    this is not really a review because you cannot buy the game anymore , it does not exist because activision killed it.

    The game dynamic with the enemies and the six team squared was always a fun one. I enjoyed it even if it first really become a real multiplayer game when you were forced to two two team up. Just playing all the arkade mode getting the boxes every week. It was just you

    The game dynamic with the enemies and the six team squared was always a fun one. I enjoyed it even if it first really become a real multiplayer game when you were forced to two two team up.

    Just playing all the arkade mode getting the boxes every week. It was just you know fun with your friends and so much do it. I enjoyed the box system. Just hey play some games get free 3 boxes every week. not to texting on the schedule.

    I do believe paying for the game helped the community a lot because you were a lot more invested in the game because you had to buy a new one if you got suspended, so that was way more better to play with the community and talk to them because now it just feels like a f****** hellhole overwatch 2.

    Was overwatch balanced no, but it was fun and us always a bit of happiness in seeing what weird ways the characters were gonna be buffed and deep off this time. It is sad that I never got to play The Amazing first version of symetra, It does feel so really saddening that you just get this game taking away. Just like hey we make number two now. We are just destroying number one. Bye. Bye. It is one of the most gummy move. I mean they didn't destroy Team Fortress one when Team Fortress 2 came out so I am just sitting here with the memories of the good times, but looking at that awful piece of s*** that name is overwatch 2.

    Hacks, user trolling, and lazy moderation have ruined what could have been a great FPS.
    But Overwatch was a masterpiece that stood alone in a sea of FPS games.

    Rest in peace is my favorite game of the last 6 years until October 2022. Even though she was mocked by her creators, she was alive and beautiful...until she was finally killed and cynically replaced with a pathetic and greedy clone with the number 2.

    It was a good shooter, not bad, not perfect, but good. It had a leveling system, etc. I can say a lot of good things about the game, but my review will be too long. The only problem I have is obviously the community. Overwatch 1 was a MUCH better game than Overwatch 2, unfortunately, it's not the same anymore. Rest in peace.

    The gameplay is fast paced, creative and diverse, the character design is phenomenal, most of the heroes look fantastic, the maps look gorgeous, so many hidden details everywhere, overall I can safely say that this is an amazing game.

    But what doesn't make it a perfect game is the horrible matchmaking, the lack of gamemodes and the atrocious balancing. It's a shame that the game got abandoned all of a sudden because fortunately its flaws can be fixed as times goes by.

    It's still a very enjoyable experience, and I'm glad I didn't miss out on it, one of my favorite Online Multiplayer games for sure.

    Final Rating: "Fantastic" ~ 8.5/10.

    Overwatch was my go-to game for years. Shame they stopped updating it and deleted it in favour for the greedy cash grab that is Overwatch 2. Blizzard no longer cares about its core player base and would rather just milk money from cosmetics. R.I.P Overwatch. You used to be something special.

    I played a lot of Overwatch 1 before Blizzard broke their promise and ended the game in 2022.
    It was an amazing game.
    It had its flaws, but the release of Overwatch 2 only highlights how much of a stronger game Overwatch 1 was.
    I will definitely be playing Overwatch 1 Classic if it is released in the future.

    I have played over 500 hours of Overwatch. Many great memories, and of course some bad (some extreme instances of toxicity and so on)

    Graphics, characters and so on are good. But the game has suffered from a lack of updates (new maps/heroes) and the balancing at times have been lackluster. The game is much more enjoyable if you play with people you know! This is what the game was

    The game is much more enjoyable if you play with people you know! This is what the game was designed for. Playing with strangers can be fun.. but it can at times also be horrible. Absolutely horrible

    The matchmaking system is the worst in any competitive game I have played, and those are quite a lot since I've been gaming for over 25 years. There are many conspiracy theories (50% win rate algorithms, intermittent reinforcement and so on). Never before have I rolled so many people, and been rolled so many times. Also a lot of smurfs in the game, some of them my friends (who have played since release and have many accounts, but are actually grandmaster/masters/high diamond). This sucks for people who face them.

    All in all, a good game, that has issues, and a really missed opportunity from Blizzard. The playerbase has dropped significantly from a few years ago, and many feel the game is neglected by Blizzard, who are putting their efforts into overwatch 2.

    Could have been a 10/10, in it's current state it's a 7-8/10. Hoping some Microsoft direction and money can fix it, and that Overwatch 2 is a success xD

    I do realise I'm a bit late to the party and a lot has changed since this game's release, but it did get a GOTY nomination (a win, at that) so I have to put my own spin on it.

    And well, I had fun. A large variety of characters to choose from, flaming with personality and uniqueness, each with their own story to which you can be exposed in a variety of ways. There are many maps that are justified plot-wise and they come with a vast collection of different modes, with ones exclusive to certain festivities. And of course, a lot of customisation options, but you can get your favourite skins without breaking a sweat just by playing the game, so that is a big plus.

    The main issue with this game is balance. It's not even the main issue, it's THE issue. I'm aware of how this game looked like when it released, and it is puzzling why they introduced the gameplay changes they did. As of now, there are two ways to enjoy quick-play/competitive modes: a queue with role regulations, and a queue where you can play whoever you want. I like the idea of making this game a little bit less chaotic with defining three main roles, but it is not fun that you have to wait roughly 8 minutes every time you want to play the DPS role, considering that this role has more than half of the game's characters in it. And the non-restrictive queue does not help with that either, since even if you try to play your favourite character, if it is out of meta, you will get stomped pretty quickly by those abiding it. And we are talking about the main modes, which means this is mainly how the game is supposed to be played, so it really does lower the score for me. But all these are flaws that can be fixed and it seems that Blizzard is slowly starting to realise its mistakes, though for the results we will probably have to wait for some time.

    If you haven't played this game yet, I recommend taking a few of your friends with you to try it out, since it still is a lot of fun and the price right now isn't too high. But for now, I recommend you stick to those non-competitive quirky modes, where people generally try to enjoy the game.

    Los gráficos, sonidos y valores generales de producción son increíbles. El juego es muy pulido, y funciona increíblemente bien incluso en hardware de muy baja potencia.

    El movimiento es fluido y rápido, y el disparo es satsfying.

    Los héroes son realmente distintos y tienen su propia personalidad y jugabilidad. Ningún héroe juega igual que otro. Además, ya que he visto esto en línea últimamente, descuida a cualquiera que se queje del equilibrio de héroes y de las tácticas cursis que de alguna manera son "inmejorables". Esto es claramente un problema de "aprender a jugar". Jugué mucho la Beta, y déjame decirte, que el equilibrio está en un muy buen lugar, aunque podría mejorarse aún más. Todo tiene sus contadores.

    Mientras que este juego tiene sólo 12 mapas en este momento, y es repetitivo, se las arregla para mantenerse divertido e interesante durante un tiempo sorprendentemente largo. La razón principal de esto es que el juego tiene una profundidad inmensa bajo la apariencia casual-amistosa, es uno de esos juegos fáciles de aprender pero muy difíciles de dominar. Hemos detectado un problema desconocido. Y el aspecto competitivo del juego te mantendrá viniendo por más.

    La principal desventaja de este juego, es que si no tienes amigos con los que jugar, no obtendrás casi la misma satisfacción con aquellos que tienen su propia fiesta. Este juego se basa en gran medida en el trabajo en equipo y las tácticas. Todavía se puede encontrar el éxito en solitario, por supuesto, pero será más difícil.

    Aparte de eso, el juego merece su precio. Totalmente recomendado.

    It was a great fun in the beginning. I can't give a bad review to the game that I invested over a 1000 hours in (600 hours as D.Va ;]). It's a multiplayer struggling with balance and trying to reinvent iteself over and over again over the years, but the only thing it really succeeded in was losing appeal for fans. But still I guess it's worth a 10 euro that it goes for now.

    OW has lots of problems, but all in all it's still an addictive game with great gameplay, and great multiplayer when you don't have AFK or troll in your game. The characters and universe add a lot of depth to the game, it's amazing. Now all we're missing is a PvE mode, which will come with the next PvE expansion, which they've called OW2 for some reason.

(On SEA servers) players are rarely toxic in this mode, and when they are the other players are quick to joke about them, overall a chill atmosphere. 10/10

    Competitive Gameplay: Due to role-queue, the queue times are inconsistent, with tanks and supports waiting 2-4 minutes for a match, and DPS waiting anywhere from 7 to 15 minutes for a match, depending on rank. Balancing is usually bad, but at the current time of this review, I think all heroes are viable. The actual gamemode of Competitive itself is functional, with a SR system which does a good job at showing a player's skill, but isn't very deep. I think every match does feel winnable, and matches in Overwatch tend to be more balanced (player-wise) than matches in other competitive games I have played. The devs have also been making changes which makes the future of competitive more hopeful.
    6/10

    Story: Overwatch has a promising story with many characters that many people want to learn more about. The bad part however, is that the game has been out for 4 years and the story hasn't developed far. It seems that most story that we are given is just backstory for new characters. Many characters have not been fleshed out, and in some cases characters have been downgraded. Ex: In the early days of the game, it was hinted that Mercy caused Reaper's condition because he was a botched experiment of hers, this would have made Mercy much more interesting, but it was retconned when Moira was released, and the animated short that showed her backstory shows that Reaper was a result of her evil experimenting. Another problem with the story is that it is too basic. the members of Overwatch are all saints with no bad qualities, and almost all the members of Talon (the evil organisation) are evil with no redeeming values, the only exception to this is Doomfist, who is evil but has an interesting motivation behind his actions. adding on to the basic story, it feels too 'clean and happy', as the good guys win every situation they're in, and nothing ever has weight.
    3/10

    Community: From what I've seen online, the community seems welcoming, and does occasionally make some good art based on the game (both drawings and videos). However many forums for the game are filled with the same boring highlights of gameplay, and stupid ideas for designing the game.
    The n0rp is stellar tho.
    7/10

    Small Features: Events were a nice addition to the game, but every year they just repeat with little to no changes. Challenges were a good idea, but every single "challenge" is just win 9 games to get a skin.
    Skins in the game are very well designed, and interesting. the only problem is that there are much more "legendary" skins than "common" skins which makes them have less value imo. Emotes and other cosmetics are also neat, and when they have a "legendary" status it feels deserved. The U.I is functional and is unique, so that's pretty neat.
    6/10

    Esports: The game has an Esports scene that will last a long time, but it does have some problems with stability. Many players and teams have left, but new ones always take their place. It will never die, but its identity is uncertain. The game does have nice integrations with the esports scene tho, with lots of skins to rep the teams, and a replay mode for re-watching matches. The Esports scene often sticks with one meta for a few months at a time, so it can get boring at times, but every meta can still be interesting if the players pop-off.
    5/10

    Overall, with a great casual scene, a competitive scene that has promise, but the drawback of a basic story, the game deserves an 8/10.

    Retired healer who has consistently played at a decently high competitive level (Masters) for many years across many seasons, clocking in at least 600 hours overall.

    In a nutshell, Overwatch is a competitive team-based shooter that presents you with very compelling and addicting gameplay at first, but then eventually, sooner or later, wears thin and becomes more of a game that's not for fun but to feed your unceasing addition to it. (Or because you fall for the trap of "I want to climb higher in competitive mode and I refuse to give up.")

    Over my experience, Overwatch's potentially rewarding gameplay is weighed down by the consequence of a perpetually increasing casual player population. That is, the number of players who become complacent or do not have the drive to win is continually increasing, and that has resulted in matches of skill being often converted into matches of "flip a coin to see which team has the most committed players."

    Unlike other competitive games where you could potentially win a match all on your own through a sheer display of skill (aka carrying), Overwatch's carry potential is more or less entrusted to your damage dealers (aka DPS) while the other roles, tanking (defending the team) and healing, simply serve to provide them with a window to do so or to buy time during a defensive play.

    As a DPS, you are always stressed with underperforming being the one who makes or breaks the match, and as a tank or healer, you are always stressed with having to do a lot of work for little reward. Since I was focused on healing, I got used to this feeling of "backseat gaming" where I could only do my part and then simply watch the rest of the match unfold. (Naturally, as a healer, you don't have as much of an influence on a match's outcome as the DPS does.)

    Due to the vast population and variety of players, there is no guarantee whether you will get a team of five others who are actually playing at or above their rank. Moreover, there is always the possibility that a teammate might not have the will to win, is simply killing time, or in the worst case scenario, is joking around and not caring about the match. These frustrations add up over time, and everyone has a breaking point to how much they are willing to tolerate.

    What ultimately led to my retirement after investing so much time and effort is primarily enjoyment. Overwatch was fun in the past when I could play with like-minded friends of similar or better skill. They would do their part and I would do mine, and there would be incredible synergy, which led to enthralling gameplay. However, as more and more of them began to quit (for similar reasons), having to team up with random players (who tend to be uncooperative) has made it difficult for me to build an emotional attachment and interest in those matches.

    Additionally, I have grown tired of repeating the same actions over and over. It is akin to listening to your favourite songs repeatedly over the years. Perhaps you can enjoy them for one, two, three, maybe even four years. But eventually, you will reach a point where those songs will grow stale and lose its shine, and you will desire something fresh. That was my deciding factor for retiring from Overwatch: It was no longer a new experience.

    Overall, Overwatch deserves an 8, simply because it does offer new blood to the competitive gaming spectrum, but only for a certain amount of time. It is relatively enjoyable up until you inevitably grow bored of it. To maximize your enjoyment and minimize your frustration, I highly suggest only playing with friends and not playing competitive on your own.

    The game is fun and a lot of effort has been put into it, the main problem is the balance changes. You had the double shield in the meta for ages, you got brig who is so broken I have seen people one-trick her to gm with a 93 winrate. Gold players were able to make it to gm on her. Lots of things have been fixed, but the dev team really cares about the causal players, not the competitive ones.

So many quality types of classes to play around with, with a dedicated (but unfortunately highly toxic) esports scene - this is one of the staples of modern shooters.

    There are two major flaws, though.
    First and foremost the community is the most toxic one I have ever experienced in a multiplayer game. Racism, toxicity and trolls are in almost every game. The second big bumper is that Blizzard - as good as their intentions might be - mess up patches a lot. They need months to fix broken

    They need months to fix broken balancing - even if it is just 1 variable they have to change in the code.
    It's been like that ever since the game got released.

    If you manage to queue for matches with 5 friends, so you can avoid toxic teammates and overcome the (sometimes) strange balancing, this game can be a lot of fun.
    In Overwatch Blizzard has created one of the best foundation for a multiplayer FPS.

I have not found a game that has given me the incentive to keep grinding to improve, and to grow myself as a player. I've also met a lot of great friends here.

    Pros
    -good community, was once super toxic but has now really cleaned up
    -fun to play heroes
    -lots of depth, hidden under an easy to digest game that can be just as much fun for casuals as it is for the more competitive scene
    -family friendly
    -good esport scene
    -lots of great content creators
    -lots of positivity
    -a constant stream of free content
    -balance (both a pro and a con)

    Cons
    -slow updates, I would be happier with maybe one or two more hero a year and a few more maps.
    -balance
    -some cheese heroes can seem incredibly strong, especially at lower ranks
    -people will pick on you for playing a "dead game" filled with an obviously massive amount of players.
    -queue times because of the MMR system at higher ranks late at night can be pretty brutal, especially if you like to play damage heroes. I'm in diamond and usually find a game in less than a minute in solo queue regardless of time of day.

    I would recommend this game, its lots of fun, and if you're willing to put in the time to become good at competitive and really learn the depth of the game; I think that's where it's at it's strongest. Oh, and there is no "ELO Hell" you absolutely can grind out of a rank. I started at 2300 and am now 3400, my wife started at 1600 and is now 3100. It isn't your team, you're the reason you climb, this game is all about making yourself a better player and abetter teammate.

    The problem that has been bringing overwatch since its inception has been the balancing of heroes and the goal in the competitive scene, because in the 3 years of life that has had the game we have been able to presence 4 different solid goals (there have been many more goals, but those that have been important and have defined the game have been 4), without more than adding overwatch currently seems to me a game of a tight 8 and could be a 7 perfectly.
