Overwatch 2 Topples Legends of the Three Kingdoms to Claim Top Spot on Steam's Worst-Rated List

Recently, a major shift occurred on the Steam store. Following its arrival on the platform, 'Overwatch 2' was hit by a massive wave of review-bombing, successfully surpassing the long-time holder of the title, 'Legends of the Three Kingdoms' (a card-based strategy game notorious for aggressive monetization), to become the lowest-rated game on Steam.

This 'milestone' sparked intense community discussion. Players jokingly remarked that this was a 'little Steam shock' (a common meme phrase for receiving harsh feedback) delivered to Blizzard. Once a top-tier competitive shooter, the game has now challenged the infamous reign of the card game legend in the hall of shame.

The community remains highly critical. Players pointed out that the frustration has been brewing for a long time, particularly due to Blizzard's recent decision to cancel the promised large-scale PVE mode—the original justification for rebranding the game as 'Overwatch 2'—and replacing it with a gutted version. Additionally, many are skeptical about why Blizzard, a company with its own proprietary launcher (Battle.net), would launch on Steam. The consensus is that they are hungry for traffic, but without proper support for legacy data from the closed Chinese servers, these efforts are likely too little, too late to salvage their reputation.
