Honestly a fun game, shooting works fine because you can see where the gun is pointed. No issues there.

But the THROWING... on index? Let me start by saying the hand angle is *completely off* for index. For where my hands are positioned irl, the in-game hands are about 20 degrees off, and throwing always seems to throw a little lower than what I'd expect for a throw. A workaround I found was to kinda thrust my hand forwards while throwing, almost like a shotput.

I *did* finish the game, but I'm not sure how much I actually enjoyed it. It was more an experience than a game, with some harder areas and some you can breeze through. I'd say buy it and see how you feel about it. Some replayability but for the most part a 60m run-through type game.
Also just to note as others have said, the "Story" is not really there anymore... I couldn't make out a story really from the game.

Things Blizzard has promised to do, and never done:

- Fix issues with and make statements regarding use of Mouse and Keyboard on Console
"“Currently, we cannot do anything about players using input conversion devices to use Mouse and Keyboard on console. However, we have put serious research and development against this problem and we’re hoping to have a solution to what we consider to be unfair circumstances. This is a priority for us and we’re trying to combat this through technology and policy.” -Kaplan, Jan 2018

- Add in more tanks and supports than DPS in order to even the roles out more
“We plan to make more tanks and supports – and we know the game needs more,” We have many plans, and I’m not exaggerating when I’m saying this but we’re literally working on up to six heroes right now. We have the next six planned." Kaplan 2018

- Balance in such a way that the general ladder isn’t screwed over by it
“we listen to everyone’s feedback. it’s all important. when it comes to balance, we primarily balance the game around owl, gm/masters.” -Kaplan, April 2020

- Place a greater emphasis on lore and story development
"The first round of Overwatch 2 PvE missions will cost players $15 as part of the Overwatch 2: Invasion Bundle. This will grant you “Permanent access to the Overwatch 2: Invasion Story Missions"

- Show more transparency regarding the development process
“[We] definitely want to be more communicative. And our plan is not to go dark for an extended period of time… So it’s very front-and-center in our mind to communicate more.”
“We also want to be careful. I think there’s a right time to get the audience hyped and build to launch. And there’s also a time where it’s like, “Hey, that was kind of not cool of you because it was too early and we’re not ready to have this yet.” So I think we want to be very transparent with people.”
Kaplan Feb 2021

- Provide more frequent updates about new content coming up
“What can we get away with in a patch in Overwatch 2? When does the community accept a massive change that can only come with a sequel? Both of those things are in consideration. Our general thought and philosophy is we shouldn’t have arbitrarily held things for Overwatch 2 that would benefit Overwatch. We should try to get those out to our community as soon as possible.”
“and then there are other things that we just think we should get to the Overwatch community. And we really take all of them on a case-by-case basis. It’s a constant discussion of what should go in what branch and let’s make sure that we’re serving the players as much as possible.” -Kaplan February 2021

- Provide more frequent updates about OW2 and the development
“Our strategy for after BlizzConline in February is to be more communicative. I don’t know if I can officially commit to monthly updates on Overwatch 2, but we definitely want to be more communicative”
“We were discussing as recently as yesterday the opportunity of there maybe being some cool stuff we could talk about in March or April to keep people updated and to keep people going.” -Kaplan february 2021



My thoughts:

Overwatch 2 is a glorified shop update. Couple new gamemodes and a few new characters.
If you like the game, enjoy, but it's definitely not for me anymore.

Early Access Review
I really loved that part of the game where he said "It's Pegging time" and then proceeded to peg everywhere
