Overwatch 2

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.

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.

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.
