    No skilled game at all, just a chaotic rush. More like cool down click game where aim no matters. Another Blizzard kids game for money wasting same as WoW. Game also do not support 4:3 resolution.

It's been found that the report system is controlled by the community and so does the balance around in the game. When someone get beaten by another character constantly they tend to cry on the forums, with others in agreement, then the balance team nerfs said character into oblivion. They have been known to consistently lie and also consistent into not listen to a lot of forum posts asking simple questions, BUT if it defies Blizzard by all means you get banned for it. I DO NOT recommend wasting money nor time on this game. I feel terrible for the voice actors for this game, they are being played for fools and probably being lied to about stuff too.… Expand

The only thing that I saw that Overwatch did sort of well was the amount of characters and the HUD, yet the HUD was more clunky than a broken SUV. I was just overall upset from the game after playing a few matches. I'm very disappointed that a huge team by the name of Blizzard could be easily beaten down by a team of almost 13. The awards it got at The Game Awards were screwy as heck, with Warframe winning the vote by taking more than two thirds of the pie chart, yet Overwatch winning due to straight up popularity. Then Blizzard treats all the players like children, and banned a competitive Torbjorn main, who was one of, if not, the best Torb main, that player being Fuey500. The soundtrack sounded boring, though fitting the style of characters a bit, just boring. And people say starting Warframe is a bit newbie-unfriendly. Just another game under a big developer.… Expand

    Mediocre FPS that is based excessively on previous exponents of the genre without innovating in anything. almost two years after its release many people can not play due to the exaggerated problems of the servers and many other problems related to Blizzard and its inability to maintain a video game.

    So, unless you have a full 6 players on your team that you *know* won't sabotage the match, you're going to have a miserable time.

    --------------------------

    Okay.

    I love the little movie vignettes... the concept art and character design... the level layout... and I love WATCHING this game as an E-sport.

    But PLAYING the game is strangely awful. Only about 1 out of 10 games are close matches -- the other 9 are just steamrolls, or exercises in teeth-gnashing frustration.

    I understand the IDEA of encouraging players to cooperate through complementary character roles and all that. But people just DON'T.

    Regardless of how visually beautiful the levels are, you're trapped with essentially one very tired game mode -- capture the point. It's been done *to death* over the last several decades. Please, please, please continue to experiment with other options.

    This tears me apart, but I have to be honest. This still feels too much like a TF2 clone; with a ton of charm and finesse, but a TF2 clone nonetheless.    … Expand

Balance is absolute trash with the easiest cheapest characters being the strongest while actually skilled based characters get tossed aside. Half the cast is useless and it only serves to tick the woke checklist. By the way, here's a censorship patch! We know the game is a joke filled with cheaters but we don't want you to be mean to said cheaters... It's a complete waste of everyone's time.

In addition, you'll encounter poorly matched teams with skill levels that drastically differ from one players skill to another and in a game that's won and lost on a knife-edge it tends to lead to visible frustration and toxic behavior.

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

The gameplay is good, the game is well polished, and Blizzard has worked hard to balance the heroes since launch. I had a blast with overwatch when it first came out and for a few months afterwards. The problem is player population. As the months have gone by, the shrinking pool of players in my country has caused the matchmaking to become worse and worse. It is now common to spend 3-4 minutes waiting for a match, even during peak times in the evening on weekends. These long waits are more often than not followed by an unbalanced match. I have no problem losing games, what I have a problem with is getting steamrolled by the same team 4-5 games in a row, then steamrolling another team, or getting backfilled into a losing game with no chance of winning. I understand that online matchmaking is not a perfect science, and the algorithm is probably doing the best that it can to provide good matches, but there simply are not enough players to make it happen. The $70AUD price tag for a multiplayer only game almost a year after it's release is almost certainly the cause of this problem. This game deserves a 9 for it's gameplay, honestly, however Blizzard's desire to gouge Australian gamers is killing this game, at least for me.… Expand

    There's a good game buried in Overwatch, but it is grossly overshadowed by one of the worst match making mechanics around. Enforcing a 50% win rate, you will have frustrating, boring match after frustrating, boring match. Even if, somehow, you get a decent one, a rarity, the lack of maps will quickly make this game a dull use of forty dollars.

Essentially you are not as bad as you think and the game capitalizes on that idea by placing you with crappy players and, as Blizzard openly admitted, starting you at an SR 200-300 below your actual SR to give you a false sense of achievement.

    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.

    Also, there's a questionably unethical undercurrent in how every one of the women has this idiotic, asinine, childish backstory about how they didn't age. Cryogenically frozen! Stuck in a time vortex! Injected with Captain America drugs! You will facepalm every time. Every. Single. Time. (These aren't spoilers, they exist in the lore outside of the game.) Being an ethical person who cares about equal representation rights, I'd ask where the objectified men and older women are. They're not there. There are lots of games out there with a much more genuinely diverse cast of characters, and without all of this skeevy sexism intended to result in porn.

    Did you know that major porn sites had to block 'Overwatch' searches and uploads because it was getting out of hand? It was all over the gaming news because it pretty much exemplifies what Overwatch is about. It's a skeevy porn game. And the game is designed to be as comforting and as easy as possible to reach as many perverts as possible.

    It's overly easy, slow paced, and nothing about it requires any skill whatsoever. It's basically what would happen if Candy Crush Saga and Team Fortress 2 had a kid, and then that kid was raised by a skeevy uncle with regressive views about women. That's exactly what it is. And with the tiny amount of content present and how lazily designed it all is, it just felt like a rip off to me.

My ears bleed constantly.
    Skill ceiling ends at the skill floor in this game. There's no skill to talk about in R/P/S moba design on designless maps with obvious checkpoints and characters with ultimate actions that quarantee you at least few kills with no effort whatsoever. No matter how good you could be in BF, no matter how good you could be in UT, Tribes or Planetside. You will own scrubs and scrubs will own you, because there's no skill development at all to practice. The only "skill gap" is caused by solo queue team being matched with full premade teams that win by default just thanks to the voice com.
    And there's the price tag. This is simply a God damned joke. Every other company would get murdered for such behaviour.

    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.

    Some of the ultimates are literal aimbots, meaning that even if you're the worst player with parkinsons and brittle bone disease you will get easy kills. The skill ceiling of this game is reached within the first few matches. The only competitive thing being the pre-match sitting-around-in-spawn arguing with people trying to make a coherrent team. Not that it matters, as one button ultimates will demolish good or bad alike.

    I've played CS 1.6, CS:GO and BF2-4 on a very high level and I can without the shadow of a doubt say that this is the worst FPS game I have ever seen. There's no recoil, you don't need to aim as the hitboxes and abilities will do all the work for you, the servers are atrocious 20tick compared to 128 in games like CS, the graphics look like TF2 but use resources like it's the Witcher with hair physics on with useless garbage cluttering the screen at any given time, maps are boring and horribly made with chokepoints.

    The custom game option is probably the only enjoyable thing about it to play with friends, as you can change the recharge and spawntimes of abilities, but even that gets old quickly due to the lack of content and the AI being absolutely garbage and it only being able to use about a 4th of the heroes in the game.

    It's overpriced, overhyped and a terrible FPS game. People will tell you that you're "hating on it because it's popular" but these people have no reference as to what a competitive game should offer.

    TL;DR

    **** maps, terrible balancing, boring visuals, no progression, no learning or improving one self except for map layout, atrocious matchmaking, terrible voice acting, dumb abilities and ****ty attitudes.

    No matchmaking in unranked, bad matchmaking in ranked (less then 1 second queue often), toxic community, little amount of maps, lack of balance...all in all great potential but terrible management.

    Simple and not in a good way, there are no unlocks or a progression system. It seems like Blizzard spent all their resources on making the classes and something very unnecessary..cosmetics.

    But how else would they make money on lootboxes without putting in any effort.

    this game has some satisfying game play when you play a proper ranked match, but that is a rarity when you;re thrown into completely lopsided games the majority of the time.

    This is either a poorly balanced moba without creeps, or a mediocre FPS with obnoxious special abilities. You decide.

    There is zero character progression, cheaters are common, speech is policed in a creepy way, and new content crawls along at a pathetic pace.

    Blizzard hasn't innovated for over a decade; Overwatch doesn't come close to changing that.

    It's also plagued with a lot ot cheater already, tons of Aimbot primarly, and surprisingly, a huge amount of trolls in its playerbase, considering its cost (40$ for the cheapest version).
    I cannot understand how this crap got a 92 as metascore... except for some HUGE bribe from Blizzard (well most of the SH now does it so...).

The matchmaking is so unfair it's laughable and Jeff Kaplan and the retards at blizzard have no intention of making it any better. 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.

    Es un juego sin campaña escaso de contenido el cual se vende a un valor muy alto teniendo en cuenta que además tiene micro transacciones, la similitud con team fortress es evidente, la gran diferencia de este ultimo es que es gratuito. No hay innovación ni grandes características que cumplan con el hype y la publicidad que le da la prensa, en otras palabras no es más que un free to play.

    Game is worth a 6 at best. Limited maps. POTG is broken. The matchmaking is broken, occasionally you face bronze opponents. Other times you face 2 or 3 diamonds. No single player. of all the characters only a few are worth playing in competitive. Also the game still doesn't handle idle/afk or players who deliberately bomb competitive matches.

    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.

    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.
