Steam\u2019s long list of lowest-rated games has found a new champion, and it’s one of Blizzard\u2019s flagship titles. Overwatch 2 <\/em>has become one of the lowest-rated games on the platform today, amassing a huge pile of overwhelmingly negative reviews since its release\u2014and doesn\u2019t appear to be bouncing back anytime soon either.<\/p>
It dethroned other not-so-illustrious titles like War of Three Kingdoms<\/em>, Flatout<\/em>, and Uriel\u2019s Chasm<\/em> with a 0.96 out of 100 rating, according to Steam250<\/a>. Blizzard\u2019s FPS has only been on Steam since Aug. 10 and has had over 100,000 reviews within a few days.<\/p>
Despite these ratings, Blizzard’s hero-based shooter did manage to accrue a little over 75,000 concurrent players since release<\/a> and has 40,000 viewers on Twitch as of publication<\/a>. The devs previously said they hoped the Invasion update might help boost Overwatch <\/em>player engagement<\/a>, but they probably weren\u2019t expecting this.<\/p>
Steam reviews labeled Overwatch 2<\/em> the \u201cbiggest cash grab of the 21st century\u201d<\/a>, with thousands of other players awarding badges to top-voted, mostly negative comments<\/a>. These reviews also come after monumental changes to the Overwatch<\/em> scene only days prior.<\/p>
The Invasion update rolled out the same day Steam users finally got access to OW2<\/em>. August\u2019s update introduced a series of sweeping changes to maps, meta, and even game modes, including the addition of the long-awaited PvE<\/a>.<\/p>
Players received an entirely new competitive game mode, a new hero, and a collection of new maps to top it off. This update has been in the works for quite some time<\/a>, and this isn\u2019t the response Blizzard likely hoped for.<\/p>
