I love Overwatch, but I fear I'll hate Overwatch 2.
I've been in love with Overwatch, its characters, and its world since day one. It launched when I was still at school, so I had all the time in the world between homework and revision to delve into the cinematics, the gameplay, and the fan art. I adored it all, and played countless hours of the game on PlayStation before moving to PC in my third year of university. I pored over patch notes and YouTube videos.
Changes have to be made between iterations of these games, but they're slightly alienating because I'm not familiar with theof Overwatch anymore. These changes I can deal with, just about, but then came the battle pass. Heroes will be locked behind the battle pass upon arrival. And it's not an early reward either. One of the screenshots of new healing hero Kiriko reveals that you'll have to hit tier 55, out of 80, before you can unlock her. You can no longer just play the heroes upon release you must grind out the $10 battle pass.
Overwatch upon its original release was unique in its take on FPSs but things have changed. Games like Apex Legends and Valorant have caught up. It's now following their trends rather than making its own, and Overwatch 2 might be suffering for that reason. The battle pass structure is iterated in every free-to-play game now and so feels worn out, and Overwatch 2 is now carrying that baggage.
