(A few-weeks-early one-year review)

I don’t know, maybe I had put too much faith in the team when this first released. My launch review was 4 stars, simply because I was already a big Overwatch fan and enjoyed all the changes that 2 brought.

But after a year has passed, I’ve come to feel disappointed with how the devs handled changes and patches and new content. The battlepass is probably the worst thing to happen to this game, because heroes and maps and skins now feel like they were forced out to keep up with a battle pass monetary system. Instead of the occasional pretty good new map, character or skin, now we get mid content often. I used to play this game for a few days every week, but I haven’t even touched it once a little bit after Kiriko released.

I don’t think any other game has fallen off this hard to me post-launch. The one thing that was going to bring me back got canceled, being the single player campaign. And I don’t really think anything they could do will reignite my interest, unless they overhaul the entire game (Overwatch 3?)

I just wish this game had a different developer, because Overwatch at it’s core was a pretty great game.
