    One of the worst games ever made. Bring back the original game. This sequel is worse in every way

    Can't say it's the same game as 2016. OVERWATCH 2 SUCKS! They spoiled the masterpiece of 2016. The new maps are obnoxious, forgettable! Servers crashing at the end of the match. The game lost its originality and essence. Who plays overwatch today is because they don't have money to buy a game.

    It's clear that Blizzard has no idea what they're doing. They scrapped the whole reason they said why they were replacing Overwatch with Overwatch 2. The characters are terribly imbalanced and the monetization is terrible. Overwatch 2 is a huge waste of time.

    This game is what happens when you remove everything good about your game, go back on every promise made, remove the original (which was better), and introduced a scummy microtransaction system that actually destroys the integrity of competitive matches.... I spent thousands of hours in OW1, but I couldn't bring myself to spend more than 30 minutes in OW2

    Game is empty promises and blizzard are liars. Nothing new but a pay wall now and they just slapped a 2 on the end of the name. Lazy developers who does nothing but lie just to make money. Overwatch fans wake up and play something better and better supported.

    Blizzard is trash, now and forever. don't fall for this gotcha pos game. it's hard to justify Blizzard is a good company. for anyone who really cares coming from the first one this is 100% a slap in the face.

    This game is terribly unbalanced. Their fix to every issue seems to be to buff damage. They first announced the game with videos of co-op campaigns where you could update the character’s abilities, but have yet to release any campaign content. Every skin they release is lazy with mostly slight differences from previous skins. They also charge no less than $20 for one of these lazy skins.This game is terribly unbalanced.

It’s obvious that the only reason they “updated” to Overwatch two was to introduce a battle pass system and to charge crazy prices for skins. This game is an obvious cash-grab that blizzard puts very little effort in. VI spent a lot of time playing Overwatch 1 and was very excited when they announced the 2nd one. I’m very disappointed in this game. Expand

    Blizzard continues to disappoint. Overwatch was one of the only first-person shooters I enjoyed playing, and now I won't be playing anymore. I can not stand the scummy P2P bs and will not support companies that continue to use these business models in their games.

    Edit: I was hoping Blizzard would get their crap together, but after this PVE debacle and now they're forcing customers to

    I was hoping Blizzard would get their crap together, but after this PVE debacle and now they're forcing customers to play for any PVE content, I'm officially done with Overwatch. I've uninstalled the game from my system, and I'll be getting rid of any merchandise I've ever purchased. The sad thing is I can't even go back and play the first Overwatch. Good Job, Blizzard!

    First game was good, R.I.P.
    Second - somewhat playable, but only like any generic mobile hero shooter with awful monetization.... and there are many better games in this category already...
    They managed to ruin like 90% of good things that existed in the first game...

    After being depressed since launch if overwatch 2 I have taken the step to delete my blizzard account and you should do the same .

    What a cheap cashgrab. It ruined my memories of the first game that I invested years of my life in. Thanks for nothing.

    It’s a scam! They downgraded from the original game all under the guise that the massive pve would come save the day. It’s been canceled. All we get are overpriced skins and hero’s locked behind a paywall! It’s not worth your time! Don’t play!

    thx blizzard for making us wait 4 years for nothing. Oh, I have an idea how about putting number 2 on the game and making skins 20$ to milk the stupid player, the casuals, and the kids. ......what? an old fans and players who pay 60$ to the game and support us? screw them!!!

    the sad part is that there are players non-gamers who pay stuff like **** He simply don't give a **** that

They always ruin everything, I hoped ow did not get popular. Old player will relate

    Продолжайте дальше уродовать некогда великую игру. Продолжайте дальше уничтожать всё хорошее, что было в ваших играх, Blizzard. Хотя о чём это я, нынешняя Blizzard не имеет никакого отношения к своему наследию.

    Whoever rates this game above 0, may still not know Blizzard announce the removal of 95% of the PvE they promised.

    The game developers lied about promised and showcased content for half a year of releases. Pretty much downgraded the game in every aspect with the only addition being micro transactions.

    Just when you think it can't get any worse. No PvE Blizzard? What a joke. The promise of PvE is what people were looking forward to.

    The whole point of Overwatch 2 was that it was going to have a campaign and other new gameplay features. Unfortunately they decided that the campaign they had as a main selling point for people to get into this game has been canceled and will never see the light of day.

    That's it, they canceled PvE mode which was the main thing as why this game could be called a sequel.
    F blizzard and i'm done with supporting this company in any way possible.
    I recommend all to do the same.

    A very underwhelming game. Ever since the release it hasn't felt the same as it used to which is a good thing in some ways but in others it is terrible. it has multiple unbalanced characters and maps. it makes the game unplayable sometimes. don't recommend to anyone.

    Oh how my love of Overwatch has gone down. They ruined this game so much. Buffing characters who clearly don’t need it. Needing characters who clearly needed every advantage. My main pet peeve is when someone quits instantly, the match is ended early. What help does that give the winning team? SMH. Rest in peace Overwatch 1.

    Fun at times. Improved visuals look the part, but this sequel strays too far from the team-oriented gameplay that made the original so compelling. [Issue#21, p.96]

    Overwatch 2 has the same strengths as the first game. It's a new version of an enjoyable multiplayer shooter. But it lacks many essential things. The servers don't work well, it doesn't have a lot of new content and buying new stuff is extremely expensive. The gameplay is excellent, and the foundation is set, but there's still a long road ahead.

    It’s really difficult to even grade this game. Should it be called “Overwatch 2” at all? And how is it going to grow? Right now, it brings next to nothing to veterans but still remains a very good team shooter.
