Junker Queen is the new Tank with a boomeranging Jagged Blade knife that can be thrown, and then called back, hitting folks on the way out and back in. The new heroes are also nice and seem to fit right into the cast. It will still arguably come down to skill and composition, but I felt like team fights went far faster in 5v5 comp. I didn’t really feel any horrible degree of missing strategy or success from not having a sixth player, but other more hardcore players might feel it lacking, especially when wipes are more feasible with only five enemies on the field. It’s worth noting that roles are split between Tank, Attacker, and Support, and some roles are limited. I think varying mileage will also be a thing for the 5v5 comp. Unfortunately, she loses her Protective Barrier and Halt! abilities for this, so your mileage may vary if you favored her original kit. For instance, nearly all of Orisa’s kit has been reworked to revolve around an energy javelin which can be thrown to attack and pin foes or spun to deflect bullets and push back enemies. They did do some revamping of characters.
The heroes look great in their Overwatch 2 skins, but if you have an existing account with first game data, you’ll also bring your skins and other cosmetics over from the first game, which is a nice touch. I will say Overwatch 2’s visual refresh looks quite polished. PVE is on the way in 2023, but wasn’t available at the time of this review. Teams mix up a composition of Tanks, Supports, and Attackers and vie for an objective on the map, whether attacking or defending, all while trying to frag each other to gain dominance. All this aside, the core component of Overwatch 2 is the same as ever.
There have also been visual refreshes and rebalancing to pretty much all the existing maps and cast, and a few new heroes, maps, and modes are joining them with more to come. Moreover, there are a handful of new maps, such as those featuring the Push game mode. The 6v6 of the original game has been reduced to a 5v5. Overwatch 2 has some changes that set it apart from the original game, though I wouldn’t say those changes are numerous. While those core changes and additions may be notable to hardcore players, Overwatch 2 core gameplay just does what Overwatch did before without much of a difference, for better and for worse. Sure, I may be a bit rusty, and we may have some interesting core changes here that make things slightly different, but I feel pretty good in confirming what I felt all along when looking at Overwatch 2: It’s everything the original Overwatch had with a handful of core changes, a big content drop, and a new content schedule.

The issues were further exacerbated by a series of DDoS attacks aimed at the game's servers.I’ve played enough Overwatch to know when I’m looking at Overwatch.

Many fans have been left unable to play for long periods, stuck in queues, left without access to previously-unlocked characters and items, or locked out of the game entirely by the requirement to log-in using their mobile phones (something Blizzard later changed following a vocal backlash). Interestingly, a similar bug affected Fall Guys players earlier this year and although Mediatonic took the same line, eventually the company was forced to apologise and issue refunds to those affected.Īfter a rocky launch, Blizzard has updated fans on its progress tackling some of the various issues which have plagued Overwatch 2. Several other commenters in the thread share similar stories and the thread has almost a thousand upvotes at the time of writing. The hotfix issued on 7th October has seemingly resolved the issue, but the OP says they still haven't been refunded and "doubt they ever will be". To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
