I would consider myself an Overwatch player and fan for sure. Generally, was pretty excited about Overwatch 2 but when they announced it was going Free to Play, as most people, it got me worried. At first, it didn't seem too bad of a model until the Halloween event was introduced. The new skins CANNOT be earned by playing the game. They must be purchased for about $20 per skin. Outrageous. This is not a TRUE F2P game if you cannot earn these items.
Besides the monetization, the gameplay overall is very fun. Not enough has been changed or added to be called "Overwatch 2" but I am looking forward towards the PvE content in 2023.
The visuals have been nicely upgraded and the sound design on the guns are amazing. If you are an Overwatch fan, there is no doubt you will be playing this. However, if you are a new Overwatch player and this is your first time playing. It may throw you off a bit as you have to play 100 matches to unlock all character, reach a certain rank in the battle pass to unlock Kiriko and you must get 50 wins, not games, but wins to unlock Competitive mode. Seems kind of steep.
