Taken at face value it can be difficult to question exactly what the point of a sequel was because things really do feel that similar. Your cosmetics from Overwatch are all present and correct here and although there are a few reworks, most of the heroes and maps are pretty similar too – although with graphical overhauls. This is crucial because despite all of the changes it’s largely the same game. It is a big risk, but it seems to have paid off with a game that recaptures the excitement of Overwatch’s early days. That’s going to give a lot of people conflicted feelings, and as a result I think Overwatch 2 will probably be a very contentious game.įor me, I think it’s a much improved game that shows Blizzard isn’t afraid of trying out a few bold changes to reinvent a game that was still beloved by its core audience.
So, the question isn’t just about whether Overwatch 2 is worth your time, it’s about whether Overwatch 2 is a game good enough to justify Overwatch – a game people have been playing for nearly six and a half years – being canned forever. You truly can’t go home again, and in this case that home has changed to incorporate a shinier colour palette and a free-to-play mentality. In its place, Overwatch 2 is a 5v5 shooter with a variety of big tweaks. By the time you’re reading this review, Overwatch will be gone. However, Overwatch 2’s release is the death of its predecessor. The graphics and design philosophy start aging from a few months before the thing even releases, and because the same development staff are rarely attached to every game in a franchise, previous games being a smash hit is no indicator of a future game being worth your time. I don’t like to talk about legacy in reviews: video games tend to depreciate in value faster than a new car.

Thanks to a series of changes and also a huge shift to 5v5 multiplayer matches, it also isn’t Overwatch, the game it is replacing. The campaign mode – the main reason Overwatch 2 was being made in the first place – has been delayed and will arrive at some point next year.
