It's 100000000x better than Payday 3 somehow.

Great game, some of the most fun I've had playing a co-op game in years.

Please use part of the money from game sales to hire an artist instead of using AI art. I'm sure it's less expensive and I'm not certain in what capacity it's used but it's a shame it needs to be used at all.

Fix Legends matchmaking, trying to play with random players crashes the game back to desktop. Other than that it's perfect.

Live, Laugh, Sucker Punch.

I bought the silver edition for early access like a dumb ass and regret it immensely. Right now PD3 is a literal bait and switch heist on your wallet. I won't even deduct points for the absolutely atrocious server issues on launch.

The only upgrades this has over PD2 is the Gunplay, Animations and Graphics. That's it. Everything else is a downgrade.

Weapon selection sucks. OVERKILL weapons are essentially pointless and limited to 2 guns but It's really only one because the grenade launcher is the worst weapon in the game.

Skill trees suck and are way too simplified, it feels like everything besides 3 traits makes no difference in your gameplay style. Also skill trees revolve around refreshing 3 (yes only 3) modifiers that are almost useless.

No offline or single player option. No internet? Servers are down? Sucks for you I guess you can't play the thing you dropped $40 on.

No pre-planning / crime.net to organize heists based on loud / stealth or heist tactic. No lobby chat. Favors are limited to one per person. No match XP, all leveling is based on leveling up individual weapons. The main leveling tactic is to sit in a bathroom and kill cops to complete challenges, without touching a single mission objective and then kill yourself to end the mission.

Outright removal of Melee weapons. They don't exist. No comically large spoon for you.

There's a reason PD3s highest player count in the last 24 hours is just above 2,000 and PD2 just had a peak of 30000.
4/10, just go play PD2. It's just objectively better and all around more fun to play.

It took me unbinding and rebinding my Steam account from my Blizzard account to get this into my inventory, took over 30 minutes just to get a battle pass and an epic skin. Fix your account linking systems.

According to my Career page, I have played 616 hours of Overwatch since 2016. I have enjoyed most of my time with the game, made friends and memories through it.
But after the last 2 years I can say with 100% certainty that this is a cash grab masked in the skin of a game I held dear to my heart.

Blizzard is a money-grubbing sinkhole that shows no remorse in gutting one of its best creations in favor of quite frankly evil and apex-predator levels of monetization.
Getting rid of Loot Boxes simply gave them an excuse to trash every part of what made this game REWARDING to play.

I'll get to the point

Pros:
-Interesting game-play mechanics
-Polished feeling world and characters

Meh:
-Free (I feel like this was a good idea in getting new players but it created a whole new issue of smurf accounts)
-Matchmaking works half of the time in QP, getting mixes of Top 500 players with Bronze-Gold players isn't always so fun
-Pay-walled or Progress-walled heroes

Cons:
-Battle pass system with underwhelming rewards
-Ludicrous pricing of skins (around a $30 maximum, $20 average)
-Blatant lies and keeping the community in the dark
-Competitive Matchmaking is atrocious and is so overly complicated that it's not even worth typing out.
-GUTTING OF PVE, TALENT TREES AND HERO MISSIONS
-Misdirected balance patches that sometimes feel like they blindfolded themselves and just picked a random complaint from a TikTok video comment section

It's hard to just chop it down to a single cause, but in my opinion, this is a clear and classic case of Executives that have never even launched the game forcing orders down the
development team's throat and sewing the seeds of its inevitable downfall. I will continue to play Overwatch until I just don't feel like it anymore, but I am absolutely heartbroken
that I know its time is near if something does not change.

Bar Girl won't give me my damn Whiskey and Rye, 10/10

Never thought I'd be asking for more work but I've finished PowerWash Simulator and am frothing for more. I've gone to the real world in search of this satisfying feeling; first the side of my house, then my car, then my roommates car, then the neighbors grill. It got harder to find that feeling time and time again, finally it came time to give my cat a bath. I don't know if I'll ever forgive myself.

Update: I'm now on several no adoption lists.

For a free Prologue, this thing kicks ass.

The deck system is simple but interesting enough to keep me replaying the one story available, I've had a blast figuring out different strategies to maneuver through enemies and making them blast each other away or racking up combo counts to deal massive damage with one blow.

I love this game and can't wait for the full version, I need MORE.

It was $20 for this or $200 for therapy.
