Blizzard notes Overwatch 2's review bombs but insists players say it's "in the best state it's ever been"

cross-posted from: kbin.social/m/PCGaming/t/360252

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”.

Lt_Worf,

There’s a difference between the gameplay and the greedy, manipulative monetization.

The gameplay itself is solid and polished better than just about any multiplayer game out there - anyone who tries to argue otherwise is letting their (justified) anger toward Activision/Blizzard influence their judgement.

The monetization feels gross and disrespectful of the playerbase. It’s like we have this well-made AAA quality game, but it’s inside a vegas casino. Even if you enjoy it, you have to deal with this unsettling feeling of being scammed the whole time that you play.

kibiz0r,

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”.
