From playing with friends to a money cow, (personal opinion after first week of playing)
s-52046-5041613 October 2022
It is more of the same, but different.

One of the big selling points of Overwatch have been playing with friends, and making new ones. They have now removed this function completely so you have to find people while playing, which would be fine if everything was working. But I does not. Not only is it hard to find someone that actually talks, but to also find someone in the same skill rating range and that actually tries their best.

In addition, a lot of people are being thrown around in the skill rating in places they should not be and with the changes to competitive they are stuck there for way to long ruining the experience of other players.

This is some of the thing I personally noticed and wanted to highlight in the hopes of this getting better over time. There are also a lot of other problems with the game, but luckily it seams like they are continually working on improving the gaming experience.

Could be better
charleykarwowski16 October 2022
The game itself is alright. However, the game is essentially the exact same thing. Almost immediately we're notified that we won't have the promised pve campaign until 2023, additionally there have been several glitches. It got so bad to the point where one character has been removed from the game! Addition There are glitches where I would get play of the game by doing absolutely nothing... literally. Although I did not like it, they removed the loot box system and replaced it with a shop. The only way to collect free currency is the weekly challenges which only rewards a maximum of 60 coins. If I correctly recalled playing matches rewarded players with 10 coins. It wasn't much but it definitely beats this joke of a system.

This game honestly doesn't feel like a sequel to Overwatch. It feels far more like a reboot. While I have enjoyed some aspects of it all in all this has certainly been a let down for me.

Overwatch 2 reviews
jlimanawong18 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Overwatch 2 is an FPS mix with MOBA games. In-game there has 5 major modes. There are Unranked, Competitive, Arcade, Custom Games, and Training modes. The first mode is Unranked will be a mode for new players to play The game is divided into heroes chosen from 5 characters to fight with 5 other heroes, with each hero having different abilities. Players are able to change heroes during the game which is different from other MOBA games. To play, there will be three that are to push the car. Pushing the car will be divided into 2 sides, that is, the push side and the side that prevents the car. Another mode is pushing the robot, this mode has both players competing for a single robot in order to push the robot farther than the opposite side. And the last form that is capturing the point, players on both sides must complete 100% of the point in order to win the game, whoever captures the point 2 rounds before that side wins. Overall, Unranked mode It's a mode that I don't enjoy playing because each player only focuses on inflicting damage on the opponent. The second mode is Competitive, This mode is my favorite to play with my friends. In this mode, the format is the same as in the previous mode. It's just that when pushing the car, when the game is over, you have to switch sides to the car or push the car. This mode is more fun than the first mode as many players start playing after each other. But the pair memory system is pretty bad. Sometimes when playing, the game server suddenly shuts down and the game being played becomes void. Custom Game mode this mode will be created mostly by players. The purpose of this mode is to play while waiting for the room. Because this mode has no definite format, players can change the game within this mode. And the last mode, that is, Practice mode is a mode that allows players to get acquainted with new characters or want to try tricks on the characters that the player will play. Overall, this game is quite fun to play with friends. Suitable for not knowing what game to play and coming to play this game. But the update of this game is quite slow, making it easy for players like me to get bored. Then updating the character patch is quite confusing to the players why. That being said, this game can be fun to play but gets bored quickly. But the game itself is less impressive than the first Overwatch. Because the gameplay is still the same, just reduced from 6 players to 5 people only. As for skins, the first part also has a loot box system, which in this game has been cut out, allowing players to only top up if players want skins. And that update is still slow as before. Overall, this game is more suitable for killing time for me.

Overwatch should've stayed as just Overwatch!
jprice-3825312 July 2023
When I say that Overwatch should've stayed as Overwatch, it means they didn't have to make a complete, separate game! Alllll the things they had in this 2nd one, could've literally been added in the 1st one. That's all they had to do. Overwatch 2 is NOTHING different nor special in the slightest. Except for a campaign, but that's all you get really. WHY in their mind would they completely get rid of the 1st one?! Now nobody can go back to that game anymore. It just doesn't make sense. "Hey guys we gotta sequel now, but let's get rid of the 1st one for good measure." Like what??? Leveling up is not the same as it was, in fact you're not even leveling up at all. It feels empty. It feels like after you play so many hours, you don't feel accomplished, you don't feel like you're progressing, you don't feel like you're moving up in the ranks. Plus, loot boxes don't exist anymore. Now you have to buy coins if you want anything. Plus this game is FREE now? It's so stupid. In Overwatch, you actually felt like you had a place in the game. You felt like you were getting somewhere. You were proud of how far you came to reach your first bronze, silver, gold, platinum or diamond. You competed with your friends. You felt great about receiving loot boxes to see if you would get coins or skins or anything else. Overwatch is dead....it has been dead. And it unfortunately will never come back to the way it originally was. Let's be real here, 2016-2019 was where it WAS REALLY AT.

A downgrade
Crispynapkin31 July 2023
I know 3 stars is low and I still enjoy the game, but recently it just feels like a chore to play the game. It feels like a ranked game even in quick play. The event (mischief & magic) was fun at first but also it's pretty much to prop Hunt. As well, the event rewards were just lazy it was a re-skin, sprays, and voice lines. As well they didn't even fully change the colors of Ana's arms which I know is not a big deal, but just shows the overall laziness. In Overwatch 2 you're not able to get certain skins without a battle pass, paying about $20-$10 for a skin, or spending a ridiculous amount of time to get "currency". I would have gone with a lower rating as well, but they do have fun characters and abilities. But my score is so low is because they had something decent and made it worse.

Great way to pass time.
yonahgoldberg23 November 2022
As a newcomer to overwatch, I really enjoyed it. The base game is quite simple, and not hard to get into. The amount of unique characters in this game is impressive, with almost all of the characters being fun to play as, ass well as a incredible amount of backstop and lore for each of then. The colourful world designe, as well as the cheerfull music in the game really helps bringing this game to life. Yes, the game has its fair share of bugs, not the best queues, and a questionable battle pass, but most of these can be overlooked on regard to how fun the game can be. I highly recommend giving this game a shot. It can be quite a nice refresher compared to other multiplayer shooters we today. Be sure to try the game with a friend.

A complete joke
kurunjangscm18 May 2023
Recently they announced that their pve game mode which was literally the entire trailer for the game was cancelled and not going to be developed and the current meta is just apoling to play against. Meaning skill can be part usefulness still has little effects against broken characters and secondly The state the their competitive ranks is disgraceful you can win all 5 games and stay the same rank but loose 1 game and go down by 2, so in my opinion with 500+ hours (mostly ow1) don't get this game it will save you alot of time and money because if you plan on buying skins get ready to remove an arm and a leg.

Why you shouldn't play Overwatch 2
Mischko8 March 2023
Overwatch 2 is like a 1.1 patch. They remove content, delaying content. PvP and the new battle pass system are the main focus.

In the past they announced PvE and many features during trailers that are not even there.

Monetarization is a completely scam, you cannot get any good skins during grinding, because it takes more than a half year to play consistently. They fake discounts and uses all - sadly - modern standards of grabbing money.

But people are still playing and invest money, poor state of gaming.

Genji too overpowered
xyeresic24 April 2023
My favorite character is the reaper guy. He is very powerfull. Special move, honestly is one of the best in the game and so he comes equipped with these two revolvers and only takes about 3 or 4 shots to actually execute a kill so it comes really in handy specially when you come from the side.

Now about Genji, I know his shuriken does no damage but like why does he even have 24 ammo, game is literally unplayable with the state of Genji currently please nerf.

Also Roadhogs hook is one of the hardest skills to master... you have to predict speed trajectory momentum and velocity aswell as healing yourself and tanking... so why remove his oneshot ability?? These game balances make no sense!

The worst game I've ever played
theodoreawesome9 December 2023
No game has made me want to put a hole in my tv as much as this game. I consistently want to kill myself. It hasn't been fun since 2016. Blizzard is one of the worst developers of all time as well. Since the release of overwatch 2 they have made the game worse with every update. Sombra is the biggest a$$hole and can go fvck herself as well as symmetra and zarya. They like to buff these annoying characters that are already way better than the others and nerf genii who has already been nerfed into the dirt. They also added sh!itty battle pass and store so that you have to pay $20 to get 1 skin for 1 character when there are a lot more.
