Most of the Steam reviews are directed at lack of content, overpowered heroes, communities, bugs, and aggressive monetization policies, with some ``people making Overwatch porn more than people making Overwatch''. are working harder.”

'Overwatch 2' has changed the game style greatly from 6 to 6 people in the previous work to 5 to 5 people, and some players who are accustomed to the previous work say 'It is a downgrade version of the previous work'. There have also been criticisms of the change. In addition, it was announced that the PvE mode that introduced the skill tree system, which was prepared as the main axis of 'Overwatch 2', was

abolished , and the PvE mode 'story mission' was announced to be charged, and was introduced as it was while receiving criticism. It was also the cause of the low rating reviews.

Analysis has also been launched that the number of low-rated reviews is due to the fact that the license agreement between Chinese game companies NetEase and Blizzard Entertainment has expired . In January 2023, Blizzard Entertainment's games, including 'Overwatch 2,' became unplayable in China due to the termination of the contract by the two companies on the left, leading to the greatest dissatisfaction among Chinese gamers. Daniel Ahmad, who analyzes the game market, points out that the release of the game on Steam may have caused Chinese gamers to return and explode their dissatisfaction. In fact, about two-thirds of the Steam reviews are in Chinese, and it is said that domestic servers will not be opened and reviews criticizing the community have been posted.




However, about 80% of nearly 40,000 reviews excluding Chinese are negative, and it seems that it is 'overwhelmingly unpopular' worldwide.
