Blizzard has opened up about the impact Overwatch 2 “review bombers” have had on the team, acknowledging that the “dissatisfaction” stems from “the cancellation of the much larger component of PvE that was announced in 2019 […] that Blizzard ultimately couldn’t deliver”.

In a statement posted to the game’s official website, Aaron Keller said that while being review bombed “isn’t a fun experience”, the plan was to “move forward” by “adding to and improving Overwatch 2”.

    They’re not wrong. Overwatch 2 is in the best state it’s ever been.

    Unfortunately, that state is: “the same game as Overwatch 1, but with a worse monetization scheme”.

      Yeah, and the PvE content that was supposed to justify the “2” being cancelled. The gameplay is fine, that’s not why people are mad. It’s the fact that you have to grind for months to earn heroes and the battlepass system is garbage.
