Overwatch 2 Review

By Paul Tamburro

Overwatch 2 is a weird sequel. Game developers almost exclusively want to go bigger and better with their follow-ups, but that distinctly isn’t the cast here. Blizzard has decided to scale things back to 5 vs 5 bouts over 6 vs 6, has only included three brand new characters, and has added just a smattering of new maps. It’s a controversial move…

  • Damage-focused, fast-paced gameplay is tons of fun
  • Hero reworks are excellent
  • Kiriko is a great example of what a OW2-focused hero can bring to the table
  • Free-to-play
  • Monetization with ridiculous pricing
  • New maps are lackluster
  • Some hero changes feel like an afterthought
