Whether or not you enjoy the original game or the sequel.
It can be agreed upon that both games have elements that make them shine.

Minute changes such as this have an incredible impact on how the game is played.

What areOverwatchandOverwatch 2?
Released in 2016,Overwatchis a hero shooter with MOBA elements.
This is not the case inOverwatch 2, as teamplay is more based on individual performance.
As opposed to team play itself.
While Overwatch 2 takes a more direct and skill-based approach to combat.
It can initially be somewhat jarring for players returning to the series fromOverwatch.
This has opened the floodgates for new players into the series.
MakingOverwatch 2free means that effectively anyone can play regardless if they paid or not.
This has been done away with inOverwatch 2in favor of a Battle Pass system.
This change encourages players to be more aggressive in activating this passive.
Additionally, this completely changes how fights play out inOverwatch 2compared toOverwatch.
They make for a more fast-paced experience.
The new damage passive changes the game quiet.
Rewarding skillful deliberate gameplay as opposed to the more attrition-based system ofOverwatch.
Accompanying these recent damage changes are new heroes as well.
Ranging in their class and functionality, these heroes seem welcome to theOverwatch 2roster.
A roster bolstered by many new DPS characters accounts for over a third of the hero roster.
Whether it is the tank and destructive Junker Queen or the Soldier 76 like Sojourn or the healer Kiriko.
These new characters have been a smash hit among new and returning players to the series.
SoOverwatchorOverwatch 2?
As with many things in life lot of these things come down to personal preference.
I’m sure many players enjoy the new Free to Play model thatOverwatch 2has implemented.
However, I can see people being more divisive about their new Battle Pass system.
One might see it as a tedious grind with numerous tiers to unlock.
Overall,Overwatch 2does a splendid job of building on the previous game in the series.
However, some players may feel like this has come at a cost.
I hope you enjoyed how we laid out comparisons and contrasts of each game to inform the player further.
