It was only released on Steam two days ago, but Overwatch 2 is already breaking records, albeit probably not the ones Blizzard was hoping for. In just 48 hours, the free-to-play hero shooter has become Steam's"worst game of all time".

Despite peaking at around 75K players and amassing thousands of reviews, the shooter has leapt to the top of Steam's chart of the worst-received games after review bombers awarded it an aggregate user score of around 1.

"I somehow purchased Overwatch 1 for $40, which Blizzard then deleted and created this predatory microtransaction simulator instead,"."It's the exact same game, but they removed all the stuff you paid full price for in Overwatch 1. If you played Overwatch 1 at launch, this is not only identical, it is the exact same game. Biggest cash grab of the 21st century.""Pros: it's free now, no battle.

"Clueless devs in charge of game balance. They will gigabuff characters seemingly at random, make several minor, irrelevant tweaks to others, all while characters that desperately need adjustment are ignored for multiple seasons." After further complaints about counterpicking, premium content, and bugs, the review ends:"Overwatch will always be special to me which is why it’s so heartbreaking to see it suffer through greed and mismanagement. You might enjoy the game, but it’s no secret that the good days of Overwatch are long gone.", which currently sits at 1.4 following thousands of negative reviews there, too.
