Review: Overwatch 2 - Solid F2P Shooting That Doesn't Yet Justify The '2' | NL

NintendoLife writes:

The recent release of Splatoon 3 spawned an interesting discussion over what justifies a sequel. Considering that Splatoon 2 is still playable on the Switch and maintains a healthy player base, its follow-up was viewed by some as an unnecessary iteration that failed to meaningfully innovate. Blizzard’s recent release of Overwatch 2 reminds us quite a bit of that situation; what we have here is a sequel that made some subtle tweaks to the gameplay without really changing or adding anything (beyond a notable switch to free-to-play here), only in this case you can’t go back and play the predecessor if you preferred it. Overwatch 2 manages to provide an enjoyable competitive FPS experience that can be a real thrill to engage in, but it’s also chock full of reminders of how much it missed the mark.

I was reading some reviews about OW2 (not playing this crap) but it's more on par with Paladins that OW1 was. 5v5, Battle Pass, even their rank system is very similar https://www.pcgamer.com/how...
Each tier has a range like Paladins. I remember they had a one time deal back in 2021: "The Paladins Champions Pack is one of the most generous deals in free-to-play gaming. Pay a one-time fee of $30 and you unlock every present and future champion forever. " I took advantage of that. Blizzard is way to damn greedy to do that I'm sure.
