Ok, everyone knows about Overwatch 2. But here we will talk about newb experience in the game. In this article we will talk about both good and bad sides of Overwatch 2 so you can decide if this is the right game for you.
PROS
1. Noob-friendly gameplay. This is essential for me, I am afraid of team-based competitive games. It took me about 5 minutes to realize what to do and be decent at the game. I still failed the team, but not always and not that hard.
2. Low system requirements. Most Systems can handle the game without FPS drops and it looks pretty good.
3. Different playstyles depending on the character. You can always find a character you will feel comfortable with. Melee, ranged, AoE. They have everything. Find the ones you like and grow from there.
4. Lack of toxicity. I played for 3 hours and havent heard a bad word about someone who is bad. Surprising, since sometimes I was very bad.
CONS
1. Matchmaking. As with all team based games a lot will depend on who you will be matched with. It feels sometimes I am getting in the wrong bracket, where I cant do a thing, and sometimes I feel more skilled than players around me.
2. Learning Curve. To be good you will need to learn all the character and their moves. It will take a while, but you can start without this knowledge.
3. Game updates. I heard that game got changed a lot and it had more variety beforehand. Like 6v6 instead of 5v5, no locked teams, so you could strategize more. Some people might find it bad, but probably it was a balancing move.
Verdict. Is Overwatch 2 good?
Yes. I havent had that much fun playing FPS games for a while. Even though I lost 2/3 of games, the ones where we won were really cool. I even managed to get 10 kill streak.
Strongly recommend to try it if you havent played it.
