  Overall should you play Overwatch 2? The answer is a resounding yes considering that the game is free. While it isn’t something that I would necessarily play for long hours into the night, it’s definitely a game that’s up my alley and it gives me something else to play with friends, which is always my number one favorite aspect in any game that I play. At the end of the day if you don’t like it, you can always uninstall it and move on to something else with no regrets whatsoever.

  Overwatch 2 doesn’t truly deserve to be called a sequel, as it’s pretty much an update of the first game. The fact that Overwatch 2 also replaces the icon of the first Overwatch in your Battle.net launcher also makes this rather clear.

  Overwatch 2 is a good game. It has differentiated itself enough from Overwatch, and I would argue in many ways, the 5v5 format is better. It is no longer a shield bonanza or visual clutterfest of 10 different barriers being shoved around the map at once. Teamfights and ult economy are still the same, but fights feel a little smarter.

  Overwatch 2 simply exists in an awkward transition phase between the game it was and the game it wants to be. It's not a revolution by any stretch, at least not how the original game was, but it's still Overwatch and that means it's still a ton of fun.

  Overwatch 2 isn’t the grand reinvention that many believed it was going to be. It’s still Overwatch, for the better or for the worse. However, in my opinion, it is still by far the best multiplayer shooter out there right now and its core mechanics never seem to get old. It’s just a big shame a solid core is being massively let down by an aggressive monetization system and lack of gameplay rewards.

  It's a fun shooter with great gameplay variety, solid map design, and well-designed mechanics, but the same could be said for the original game, which no longer exists. The new iteration is less than a sequel and more a payment model transition that comes with a few new characters and maps.
