Overwatch 2‘s director is aware of the game’s horrible Steam score
Issues are wanting up for Overwatch 2 lately. The sport’s Stadium mode has been celebrated by many gamers, and its new characters have been common. However over on Steam, Overwatch 2‘s overall rating is still a “mostly negative” 25 percent. PCGamesN asked Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller if he was aware of the low score.
“It’s one thing that I do take into consideration rather a lot. Our energetic gamers are telling us, ‘Hey, the game is in the best state that it’s ever been in, or has been in for a very very long time. You need to reconcile that with the status from a wider gaming neighborhood,” Keller instructed the outlet.
“[That reputation] is one of the reasons we’re taking bigger swings – we’re trying to break through some of that noise and let players who may have written Overwatch 2 off know that there’s still really exciting things happening in this game. I think if the players who stopped playing a year ago or two years ago jumped in right now, they’d recognize that there is something very different about the game, and that it’s come a really long way. I think that it has leveled up as a competitive FPS game. It’s giving players more strategic choice inside of a match, and, if you look at Stadium, there’s more ways to transform the way any hero plays.”
