    Overwatch 2 is the most mediocre "sequel" I've ever seen. Almost all of the content is identical to Overwatch 1, there are no visual improvements despite launching 6 years later on a new generation of consoles, and changes, in general, are minimal.

    Not to mention it has a horrible launch that requires a specific phone plan even if you bought the original (now shut down) Overwatch, and

    Not to mention it has a horrible launch that requires a specific phone plan even if you bought the original (now shut down) Overwatch, and even if you do have the "correct" phone service, it's nearly impossible to play right now because of the servers.

    At the end of the day, it's not a bad game, but it's a very, very bad sequel.

    Es el mismo Overwatch de siempre con mejoras jugables y graficas. Pero, con la economía del juego rota y prohibitiva que no justifica su inversión como juego de servicio.

    A good game marred by terrible players. This is incredibly frustrating to play. In my experience, I'm constantly matched with terrible players. I'm not good at the game by any means, I play support because my aiming is terrible but I like to think I do a good job at keeping smarter players alive. Unfortunately, that's rarely the case.

    Tanks do not protect their team and DPS constantly run

    Tanks do not protect their team and DPS constantly run far away and die, then blame supports for not going down with them. Nobody ever switches their character until the final few seconds before losing either. I don't understand why, if you're bad at a character or it's just not working, why you'd continue to play that character in a ranked match. It truly makes me want to scratch my eyes out.

    Do not play this game. It is pretty good but you won't have a good experience here. Maybe play with your friends but some of my friends are worse than playing with randoms so be picky if want a good time

    Overall should you play Overwatch 2? The answer is a resounding yes considering that the game is free. While it isn’t something that I would necessarily play for long hours into the night, it’s definitely a game that’s up my alley and it gives me something else to play with friends, which is always my number one favorite aspect in any game that I play. At the end of the day if you don’t like it, you can always uninstall it and move on to something else with no regrets whatsoever.

    At the end of the day, if you liked Overwatch, you’ll like Overwatch 2, or Overwatch 1.5 as it should probably be. If you didn’t, you won’t, and with the game playing community seemingly more toxic than ever

    Overwatch 2 is a sequel like no other. Built up from a game with a really solid foundation, it couldn't really go wrong. With such amazing attention to detail in upgrading every aspect of the game, it was definitely worth the wait. Its new free-to-play model and Battle Pass system, however, make me worry about the FPS' future, as the execution of this is questionable in certain areas.
