Review bombed. Still getting peak 75k players says the article as well.

I do think the game's quality has gone down since OW1, but to call it the worst steam game of all time is silly. There's straight shovelware on steam.

With no context, completely in isolation, yeah Overwatch 2 isn't the worst. But for a lot of players, it's not just about what Overwatch 2 is, but also about what it did and what it means. That factors into players' feelings about the game.

Spot on. I dont give a single fuck about shovelware, but I absolutely care about OW and how Blizzard managed to turn me off a game I was pretty much addicted to.

the worst "triple a" game for sure

Almost every AAA release these days seems to earn that title.

Well they havent hit the core with the bar so it can always be lower still.

It depends on what metrics do you use. In general, lowest-rated stuff on sites are not the worst by objective terms, but because of propaganda or other stuff that pisses off people.
