    After its launch in 2016 I spent almost every night for 2 years playing Overwatch. I made good friends and really enjoyed it at first. But the reality is blizzard never invested that much content into the game. It was suppose to be a new esports thing, but didn't have hardly any teams until 2019ish.

    Overall overwatch had great potential, you can see it in the mechanics, the story, and how well made the characters are. But you can also see that someone in Blizzard didn't give a **** to properly roll it out.
    Playing the game is frustrating because everything relies on how involved your team is. and sometimes they literally don't give a **** Even in competitive mode. I've never received so much harassment, or seen so much vitriol in a online game before. And I've been online for a very long time. Hell I've been better treated by teammates in League for crying out lout.
    Unless you get a heavy discount for this game. Don't bother. This is coming from someone with more than 1500+ hours played. Wish I had quit after the first 100 or so; might actually have some good memories tied to it then.    … Expand

    I am not a fan of hero-shooters. I gave Overwatch an honest try, but this is not a mechanic for me. Despite that, I do see the appeal it might have to some. I will stick to shooting games with more realistic feel.

    The game is great fun. They have a lot of characters which allows for multiple strategies. Great gameplay, voice acting, maps, graphics and (for the most part) community.

Meanwhile here's a totally legit super serious league that you should totally care about... for some reason...? 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. No wonder people laugh at this shrinking community 'cause in all honesty if you still play this game you deserve all the hatred thrown your way.… Expand

    Is Overwatch worth getting into in 2020?

    Depends on the kind of person you are. If you like to play team based pvp shooters in a competitive environment, you should stay away.

    Overwatch enables every kind of team destroying behavior, may it be opting out of communications or throwing a game without consequences.

    Terrible game, the combat feels pretty smooth; but the thing I absolutely hate is the fact that who you play determines who wins. this game is so unbalanced seeing that roadhog and junkrat can kill almost anyone instantly. also the community is really toxic but if all character's where balanced and people did not act like this, this can be a great game

    Is the best predecessor of TF2. Fun gameplay and the animations are fantastic. Blizzard made an amazing FPS, but they had a lot of problems with balancing heroes and matchmaking on the competitive was sometimes awful. The playerbase was toxic af but when you find a team who wants to win was a great expirience. Jeff Kaplan and the overwatch team did a great job :)

    The lore is cool, and the gameplay is engaging, but essentially boring. The character roster hardly ever changes, so after a while you basically have seen everything it has to offer.

    This game looks great and it feels great to play. The playstyle for each hero is unique and fun. However, what brings this game crashing down hard are the terrible, horrendous, garbage balancing issues and balancing decisions. I've played this game since release and I've seen so much of this crap that I'm honestly never going to touch it unless it's during an event.

    Speaking of events,    This game looks great and it feels great to play. The playstyle for each hero is unique and fun. However, what brings this game crashing down hard are the terrible, horrendous, garbage balancing issues and balancing decisions. I've played this game since release and I've seen so much of this crap that I'm honestly never going to touch it unless it's during an event.

    Speaking of events, OWs' event gamemodes are braindead and boring and I've never played an event so boring before in my life. The only reason I will play this game during events is because of the hero skins. The art department for OverWatch does SO GOOD on their character designs and hero skins however it's wasted by the balancing issues this game has and the fact that the devs can never decide how they want their game. The overwatch devs will NEVER go out of their way to fix an issue as soon as possible. They always wait for the monthly balance patches, sometimes they wait longer to address a huge and glaring issue and who suffers from that? The players.

    There's multiple reasons so many people no longer enjoy this game, there's multiple reasons why so many well known community members and pro players have left the game. Don't believe the whole "Overwatch has 40 (or 50 or whatever the number is now) million players!" No, Overwatch probably has 40 or 50 million accounts. Which is a big difference seeing as so many people have more than 1 account. Which brings me to the next problem.

    Smurfs.

    So many smurfs. People wanting to feel validated so they make a new account and trash lower skill players. Not to mention every patch (maybe not every patch but it feels like it to me) they nerf a hero into oblivion and buff a hero into OP status to take the nerfed heroes spot. It's crazy and this game is not fun. This game is the only game I've EVER been mad while playing. This game had so much potential but sadly the balancing team makes nothing but bad decisions (mostly, the Brig nerf was SO necessary but then again she shouldn't have been that strong anyways). The only thing I can recommend for what Blizzard is giving us is this: Save your money for something else.

    TL:DR Smurfs, reworks, design decisions and so many freaking balancing issues makes this game a nightmare to play. Save your money.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    The game is good, the idea is interesting, you can play for several hours in a row and do not bother for a long time.

    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.

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 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

    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    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.    … Expand

    1.The game expands and amplifies all the problems that are impossible to control making it addictive and unbelievably unfun. Even pro-scene can't achieve proper team synergy after months of scrims, what could you say about ranked gameplay of random people?
    2.The game stresses the limits of poorly designed netcode too far. Because of complexity of hero interactions Blizzard has sacrificed important gameplay mechanics. First of all they butchered movement acceleration which is needed for aiming to be consistent and rewarding. Heroes in this game can crouch-spam and strafe-spam. Playing a dps hero in this game at high enough levels is incredibly stressful, you never know if you can be consistent today or tomorrow. Assembling a consistent team is also almost impossible. Because if only 2 players of the team take dps-role and if they are locked into that role - that means that consistency of 6 people team might be largely dependent on consistency of their aim, especially at higher tiers(this is only dps example, don't get me started on complexity of classes interactions and consistency of execution, it's just horribly overcomplex, it's like dota salt squared. in dota you at least can gather a team and can achieve consistent synergy) Now you can imagine what Overwatch pro-scene looks like. Like, in case of this bad design, a team has to have many dps-players, and if needed they should be able to replace each other as needed. But, in that case, how do you develop team synergy if you have so many players? Overwatch as e-sports is divided by zero.
    So I could say, that the game is unfun to play, but fun to watch as e-sports. Except it isn't fun to watch either if we get into bigger picture. With the problems observed above, we can see, that it's very important to increase the consistency of outcomes in tournaments, since there is too much luck involved. Which means, that pro-scene has to play a lot more rounds in a tournament. Like three times more at least? Or we have to dramatically increase all heroes hp, like make it twice more for all heroes and somehow balance it. Tanks are way more consistent in this game on all accounts even in damage output, that's why it's broken by design. If this issue will be addressed, then we can weight outcomes more seriously. But wait! It won't be fun to watch, right?
    It can become an e-sport if the netcode will become godly optimized and/or networking hardware will allow for higher tickrate and proper movement acceleration. In the current state proper Overwatch as an e-sports is GOATS or anything non hitscan, but the community does not want to see that.
    You also have to buy the game while it has microtransactions like a free-to-play game would have. Blizzard were so salty about dota and wanted their own Team Fortress+Dota as quickly as possible, so they even abandoned their project Titan and started to quickly roughly somehow make overwatch with no idea what were they doing exactly anyway. "Let's just use wc3 formula, just let's add a lot of diversity make it all flashy, then we will somehow sort it out."
    Maybe, just maybe, Blizzard was thinking years ahead. But I don't believe that. Game theory does not work that way. I would believe a story about that Overwatch core ideas were created by salesmen who don't even play games or they are really bad and basic at the games, that is why they simply threw away core fps gameplay mechanics without understanding what they are doing. And after a while they have listened to pro players talking about that the game is mechanically unfun, then they listened to devs talking about that it's technically impossible, and then they went 'ok, let's just continue with our marketable rainbow vomit'
    Annd they started to add so many dps classes, so it's now progressively harder to perform consistently in dps-role, the entry level is absurd for dps-role, and probably there will be more balance changes that will shift everything again. Also at some point your main will get nerfed into oblivion - that will happen, that's how balance made by salesmen works. And you will feel betrayed for putting so many hours into playing your favorite hero. It's like taking away the reward you deserve.

    Overly complex, frustratingly hard to track piece. Designed with no other thought than to attract with colors and diversity without any understanding how a competitive fps works. This **** monster can never lift off without a retarded amount of investment, because you can't attract a lot of viewers and players to something that is not even fun to aspire to.

    Cual es el problema entonces?

    Contras: El juego como no tenia competitivo se lo agregaron, le hicieron full propagandas de que el competitivo era el mejor y ibas a sentir un progreso, que estaba super pulido, pero no lo está, quedas en un rango del 1 al 5000 y vas subiendo y bajando 500 puntos de donde quedaste, si subis mucho te empieza a poner con trolls, leavers,lvls bajos, niños y te desconecta de las partidas sin razon alguna, cualquier persona de la comunidad te lo puede confirmar, y si bajas muchisimo te va regalando las partidas por que las podes carrear tranquilamente.

    Yo me volví adicto a este juego y estoy tratando de dejarlo, es un sufrimiento el competitivo, subís con esfuerzo viendo videos, practicando y ganas 2 partidas para perder 4 por que no te emparejan bien

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Графика отличная-за это 1 балл, остальное слито в унитаз, особенно баланс игры.
    1) в команду тебе будут закидывать вечно криворуких атакующих, а против тебя чуть ли не про геймеров (не касается серверов америки-там с этим все нормально)
    2)твои атакующие ни разу не посмотрят назад, даже если их буду бить сзади(даже если сказать в чат-они его закроют, гениально)
    3)танки в защите НЕ БЕРУТ ЩИТЫ ,классика
    4)читеры и фидеры в каждом втором матче(не шутка, мне частенько присылали слова благодарности на репорт очередного читака)
    итого-я удаляю эту игру навсегда, сколько бы не ждал выправления баланса.это мусорное ведро не исправится никогда    … Expand

    I started this game during the open beta in 2016 and played it religiously for two years. I really thought this game was it; it was the one for me. As of 2020 it has unfortunately lost its charm, even with the improvements Blizzard tried to add. Compared to other games, like CS:GO or LoL, it is not fun to play occasionally or to casually get back to the game once in a while, at least for me.

I have played over 500 hours of overwatch, I used to have fun back then but now there are characters like doom, sombra, sigma, brigitte and moira that ruin the enjoyment of the game. These characters have a really low skill gap, are broken in they way they where designed and even some of them are op like doom that fits in both of these category.'s. Back then the only characters that where considered op and unfun to play agaisnt where sym, bastion and widowmaker and they still are which is the worst part. Sometimes items thrown, projectiles and even bullets dissapear from the air when you die which makes it really stupid. One example of a badly made hitbox is genji's dash since the body has a hurtbox and where you started the dash has a hurtbox and other animations that require you to activatelike genjis deflect, orisa's fortify, mccree flashbang, reaper wraith, tracers entire kit of ability's have a start up timer that the game doesn't tell you or show you so while you're starting these ability's they don't work for half a second and the game even lies to you on replay's that you did not use any ability's. doom fist and his entire kit has stupid hitboxes that make no sense, when Moira is locked on into you while damaging the tether stays for a second while you break the tether that's placed on you with a wall, sombras hack which is a really stupid and unfair ability continues to do the animation and ends up hacking you even when you shoot her (which disables the hacking process) and it continues even when you try to break it with a wall like Moira's damage tether, widow maker is just unfun to play against IF the widow is decent with her since she camps back lines with heals and his team because she's a sniper and she has the ability to one shot almost all of the DPS and the healers, so you have to always hug walls against her and someone has to end up dealing with her even do allot of widow maker players are toxic and get pocketed by a healer. doom can one shot any DPS and/or healer and run away since his whole kit gives him allot of mobility, damage and gives him shields with is like extra health, Brigitte requires no skill to play even do she stuns you, hits you through anything but walls and can push you away when fighting her. There's allot more but it would take me too much time to say, but what I'm trying to say is: This game is badly balanced, terribly designed including the maps, the game is filled with toxic players and if someone throws on comp your whole team loses and reporting that person afterwards doesn't do anything but give you a "Thank you for you report" note which makes comp is the worst game mode in the game. Honestly I would not recommend anyone this game to anyone and I have put so many hours into it just to "Get good" to just feel angry and depressed whenever I die and lose on this game, even do when i win I don't feel anything.… Expand

    Blizzard you are actual dumbasses. I am so pissed at you. I literally lag out of a competitive game, rejoin and end up winning the game, yet you still remove 100 SR OFF MY ACCOUNT That I quite frankly worked hard for. Fix your dumbass comp system, maybe somehow inplement a detector that detects whether a play has LAGGED OUT or intentionally left. Oh wait but you can’t be bothered

    This is the Super Smash Bros. of FPS. 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. One of the best shooters of the decades for being innovative and breaking the mould and with a fantastic art style.

    Literally the worst developers when it comes to nerfing characters. Tracer's blink regens too quick, mei reloads too quick, zarya regens her bubble too quick and charges too fast. Moira can literally get her ultimate in 30 seconds of the game. Worst **** developers and whoever made Tracer and Mei can go kill themself

    For the kind of game it is, it's good. But only with friends. If you have a good-sized friend group by all means you should all get it and play together, but the community is pretty toxic and playing alone isn't very fun

    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.
