50,000 reviews now. It's a shame, I used to play OW1 a lot even after they stopped providing new content for it. Came to OW2 and I just couldn't be arsed to grind for characters I don't have unlocked. You need to win 35 games, and since there's a basically forced 50% winrate that means you need to play 70 games to unlock a character each time. Wanted to play Ramattra, saw he's locked, uninstalled and didn't look back. The monetization is terrible. The balance feels worse than it's ever been.
This wouldn't be such a problem if they didn't literally SHUT DOWN OVERWATCH 1 to shove people into the cash shop grind sequel
Good. They ruined the game. I paid for it and Now I need a battle pass to unlock the 2 champs? Blizzard, eat a sack of shit. Free Hong Kong. Fuck the CCP
It's currently at 10% positive reviews. I think once this chart updates in ~11.5 hrs, it will officially be the worst-reviewed steam game of all time: https://steam250.com/bottom100
I stopped playing when they did not let people pick the same heroes. Played more for the fun and the chaos. Did not care if I won as long as I was having fun but the game went the pro gamer route.
As an adult that can comfortably afford more than one game every six months, I forgot that Overwatch, Fortnite, and Apex Legends exist. The games that've released—,especially in the past 6 months—why would you even bother with BRP till?
I personally think Overwatch 2 is a great game compared to OW1, especially for going F2P and removing the loot box. I have played OW1 since 2017 but since it is a paid game, none of my friends play it and we all played Apex instead when it came out.
Fast forward to 2022, they actually removed loot box (fuck gambling) and made it F2P. I have been playing OW2 almost every day since launch. Haven't touched Apex a single time since then.
