Overwatch 2 is a bummer

The original Overwatch was another one of the many games in 2022 to bite the dust and when it died it was replaced immediately by its successor. This could have worked. Blizzard could have taken the original game and updated it in a big way and got people excited to play Overwatch again.

Instead, Overwatch 2’s launch was a giant mess with server issues, bugs, broken characters, overpriced skins, phone login requirements, tons of grinding, a shitty battle pass, and no PvE content—a big part of the initial Overwatch 2 pitch. Today, a few months later, Overwatch 2 is in a better place, but it still feels like Blizzard picked the absolute worst way to roll this game out and then screwed up that plan, too.
