Overwatch 2

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.

Just your average Overwatch 1 enjoyer who genuinely enjoyed playing this game before they switched to Overwatch 2. They followed the trend and added a battle pass. REALLY guys. Stop with this. It's every damn game now. Other than that, Overwatch 2 also prevented people from opening any leftover boxes they had after the switch, and that sucks. The game is ALL about "money money money" instead of having an enjoyable game to play. RIP Overwatch. Their new playable characters are also mostly garbage, aside for maybe Kiriko, but even if one new one is fun to play, there's just so much bad that makes it just SAD to play now. It'll always feel like a shadow of its former self.

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.

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.

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.
