Aaron Keller pledged to improve the game for “players who are playing now.”

    If real people hate your game because of the changes you made from the last one (that you took away from them), that’s not a review bomb.

    It’s just a review.

      You’re entirely disconnected to reality if you think Overwatch 2 deserves to be the worst-reviewed game on Steam.

        Based on what?

        The negatives are extremely bad, and people are legitimately reviewing the game negatively because they legitimately think it’s a pile of shit.

        It is literally unconditionally impossible for it to be a review bomb if the reviews are motivated by the core design decisions of the game.

          Today’s concurrent player peak is ~47k.

          Why would 47k people choose to play the game when it’s the worst game on Steam? Literally worse than a game like Bad Rats: the Rats’ Revenge that fundamentally doesn’t function correctly. For reference, its peak today was about 20 players.

          Before you reply with something like “marketing”, you seriously think that if Bad Rats launched today, and with the same marketing budget as OW2, that it would achieve anywhere close to 47k players peak 10 months after its release?

          Like I said: you’re disconnected from reality if you think OW2 is the worst game on Steam.

              deliberately steal a game people liked to replace it with an addiction machine

                The original Overwatch, which had none of this shit and was a one-off payment, was killed off in favour of OW2

                  leaving a negative review because of that would by definition be review bombing, because at that point you’re not reviewing the game, but external context that surrounds it

                    Not really. Reviewing the game as OW with enshittification is a perfectly reasonable review of OW2 in and of itself.

                    Especially if the publishers made the one-off purchase version unusable just to push people onto the enshittified one.

                The reason Overwatch 2 is the worst reviewed game Steam has ever had?

                A bad game does a lot less harm than a game that seems good on the surface then tries to rob you blind.

                  by “tries to rob you blind” you mean a game with entirely optional additional purchases?

                  wow you’re right they really get you with that “you can pay if you want” model

                  it’s practically criminal definitely worthy of being the worst ranked game on steam
