Iโve been an overwatch player since 2016, so I say this out of love for the game.
Overwatch 2 feels stingy and has no ounce of love within it.
I would rather buy a second game for full price than have a free to play game where certain characters are locked behind a paywall. Loot boxes were fun, and there was always the certainty that you can always try next year. The battle pass takes forever to complete and no one has the time or energy to even get a character for free within said pass. The pass exclusive skins feel so bland compared to the ones we got for every event in the first game. Honestly the most unique skin as of writing this was Hanzoโs cupid skin, and that was ALSO locked behind a paywall.
Events donโt feel as fun as they used to, perhaps itโs because the team just lost what made overwatch so much fun. The halloween event was fine, however I wish there was more substance. The chatfics are fun, but it just feels so barren. Story mode is still not even a thing (which we were promised a long time ago).
The only thing that keeps me from just stopping from playing this game is that maybe, if I continued playing, the devs will change how OW2 is and make it betterโฆ
Iโm not even sure if thatโs even a possibility at this point.
At least Junkerqueen is hot.
