Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
When Blizzard announced Overwatch 2, the big new feature they announced, the entire premise that made it "worth the sequel treatment" was the PvE campaign mode.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay & combat itself feels highly rewarding however, the learning curve is steep & I don't think there is an actual skill ceiling to this game or if there is, I can't see it yet...theres a lot of mechanics to be mastered.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
A PvP game at this pace relies heavily on quick disambiguation of what you're looking at, so you can react and compete, and the new engine makes this impossible without turning all the effects back off... meaning that the two years of development is for a feature best disabled.

Graphics is very well done, and performance is well optimized.
