'Overwatch 2 op grafisch vlak niet echt een sequel'

Volgens Digital Foundy hebben we namelijk hoofdzakelijk te maken met een upgrade (a major patch) dan een echte sequel waar de nieuwigheid vanaf spat. De skins van de hero's zijn van hogere kwaliteit, de maps zijn iets sprankelender en hier en daar zijn wat grafische snufjes toegepast. Het is echter de nieuwe 5vs5 gameplay die voor de nieuwigheid zorgt.

''Despite its sequel branding, Overwatch 2 is really a major patch update - one that doesn't quite earn the sequel status of its name and one that pushes its technology forward only in small, subtle steps. The higher quality hero skins, and the re-imagined maps are welcome but the real joy here isn't in its improved ambient occlusion or effects, or anything else on a technical level. It's in seeing something so familiar refreshed. It works as a free-to-play game, while the rebalanced 5v5 experience pays off. It's a logical step for Overwatch, a much needed remix that bundles in new characters and maps for good measure - all of which might encourage lapsed players to return. Overwatch 2 is easily measured in terms of positives then. It's not as radical an overhaul as you might think going in, though for Blizzard - and its fans - it's a great chance to re-evaluate what they loved in the original and how to take it forward.''
