Overwatch 2 receives an 'Overwhelmingly Negative' reaction on Steam with 62,000 negative reviews Overwatch2 Blizzard Steam
Following the recent release of Overwatch 2 on Steam just a few days ago, the game is already receiving huge backlash from fans of the series as the game currently sits on an ‘Overwhelmingly Negetive’ review rating on the PC game hosting service.
Out of just over 69,000 user reviews on Steam, over 62,000 of those reviews have the free-to-play team-based shooter marked with a negative review score. The result of this huge backlash is mostly down to Blizzard’s recent decision to majorly roll back, and in some cases outright cancel, the game’s promised PvE content
. The promise of dedicated PvE content was a major reason why many players chose to stick with the hero shooter and since Blizzard’s announcement surrounding the change to content plans, many have been questioning why Overwatch 2 even needed to be published in the first place.
Alongside this, many players have been pointing to the shutdown of the original Overwatch as it appears Blizzard aimed to get more players to migrate over to the game’s sequel. Annoyed and frustrated at the lack of innovation in Overwatch 2 anothersays, “I somehow purchased Overwatch 1 for $40, which Blizzard then deleted and created this predatory microtransaction simulator instead. It’s the exact same game, but they removed all the stuff you paid full price for in Overwatch 1.
