    Overwatch 2 probably didn’t need to be billed as a full sequel or have a number put at the end of its name. It offers more changes than the average update, but billing it as a major update to the game would have been more honest. Still, marketing is marketing and doesn’t change that there are a lot of changes here that will make Overwatch fans who haven’t played in some time want to jump back in and see what all the fuss is about. Overwatch 2 remains a fantastic shooter, and now that you can play for free, any Switch player in need of a great multiplayer shooter should absolutely check it out.

    Blizzard removed all the best parts of Overwatch 1. It takes 40-50 hours to unlock a single character, and you don’t even get basicBlizzard removed all the best parts of Overwatch 1. It takes 40-50 hours to unlock a single character, and you don’t even get basic characters like JUNKRAT for free? If you want a single character or skin be prepared to pay $20 minimum. To top it all off, the graphics are worse, 5 players instead of 6 leads to shorter and less fun matches. Oh, and it controls worse, they messed something up in the mechanics.
    This game spits in the face of gamers and overwatch fans by showing Blizzard only cares about your money and not making the game good. Please don’t support it.
