The first Overwatch remains one of my favorite online multiplayer games. Having heard a bunch of negative things about the second game, I uninterestedly decided to download the game a couple of weeks after its release. The main complaints were having to provide a valid phone number to login (fixed by the time I downloaded the game) and the fact that this game was more of the same and played almost exactly the same as the first one. This last complaint was actually one of my favorite things since it felt I picked up the first game where I left off (I stopped playing the first game in early 2017).

So all in all, I don't have any issues with this feeling a lot like the first game but I can see why people were upset. Also, the lack of the promised PVE modes was another complaint but I was able to play the Halloween event that was released and it was very fun.

I can see myself going back to Overwatch 2 sporadically throughout the year and that's all I can ask for a free to play game.
