    Overwatch WAS great - for a while, it was the best multiplayer game out there, but sadly, Blizzard ruined it. New charecters that are added feel stale, role queue makes the game unfun to play casually, and Overwatch is getting a sequel that adds little to no content. This is still a fun game, but in its current state, I can't reccomend anybody to buy it.

    Poor gameplay, no synergy between the characters (which means lack of depth to the game), awful matchmaking, lots of smurfs, toxic community, useless reporting system (you'll get reported for simply being good at the game and might get banned if you get a considerable amount of reports) etc. etc.
    Don't waste your money on this garbage. It's just as **** as any other blizzard game has been

    I originally wrote a review here and I feel like I need to revise it, This game as of late has become completely unplayable. Not in a sense that you cant play it but in the sense that the game itself makes you not want to play it. I didn't think the matchmaking system could get any worse but it seems to have.

The system if you don't know is designed around a 50/50 win loss ratio but as of the last few weeks before writing this it has changed to 10/90 win/loss. That is ridiculous. Now I don't know what system they use to choose who gets put in the majority win or the majority loss group but from what I've seen of reviews its either people losing excessively or winning excessively. Blizzard has completely destroyed this game from what it used to be and honestly as of writing this I love the gameplay and concept of the game itself, but I don't think I can keep playing it for sanity sake. I just don't want to play a game to have a good time only to end up having loss after loss ruin the little time I have for gaming, good job blizzard you really are a horrible company now. Expand

    There is no balance in the game! What happened to Blizzard? It's all style over substance now.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Casual playing is fun, but there is no team play. Competitive gameplay has team play, but a toxic community with super competitive no lifers.

I feel like you will have better luck than me if your better at shooters than me though and are able to get a higher rank (I went from gold to bronze in 1 day). Arcade & quick play are fun and don't make you want to throw your PC out the window, the modes are consistently changed making everything fun. Overall, overwatch is a decent game with the worst competitive mode I've ever seen, fun arcade mode and decent replay-ability. I'd say its worth 20-30 dollars, if you spend any more than that you got ripped of. Expand

    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.

That takes a way from being able to enjoy the game since you go on a 10 game losing streak because your team are a bunch of morons. 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

    One of the best multiplayer games I’ve played in a while. With new patches coming out to balance hero’s and the introduction of role cue, the game honestly feels great. Ranked matches are fun and generally pretty quick, most of the toxicity in the community has died down completely and I generally enjoy talking to people in game.

    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.

The game does have its problems, as they all do, and this game seems to get hit really hard from its growing pains. its community that seems impossible to please, but the balance does seem to be very hard to get tuned to a place where the majority of people can be happy. 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.

I look at other games with a purely multiplayer aspect and wonder where all the money is going from lootboxes. TO start, most games like this are at least free. LoL, TF2, DOTA2, SMITE, and more. Then on top of that you can't just outright buy cosmetics which isn't a good feeling.

    But the real letdown comes from the utter dearth of content. For $40-$60 you'd think they would add new characters, maps and gametypes on the regular, but no. In the 3 years this game has released, they finally have over 30 characters to choose from. LoL, an indie game(at the time) released for free with 50 unique characters.

    Again, lootboxes are a cash cow for this game. They make millions on this game. Yet somehow on the regular that money disappears into thin air. The servers often glitch out and do odd things like boot you from the game, while still being able to chat with everyone in the game, or randomly swap you to the other team 3 seconds before you were about to win.

    Another big gripe is the moderation. I have encountered dozens of people who just belittle you for no reason even in the non-competitive mode, but people get banned on the regular for saying "GG WP".

    Events are the same every year. Halloween event in particular is one that was fun for a while the first year, but 3 years in a row and you unintentionally memorize the exact spawns of enemies.

    Blizzard is known for their ability to tell grand stories and flesh them out with amazing cinematic sequences and character interaction to progress the story. In 3 years this game has had the most underwhelming cinematics(that you have to hunt down on youtube because they aren't even in the game anywhere to watch). The stories are often non-canon just for things like Christmas and Halloween too. In the end the world is very sparse and almost no progress has been made in telling it. Hell, half the characters have yet to have any story told.

    From a gameplay stance, it is a decently entertaining casual level of competitive combat. If you want to go MLG pro, there are a couple characters for that, and some easy mode characters if you aren't super good at aiming which is nice.

    Balance in the game is a joke. They have reworked one of the characters like 3 times at this point, and it makes you wonder why they can't get it right with just tweaking numbers.

    In the end, this game is not worth the money no matter how you look at it. I'd just suggest playing Paladins, or find another game.

    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.

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.

    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.

    Just a handful of things that make Overwatch a 0/10 game, in no particular order:

    - queue times are crazy (15+ minutes to find a game is the norm in most popular modes; in less popular ones it can go beyond 60 minutes) - it's extremely repetitive, and not in a fun way: you shoot at endless shields for 2 minutes then all 12 players use their ultimate abilities all at once and one team

    - queue times are crazy (15+ minutes to find a game is the norm in most popular modes; in less popular ones it can go beyond 60 minutes)
    - it's extremely repetitive, and not in a fun way: you shoot at endless shields for 2 minutes then all 12 players use their ultimate abilities all at once and one team dies, rinse and repeat; Overwatch is as uninteractive as a game can be
    - most maps are garbage and there is no map vote
    - most maps are basically the same long tunnel-like structure except reskinned
    - your weapon covers up half the screen and you can't hide it
    - the matchmaker forces a 50% winrate (the more you win, the worse teammates you get); in practice, this means that all matches are one-sided stomps with only one team having a fighting chance (you know a game's bad when even winning doesn't feel good because you can clearly tell your win was forced by the matchmaker and you just pressed some buttons to achieve the inevitable outcome, losing's even worse but only slightly)
    - the power level of heroes is out of balance; less than half of the 30-hero roster is playable
    - the game has a report system that punishes players automatically based on just the number of reports submitted against them; what this basically means is that there is a neverending global kickvote against you that only stops when you get kickbanned and resumes as soon as you come back (!!!); because the system is fully automated, false/excessive reporting doesn't get punished resulting in people submitting reports on a whim meaning if you play the game a lot, you WILL eventually get suspended just because (this sounds like a sad joke but it's the truth; I suspect they introduced this asinine system to "encourage" you to purchase additional copies of the product)
    - the competitive mode is an absolute joke; solo and group queues are combined (not joking!!!) and it's common to see people from three different skill tiers in the same match (a byproduct of the game having very few players left I guess, but still: this shouldn't ever be allowed to happen)
    - the game is pretty much in maintenance mode; new content is sparse and typically makes the game even worse than it was before (for example, new maps they add are typically just reskinned old maps that nobody liked and new heroes are just a combination of several existing heroes which makes these old heroes largely obsolete)

    The time to get into and play Overwatch was at release and ~6 months thereafter. That's when the game had a healthy playerbase and was actually fun to play. Now it's dead. $19.99 (its current price) isn't much but why flush that money down the toilet? It'll probably go free-to-play soon anyway. Plus, mobile-focused loot box peddlers like Activision-Blizzard don't deserve your money.

It has become a "Oh they are that person, that means I need to be this person" or else risk getting yelled at by a team of pent up anger filled soy boys who rather than talk little bits or trash, explode in a fit of tantrum only rivaled by Stew Shivers in 1987 in a Washington D.C. Toys-R-Us. This also stems back to a system in the game called (Reporting for Abusive Chat) Something anyone is free to report and without any drawback at all. Want to mess with someone's account? Tell everyone in chat to report them for Abusive Chat and once 10 is reached they are auto silenced by a system that has little to no checks and balances. The way the game is structured gives you a sense that you are doing so much better than all others. To the point where everyone ends up just talking down to one another and ends in someone being a child and throwing a game just to spite one person.

    Avoid this game at all costs at risk of you kicking a puppy while walking the streets, due to OSTD (Overwatch Stupid Team Disorder) You cant yell at them so you end up taking it out on the world.

Competitive isn't exactly my cup of tea since season 9. The meta is simply too harsh and people are often too serious and/or butthurt in the diamond and master ranks.

    There is currently one mayor issue with this game however, and that's new content. Each event has less and less content with every year that goes by. Lucioball 4 times in a row and only 4 new legendary skins? That's a no from me. They are puting too much focus on the OWL, and the community suffers from this by the lack of content and slow updates. The comics as well as the cinematic trailers are very hard to come by as well. The last time a new cinematic popped up was almost 9 months ago.

    That's why I'm giving this game a 4.5/10.

The graphics are also amazing and you don't need a very powerful computer to play the game. I also like that the developer continues to introduce new characters and the re-balance the game with updates.

    This game is just totally garbage.
    Terrible game modes and heavily one-sided matches, toxic community and too based on cordinating the boring ultimates. This isn't a skilled FPS gamer's game.

    Still such a brilliant game. I really enjoy picking it up in bursts. If you need an addictive game then get this! I love the different types of characters and really enjoy playing different game modes. Only criticism is that there are plenty of toxic players and it gets annoying. Also, the first 10 matches for competitive ranking have really poor matchmaking. Sort that out Blizzard

    I was writing a long review on this and then I accidently hit the "back" button on my mouse mid way so the short version will have to do:

    ONLY TRY THIS GAME IF YOU'RE A CASUAL. STAY AWAY FROM IT IF YOU LIKE COMPETITIVE FPS.

    Gets old quickly. Don't understand the hype. It is probably is popular with more casual game players.

    Designed to encourage trolling. Imagine putting 8 year olds and older on 2 teams in a competitive team sport, and get rid of all the referees, and don't let teams kick players for bad behavior. That's Overwatch.

    No one would be suprised to see kids piledriving other kids, or pooping on the feild so they can laugh when their own team steps in it, or just sitting down and laughing watching

    No one would be suprised to see kids piledriving other kids, or pooping on the feild so they can laugh when their own team steps in it, or just sitting down and laughing watching their own team go nuts becaue they're a man down. 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.

    If only for its other flaws I would maybe rate it a 6/10, but there's one main thing that's ruining everything else - the game is rampant with hackers now.

    You'll get at least one in almost every game, 25-50% in any FFA mode (it's a haven for them because no one watches the kills cams because it cuts into your respawn time). Blizzard just doesn't care anymore. They're too desperate

    Blizzard just doesn't care anymore. They're too desperate to keep players, as their playerbase rapidly dwindles. I'm pretty sure more people watch OWL than actually play the game now.

    This game make EA blush. Literally the only reason to keep play is to unlock a lootbox, and even then you'll never get what you want. You can literally spend hundreds of dollars and never get one stupid skin that you want.

    Overwatch is a game that you can definitely have fun with, but I feel that you need friends who play as well for that and that playing solo is not all that rewarding. It doesn't really help that the game is structured like it should be a free to play game which makes some aspects less rewarding.

    At the time of writing this review Overwatch has more or less had its moment in the spotlight and interest around the game has dwindled. I wouldn't expect animated shorts from the game anymore honestly given how little weight the game's lore seems to carry.

    Overall this is a game that will likely lose its luster pretty quickly and isn't really worth it in my opinion if you don't have other people to play it with.

    For those considering to buy the game, DON'T. It's fck!ng TOXIC and the developers aren't doing SH!T about it but instead introduced an endorsement system which masks the issue at hand.

Report system doesn't do **** most of the time either because you just queue up with the same toxic players that really ruin your day. I am by no means a serious player either, just casual wanting to have fun BUT this game has reached an all time low where I login, play 1 game and log out immediately. Nothing fresh, no fun to offer. Heck I'd even play chess or mindsweep over this garbage.

    Oh look this guy's a level 3 endorsement he must be so nice" said no one ever. Only thing going for this game is the lore in my opinion and even so it's bl00dy slow. Would totally sell my account if it weren't tied to my other blizzard games. Been a huge blizzard fan but this ... is just DISAPPOINTING.

    If you don't believe me just look at all the other reviews. I'm writing this simply because I feel CHEATED by the trust I have for blizzard and hope that no one goes through this. Sincerely hoping blizzard sees this especially its on an external website where they do not have control over unlike their forums. I've given them the benefit of the doubt, messaged them, dropped them a ticket but the responses I've received is just nothing short of pure disappointment.

    I used to play this game quite a lot, but after a while I started to stop. I didn’t have things to do, the game just got boring. Sure there are different modes and other characters you can play that you’re not used too but I just didn’t want too. I couldn’t find away to be entertained as the game became less interesting, updates got worse, and the game progressively got more unbalanced.I used to play this game quite a lot, but after a while I started to stop.

    The main thing you need to know about Overwatch is that it's not a game, it's a coin toss. 50% enforced winrate is applied at all levels of play across all game modes. It's blatant because the collective level or skill rating on one team will always severely out class the other team, even though switching just 2 or 3 players could have easily balanced things out.

You'll win a few matches straight, then lose a few matches straight, with every game being a steamroll.

    To top things off, at this point there's at least one obvious aimbot in almost every game these days. You get to see their kill cam and it's the telltale twitchy, inhuman locked-on mouse movements, tracking through walls, etc., but reporting does nothing. Blizzard just does not care at this point. If anything, the hackers have probably been incorporated into the 50% winrate algorithm.

    I believe people praise this game way too much. It's nothing special. Overwatch borrows elements from probably the most toxic game genre - mobas.

Also, recently the game feels forgotten: the meta stays stale, it takes months for balance patches to roll out, and event are lacking in content, they only add skins. In addition Blizzard keeps pouring money into Overwatch league and feels like they have forgotten about the average player, because the game is only balanced for the pros. Expand

    This game is not as bad as some people say it is. I had a great first impression and I enjoyed my Quick Play and some Arcade matches. Just don't play Competitive if you're a casual player. I may have been upset with the game at some point, but I still have fun in my matches. The problem is that the game is still plagued with cheaters/throwers, and the automated ban system really should be removed.

    The community gets to the point where the only word I can think of is /disgusting/. Matches are lost as soon as you queue in because of trolls. Constant sexual harassment over voice chat from /adults/. And this is where customer service comes in. I've been banned twice. The first time, sure, I went off on someone who had been directing ugly comments at me. I'll take being silenced for a week. But please explain how I got banned again, 2 weeks after? For no reason?
    Bonus: They won't even tell you why you were banned. Thanks, Blizzard. Wouldn't recommend.
    Giving a 5 only because the lore is great and I truly enjoy the game when it's not toxic.

    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.
