    The best and most accessible multiplayer shooter I've ever played. High skill ceiling, but not inaccessible for newcomers.

    An original representative of the genre. The game is perfect in everything except support. There is little new content. But this does not make the game itself worse

    This is my favorite game of all time. The lore is great but the multi-player is what you wanna focus on since there is no story mode. The game is great and the gun and sword and power play feels great. The characters are absolutely amazing and inclusive. 10/10 play this alot to this day

    My favourite game of all time. One of the most fun multiplayer online shooters there it. And based on the amount of copy cats i would say its a great succes. With the launch of Overwatch 2 on the Horizon things look bright for the future.

    I love this game so much! I miss her after the release of the second part, which is just miserable. 600 hours of the most magnificent game on Anya forever in my memory! Everything is perfect in this game: animations, dialogues, interface, locations, peppy gameplay, chic music. I love whoever invented this game and hate Blizzard for destroying it.

The game includes 24 characters, each of which has a distinctive gameplay style and unique weapons and abilities. These characters are what make the game special.

    There are four broad classes of characters, though in practice, two of them are often treated interchangeably. There are “Offense” heroes, characters who are focused on high mobility and dealing out lots of damage quickly, and “defense” heroes, who are more focused on zone control and dealing damage at range. There are support heroes, who are healers (plus one character who feels more like a defense character and is treated as such by the player base), and tank heroes – big, tough heroes who can take a lot more damage than their comrades and who can protect other heroes in various ways.

    Within each of these, there is a lot of character variety. Offense heroes include heroes such as Tracer, a fast character who teleports around the battlefield and who can use a “recall” ability to rewind to her previous position and hit point status, whose gameplay centers around teleporting around enemies at close range and unloading her close-ranged weapons into them; Pharah, a character with a jetpack and a rocket launcher who can fly and shoot rockets at people; and Soldier 76, a fairly “normal” hero with a long-ranged assault rifle, the ability to sprint, and the ability to throw down a healing station on the ground and heal all nearby allies.

    Defense heroes include sniper characters like Widowmaker, who uses a Batman-like rappel hook to get into high spots and whose weapon can transform between an assault rifle and a sniper rifle; Bastion, who can transform between a walk-around mode that fights sort of like a standard FPS hero, and a sentry form, where it turns into a gatling gun and rapidly mows down its adversaries; and Mei, a character who can create temporary ice walls, freeze enemies with her ice gun (slowing, then stunning them), and shoot icicles from range.

    The support heroes range from Mercy, a character similar to the Medic from TF2 who heals a single nearby ally by pointing her stick in their general direction and holding it down to produce a healing beam, and who can fly around to allies in need of help, to characters like Zenyatta, a floating robotic monk who throws metal balls at his enemies while selecting individual allies to passively heal or enemies to passively debuff by causing them to take additional damage. Others include Lucio, a character who can ride off of walls and passively heal his allies by standing next to them, and Ana, a sniper who heals her allies by shooting them with her gun and who has a powerful tranquilizer dart which can temporarily put enemies to sleep until they take damage or as much as 8 seconds elapse.

    The tank heroes include Reinhardt, a huge man in heavy metal armor with an enormous hammer, no ordinary ranged attack (though he does have an ability to launch a fireball every once in a while), and a huge shield that his allies can stand behind; Winston, a genetically-engineered gorilla who rapidly jumps around the battlefield zapping people with an area of effect gun and dropping large spherical barriers to hide under; and Roadhog, a gigantic man with a hook who punishes enemies for approaching too close in the open or attacking his allies by dealing heavy damage to those nearby.

    These heroes work together as a hopefully coherent whole to try and complete map objectives. The game is heavily reliant on teamwork, and all of the heroes have their jobs to do. While everyone can deal damage, the specialities of various heroes result in different gameplay, with some characters acting as harassment, others as anchors who can protect their team and claim areas, others healing, and still others laying down large amounts of damage or inconveniencing the enemy team.

    The game revolves around fairly simple battlegrounds; there are maps about capturing points while the enemy team tries to stop you; there are maps about both teams trying to capture a control point between them; and there are maps about pushing a payload through them which heals attacking heroes while they stand on it while the other team tries to stop their progress. In competitive mode, the teams switch between offense and defense on the same map, first attacking, then defending, or vice-versa.

    Like all such games, this is not for everyone; after the first few hours with this game, even despite all of its seeming diversity, you will have seen just about everything the game has to offer. From there, it is all about mastery. How much enjoyment you get out of Overwatch is heavily dependent on when it goes from "fun with mastery" to "tedious repetition" for you, personally. If competitive multiplayer games bore you quickly, this will, too.    … Expand

    Overwatch brings back the fun back in shooters. Remember that? When shooters actually were fun? Before they got bogged down in military shooters "ad naseum", like COD and Battlefield?

Before they got bogged down in military shooters "ad naseum", like COD and Battlefield? Before everything had to be so damn serious and "realistic"? Before you had to grind levels to unlock weapons and attachments just to stand a chance? Before you had to have reflexes like a mongoose to get a kill or calculate the Coriolis effect when firing? When shooters actually were "casual" and for all skill levels, rather than a group of elitist jerks with too much time on their hands? When it was about up close-up mayhem and carnage rather drawn out sniping duels over miles of distance? Blizzard took a long, hard look at the state of shooters and had the courage to throw out the tropes and do something new. Yes, Overwatch borrows ideas and concepts from other shooters and games but Blizzard puts their own spin on them polishes them to brilliant sparkling gems. I haven't had this fun in a shooter for ages and it takes me back to the early days of Quake, Half-Life and Unreal Tournament, it's mayhem at it's finest. It's beautiful, polished and oh so much fun. Two thumbs up!

    Update! After reading some of the negative reviews here I thought I'd adress some of the, in my opinion, unfair and whiny complaints.

    THERE IS NO SINGLE PLAYER!

    Blizzard made it very clear from the start that this was a multiplayer game ONLY so whining about single player makes no sense at all. That's like going to an Indian restaurant and then complaining that they don't serve Italian food.

    THERE IS NOT ENOUGH CONTENT!

    What? 21 superbly crafted characters, 12 maps and four game modes is not enough? I'm sorry, I'll take a highly polished gem over a dinosaur-sized turd any time of the day. Quantity does not equal quality. Also, remember when TF2 was released? It only had 3 game modes, 6 maps and still only has 10 characters.

    THE GAME IS UNBALANCED!

    Not it's not. Granted, a character might need a minor tweak here and there but for the most part I'm astounded how balanced the characters are. However, one of the core concepts of this "rock-paper-scissors"-game is that you must change character as needed during a match and a team must have a balanced composition. Only offense characters in your team with no tank, healer or defense? You don't want to change character from your precious Reaper/? Then expect get beaten, often and thoroughly and you deserve it.

    MATCHMAKING IS BROKEN

    No it's not. And no, there is no Blizzard conspiracy to keep you at a 50/50 win/loss ratio. Game Director Jeff Kaplan addressed most of these complaints in the Blizzard forum and they turned out to be nothing but conspiracy theories and hot air. Remember, level does not equal skill.    … Expand

Everything is mostly there that you'd want from an arena shooter.

    I have some particular criticisms that I want to levy here, though.
    1. There are wild variations in TTK that are a little inexplicable. The primary attack on many Heroes weapons seem to have a TTK from around 5-10 seconds. Yet other abilities will 1 or 2 second gib enemies. Some weapons are 1HK! There seems a lack of consistency here, and the power of attacks isn't telegraphed (you'll have to learn all of this by playing many hours).
    2. The game doesn't communicate to you which weapons are hitscan and which are projectiles. Furthermore, the projectiles and hit boxes are much larger than they appear. It can be confusing for new players who don't understand the hitbox sizes.
    3. There's little incentive to master more than a couple of characters. they are all very different and you'll find that playing a character you aren't good at can make your team lose the match.
    4. Lack of competitive mode. It's a shame the game didn't launch with competitive. It's hugely important and will possibly effect the score of the game.

    The positives:
    1. Good voice acting. Every character has a good unique voice.
    2. Well optimized graphics.
    3. Interesting weapons and abilities. There's something for everyone.
    4. Good cosmetic purchase options. For people who like that sort of thing.
    5. Robust and quick matchmaking and friend/grouping options.

    Allowing you to change hero's during the game makes you consider counters and synergy's whilst during the match, making this game not only a beautiful game with incredibly fun gun-play but also a great team based FPS that places emphasis on teamwork and smart decision making whilst in the match.

If you want a single/solo experience, it may not be for you seeing as there's no campaign, but the reality is the mechanics are fantastic, the teamplay dynamics are stupendous, and the characters are so varied and unique that there's a reason to pick up and play everyone at some point. There's a play style for everyone.

    The game emphasizes team work and going for the objective as opposed to straight up eliminations and the game is all the better for it. You have to work strategically and try to fill gaps where your teammates roster has them, or swap to characters who can counter your opponents (see Genji as a counter vs. Bastion). Matches last a nice amount of time ranging from 5-15 minutes which is perfect, and having loot/micro transactions locked purely to cosmetics is a welcome point. There's no reason to do a micro transaction unless you really want to try unlocking stuff faster but otherwise you'll be all set.

    Hard not to recommend this game as it scratches every itch I have for a multiplayer shooter.

    TL;DR, if you love Team Fortress 2, you've found the next iteration for the new generation in Overwatch. Buy.    … Expand

    It's not going to win any prizes for innovation, although the characters require diverse playstyles and the maps are outstanding. There is stuff that looks like it's been directly lifted from Tf2.

    The hero roster is great, the maps are well designed, the gameplay is very fluid and satisfying. Although there could be more game modes or some extra dynamic events on the maps, the package is quite solid as it is.

    Okay, I'd like to start off this review by reminding everyone that, while this game has seemingly little content, it comes cheaper than a lot of AAA titles in recent years that have roughly the same amount of content. Plus, Blizzard has said that everything that is added to the game from here on will be free (granted that might change, but I doubt it).

Plus, Blizzard has said that everything that is added to the game from here on will be free (granted that might change, but I doubt it). So I would say, think of it as a long term investment where all you do is pay $40 up front, get eight maps, 4 game modes, and 21 unique heroes. To put that in perspective, $40 in a MOBA like League of Legends gets you maybe half that many characters, with only one map and game mode. So yes, Overwatch costs money for what doesn't seem like a lot of content. But compared to how much some people will spend in a supposedly Free-to-Play game, and especially compared to games that continue to charge you for new content, it's a great deal, and I believe it's a great investment, as well.

    Now, onto the part most people actually give a crap about: The gameplay. Every hero is unique in how they're played, and every character has their role to play. There are six Offense heroes, who are mostly fast and intended for close range combat, six Defense heroes, designed to remain in advantageous positions and prevent the enemy from taking their objective, five Tanks which have high health and defense (at the cost of lower attack) that are designed to soak up damage and protect their teammates, and four Support heroes which are designed to keep their allies alive and their enemies at a disadvantage. Some Heroes are a little more difficult to get the hang of than others, as they require quick reflexes, precision aiming, excellent timing, or prior planning if escape is needed.

    I could go into further detail about powers and weapons, but that'd take up more time than is necessary, so I won't. But the gameplay is solid and most of the characters are balanced (a couple of the tanks do more damage than they should, and some Ultimates are a little underpowered), and the game modes, while limited to four different types (payload escort, objective capture, king of the hill, and objective capture w/ payload escort) are all really fun, and so far every game I've played has been incredibly intense. No single player story, but really, what kind of story could you have for a game like this, anyways?

    On top of solid gameplay and interesting heroes, the game looks really nice, everything is nicely polished and the art style is very pleasant to look at.Not much else I can put on top of that, it just looks great.

    Overwatch is a very addictive, fast gameplay FPS. They could have gone the F2P and micro-transaction approach and likely made more money with hero and skin unlocks for a monetary value or earned in game currency.

I really commend Blizzard from staying away from this model for a number or reasons. Primarily, this filters out many trolls instantly.

    The level of detail on mechanics of the game by Blizzard is hard to match by any other company. Each individual character feels absolutely polished and unique in their skillset. Movement and shooting are extremely smooth, which is paramount in a game such as this one.

    Balance is fairly spot on. You will get many in game saying that Reinhardt is OP, but there's easy counters to him that will subsequently shut him down easily. Each character can be very strong in different scenarios, but there are definite counters to each. Torbjörn also comes to mind on defense. He is very strong if you continue to select characters and run into turret fire.

    I think this game will start to really shine as people hit the level to go into competitive ranked play and will make for a very entertaining E-Sport.

The character lore is where this really sets the game apart, as each character has an interesting backstory (more of which is to be revealed) and interesting character interactions. Blizzard promises new heroes, maps, game modes, skins, and more with no extra cost to the user so I am excited for the future of this game. With the digital shorts and comics, Overwatch is poised to be much more than just a team based shooter game.… Expand

    1. Blizzard never marketed this game to have a campaign. If you saw any article pre-release, which was pretty hard to avoid, as advertisements were (and are) everywhere, you'd know that Overwatch is a multiplayer-only game. No one EVER said that this game was going to have a single player campaign.

    2. People are complaining about the game having no competitive mode at launch. This is a valid point, although the strategy Blizzard went with isn't horrible. Many people gave feedback during the beta about how to improve the ranked and spectator systems, and Blizzard are still working on it. As a personal opinion, I don't mind that they launched the game without competitive ONLY because it is launching so soon after release; competitive's release is slated for the end of June. I've been having fun in quick play learning how the game works and how the characters play. Even if Overwatch did come with ranked at launch, I wouldn't have jumped into it without being adept at the game anyway.

    3. People are saying that the game should be F2P (free to play) but they must not know what that actually entails. F2P games give you a few free characters, with other characters on a rotation that shifts every so often, and the rest (often the best ones) are locked behind a paywall. Also behind this paywall are downloadable content and everything else. Blizzard has promised all upcoming DLC (characters, maps, etc) will be free. In the end, a one-time payment with all content included in the purchase is better than a F2P model.

    4. I've read several reviews about the game being aimed at casual players and/or lacking content. These arguments are misguided. First off, this game has a lot of depth and a high skill ceiling. In the coming months, people are going to start finding new tech and new ways to use characters that will only push the ceiling higher. Like Rocket League or Super Smash Bros Melee, Overwatch can be a sort of party game that low-level players can enjoy, but also a game with huge esports potential. If Blizzard can listen to the community and get the ranked/spectator systems right, Overwatch could gain a large esports following. Second, the game has one unranked mode, training, custom games, and an "arcade" mode, which some suggest constitutes a lack of content. I agree that the game is lacking content, but what people fail to understand is that a ton of content =/= a ton of replayability. The core game mechanics of this game make every match feel fresh. The objectives are the same, but the way I've been approaching them is different every time. There are so many different viable team compositions and ways to play that Overwatch's replayability is massive. I'll use Rocket League again as an example, and this counts for all sports games as well: The maps are the same, the objectives are the same, but every match feels different because the games' mechanics allow the player to be creative in how they approach them, and it's past-paced and just plain fun.

    This is my unbiased opinion (I've never played a Blizzard game before and therefore have no company loyalty) and I hope this helps people to understand why this game is so good.    … Expand

    The game is fairly well polished and optimized, but can be pretty glitchy at times.
    The game has quite a few characters by now, which promotes varied gameplay, but unfortunately Blizzard is atrociously slow at balancing them. After reworks or new characters are added, it takes months for them to become balanced. Brigitte is the newest example of this, the character is broken af and has caused many tank mains (myself included) to stray away from tanking because she can screw them over without even needing to touch the keyboard.
    Competitive in Overwatch isn't particularly good (I personally loathe it). There's no form of role queuing, so you often end up with with 3-4 DPS mains (since DPS players make up the vast majority of the playerbase).
    Overwatch has annual events where you can unlock limited time cosmetics by playing or buying loot boxes, they also usually feature special arcade modes.
    Overwatch has some pretty nice social features, there's both voice and text chat (the text chat is only available on PC though), and you can easily stay in touch with people you meet outside of the game as well due to the social features of the launcher.

    Regardless of my many gripes with this game, I've come to love it due to the varied gameplay and memorable characters, and I would highly recommend trying it out.    … Expand

Your success in Overwatch is directly related to your teams lineup and how well you work together. Playing solo may result in some very bad games if your team isn't wanting to work together. Playing with groups of friends will be much more enjoyable. Currently Overwatch only has Quick Matches and personal ranks but they plan to add a full ranked mode for people who want to take it seriously.
    The design behind Overwatch is done so perfectly, Everything from sound to characters it all just works so well together. Audio queues will let you know if someone is using a Ultimate or even the foots steps of a specific hero. Not much bad can be said when it comes to this aspect of Overwatch.
    One of the only things you can complain about with Overwatch is Matchmaking and team builds. Nothing is more discouraging then getting destroyed by a full grouped team over and over or getting paired up against people much higher level players. This will hopefully be fixed with the addition of competitive mode. Also having team stack one hero can make a game unplayable...some of the builds you can make up are nothing but torture.

However to simply call the game a first person shooter would be a disservice. Blizzard has crafted a game in this emergent genre of 'hero shooters/arena shooters; that borrows the best ideas from other games in the genre like Team Fortress 2. Blizzard has put their own spin on it to make it a fresh experience. The art style is fantastic too and is primed for a feature length film. It really is some gorgeous stuff and I don't think its an stretch to say that the visuals themselves would look at home in a Pixar film.

    The performance is rock solid as well. The game has been incredibly well optimized and features one of the most robust suites of options I have seen in a PC game. This feels like it was built from the ground up for PC. You can customize damned near any key. You also can adjust key-bindings at the hero level. Yup, you have a set of key-bindings for each of the 21 heroes currently in the game. You can also customize the shape, and color of the on screen reticle. Its this attention to detail that shows in just about every area of the game.

    Overwatch centers its focus on its heroes and how their abilities can be used with and against other heroes. Its focus on team composition and allowing you to swap heroes gives the game incredible depth and an underlying layer of player choice and strategy.

    The game features a variety of modes such as training, practices vs. AI, as well as quick play. Within these modes the actual game types themselves can consist of things like payload (familiar to fans of TF2), capture point and King of the hill style matches. One of the criticisms leveled against the game is lack of content. I would agree with this statement if it was in regards to the number of modes themselves. But not every game needs a single player campaign. I feel that with the number of heroes on display here, a single player campaign would have diluted the multiplayer experience. Jeff Kaplan of Blizzard also pointed out that support heroes like Mercy would be tough to work into a single player campaign because of their nature as support heroes.

    I would like to see more modes added over time. Perhaps Capture the flag. I don't think Team Death-match would fit well either. Blizzard has smartly decided to de-emphasize kills and kdr in favor of promoting team play. What is odd however is that the majority of the 'play of the game' are from people/heroes who rack up a lot of kills.

    The game features a commendation system which on its own doesn't really mean much. But it can be nice to get commendations from your team mates if you do a good job of healing. It also has things like "damage blocked." It is a way of saying hey look how well you did your job, or performed your role.

    The game features a progression system that gives you a loot box when you level up. These drops can be anything ranging from currency to skins, avatars, sprays, voice lines or victory poses. Its all superfluous but it is a nice way of customizing your character and making it your own. The game does have micro-transactions but these are only for loot boxes which are at the end of the day cosmetic stuff and don't impact the game itself. My initial concern is that the more games you play the higher the chance you will get duplicates from loot boxes. Fortunately those duplicates do reward you gold which can then be used towards something else you don't have.

    In the end Overwatch is a fantastic well crafted game despite needing a few more modes. Blizzard have created a solid platform to build upon and have stated that future heroes and maps will be free which is very welcome indeed. Multiplayer only games can struggle to find success. Overwatch however has enough depth in its gameplay that it never felt repetitive.    … Expand

    I had no interest in Overwatch for the many months that it was in Closed Beta, then the open beta came around and I gave it a whirl. I knew beforehand that it's a purely team-based pvp game with a diverse cast of "heroes" with a coupe of abilities. I had no idea how the game felt when played thou.

    I was blown away, the responsiveness is great and it feels amazing, you feel in control of everything you do and when you fail you feel you could've done better and not blame the controls or mechanics.

    The heroes are amazing, the character design and art style is stellar and all of it feels very polished (in true Blizzard style).

    At launch you get 21 unique heroes on 12 maps with 2-4 game modes. I say 2-4 because there are basically only 2 game modes with slight variations that could be considered an extension to 4 game modes.

    The game revolves around team play, all modes are centered around 6 vs 6 and coordinating with your team on the fly can be very rewarding. Naturally quick plays with random people can and will often end in disaster with a "fluster cluck" of people doing everything but what the objective is on the map.

    The game also revolves around being able to change heroes on the fly every time you die in order to counter whatever your enemy team throws at you. There are some iffy plays such as 6 of the same heroes (yes you can have more than one of one type of hero in a team) that require an almost full team of hard counter heroes to pummel into non-existence and that can be difficult to agree on with a random array of players.

    Each hero has a few abilities unique to them with an "Ultimate" skill that for many/most classes can turn the tables in a match if played out right. Very satisfying to pull of your skills just right and throw the ultimate just right (each ultimate is different and has its own role and synergy). Exploring the synergies between heroes makes for endless, potentially satisfying, plays that keep you going from match to match.
    Speaking of matches, the extremely fast pace of the game makes for a very small average match time of about 7-9 minutes which is great and lets you get past that bitter defeat (that you will likely run into..) and move to another match.

    Many reviews I've seen here from disgruntled users talk about how the game lacks content for the price point of 40/60 dollars (40 on pc, 60 on consoles). I was slightly inclined to agree when it dawned me that I actually consider it to have enough content for the 40 dollar price tag on pc at least.

    Firstly the game was advertised as a purely competitive pvp experience and no pve, even thou the cinematic "trailers" could lead you to believe it might have....
    The closed beta has been going on for ages and anyone interested in the game should have already known this, and what the game will launch with, this was common and basic info available to everyone.

    Secondly, when people say "I got bored of the same modes on the same 12 maps in a few hours" I don't understand it, does a FIFA fan get bored of the same exact mode of play ? Does a CS player get bored ? This game is hugely varied by comparison to most competitive, no progression (no leveling, no items) games out there. I and, I assume, many like me, play for the situations I'm put in with my team mates. I'm trying various classes in various situations and having a blast.

    One thing to note is that there is some alleged net code "issues" discussions floating around. Those are actually Blizzard's choice on how to approach the netcode of their game, weather it's the best choice or not remains to be seen and if needed I'm sure Blizzard will tweak it.

    Fun and light, lots of characters to try out that feel unique. A campaign would have been great, but for $40 i cant really complain. Just an overall easy to pick up and play game.

    I wasn't going to write a review, but some of the negative ratings surprised me with their arguments, the most often cited of which is the opinion that this game should be F2P or isn't worth the money because it's PvP and doesn't have a story.

    Obviously, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I am surprised to find that some people think that the devs don't deserve 40€ (or according to some, no money at all) for this game simply because it's PvP and because of the low number of game modes. I don't know why it should be a set standard that every PvP game needs to be F2P or can only cost a certain amount of money.

    In my opinion, the characters are well balanced and well designed, and the characters that need a slight nerf or buff are already in the process of being subject to that change. I love the diversity of their functions in the context of teamplay. I love the gameplay and the sound design. And after 40 hrs of playing this game, I have as much fun playing it now as I did when it was released only a few weeks ago.

    Already now, I feel like I have gotten my money's worth and Blizzard did an extremely good job of delivering a new and addictive FPS experience for me. For anyone who's looking for a TF2-inspired FPS, I can recommend this game wholeheartedly.    … Expand

Having said that many people don't look past their initial impressions and dive deep into really looking game they decide to pay $60 dollars for. I have read reviews of people who when into Overwatch having not played the beta, having not seen game play, having not done any sort of research whatsoever and rated it obscenely poorly because they felt gypped when it was clearly their own fault for a poor allocation of their funds. $60 dollars is a lot. Is this game worth that much? I can't say that everyone would feel that way at least now but that doesn't affect that I feel the gameplay, the visuals, the score and the fun isn't worth the time and money I have put into it. There is more to come and many consumers haven't bothered to check that there isn't going to be 'only' 21 characters. They will be releasing more as the game's life cycle grows completely free. I can't imagine that the map count would be any different especially since that seems to be the way map content in games is shifting. I didn't see anyone complaining about 343 giving out all of their maps in Halo 5 for free. Another gripe I have been seeing is the lack of anything unlock-able. I get that. But if that is all that drives you play Call of Duty, play Battlefield. Don't come into a game with preconceived notions that have no basis because you decided not to check it out before you blew your money and called it a crap game. It just makes you look stupid. All in all, this game is great. $60 dollars is a lot for a game period. For this game maybe a little more than that but wait it out. Do your research. Feel it out. Play it at a friends house first and if you don't like it, don't get it. If you do then sweet! You have a ton of people to play with that I know will be enjoying it just as much as you. This game is great. Lacking in a ton of content at the moment but when has Blizzard not been known to put out more? It'll come soon™. Definitely worthy of a high score.… Expand

    Overwatch is an Arena Team Based Shooter with MOBA skills into it, so making comparisons with Battleborn makes no sense. That being said, the game is solid. Graphics are cartoonish and stylish, especially noticeable is that you will always understand what is going on on your screen and that's really important in a game like this. Content-wise there is not so much right now but I do think that is not a real problem, first because Blizzard is always updating their games, second because what is important is the gameplay.
    Gameplay-wise is where Overwatch shines the most. Fast-paced, skill-based and team compositions are fundamental aspects of the game, so it is highly recommended to play with friends. Each character feels unique and needs a different degree of training to be properly used, also the idea that you can swap characters during the match makes counter attacks much easier and avoids unnecessary boredom from people who cannot use that specific hero, if you are not good, you just change to someone more suited and go right back into the action. Apart from balanced issues (get ready to be headshoted everywhere by Hanzos in a few weeks) one problem is the absence of the sprint button for all heroes (apart Soldier 76), this leads to long walking times, but at the same time, it allows to be careful to engage because you cannot run so quickly off the action. Maps are pretty easy to memorize but have some nice "twists", like certain areas can be access quicker only by some heroes, increasingly the importance of a balance team.
    I still have to understand how Blizzard was able to develop a game that feels "easy" in both the mechanics and the settings while still having a lot of depth, the game designers are pretty good at their jobs I would say,
    Overall, Overwatch feels like a really polished game. Matchmaking is fast (only one time had connections problem and always zero lag at day one). Grab a couple of friends and jump in, this game will stay on the market for a long time so no worries about new content.

    Outstanding game, it's going to be a huge success for Blizzard and push eSports even further. The maps are well made along with an excellent cast of characters. Each of which feels unique yet effective in different ways, and none feel overpowered as each has their weaknesses or weakness against characters.

    Overwatch is probably the most fun I've had with a shooter in, well, forever. Seriously. Now, this isn't saying all that much, as I'm only 15 and I'm generally not a huge fan of FPS titles, but this is a really, really fun game. For those of you who just want my score and a quick summary, I won't make you scroll down to the bottom of the post, here you go:

Now, this isn't saying all that much, as I'm only 15 and I'm generally not a huge fan of FPS titles, but this is a really, really fun game. For those of you who just want my score and a quick summary, I won't make you scroll down to the bottom of the post, here you go:
    9.5/10 Overwatch, is fun, frantic, and charming, with some of the best balancing I've ever seen in a shooter, and incredibly well crafted "easy to learn, hard to master" gameplay. There are a couple of characters that are no fun whatsoever to try and fight, and the game is slightly lacking in content at launch, but knowing how much effort Blizzard puts into the longevity of their games, I'm sure these issues will be resolved, and we'll be left with one of the best arena shooters ever made.
    Presentation: This game looks fantastic. The graphics are great, the art style is unique and eye catching, and it's extremely well optimized, at least on PC. The thing that really stood out to me, however, is the level of detail put into the environments that bring them to life. There are semi-destructible vending machines and arcade cabinets, little references to other Blizzard titles, and even a few games of Hearthstone left running (I would assume at Rank 20, as everyone is still running silverback patriarch). Props to blizzard on some of the most amazing looking maps in a game to date.
    Gameplay: Ah yes, the most important thing in any shooter, and I'm happy to say that this is perhaps Overwatch's strongest aspect. Everything is fast and fluid, the maps and team sizes are designed in such a way that you feel like you're having an impact but never that you lost because of one bad player, the level design is great and gives each hero unique ways of traversing the map, and I hardly ever feel as if I'm just running into a kill trap over and over without a way to do something about it. The only thing I would suggest in this category is that occasionally it feels as if one team has advantage over another simply based on level layout, usually with the payload matches.
    Balancing: Overwatch is incredibly well balanced, which is impressive given that it just came out. Many heroes are direct counters to each other, so that one player can't dominate the match. It's extremely well thought out. Probably my only complaint in this area is Bastion, who needs a really big nerf very soon. His DPS is insane, and he can wipe out an entire team in about 6 seconds. But overall, the game feels very fair.
    Content: My only real problem with the game, but even this I'm not that worried about. There are quite a few modes I'd like to see, as well as better friend options, and given how cool the game's lore looks, I'd love to see a singleplayer or co-op campaign introduced sometime down the road. But, knowing blizzard and how well the handle DLC and expansions, I'm confident we'll soon have more content than we know what to do with. Overall, Overwatch has a ridiculous amount of potential, and a developer who I know is willing to explore that potential. Buckle in, everybody. We're in for one hell of a ride.    … Expand

    Another positive aspect is the smooth release, the game and servers worked, normaly this should be the norm but it sadly isnt.

    Many of the worse reviews mention the lack of content, there are only 21 heroes and 12 maps and the price is 40$. But as far as i know Blizzard said there will be contentupdates which will be free. If youre not supe hyped you probably should just maybe wait a bit and see how the game expands.

    You also should reconsider tho buy this game if you plan to solo-que, teamplay is really important in Ow so you probably will get steamrolled a lot by premate-teams. I didnt play that much solo, but i can say it happens like every 10 matches.

This game, although it doesn't feel like it, requires at least a little bit of thinking, such as "When is a good time to use this ultimate?" Or, "What can I do or who can I pick to really support my team more?"
    Now, to story-line. It is understandable that, as this is a Blizzard game, it is almost expected for them to have a campaign of some sort, and any type of backstory, and it really does. Each character has its own unique backstory into the whole story of Overwatch, before the setting of the game. The backstories make for great reads. Also, Blizzard is working on very detailed animated shorts that explain each characters' backstories were, in a more engaging way.

    This is easily one of them most engaging FPS' I have ever played on PC, in it's own unique way. I'm not saying this is any Battlefield game, or more similarly, Quake arcade-like shooter, but it's still so engaging to it's audience. The 98 rating, as of right now as I write this, is extremely justified. I have played north of maybe 15-16 hours of this game somewhat, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.

    The only reason why I haven't given this game a 10/10 is because you will not enjoy it as much if you aren't playing with at least one other friend.    … Expand

Secondly they will same some rubbish like this game is terrible because of Micro transactions... its just cosmetic items people relax. Anything that can be bought over micro transactions can be obtained in game. So the good about Overwatch, it's a nice escape from the usual FPS games you normally play (call of duty, battlefield etc). Overwatch is a nice change and is a truly enjoyable experience also if you bored of the same kind of gameplay just switch to a different character because each character plays differently and is just as fun as the next (use Roadhog... best ever). Overall Overwatch is a good fun time and is a must for all those that enjoy FPS and is wanting to try something new and different.… Expand

    Overwatch is a pretty good step up from the already well established arcade FPS games such as TF2. While it doesn't have any weapon unlocks it includes a heft cast of 21 heroes all with a unique role and set of abilities.

The balance is pretty good in the main game, and if you're not into a balanced shooter you can hop unto the weekly brawl which uses various modifiers to create a new and entertaining gamemode every week. I've seen a lot of people complain for the lack of maps or gamemodes, and honestly as to this point I have no complaints over the amount of content in this game. Just keep in mind that this is a multiplayer only game and I don't believe that a lack of a story mode is a good enough argument against this game. Nobody complains about the lack of a singleplayer in other competitive shooters and besides, the way the game is designed I don't believe a singleplayer mode could actually be implemented well.

    Overall, I'll give Overwatch 9/10. I trust Blizzard will update this game adding new heroes and maps constantly as they've promised, but the ability to purchase loot boxes just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. That said there is no advantage to skins or in-game currency so it is in no way P2W.    … Expand

    The game is Fantastic. It's a very accessible shooter that's easy to learn and hard to master. I see a lot of the negative reviews of this game from players saying the fact that it's "so easy" and "for noobs" is a bad thing. Or "Where is the scoreboard?" etc. I challenge any of those people to play at the pro level. Yes, this game is more accessible and probably easier to play than otherThe game is Fantastic.

Yes, this game is more accessible and probably easier to play than other FPS's out there but once you get to the top and start playing in organised teams it's just as challenging as any other game can be.

    I love the lore and characters and really look forward to the developments. The animations in this game are really top notch and everything just feels so good. The movement is awesome and game play is intense. I saw some people complain of it being slow? That sounds ridiculous to me, I feel like this game is a lot faster than other FPS's out there (not. incl. Arena Shooters).

    In the end gaming comes down to having as much fun as you can and this game delivers fun en masse.

    I highly recommend it.    … Expand

    pleasantly surprised with this. Picked it up on a whim in my lunch break yesterday. Nothing like the usual online shooters. Every character is completely different, some of which are completely useless for taking enemies down but can win games by healing or buffing damage for the rest of the party.

Very refreshing to play a game like this, not shoot any one at all during the match and still get featured in the "play of the match " video at the end for being top healer.

    The character design is Pixar quality and dripping with personality. The levels and game types are also top notch.

    Only negative point for me so far is the stupidity of the player base. its extremely frustrating to pick a support class then have the rest of your team be composed completely with widow maker and reaper, despite the game telling the team in big letters that we have no tanks or defensive players. People are idiots.

    if you have a team of 6 friends to play with then I can see this being as close to gaming perfection as you can get    … Expand

    Extremely well-executed, presented and made game. It delivers on what it promises with no caveats.

    Not a perfect score only because they removed the Competitive Mode (which was available back in Closed Beta), though it seems like they'll put it back soon.

    Amazing game that doesn't take it self too seriously. You can sit down and play this game for 10 minutes or 3 hours- an important feature as I grow older and have less chances to marathon a game. The art is polished to Blizzards' high standards. The game modes and maps are very intuitive(huge +) but have less variety.

It has a roster of 21 well balanced characters, huge when compared to other FPS games but average for a MOBA. Any team fight depends on character run back and death timers, character ultimate abilities have huge potential for synergy - and a skill gap if you don't understand that. The micro transaction are only for character collectible items and aesthetics, no impact on game play. Blizzard did everything right with this game, its longevity will only depend on additional maps and game modes being added in the months/years to follow.… Expand

    Overwatch remains one of the most compelling and experimental shooters in the world right now. Blizzard Entertainment’s commitment to innovative new heroes, modes and responding to community feedback is unparalleled – and a treat to watch. Like World of Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo before it, Blizzard has crafted something that will undoubtedly be around for years to come.

    I'm certain that Overwatch will bring dozens of hours of fun to all lovers of dynamic online shooters. Focusing on one type of gameplay and an enormous attention to detail generated an excellent game. You have to appreciate the developers' sincerity when discussing doubts and problems with the community. Blizzard has done it again. You should see for yourself why so many players have fallen under Overwatch's spell.

    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.
