further erodes trust and diminishes the game's credibility.

    In conclusion, Overwatch 2 fails to deliver on its promises and falls short of the expectations set by its predecessor. The lack of progression, coupled with a disregard for customer satisfaction and the concealed cancelation of PVE content, taints the game's and company's reputation even further. It is disheartening to witness a sequel that fails to live up to its potential and leaves loyal fans feeling betrayed and broken.

    1 point for the new voice lines and the mechanics. But overall this game is a bad version of OW1.
    And on top it's Pay2Win. You need to play almost 50hrs (10days straight with ~5hrs per day) to get the new hero or you can pay for it (hello little brother of Battlefront).

    2) Removal of Torbjorn and Bastion due to errors.
    3) Constant bugs, lags, crashes from the game.
    4) Monetization, which other games will envy with their ripping off. Whoever came up with the idea of ​​selling old skins for $20 should be fired after such an offer.
    5) There is no promised PVE content in this game. Because for 3 years, developers have been busy with scandals, not with game development.
    6) There is no normal progression system to support player loyalty. 60 donated currency (Skins cost 2000+, and the Battle Pass costs 1000) - this is very little.
    7) Everything that works is carried over from Overwatch 1, but the differences for old players are not very obvious (No! Changing the time of day on some maps will not update them).
    Bottom line: At the moment, the game deserves the lowest ratings. The developers could not meet the expectations of the players voiced at the presentation, could not organize a normal launch of the product, could not create a normal balanced monetization.

Who's surprised?) 5v5 has made playing healer almost impractical, DPS are freer because most of your counters were tanks and now there's only one tank per game. And tanks are as broken as paladins in WoW PvP. Congratulations . 0!

    Greed and sloth are the main sins of Blizzard. Overwatch is an amazing game, and new modes plus team size change make it even better. But the lack of new content in "sequel" is tremendous. And after all you can no longer earn cool loot by just playing. You need to pay, and you need to pay much more than in other f2p games.

    Overwatch 2 is NOT a Sequel!

    It is basically an update and downgrade at the same time and should be called Overwatch 1.1. Pros: - One Tank less is actually better - New Maps - it is Free Cons: - Hero Characters can only be bought with Premium BattlePass and a lot of grind (New players have no other choice) - Monetization is a joke.. feels like a scam, especially for new

    It is basically an update and downgrade at the same time and should be called Overwatch 1.1.

    Pros:

    - One Tank less is actually better
    - New Maps
    - it is Free

    Cons:

    - Hero Characters can only be bought with Premium BattlePass and a lot of grind (New players have no
    other choice)
    - Monetization is a joke.. feels like a scam, especially for new players
    - Visually it looks the same
    - Promised PVE mode has not released with Overwatch "2"
    - social features like "voting for best player in your and the enemy team" were removed
    - Servers are worse
    - You have a prepaid phone number because you can't afford a phone plan? Sorry for you, but
    blizzard won't let you play this "new game"
    - many other things. Just Read all the other reviews!

    From me personally: 1/10

    Overatch "2" is like the removed first game but with some improvements and many downgrades.
    If Blizzard would've released this as an update, i would give it a 6/10.

    Downgrade from Overwatch 1, SMS protect is broken, Balance is crap, battle pass makes me like lootboxes.

    Overwatch 2 is simply a game patch masquerading as a sequel,
    a game patch that took 3 years in development, but with barely any content.

    Complete nonsense, what do you let the critics play if they rate almost 80 and the users are 1+, have you completely stopped respecting the players there?

    La falta de consistencia en nuevo contenido y pocos desafíos al jugar el juego día a día hace difícil engancharse por mucho tiempo a este juego. Aun así es un problema que se puede arreglar.
    Su gameplay sigue siendo tan fantástico como el primer juego. Aun falta el modo historia

    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.
