    RIP Overwatch 1, you we're legendary before Blizz put you through a content drought and replaced you with the literal downgrade that is OW2.

I wish blizzard headquarters get nuked, and i wish nothing more than for their families to burn in hell, my 2 year old son with cancer could make a better game than this. And lets not forget, my grandma died of a stroke by just playing this game for a minute ore two, her blood is on Blizzards hands. If you dont shut this game down i will personally see that Blizzard and its employes never sees the light of day again.… Expand

Creative) the game has no personality, no theme other than it being a very non offensive fps, the game balance is **** and the stun mechanics are super annoying and boring to play against, ultimates can't be countered and are unfun to play against (All you do is press 1 or 2 buttons to kill at least one person which is still more than enough to be a bad trade off as the negative emotion of the guy who died purely because the enemy had their meter filled up and pressed a button isn't fun to play against) it feels like gunplay is quite minimal and the game focuses too heavily on abilities as some character don't even require aim... At all, just press a button in a 70 degree circle and the enemy is beginning to die, the game feels like an ability waiting sum and characters have next to no mechanical depth, annoying '1 2' combos to instakill enemies, things like roadhog shotgun hit pretty much being able to kill every hero and even if they don't die they still are left with next to no health which pretty much implies death and those combos take low amount of skill to pull off, overall the game has low skill floors to characters yet the mechanics are confusing and the abilities are overwhelming to learn and a low skill ceiling meaning you probably get bored of each character soon enough and plus there's only so few characters in the meta… Expand

    Absolute garbage. What's the point of having 23 characters when the same broken OP ones get picked every game? And Blizzard couldn't design a matchmaker to save their lives. Between this, Starcraft 2 and their recent efforts in WoW, it's obvious they really don't belong in the business of making PVP games anymore.

    This game is Team Fortress 2 but bad. TF2 is objectively better than this game. Not just because Overwatch is dead.

    Purchased the game in 2017 and it was good for a while but the endless buffs and bad new hero abilities totally ruined the game. Its simply amazing how Blizzard can turn a great game into total trash. This was also my LAST purchase from Blizz.

    Press F for the good game. Curse on blizzard. Why are they taking one of my favorite games and turning it into a bad copy of itself? Now i just need to forget about it and find a new game to play... or cry.

    The game was removed from my library and completely shut down. No bot support. No private servers. No LAN. Can't even play the PVE missions. Disgusting but expected behaviour from Blizzard.

    Woke culture seeped into the gaming world. They suspended my account for defending my country but let others call it a **** lmao. You really can't make this stuff up. Rhe games repetitive and boring af anyways, it's always the same maps and players. Also, the player base is pretty horrible, people really don't know how to game these days.

    It was a bait-and-switch. I bouth a game with cools guys, like a ninja and a cowboy, and with cute and sensual chicks, but then they started pumping political postergirls. And have you seed the new OW2 characters? It's getting worse.

    And if you ignore all that, it's still a mediocre game of deathball vs deathball in a chokepoint. I don't think people are relly watching its e-sports. I    It was a bait-and-switch.

    From the beginning Blizzard has had no intention other than to milk the playerbase, and over the years this has manifested in many ways, from the completely automated punishment system where the only thing that's bannable is getting reported, awful, slow balancing and reworks that no one asked for and are universally hated but will never be undone, only a handful of skins every few monthsFrom the beginning Blizzard has had no intention other than to milk the playerbase, and over the years this has manifested in many ways, from the completely automated punishment system where the only thing that's bannable is getting reported, awful, slow balancing and reworks that no one asked for and are universally hated but will never be undone, only a handful of skins every few months from a company with billions in revenue (although they do release a couple at exhorbitant prices for their fanboys) and an esports league no one asked for that serves no purpose but for people who don't understand the jame to copy what they see on stream and be roxic when it doesn't work. It's good that people are starting to see this. There continues to be no reason to pick anything other than one-shots, which means they're constantly buffing everyone else like MJree leading to a situation where they're simultaneously broken and throw picks (against one-shots), further confusing the game's balance. They still haven't even fixed a major exploit that lets you queue for tank then pick Rog or ball, two S-tier DPSs who leave you with one less tank. There are many great reviews under "Most helpful" that touch on other important points, such as style over substance - the latest example of which is Sojourn, who is the most generic shooter character possible but with this trendy new crouch slide-jump just so you can make plays that look flashy on Twitch. And we haven't even got to the "sequel" which is more of the same but with one less hero because making tank fun again still eludes them. Overall, no potential here unless somehow a company that actually wants to make video james and not just money gets their hands on it.… Expand

    TL;DR
    You never get evened matches, it's either you win easily or get wiped easily, all depends on the awful matchmaking system that sometimes gets your normal teams and sometimes gets you the worst ones ever.
    I never hated a game so much and I'm only playing it because there's absolutely no other game to play at this time. 1. Role Queue Since it got released I never played dps    TL;DR

    I never hated a game so much and I'm only playing it because there's absolutely no other game to play at this time.

    1. Role Queue
    Since it got released I never played dps because waiting 20 minutes for a queue is just a no no so I always play a healer and most times it's just dps moira, because I wanna dps

    2. Placements
    Playing as a healer to get the best placement possible then on the 10th game someone from your team quits and you get a loss and it counts as a part of the placements and you get 2300 rank matchmaked with horrible noobs forever because the matchmaking system is the worst.

    3. Worst matchmaking system
    Get an awesome cooperative team then get the worst team or the one player that sabotages the match.
    Means you can never really progress through the 3000 barrier even if you carry your team every game.

    If the game would'v evaluate the players better it could'v team up better and fair matches and this game could'v been perfect.

    But it's the opposite.    … Expand

    Overwatch remains one of the most compelling and experimental shooters in the world right now. Blizzard Entertainment’s commitment to innovative new heroes, modes and responding to community feedback is unparalleled – and a treat to watch. Like World of Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo before it, Blizzard has crafted something that will undoubtedly be around for years to come.

    I'm certain that Overwatch will bring dozens of hours of fun to all lovers of dynamic online shooters. Focusing on one type of gameplay and an enormous attention to detail generated an excellent game. You have to appreciate the developers' sincerity when discussing doubts and problems with the community. Blizzard has done it again. You should see for yourself why so many players have fallen under Overwatch's spell.

    Overwatch is a punch to the face for multiplayer shooters. It mingles quick-fix, objective-based gameplay with a deep tactical core and intelligent meta, forming a game that is simply perfect in short bites and thoroughly satisfying to play for hours on end.
