This review was written before the game released

I think it's hard to give this game anything above a 3, but I also don't think it's as bad as everyone says. As someone who has played maybe too much Overwatch throughout the years, I have had a lot of fun with Overwatch 2. I think the 5v5 system is a lot less chaotic than the old 6v6 teams and I enjoy the new maps and heroes for what they are. Comp has felt less like a sweat-fest and while I dislike the new ranking system, I can see what they were trying to go for even if it wasn't executed the best. However, the new battle-pass system is awful and will lock a lot of people away from getting the skins they want without paying for money which in my opinion, is just scummy. Overwatch 2 really is just Overwatch 1.5, but I don't really see that as a bad thing as the changes made I personally feel were for the best. Will it get better? Hopefully, but I hope Blizzard fills the game with enough content to keep it fresh because if OW2 stays the same through the years its relevancy will slowly diminish.
