    It may not win over the "hordes" of LOL gamers, but HoS has its own strengths and a unique style of play that will probably appeal to many fans of MOBA games.

    It’s a decent MOBA with some good ideas, and it has a promising patch-filled future, but they need refinement before Heroes of the Storm can join the big leagues.

    Perhaps with time Heroes of the Storm can age into something great, for now it’s worth checking out if you want to experience a different take on a popular genre.

    As others have stated this is just another cash cow for Blizzard. It's actually sickening to me how Blizzard have become a money grabbing corporation from the small band of average Joe's who changed the face of gaming back in the 90's. Money and power inevitably corrupts. But what do we have left with Blizzard? The only Blizzard game I now play is Starcraft 2. I look forward to the third installment on this front but since I've stopped playing WOW and I'm not really a Diablo fan, Blizzard are now like the band I used to love but who now play crappy pop music with only the occasional good song.

    The game itself is, as expected, in no way exceptional. It draws on the shoulders of other successes and I can honestly say I will never play it again after an hour of play in which my heart sunk and my faith in this one time great company vanished. Hearthstone was the first nail in the coffin, Heroes of the Storm is the second.    … Full Review »

    Gameplay feels very slow, tho matches are way shorter than in top MOBA's like League and Dota. It feels almost clunky and unresponsive and for my taste, it's to much team play oriented which is bad in several ways: you feel less impactful, playing solo can be extremely frustrating (way more than in LoL or Dota) and shared experience is just plain stupid idea,

    Game has also several technical issues, like unstable fps with even significant drops, issues with reconnect after getting DC.

    Even games has sever different maps to play, witch different objectives it feels all games are the same, objective after objective - there's not much freedom and strategy involved, it's basically all about how well you cooperate with teammates, and falling behind is more common point of no return than in other MOBAs, because you can't carry weaker players and loosing few objectives gives enemy team insane power spike. One more thing, being heavily objective based game falls short on direct pvp (both duels and team fights), which takes most of this gaming genre's fun away.

    If you are not a big fan of blizzard and their lore or you are not super casual, you might have hard time enjoying this game. Tbh, I can't find anything really positive and good to say about this game.    … Full Review »
