At first glance, it doesn’t seem fair.
But then you think back.
And you realize people have been playing this game for 7+ years.
And 14% seems reasonable considering all of the problems within the game itself. Broken servers, bugs, matchmaking, netcode, absolutely abysmal hit registration (see Doomfist), removal of core features only to reintroduce them later as “new”, an absolute joke of a ranking system, balancing issues (buff one character & 3 characters are indirectly nerfed, etc), the complete lack of any coherent story (the writers are avoiding character development like the plague). Not to mention that Overwatch TWO (the sequel) is practically a downgrade in almost every regard when compared to the original title.
But I’ll still give them a point for trying to do something revolutionary.
Still, I wouldn’t give the game more than a 3 out of 10. It’s a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing game, that tries its best to be something unique. And for what it’s worth, it has somewhat accomplished that.
30%. It doesn’t really deserve anything more than that.
The 14% you see on Steam is just karma. It’s not so much a review bomb, as it is a genuine reckoning from the love-hate-love-hate relationship Overwatch has curated within its user base. The best you can honestly hope for is another 7 years of absolute perfection. We’re already at rock bottom.
