Should I play Overwatch® 2 in 2024?
The good
It appears that some players still cherish the core gameplay mechanics carried over from the original Overwatch, even if they don’t explicitly state it. 🕹️
The bad
The transition from Overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2 hasn’t been smooth, with players reporting significant issues like losing their collected skins, sprays, and charms when merging accounts across platforms. Nostalgia for the original game is also a prevalent sentiment, indicating that Overwatch 2 may not be living up to its predecessor for many fans.
Verdict
Should you still buy or play Overwatch® 2 in 2024? Based on the reviews, it’s a tough call. The mostly negative sentiment, coupled with significant issues like losing previously collected items when merging accounts, suggests that this game might not live up to expectations. If you’re nostalgic for OG Overwatch or have a lot invested in your original account, you might want to proceed with caution. However, if you’re new to the series or can overlook these drawbacks, there might still be some fun to be had. But overall, it seems like Blizzard has some work to do to win player trust back. 🚫❌
