    The game has terrible maps, 2 game modes, immensely stupid characters with one button combos which in most instances are impossible to counter. The rock paper scissor balancing is the biggest nuisance in the game, but that is to be expected from Blizzard who are known for atrocious player vs player experiences.

    The game runs on 20 ticks servers, which is something that should be a thing of the past, basically it is like playing BF2 all over again. You will get shot through walls and behind cover constantly. If you have ever played an FPS before, you will get annoyed with this game almost instantly once you realize that there is no difference between people who are absolutely garbage and people who know what they are doing.    … Expand

    Blizzard is telling everyone they deal with hackers but overwatch is the most easiest gaming platform to hack on. Worst of all people are making hackers that are better then blizzard's anit-cheating system meaning the anti-cheating software cant tell. Blizzard is doing nothing to improve the anti-cheating software and hackers are ruining everyone's experience in overwatch

Don't waste your time on this game you'll just end up frustrated and tilted not to mention there really isn't a whole lot to do. After Activision took over Blizzard their games have steadily declined with Diablo 4 looking like the only decent game/expansion to come out in recent years that might warrant spending the money on. Couple that with their recent controversial decision making and i'd say you have a gaming company that thinks about it's wallet before its products and customers.… Expand

Limit the champs you can choose in competitive to a handful every week instead of actually balancing their heros. **** THIS. GAME. it is an actual piece of **** I bought an FPS and this game has become a MOBA with all the brain dead cancer they added. The game has become a no aim, no skill game. Every death feels out of your control. I really like hard games. But when you constantly die stunned or by some unbeatable ultimate combo the game does not feel satisfying. The devs are focused on creating an accessible game rather than one that is actually fun to play. They made it so that you can play someone like Reaper, contribute nothing all game, and press Q and get a 6K cause you spotted the moment. When I die in most other FPS at least I can acknowledge I was outsmarted or outplayed. But when you die to stuns and Q pressing, **** that needs zero aim, zero skill, zero hindsight, it just feels bad. The ****tiest thing about this game by far is the hero balance. Instead of balancing all heros to be able to compete with one another, this game became a game of counters. Feels like glorified rock paper scizors. Feels bad popping off and having half the team swap to counter your favorite hero. You can play a counter-swapping **** and do better than most one-tricks and climb the ranks. Which is a shame because I can count the heros that are actually fun to play on one **** hand. On top of all this, you have to wait massive queue times if you want a competitive or qp match as a DPS. 2000h and I am stuck playing QP classic so that I can actually spend time in game.

    Played since Beta, characters are fantastic, maps are poorly designed, matchmaking has always been horrific. Competitive is nothing more than a time killer, no real enjoyment as it feels like rolling the dice every game you play. Pass on this one at this point, and keep the expectations low for the sequel.

Yet somehow this scenario is suprising to Blizzard, who want to be taken as a serious e-sport. Or maybe they knew how bad their game was designed, but didn't care because they knew they were doing something no one else was and they could get away with not thinking about the core rules of the game. Either way, if you want a slick shooter with lots of strategy, this is your game. If you want a game where your strategy matters at all, there are games with much smarter rule sets for that out there.    … Expand

But I felt like taking a chance on a game I'd otherwise decided against. I knew Blizzard. I hadn't been a fan of any of their games since Starcraft 1, and even then I played that in between other projects of mine. But Overwatch looked like it had a lot of passion and hard work put into it. So I gave it a shot.

    Overwatch proved to be a waste of my money in the end. I had fun playing it for about a week and then wondered what all the hype was about. But a couple of my friends kept pulling me back in, saying I just hadn't played it the right way or something, so I kept trying. This game just didn't stick for me.

    It's...lacking. In almost every way that makes every other team based shooter I've played fun. There's no real depth or complexity to any of the engagements. You know who's gonna win in almost any situation. You know exactly how to counter another person because of how restrictive and inflexible the combat is. The fact Blizz keeps adding new heroes without really tackling some of the issues with the old ones only creates more problems. And my GOOOD, the ultimates got old, so so fast. There's nothing to them. You press a button and kill or heal everything. The ONLY thing you have to worry about is timing. It's just so bland.

    I've found that when discussing what makes playing Overwatch so much fun to the fans and people who consistently play it, I don't get anywhere. All they can really say is that it's generally a good game. Why? The only conclusion I can draw from this is that they like how simple it is, or they just don't know anything better. Ironically, one of the other points I'm often handed is that "It looks good." Dude...Quake III Arena still looks good to me, even now. It plays even better. I know we gotta get our rocks off to silky smooth 60+ fps and 2k resolution but can I get a game that plays first?? I get enough shiny looking dumpster fires from EA, thanks.

    This feels nitpicky, but another point about the game I'm handed is the story. This is at least a better case to make than how the game looks, but I couldn't take the lore seriously at all. It tries way too hard, imo. Arena shooters don't need a complicated story with a deep background and interpersonal relationships for literally every character. It's neat..sure. But ultimately unnecessary. TF2 and Quake got along fine with "group of people shooting each other for **** and giggles". In fact, thanks to the simplicity of the premise, players were allowed to connect with their chosen character much more smoothly. They became what we made them. That's way cooler than getting someone with a predetermined history in my books. Plus, it really seems like some of the more popular characters are only so because their **** and/or asses have more 3d polygons in them; 3D jerkbait. You know? That's really **** disappointing.

    TL;DR game is stupid simple. Nothing else to salvage here. Gonna go back to Quake, TF2 and Unreal. Peace.    … Expand

    A game bursting with excellent characters, art style, voice acting, and personality. However my fault with this game comes with its gameplay:

    - Healing regenerates far too much health, and so far only Ana has any antihealing abilities - Team comps are generally quite restrictive and revolve around a meta. -    A game bursting with excellent characters, art style, voice acting, and personality.

"Hey, why not make a way to play the game that costs a little more effort from the player than just pressing shift for xy?" Nah.

First she was perfectly fine, then the rework came and she was stupidly OP, then got nerfed into the ground till she is pretty much useless compared to other support Hero's. And all that goes on and on. Fancy graphics with literally no exciting gameplay and such a small learning curve as Overwatch has it won't keep a game alive that long. It's -sadly- just another pile of useless AAA junk that some people were throwing on the market. Make it good or just don't make it... Even though I have to mention: It CAN be fun for 2-3 matches every few days, but the matches are too repetitive for me. It is one of those games which have the same **** formula for every single match. That's why I rate 2/10. Because you can have at least a bit fun with it for a short period of time.… Expand

And now for the second of many flaws in the reasoning behind this, "Its balanced." Ignoring the commonly accepted opinion by the people that this game is most definitely not balanced, An online-only multiplayer online shooter should be balanced from the start. It is not some kind of extra feature that the developers put in as a surprise, its something it should have from the start. That's like saying that a bowl of ice cream you just made is the best ice cream in the world because it has a spoon. The reasoning is just plain flawed. Overwatch came out the exact same year other games that deserve the spot as game of the year did. Some Examples include Dark Souls 3, DOOM, Inside, Final Fantasy 15, Uncharted 4, and Even Battlefield 1.

Free holidays also make waves of banned cheaters to return to the game. If you want to save your nerves - do not buy this game in the current state, save your money for better developer.… Expand

    Great game if you have patience enough to lose dozens of times. It's not satisfying when you win 3 matches and then loose another 7. For me, playing Overwatch was stressful, so I gave up.

    Juego casi abandonado, hereos rotos. más de 5 minutos para jugar y cuando encuentra partida, el equipo contrario son todos de level 90 y tu equipo de level 10 a 20. Totalmente desbalanceado y no se disfruta para nuevos jugadores. Solo lo recomiendo a los que juegan hace tiempo y se saben todos los héroes y habilitades, para nuevos mejor evitarlo.

Aim-in-the-general-direction-projectile-spam and shooting at shields, that's Overwatch in 2019, and it's not getting better. Matchmaking in competitive play in atrocious and the role queue system has made the queue times awfully long in the high elo ranks, and depending on your region the game may be unplayable completely. Overall? Don't bother. There are much better multiplayer games than Overwatch. If you're looking for a fun shooter game, this is not it.… Expand

    Overwatch has a roster of great characters (and I mean them as characters, not heroes to play as and against), is very good-looking, allows to create custom game modes and has a feature to give players something to do while waiting for their queue. However, its other aspects heavily outweight that. Yes, so heavily that it's worth 0 to me.

However, its other aspects heavily outweight that. Yes, so heavily that it's worth 0 to me.

    Regarding balance, Blizzard cares only about balancing the game for Overwatch league which works out okay for grandmaster players but is pretty much a "screw you" for the remaining 99% of the players. Of course screw them, it's OWL that brings in money, not players. That, or whoever is responsible for balancing has IQ far below average. For instance, Brigitte, one of the support heroes, was forced into F tier for the majority of the players in August 2019 and was only getting weaker since then. And how would you like a sniper that can't be countered because Blizzard was dumb enough to give her ways to counter her counters, removing any weaknesses a sniper is supposed to have so the only actual way to "counter" her is to win a sniper duel against her? And of course she oneshots non-tanks and deals very heavy damage to tanks.

    Ranked play is full of throwers. Good luck getting anywhere when you constantly lose matches because your teammates decide to not let you win. But I guess it's an issue every team game will have. Anyways, if you want a competent team you'll have a much better chance of getting it in casual play.

    Not that it would matter since matchmaking is terrible. It literally forces 50% winrate. You steamroll, then get steamrolled, then steamroll again, then get steamrolled again, and so on. Sometimes comes in packs of two to three.

    I started playing Overwatch almost two years after its release and missed out how it was promoted by Blizzard and how it was in the beginning but I heard a lot about it being a game where you can play any role an will still be able to contribute to your team even if your aim is bad because there are heroes that aren't heavily reliant on it. Well, good luck playing support when you are a free kill for any flanker or diver. Brigitte was released as a protector for her fellow supports but she's resting on the bottom of the trash bin so it's back to free kills. And good luck playing tank when you get annihilated in a second. Barriers help with that. Or used to because Blizzard has been actively trashing barrier tanks and now two out of three are outright unplayable. Healing also helps with that but healers get nerfed. Not to mention that Blizzard is thinking of implementing a limit of one tank per team. Sure, tanks got some buffs to compensate. Some tiny tiny buffs that don't stop them from dying at a moment's notice. And damage heroes are just op as hell.

    Sadly, Blizzard hasn't been about gamers making games for gamers for a long time already. And current state of Overwatch along with epic fail with Warcraft 3: Refunded actually makes me worried for the fate of Diablo IV and Overwatch 2.    … Expand

Some of the characters have 0 use in the game and are troll picks and other heroes are so OP they are played every single game. after thousands of hours I've never played against players who don't know what to do or who to pick or how to play but somehow I get the WORST POSSIBLE teammates on my team literally every **** game(so sad).

    There's a stats app that shows how well you do in each game and my stats say I play better than 99% of players but my rank is Silver which is second from the worst. Hilarious. Idk if blizzard can make a good anymore. D3 = total **** hearthstone = beyond garbage and WoW hasn't been fun since 70 launch. I honestly don't think blizzard could make the game any worse. Better than that half the time when I go to join a game it kicks me out and won't let me rejoin(the button breaks x'D) and I have to relaunch the **** game just to be able to rejoin and then after I do all that AND rejoin the game the server closes down and it gives me A **** LEAVE and I can't play for 30min. **** THIS GAME. It is BEYOND trash and wouldn't even be worth the time to play IF IT WAS FREE.

    I mean there are free to play shooters that are WAY better than this game. On top of that, I paid 200+ dollars(after buying a few loot boxes after launch) all WASTED. I've uninstalled that piece of **** and if I had a physical copy of the game I'd burn it. **** Blizzard **** Jeff Kaplan and **** whoever else ruined what could have been a fun game to play.

    Please do yourself a favor and spend your money and time elsewhere. Blizzard trying to make an esport out of this POS x'DDD who the **** wants to watch that?! Retards on twitch might but not me that's for sure. I really feel sorry for people who are taking this game seriously because of the lag, retard teammates and unfair matchmaking system is here to stay.

    Dear Jeff Kaplan, kill yourself. It's the only way out.    … Expand

    Aside from being one of the biggest wastes of time video games you could possibly play, Overwatch is anything but fun.

With horribly balanced heroes and maps that share the same make up, the game is basically boring. Say you wish to try your hand at competitive; maybe test your skills with people of similar talent? Well good luck. Overwatch has a nasty habit of pairing you with other players that are multiple levels of prestige higher than you. Additionally, since the newest update, winning your ten games is equivalent to not even playing the game. Someone who wins 7 or 8 out of their games has the same chance of being ranked with players who have only won one. All-in-all, Overwatch is a poor excuse for an FPS with Blizzard once again trying to hop on the band wagon of popular game genres (I'm looking at you Heroes of the Storm) with basically what you could call a poor man's Team Fortress 2. Thanks Blizzard for once again setting the bar so low, we knock our heads on the way out of uninstalling the game.… Expand

    - Pairing with bronze players against gold or higher in competitive.
    - A loss in competitive makes you lose a full rank.
    - All other loot box items are unwanted other than skins.
    - Team composition at the time of writing must consist of 7 of the 21 playable characters.
    - Toxic player base, akin to that of COD
    - Few game modes
    - Multiplayer maps are quite boring after a couple rounds, there are only 8 (game has been out for almost a year and a half now)

    Forced 50% win rate is real.

    That's all you need to know. It is the one big factor ruining this game. Every match is a steamroll one way or the other, because it intentionally matches you against much better or much worse players. It's not so much a game as a coin toss.

    This game started out great, then it became dull,
    It's not for everyone, and it can sometimes cause huge anger and frustration because of the matchmaking system.
    I don't regret buying it as it was great when it first came out, but I probably won't play it much anymore, I'd like to check out better games than wasting my time playing more Overwatch.

    Over hyped. This game is deprived of content, and it is good enough to warrant playing it just to get better at it. If you want a good team shooter, play Dirty Bomb or Team Fortress, they're are leagues better than this horrid excuse of a game.

    First 50 hours of Overwatch are kind of fun but then you'll start to realise all the very minor but highly annoying design faults in this game and its internal logic. The characters are all fun and the lore is interesting. However the game mechanics are very very very poor at closer inspection compared to other similar games such as TF2. Blizzard also has "Not Invented Here Syndrome".First 50 hours of Overwatch are kind of fun but then you'll start to realise all the very minor but highly annoying design faults in this game and its internal logic. The characters are all fun and the lore is interesting. However the game mechanics are very very very poor at closer inspection compared to other similar games such as TF2. Blizzard also has "Not Invented Here Syndrome".

    Blizzard keeps attempting various ideas which have been tried before decades ago and conclusively determined to be bad before discovering on their own an existing known best practise or design. The management is also quite bad. By the time you have 200 hours like I have you'll absolutely hate this game. This truly is a strategy game company's first attempt at making first-person shooter. They just do not "get it".

    One design idea Overwatch employs a lot is to make the each team responsible for their collective actions. Thus Overwatch is a game which doesn't care what ever you do in your team as an individual player. You could be the best guy to heal people, best guy to do frags, but ultimately that doesn't matter as you're not evaluated based on your individual performance. You get points by doing teamwork and the game only evaluates players how much and how well they do teamwork. Individuals aren't welcome.

    If one of the mates quits the game in your team, all players, including the opposing team, will have their points reduced. It's made to disincentive leaving during a match but it just makes not so fun game when you know you're forced to play a game you cannot win any longer and you've lost interest to.

    Overwatch also does player profiling where it attempts to place similarly playing individuals against each others. Do you play with people who often rage quit during a match or have done it yourself few times? Well, start expecting to see people who quit the match more often than not. Text chat a lot during game? Ok, you'll end up with people who chat a lot and don't concentrate on game. This is apparently a means to fight trolls.

    How about we throw 12 random individuals of various skill levels, nationalities, languages, experiences, etc. who don't know each other beforehand and don't communicate during a match? The result is just a disaster. This is a game for groups of friends not for individual players and you will constantly lose and lose and lose and lose until you find a group for yourself. Otherwise there is going to be always that one guy who doesn't get the pacing of the team and blames everyone for the problems of the team except himself or herself and doesn't concentrate on improving the team. Also the people who "main" certain characters a garage who need to quit Overwatch as they've not understood the game at all.

    Having just any group also won't do. It needs to be a group that has trust inside it and ability to know each character inside and out to be able to improve the group's collectivist skill cap and to support your team. That is an impossible equation.

    By the way the community in Overwatch is cancer and Blizzard is feeding them. Blizzard for example banned certain words from chat because according to the community "hurt feeling" of people which was just ridiculous.

    Technology in Overwatch also doesn't really work. I don't like the latency issues caused by data centre approach to servers. I'd prefer player controlled and owned servers. The loot box system is cancer and makes the game unfunny and unenjoyable since you cannot play the game to have skins and other costumes you want. Instead you'll receive random things and seeing constant boxes of duplicates is very very common.

    What little there is music, it's great. Most of the characters are decent but some are just throughout useless and hinder the lowest common determination combination possible which might win. Widowmaker in particular because most people are not good at shooting with sniper rifle in this game. And each time you see a person select Widowmaker you know your team is going to lose. Character balance is just bad in OW and the amount of characters make sure that it's impossible to reach a balance.

    Just don't. Don't get into Overwatch unless you have a group of friend who constantly keeps playing this game and you all think alike, drink same liquids, eat same food, live under same roof, etc. You will lose as an individual player regardless of your skill level and history in FPS games.

    And I know it isn't a real thing in most games but in Overwatch the ELO Hell is a real thing and it exists and once you get into sub 1500s in competitive mode there is no way out from there unless you have a group of friends to play the game with.    … Expand

    I got Overwatch after some peer pressure from friends, one of the reasons I was against getting it was because of major hacker problems. Guess what, It still has hackers problems! But the thing is; it doesn't really matter that much on open play or bot matches because you can still have fun, just don't expect to win every match.

    Now for Ranked matches, hackers should be dealt with but it seems alot fall though the cracks because of the way the characters, and skills work. Is there a lot of hackers in the game? Yes, in fact its fully of hackers but there are also a lot of highly skilled players who have been playing since the game launched and being able to tell the difference between them is near impossible sometimes. You can blame Blizzard here for allow net cafes (PC Bangs) in Korea for this problem - they recently banned 20,000 accounts? But since they can create an infinite amount of accounts and smurf accounts it really compounds this problem especially if they don't get banned quick enough.

    One of the things I don't really like is that fact the match making system is obviously worthless, it just doesn't work. I'm a level 15 currently, a new player...so why am I'm being placed in matches against level 300s? This absurd matchmaking is one of the reasons why I'm deducting points, in a game that is 90% Competitive PvP - a proper matchmaking system is important and Blizzard fluff'd this.

    Next problem is the absurd and overpowered characters, some characters are so WTF overpowered it isn't even funny, and other characters are almost pathetically underpowered. But most of the time, it isn't going to matter that much at least when your enjoying the game.

    I like the idea that you can get some decent stuff from loot boxes without paying, and the MTs don't effect gameplay at all, which is kinder rare these days for FPS games.

    Another problem is that, honestly? There isn't very many maps, limited variation - it seems they added a few new game types called "The arcade" which I haven't tried yet, but I'm going to assume if they use the same match making system then for new players, it is going to be a waste of time and will be frustrating.

    The Co-op feature vs Bots is something I feel like I'm more able to enjoy the game, and I wish more game modes was available. Finally, it seems a lot of the reviews have compared this to TF2 and honestly, I saw that immediately when I first played the Route 66 level, the color and style felt almost like a rip off - another issue is that with this 50/50 win/loss ratio, getting placed into a good team and being carried, winning several matches...then being placed into a team with wildly different levels then losing then next few matches.

    In hindsight, Overwatch isn't a bad game, not worth $60 and I feel bad for anyone who paid full price at launch and regretted it, I paid $40 for the GOTY edition and looking back, I feel like I should have just got the basic version and saved $10....however, I'm okay with my purchase and this game is something I can have fun with, new players though I don't recommend binge playing because you could quickly get bored with the repetitive maps, and loses due to poor match making.

    Another major issue is the fact that getting skins, especially with the current "anniversary" event is way way too hard, or way too expensive. The fact that you could easily spend $100 on loot boxes and STILL not get the particular skin you want says how offensive the micro transactions can be.    … 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.
