Overwatch 2

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
