Blizzard has opened up about the impact Overwatch 2 “review bombers” have had on the team, acknowledging that the “dissatisfaction” stems from “the cancellation of the much larger component of PvE that was announced in 2019 […] that Blizzard ultimately couldn’t deliver”.
In a statement posted to the game’s official website, Aaron Keller said that while being review bombed “isn’t a fun experience”, the plan was to “move forward” by “adding to and improving Overwatch 2”.
In less than 48 hours after its Steam debut, Blizzard’s free-to-play hero shooter became Steam’s “worst game of all time”.
Despite peaking at around 75K players and amassing thousands of reviews, last week, the shooter leapt to the top of Steam’s chart of the worst-received games after review bombers awarded it an aggregate user score of around 0.94, making it the “worst reviewed” game on Steam.
