    Can't rate a game that I can't play lmao. Maybe if the company was less greedy in the beta phase then this wouldn't have happened :)

    Only took 6 years for Blizzard to ruin a good game. Frame issues on Xbox series X, Elite 2 controller keeps crashing while playing. Game is now a shooter and not a team game. Whish OW 1 was still playable.

    Tanks and healers are basically useless while the dps get to play their own power fantasies of destroying everything on the map. The game is way too fast and the TTK is ridiculously quick. Some firefights last literally seconds. Honestly i dont know wtf blizzard were thinking but the only positive thing i can say is that the graphics are nice.

    I would have rather they just continued updating overwatch 1 instead of this **** 3 years of content we lost ao they could focus on this. This game is a slapin the face and the worst thing about it is that i cant even play OW1 anymore because this soulless abomination killed it and has possessed its corpse.

    Not even worth a play, you're better off playing Paladins as its better than this crap.    … Expand

    Go woke go broke. If they spent half as much time trying to make sure the game worked and was actually a sequel instead of a glorified map pack with more LGBT garbage focused on cartoon character sexualities maybe this game wouldn’t be a complete pile of trash. God this company is nothing what it used to be. The staff should be ashamed to work there.

    Is Blizzard drunk or on drugs? What are they thinking? Same balancing problems, same greed, heck, same game as Overwatch 1 essentially. This is Overwatch 1.2.

    1 basan valorant çocuklarının, kendileri değersiz ve boş yorumlarına takılmayın. Taş gibi oyun olmuş. Adamlar oyunu bedava yapıp üstüne metada köklü değişiklikler yaptı, bir sürü yeni şey ekledi. Bazı irili ufaklı buglar var elbette. Onlar da çözülünce rekabetçi alemine bomba gibi düşecektir.

    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.

    Ok, I did played the game after it suffered quite a DDoS attack and it is pretty fun in general...but the server queue wait time really damages it. So here's a 4 for the lack of competent Server usage.

    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 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.

    Not so much a sequel but a stripped back version of Overwatch 1
    I am unable to play the game i paid for (Overwatch 1) due to being replaced by this free to play micro transaction riddled mess. Disgraceful behaviour by Blizzard.

    (XB Series S) Input lagg in menu on resolution (default) mode. Blurry and bad antialising in game on resolution and FPS mode, on such an old game of 2016. Same gameplay since 2016. Does not deserve number 2 in the title. Battlepass content does not motivate to play.

    A downgrade to a 7 year old game.

    NOBODY likes battle passes, they're worse than loot boxes (and nobody liked loot boxes). 5 player games are worse than 6 player games. Tanks are crazy OP. Healers have the worst job possible, constantly needing to avoid flanking DPS, and have zero backup. Feels like there were zero improvements to Overwatch 1, and somehow they're calling this a sequel.

    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.
