Overwatch

Overwatch 2 plays brilliantly. It’s a wonderful shooter full of depth, with unique heroes to master, maps to learn, and hours of your life to lose all over again.

Overwatch 2 is a worthy successor to the original Overwatch that doesn’t so much reinvent the wheel as it does improve upon it. While it does have its issues, the core gameplay and improved UI make for a fun and fully realized sequel.

Overwatch 2 simply exists in an awkward transition phase between the game it was and the game it wants to be. It's not a revolution by any stretch, at least not how the original game was, but it's still Overwatch and that means it's still a ton of fun.

It’s difficult to look back on a game like Overwatch and wonder what it could’ve been if it had been delayed, and released as a complete, full-priced package with none of the extras: no feel-bad Battle Passes, with the story mode and Hero Missions available to all from the get-go. It’s not all doom and gloom of course; I’ve been in denial about the change in direction for PvP, but tens of hours of playtime have convinced me that the new 5v5 format will lead to more exciting experiences going forward. For my fellow lore and character enthusiasts, well, there’s always next year.

This is, really, a relaunch dressed up as a sequel, although the game remains as fun as ever. Some balancing issues and, of course, a questionable progression system hinder the potential of Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2 is as fun and fast-paced as the original game, but its free-to-play structure sullies the experience a bit.

While Overwatch 2 adds a host of heroes and features to Blizzard’s iconic FPS game, its PvP feels more like a simple content update than a full blown sequel.

Um dos momentos mais felizes da minha vida foi quando comprei esse jogo. Eu simplesmente me apaixonei pelos personagens, e acho que foi o jogo que mais joguei em toda a minha vida. Embora o 2 tenha trago muitas decepções, fico feliz em saber que estão melhorando.

Its a great game. They keep adding characters, maps, modes etc. But! They need to listen to their community more. There are alot of issues, like big unnecessary nerfs and server issues and so much more. If you try ranked matches multiple times with those server issues you WILL get Banned for atleast 1 to 8 seasons or more. One thing that's also annoying is that they sometimes forget some of their characters exist, which means they are most likely not getting any skins.

It feels like every time I log on there's a new tank with six thousand health or a DPS with 7 billion damage. at some point they're going to run out of space for heroes to fit at the bottom of the screen.

3 years into this game and blizzard still can’t release a new hero without them being comically broken at launch. Only give skins to certain hero’s. The support roster end up doing a comical more amount of damage than half the dps roster could ever achieve. The one thing they said they wanted to remove was any kind of stun ability like Mei’s freeze ability from the first game only for them to bring it back and add more stun or hinder abilities than ever before. PvE is still never being added. Blizzards idea of new content is more skins for Kiriko, and a **** new game mode you’ll play once and never again. The community is awful from ranks gold to diamond, console lobbies can have people using mouse and keyboard. Custom games are very limiting and overwatch’s fanbase uses it to create an SA simulator which is just absolutely disgusting. They added hero bans and map voting because they can’t balance the game and 60% of maps are just hot garbage. One of the modes clash isn’t in comp and honestly in my opinion it’s miles better than push yet that still remains in comp. 5v5 is honestly the worst choice blizzard could’ve ever made, I’m convinced they only did it to make it seem like overwatch 2 is vastly different to overwatch 1. I mentioned how they didn’t add the PvE earlier and that’s only partly true because they did add 3 missions like how they did with the archive missions in overwatch 1 except these ones cost £12.99 which is absolutely ridiculous. The pricing in general for skins and bundles is classic blizzard where some skins/bundles will end up being the same price as other better games. In fact here’s a list of games you could buy instead of the Le sserafim mega bundle which roughly translates to £50-60; both hollow knight games, Persona 5, The orange box, Red dead redemption 2, Elden ring, final fantasy 7-10, Kingdom hearts collection, Spiderman, Dark souls 1+2, All **** versions of Skyrim, Metal gear solid Delta, hell when the entire yakuza series is on sale it’s cheaper than this bundle. The only pros of actually playing this horrendously made sequel to one of the best shooters in 2016 is that it retains the variety between play styles (even if some are just pointless because of certain supports) and the characters themselves are all diverse and there’ll definitely be quite a few you’ll like based off their lore. But that can’t save overwatch 2 from being one of the most awful and unbalanced games made by a developer that used to make games of the highest quality.

Amazing game in many respects.. I've played for 3000+ hours and I'm a top 500 support player: I think with a solid update, it'd genuinely get a 10/10 from me. The depth in terms of the hero interactions is unlike any game. ... but it would require: 1. Fixing the servers. 30% of games are Singapore (I live in Australia) and you have a constant 150 ping. 2. Remove or rework the terrible heroes in the game (i.e. moira, mauga, orisa, sombra) where you don't require a good understanding of the game to play them for various reasons (i.e. easy escapes and insane survivability through using broken abilities).
