2 years later, Overwatch 2 Steam reviews crawl back from ‘Mostly Negative’ thanks to its new perks and old loot boxes

Overwatch 2 took a massive beating when it finally hit Steam two years ago, with thousands of negative user reviews reacting to the still-fresh cancellation of its PvE mode. The hero shooter hasn’t managed to shed its negative rating since then, but Blizzard’s sweeping season 15 changes are seemingly starting to reverse some of that damage.

For the first time in the game’s history, the 5,000 or so Steam user reviews logged in the last 30 days have an average ‘Mixed’ rating, rather than the ‘Mostly Negative’ it usually sits at. All time reviews have also been able to crawl back from ‘Overwhelmingly Negative’ to simply ‘Mostly Negative’, as more and more people are discovering that Overwatch 2 is, in fact, not the biggest pile of trash in existence.
