OVERWATCH 2 GAMEPLAY FREE
You could also earn free lootboxes and in-game currency just by playing the game, and I must say, Overwatch was pretty generous with them too. You get all heroes unlocked from the get go, and you had the option to buy lootboxes in the game's shop to unlock in-game skins and items. In vanilla Overwatch, you had to purchase the game to play. The battle pass and hero unlock system were the new things introduced to Overwatch 2 with the move to the free-to-play model. Battle pass, skins and hero unlock system There is a lack of options for support heroes to get out of a hairy situation in a pinch, but this seems to be improving as the game updates, so hopefully Blizzard is able to figure this one out quick.įor now, you just have to pray that your teammates are aware enough to come to your aid if you are in trouble. Playing a support hero can also feel restrictive at times if you get chased down by a fast-moving hero. I did wait up to ten minutes once queueing solo, and I would say that is already a pretty decent wait time, since there are reports of people waiting more than twenty minutes to get a game. Queue times can often be extremely long if you decide to queue for the role of the tank, simply because a match only requires two tanks per game (one on each team), as opposed to having four support and four damage dealers per match. It does come with a glaring negative, though, if you are generally a tank player.
This made it extremely boring and tedious to play against - simply because tanks and supports generally didn't do much damage, so it ended up being the job of the damage heroes to break these barriers, instead of concentrating on trying to take down the enemy team.Īlthough I initially did feel the void of not having that one extra teammate at the start of the season, coming fresh from vanilla Overwatch, the faster paced action of the 5v5 format quickly changed my mind. There are fewer barriers to fight through, as the old 6v6 with two tanks per team often had players using two tanks with a barrier ability.
OVERWATCH 2 GAMEPLAY FULL
I personally feel, after a full season, that the 5v5 format is much more enjoyable than the old 6v6, especially when there are fewer bullet sponges. The biggest change from vanilla Overwatch was the reduction of players in a match, going from a 6v6 to a 5v5. So, with that in mind, how does Overwatch 2 fare in this now saturated sea of competitive shooters? Gameplayįirst things first, let's talk about the gameplay. I've waited this long to write a review because I wanted to play it for a whole season, before giving my thoughts on it as a long-time player, and also a game reviewer. I have been playing Overwatch 2 pretty religiously throughout Season 1, since friends whom I used to play the vanilla Overwatch returned for the 'latest iteration' of the game.
