It’s a great game if you haven’t played the original.

Id say like an 8/10 so far.
Significant improvement over OW1, which was a 3/10 at the end of its lifespan.

2/10 --already uninstalled.
-Servers suck
-Worst MM issues than OW1. Today I went 2-22. Why? Almost every game I had crap DPS that either threw or refuse to flex. Now, I can’t blame all 22 losses JUST on DPS but i’d say at least 16-18 of them were DPS issues.
-Toxicity and hacking still prominent. Today I played comp and in 3 different matches the some aimbotter played even when he was mass reported.
- Just not fun anymore and I got frustrated from everything listed above.
I blame myself because I thought it would be a better game but it wasn’t.

Pretty fun so far.
I quit when Blizzard basically said “yeah, we’re gunna work on OW2 and not update OW1 anymore”, so it’s been a while since I played.
The shift to 5v5 and subsequent buffs to tanks makes games feel a lot more varied and makes both DPS and Healers feel better since you’re not spending half the game dealing with layered defensives.
2 CP is no more. Push the robot is a pretty cool gamemode so far.
Scoreboard is welcome. Sure some people get singled out, but it’s reduced the blame game in losing matches more than it’s increased it, so net positive.
Role passives are a pretty great idea. They solve core issues some classes had in OW1 (Healers being kinda tickled to death if the other healer wasn’t paying attention or not playing a passive AoE healer like Lucio/Brig) and Tanks being pinballed around.
Most of the reworks, small and large feel like overall improvements. Doomfist doesn’t just drop from the sky and instagib you with zero counterplay. You don’t get FB+FTH’d by Cassidy and Sombra actually feels useful against champs that aren’t wholly dependent on utilities, while far less oppressive to champs that are. Orisa feels like an absolute monster but is way more engaging to play with and against than her old version.
New champs are overall both very fun to play with and against.
Sojourn feels incredibly slick to play and probably the most satisfying DPS to play with without feeling frustrated when playing against someone who is really good at it.
Junker Queen is cool, probably on the weaker side but healing off melee damage makes her pretty monstrous in the middle of a fight and her ult being an anti-heal and DoT is incredibly nasty.
Kiriko is Zen for Zen players who like actually being able to heal and not instantly die the second a Genji or Tracer looks at you funny. Her teleport and wall climb lets you get some pretty interesting angles and she actually has pretty damn good range to make use of them. I have no idea how her ult works, but damn if it isn’t compelling. Cleanse is also very cool, especially with the increase (and strength) of anti-healing due to reduced shields + JQ.
Naturally there’s design issues. You don’t make that many huge changes to a game (and champs) for there not to be. Less CC and Shields come with their downsides, namely the reduced counterplay to Flankers and Snipers. I think most of those can be solved with tuning. The Widowmaker problem will always exist so long as the hero is designed around hitscan one-shots so good luck with that one.
Tuning. Haven’t played enough for the cracks to be really felt. Some obvious ones like Orisa/Zarya probably being stronger than they should be and JQ being slightly weaker than she should be, and Doomfist basically not being a real champ.
Server stability has been pretty mediocre. I only get OCE servers every other game or so (I guess the others are either NA or Asian servers? I get about 170 ping) and naturally the launch was a mess, but that’s to be expected when you get DDOS’d I guess.
Monetization feels pretty bad. Normally I’m much more in favour of straight up buying stuff instead of loot boxes, but OW1 lootboxes were pretty generous to the point where I was at like 90% of most champs collections (including the bulk of seasonal legendaries and enough currencies to fill out whatever I was missing) without spending. But can’t really expect a F2P game to be better monetized than a P2P game so whatever.
Overall? Solid 7.5/10. Still very much in the honeymoon period, but it’ll tide me over until at least the new WoW expansion drops.

The game is gonna seem great to the people who didn’t spend 60$ on overwatch 1 as I have debated with friends who owned the game and didn’t own the game and are now playing overwatch 2 as a free player. Blizzard really screwed over overwatch 1 players. Upon launching overwatch 2 the first thing people are gonna see is their level is gone their level banner is gone. And the only way to see it is in your social where it is frozen forever. But you can spend 10 dollars on the battle pass and watch those levels go up how fun… another thing they get rid of is the loot boxes for being " a way to gamble" which is bull cause its seen in multiple games. Like rainbow six siege in alpha packs. The reason blizzard did away with it because they couldn’t make money off of loot boxes anymore cause it would get the game banned in some areas. The ranked system is completely wack right now due to bugs. There launch day was filled with constant disconnects and insanely long queue times and once you got in you got greeted with all your characters being locked. If there was any way a company could show they don’t care about their customers this is it. They are selling legendary skins for 20 usd in the shops outrageous that’s for one skin. You use to be able to open a loot box for free and get the same skin. This game no longer feels like overwatch it feels like a sad pathetic remake. It literally feels like a paladins.

The game is not what it was before, as soon the put it free the game is completely unbalanced, not the characters but the players, before I between win and lose it was 50% each now my team just lose all the time, I play the game to entertain myself, and it’s not fair the system put me to play with 15yo kids that spends all day playing and are addict to it… I’ve played all the last 6 seasons, but today, taking advantage of the fact that the season is about to end I took the decision to uninstall this game and play something where I can enjoy and not be frustrated all the time.

Here is a list of things this game and its developers prevent their players from doing:

If you are thinking about playing this game, I beg of you to not do that. If you are thinking of spending a dollar on this game, HOLY **** DON’T DO THAT.
Go play a different game, this one sucks.

Matchmaking -3/10
Servers 9/10
Monetization 7/10

Overwatch lets me forget what kind of issues games usually have.
And highlights Problems many other games don’t even get to show because they can’t even last that long.
It feels borderline like a single player game thats how well its running.
Its a bit sad to see where it came from but there isn’t much competition in my eyes.
Totally garbage. 2/10. Its horrendous monetzation, bad patches every season. Buffs on heroes that dont need it and no nerfs to the heroes that need it, lots of cheaters. The new heroes are bad designs and boring gameplay mechanics.
OW1 is 9/10 easy! What did happen with my favorite MP game with OW1, now OW2 its the worst I have ever played
Gameplay - 10
Monetization - 0
Community - 
Gameplay- 10/10
Monetization- Indifferent… you don’t have to pay money to play it and there’s no pay to win aspects so 10/10 I guess?
Community- As Baja said… but there are a handful of decent players out there. So maybe 5/10
A thread from 2022? Ok, sure:
From a casual standpoint: 5/10
From a competitive standpoint: 6/10
3/10.
The MM try hard to give only one sided games, during while you are bored crushing poor opponents or bored afking in spawn. The moment you try to left you are punished to not play.
Basically it help you try other games ! So i it deserve 3 at least.
