    It's a poorly made game that was supposed to be F2P, with a lot of design flaws, poor balance, short list of playable heroes and maps. It's a shame Blizzard is making such kind of games these days. Save your money for literally anything else.

    Awesome team based hero FPS. It's like TF2 but with more colorful environments. The game could use more variety in terms of gameplay, but doesnt have to do with the characters at all, more with the game modes themselves. I'd say it's pretty well balanced with a tank meta at heart.

    Cheap class-based team game that tries to be TF2 with less depth. Matchmaking is by far the worst aspect of this game with the way it constantly places you with people vastly below or above your skill level. The game is much less of an FPS and more of an MOBA-style ability spam fest. Short matches and long wait times between matches leaves you frustrated and feeling like your time is being wasted.

    THE GAME SUCK SO GOOD THAT CAN EASY FIND A JOB IN A BURDELO.

    "I spent about 150+ hours on Overwatch thinking, "Hey, this feels like a terrible version of TF2, why did they ripoff the class types and the animation style but none of the clever maps or character balance?" "...BLABLA

    As someone who has never really delved into a dedicated PvP game before, and has in fact studiously avoided them, the fact that Overwatch managed to lure me in and make me appreciate the appeal of this type of game for the first time is the biggest tribute I can give it. If you're someone who generally avoid's PvP games, I would say give it a shot, as its about as noob friendly as a game like this can get, while still having plenty of scope for improvement if you find yourself wanting to put in the work to "git gud".    … Expand

    A cette arnaque à peine dissimulée et maquillée comme une voiture volée s'ajoute le foutage de gueule graphique puisqu'Overwatch est gaulé comme un f2p (un fils de p ?) en 256 couleurs qui fait presque concurrence aux jeux smartphones afin d'appâter les neuneus drogués à leurs habituels f2p et autres jeux "e-sports" plus ou moins gratuits et/ou indés.

    Ce qui peut sembler paradoxal mais le "prestige" de Blibli et l'idolâtrie des fouille-merdes (euh de nos chers amis de la presse) fait le reste. De ce fait, la faible exigence technique permet de faire tourner cette petite bouse sur n'importe quelle poubelle, un élément primordial pour râtisser au plus large. Tout comme les Diablol.

    Le "jeu" en lui-même est en mesure d'attirer le troupeau bêlant lambda ainsi que la kévinerie habituelle des FPS multi-joueurs. Un produit propret, bien formaté et conçu entièrement comme une énorme opération marketing et tant pis si c'est juste nul à chier en fait, on est plus à ça près.    … Expand

    This game started out great, then it became dull,
    It's not for everyone, and it can sometimes cause huge anger and frustration because of the matchmaking system.
    I don't regret buying it as it was great when it first came out, but I probably won't play it much anymore, I'd like to check out better games than wasting my time playing more Overwatch.

    Overwatch is a ton of fun, I've spent so many hours on just my free weekend, then I bought the game after. I was having fun in no time. I play on Xbox, almost no problems. There is a internet problem sometimes, and when I play with friends I never win competive. But, that's just me. The heroes are:
    Wall-E
    Harambe
    Thor
    Grandma
    Bots o' Balls
    and more.

This game takes an INSANE amount of coordination to play, and it's simply not possible to expect that on any consistent basis. this game is full of great highs, and terrible lows. Nothing is more frustrating, when you try to communicate, everyone just does what they please, and you can just feel the match is over, just as it starts. Don't get me wrong, I am not the best player ever, in fact I am pretty pedestrian, but i think its reasonable to expect some type of competent play from others. Quick play mode seems like place to just mess around (that is what VS AI, or the practice range is for), and you would think that this would not be the case in ranked play, but it is. the current ranking system does not seem (in my opinion) to accurately reflect and or adjust for skill gap disparities, so its really hard to judge how good x player really is. My question is how can you expect to climb the ladder in solo que? I am a bronze player, (Silver season 2), and its like your stuck in SR heck. Its seems that all the levels are like this to an extent. It's also very misleading when you find a group that seems to play well, and you all group up together, and then get crushed because teams are so much more coordinated than what you thought your team was. Its seems that sometimes the only way you win is because the opposing team is just way worse than your already terrible team; its like a challenge of who can be the worst, instead of who can be the best. If you had 6 people that you know and trust that can play this game with any type of regularity, will not get salty when things go bad, and play for fun, and work as team win or loose, then i would say this game is for you. Otherwise, it will make you want to pull your hair out. I am such a blizzard fan, but the game is just so madding to play. Its so fun, but so stressful at the same time. I am just torn on weather i want to uninstall or not. The game's logic is flawed because people are flawed, and almost seems the game is doomed by it's own design.… Expand

    Yet, at first, everything was better. High polish! More gameplay, more ways to enjoy! Awesome looks! High skill cap! And for a while, I enjoyed the game hard enough to give this game a 10.

    I had a blast learning every corner of the maps. I had a blast learning most of the heroes. I had a blast experiencing the full circle of human emotions, from joy after a hard win, anger and sadness after losing. It really is an investing game, .... or so I thought until I hit a problem TF2 never had.

    TF2 could switch up the ways one could enjoy the game. You could play the way Valve meant it to be played, but not only. If you wanted to go for a more casual experience, you could. If you wanted to be really competitive, more than intended, you could. If you wanted to improve some skills while still having fun, jump maps or sniper only maps were there for you. The list goes on and on....

    Overwatch doesn't have that. Meaning that no matter how great the game might be, if you're looking for more than the simple package given by Blizzard you'll have to pass.

    But the real problem I had after 300 levels in Overwatch was the skill ceiling. After they removed edge dashing with Genji, there are no more tricks you can learn to get any kind of advantage in the game (they are legion in TF2)
    These kind of tricks, while giving you slight advantages, used to make me feel like I was progressing, that I was getting better at that game. Having no such thing in Overwatch means that you will feel powerless, like you're not progressing at all. The fact that you depend so much on your team doesn't help that feeling neither.

    In short,if like me you've REALLY liked TF2 and its diversity, you will be left disappointed in Overwatch. If you were looking at TF2 for a competitive experience, you found your game.
    If you never played TF2 and have no clue what I am talking about, go for it anyway!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was one of the worst parts of the year 2016. It is thoroughly un-fun in every way imaginable. The characters are unbalanced and uncreative. The whole premise of the game is basically a Team Fortress 2 clone. It is based entirely on team play, but there is no incentive for working together as a team, and no way to punish players who troll or do not work with their team. Overall, I have had a highly negative experience playing this game, which I have been playing since release. And I haven't even gotten to the worst feature yet: competitive play. I realize Blizzard changed competitive placements in Season 3 because Gold and Platinum were overpopulated, and they wanted to fix this. That said, the fixes they implemented were the worst possible. In Season 2, I placed silver and stayed about the same throughout the season. However, I played a lot of quick play and other modes between Season 2 and Season 3 and improved quite a bit. When I played my Season 3 placements, I won 7 out of my 10 placements, earning 3 or more gold medals in every game except for one. Obviously, this means I not only won games, but significantly contributed to the success of my team. Additionally, I was matched in every game against people who had already placed in gold or in platinum. The fact that I did well against these players shows that I deserve to be placed in a similar skill level to them. However, I was placed in bronze. I feel the changes that Blizzard made to competitive essentially just places every player lower than they deserve to be because they could not think of an actual solution to the problem. This removes all motivation to play competitive, because good players are going to be placed lower than they should be, which feels bad and is not a reward for playing well. Additionally, it is going to be much harder to climb to where you really deserve to be because you will be placed with people who are not as skilled as you are. This also creates much more unbalanced matchmaking. Overall, I feel this game is not very creative or fun, and the little potential it did have was completely ruined by the utter stupidity of Blizzard as a company. I would NEVER recommend this game to anyone, and it has certainly been a waste of my time and money.… Expand

    I'm not a big fan of competitive games, but Overwatch stands out. The creative characters, abilities and maps make it different from all the other team based competitive games.

    I was looking for a game to put many hours into, and i have definitely found it!

    if there were a possibility to rate this under 0 I would really chose the lowest. Nothing compares to this bullsh.it game. No logical rules, OP heroes, everything is just wrong with this crap. If you have the intention to buy this **** just go and buy something else like a bunch of ice creams or anything else, I assure you is way more enjoyable.

    Aside from being one of the biggest wastes of time video games you could possibly play, Overwatch is anything but fun.

With horribly balanced heroes and maps that share the same make up, the game is basically boring. Say you wish to try your hand at competitive; maybe test your skills with people of similar talent? Well good luck. Overwatch has a nasty habit of pairing you with other players that are multiple levels of prestige higher than you. Additionally, since the newest update, winning your ten games is equivalent to not even playing the game. Someone who wins 7 or 8 out of their games has the same chance of being ranked with players who have only won one. All-in-all, Overwatch is a poor excuse for an FPS with Blizzard once again trying to hop on the band wagon of popular game genres (I'm looking at you Heroes of the Storm) with basically what you could call a poor man's Team Fortress 2. Thanks Blizzard for once again setting the bar so low, we knock our heads on the way out of uninstalling the game.… Expand

    All praise is that the game has a perfect balance, but it is a myth, the game has a major flaw, it is Genji, the hero is a completely unbalanced, the most powerful and disgusting sobershenno gaming community all scum constantly choose Genji. Blizzard should worsen this character or completely remove it. It's pathetic. Everyone who plays this piece of **** very real creature worthy of a ban.

    To summarize, Overwatch is a hot steaming crappy liquid garbage mess of a game. It steals mechanics and features from a bunch of places such as: The gameplay of TF2, the MoBA mechanics of League of Legends, and the graphics of Disney Studios (?!).

    TF2 is easily one of my favorite games. It is amazing and I simply love it to bits. However, Overwatch is just a poorly made ripoff of TF2, and not nearly as good.

    I have so many complaints about this garbage game, I don't know where to start. First off, it has practically NO CONTENT. 3 gamemodes, and like 4 maps. That is simply pathetic. It tries to be funny or humorous by having a goofy stereotypical British character that says cringe stuff like, "CHEERS LOVE! THE CAVALRY'S HERE!" Absolute fail.

    And the price?! REALLY?! $60?! What a load of bullcrap. I actually thought that was a joke at first, but apparently Blizzard DOES want to overprice this stupid trash game.

    So overall, Overwatch is simply a disgrace to both the FPS genre and the otherwise awesome array of Blizzard games, which is strange, since they're the one who made it.

    Just do yourself a favor, go play TF2 for free instead of wasting $60 on this obsolete garbage.    … Expand

    1- some characters are so easy to play.

    its super annoying that you know you just got killed by some random clicks. for example, there is a bomber and all he does is randomly spamming infinite granades across the map. no aim, no well spend ammo and fairly low cooldown of reloading. this isnt only character does this kind of things, many characters, in fact, requires no real thought or skill to play good. blizzard apperantly wanted a easy to play, casual game but i think they did way too over the top. if you can walk and click you will for sure, get kills eventually. its that much easy.

    2- it too dependant of teamplay, and game doesnt help you to have a good multiplayer experience.

    there are roles such as like tank, support etc etc, and people can pick anything they want and actually this is a huge problem. why? if you value teamplay like me, half of your games will be about filling empty role spots in team. noone picked tank? you know you should pick a tank.. irresponsible players wont be sharing duty and you will sacrifice your fun more times then you can guess.

    also, you can encounter players who insist on playing characters they are bad at till forever, and its annoying that you know there is nothing preventing it. you see this guy, picking hanzo and playing terrible with, but still insisting on playing it for hours and hours, game doesnt provide any options for you to handle this frustration... it just lets it... because well blizzard wants it casual as much as it can be.

    3- some hitboxes for abilities, or attacks, are ridicilously large... its too casual. at first i had great respect for some hanzo & roadhog players but later i found it was just too easy to make headshots with those caharaters. hanzo, the character which is supposedly a sniper, hits your head just by aiming your upper body.

    4-it doesnt matter if you spend your coins carefully on legendary skins and content alike.

    they sometimes give free and absoloutly super looking skins that makes your legendary skin look thrash compared to it. for my genji, i purchased most expensive skin but blizzard recently decided to give away a brand new better skin for everyone who plays a few games in Heroes of the Storm. why did i even tried to collect all that gold then???

    casualness of blizzard destroys a brliiant potential... if you are similar to other recent blizzard games its a common thing now. daiblo 3 suffered same things.

    my final score: 6/10. blizzard builds it and destroys it all by themselves. i dont reccomend spending money for this game, its allready overpriced and its not good enough to keep you playing if you look for replay values.    … Expand

    Whether you have a good PC or not, this game looks beautiful. Every map is polished and has great theming. In most FPS games the maps are dark and boring because it is a war zone, but in Overwatch all of the maps are colourful and vibrant and this makes gameplay way more interesting.

    Overall I cannot recommend Overwatch enough. Whilst the £30 price tag might put some off it is well worth it for the fun, exciting gameplay. Everything about this game is right: the maps, the music, the heroes.

It's not uncommon to earn several gold medals for your play but then be on a 10+ losing streak. Saying that, if you can get into a clan (as I am) this problem fixes itself.

    First of all I just want to say that this game is very well promoted and maybe the game is not as good as it seems to be. Now lets go to the main review: The game is good but not excellent and has potential to be something amazing...Gameplay and overall game mechanics are taken from TF2 but the heroes looks like something more close to Dota. It could be fun but in most cases very annoyingFirst of all I just want to say that this game is very well promoted and maybe the game is not as good as it seems to be. Now lets go to the main review: The game is good but not excellent and has potential to be something amazing...Gameplay and overall game mechanics are taken from TF2 but the heroes looks like something more close to Dota. It could be fun but in most cases very annoying due to unbalanced heroes,maps and abilities. The good part is that it will last for a few years at least and we are going to receive updates and new features from time to time. Also the sound is good and along with good graphics and optimization makes me to say that Overwatch is a must try game. Although the price is too high for this kind of game. At competitive mode the game is currently an attempt far for being good at this chapter but it could become good if they will continue to balance it because is hard to balance this kind of game where every hero has some special ability which is overpowered over another hero...The game is not competitive neither fun as well just aspire to be mediocre at both competitive and fun. Sincerely TF2 was so much better and fun, characters were more fun definitely. I think Blizzard is not experienced with FPS so this should be the cause for the mediocrity of game. On the other hand the item drop is good and even better we don't have microtransactions. There is a chance to 50% to like this game...I dont know but personally I liked it very much in the begining but got bored after 20 hours of game. When we talk about the events this is not a big deal at all as well because you get only some crates with skins and a special brawl mode (plus a main menu theme) and thats all...no map decorations or something special...(50/100 for me considering that that Blizzard still makes good games)… Expand

    Here is what I think Overwatch is good at, and what it's bad at:

    Positive: - Incredibly fun to play as a team, whether it be perfect balance of defense, offense and support or six Winston tanks running in with primal rage for a super strike. Seriously, it's fun. - Fast paced and easy to maneuver around. Very few times have I gotten bored because the game was too slow.

    Positive:
    - Incredibly fun to play as a team, whether it be perfect balance of defense, offense and support or six Winston tanks running in with primal rage for a super strike. Seriously, it's fun.
    - Fast paced and easy to maneuver around. Very few times have I gotten bored because the game was too slow. Everything is quick and leaves me with an adrenaline rush when I'm a lone Lucio on the payload in overtime with a Reinhardt-Mercy combo running at me.
    - Easy to play most characters; rewarding to play those that are not. Bastion, essentially a sentry gun that can move and repair itself, can be used by pretty much anyone who plays Overwatch. While heroes like Zarya can take time to learn and use effectively.
    - Runs very well on my computer. Not sure if it's just because it's powerful, or the game is very well optimized.

    Negative:
    - Matchmaking can sometimes take a while. I've sat in a Skirmish for five minutes before. While that's not a seriously long wait-time, I can sometimes get into a game in five seconds.
    - Some things feel unbalanced to use and fight against. Reinhardt's shield is incredibly powerful and can defend the entire team while Bastion sets up right behind him and mows every single person down. Very good for both defense and offense, but seemingly unfair to defend or fight against.

    Overall:

    Incredibly fun to play and get into, especially with friends. The price tag on the Origin version is not worth the extra skins and items you get for buying it. Stick with the base, $40.00 version and you'll be absolutely fine and dandy. In the twenty hours I've played, I haven't come across any hackers. That's not to say there isn't any, but is part of my experience.    … Expand

    But the gameplay is **** Consistently **** I stuck with it for a week but it was painfully unfun.

    The flow of gameplay is schizoid; Disorganized to the point of painfulness. It wouldn't be an issue in a typical FPS game, but the format of Overwatch calls for some degree of organization which is not fulfilled by playing with randoms.

    The game doesn't lack content. It's just bad. Think of it... A lot of FPS games could survive on one or two core maps. Content is then created by player interaction. If those interactions are fun, you have a near endless supply of good content.

    A lot of people do play Overwatch, but if it wasn't backed by Blizzards advertising wallet it wouldn't be popular. (Or maybe perhaps if their current formula didn't "work" they might be more consistent with their products.)

    I won't deny that Overwatch is fun when teams "click." It's probably a blast with a regular team. Maybe it'll be more fun when the playerbase has more experience, and the metagame matures...

    There is practically no story in the game, the only story are animated shorts and comics from outside sources to help build the world of Overwatch. And while these are made with the high quality one would expect from Blizzard, the game itself lacks any sort of explanation to who these characters are and why they are capturing points/pushing payloads.
    However, what little story there is can be found in Easter eggs, character dialogues and before mentioned outside sources; these story elements helps makes our 21 characters more interesting and engaging. and i wish Blizzard would have fleshed out the story with an in game campaign.

    Gameplay is where Overwatch excels in my opinion. This is a team focused game and Blizzard have design the game around teamwork. Not once have I ever felt that I wasn't contributing or I was carrying my entire team. The maps are creatively designed and the gamemodes, while very basic and simple, have been balanced and polished out to a high standard. There are 22 (as of Sept. 25 2016) playable characters with more on the way and each of these characters feel unique and useful, even the supports have cool healing abilities and can kill anyone.
    There are 3 main gamemodes: Quickplay, Competitive, and Brawl. Each of these have a variety of maps and objectives to do, however they may get repetitive after a while since the objectives are just attack/defend points and push a payload. And since these are the only gamemodes for now the amount of content will seem lacking for now however Blizzard have promised more for free in the future so that will really decide the worth of the game

    In terms of microtransactions, the game can be played without spending more than the premium price. The microtransaction are lootboxes that you can either get from leveling up or buying them with real money. However obtaining lootboxes by leveling up gets much harder for lvl. 40+. But the only thing these boxes gives are cosmetic skins, sprays, player icons, and voice speeches; lootboxes are completely optional so it won't give any gameplay advantages if you buy 1000 of these to someone who hasn't spent a penny.

    Overall, Overwatch is a great game to mess around with friends. And while the content so far has been lacking, Blizzard's promise of free characters and maps has helped ensure me that content will keep coming for many years to come.
    I recommend you to buy this game at $40 if you love first-person shooters, teambased games, or have a bunch of friends to play with. (Note: If you can, don't buy the origins edition. It's $20 for a bunch of skins that aren't really special compared to other skins anyone can get. Buy the normal edition)    … Expand

    "What's in the box" Oh god, what's in that box?" I tried to love Overwatch, I tried to ride the hype train, but it didn't work out. So i took a souvenir during F2P beta day (memories of potentially fun, simple game that looked like polished Battlefront or Team Fortress but was still more than that; more unique in a way as far as heroes and their abilities went). Sadly, that was all just a"What's in the box" Oh god, what's in that box?" I tried to love Overwatch, I tried to ride the hype train, but it didn't work out. So i took a souvenir during F2P beta day (memories of potentially fun, simple game that looked like polished Battlefront or Team Fortress but was still more than that; more unique in a way as far as heroes and their abilities went). Sadly, that was all just a minigame, simple and unfinished but addictive enough to bait you into the real game that's hidden inside; and what hid inside was a very, very dark place, exactly the same place that you can find in the Cs:GO or many modern games, and a place that will exist as long as 1st world players (be it 13 or 60), except to be treated like addicts, even when they're not, it's aimed toward those prone to addiction, vanity, and gambling. Those are the customers that every modern company aims for these days, and sadly, they keep coming back to play their slot machines, even though we all know "the house always wins". But unlike dangers and unappealing aspect of gambling and specifically slot machines, where everything and everyone warns you that you shouldn't spend money playing it, this road is paved by people shilling the game for you, You tubers with fake personas that ride every hype train and play along to the tune of the companies for their micro-share of the micro-pie, to soothe the vanity and get their taste of fame, they will guide you to these games with fake "omg amazing" reviews, much like gaming journalists, only with more popularity and less rich vocabulary; there are no grannies with crutches standing in front of these slot machines, only people surrounding you pm-ing how cool you look in this or that skin, voice (new feature yay!), spray tag."Just cosmetics" just became part of your social/gameplay xp.
    Most games today, especially multiplayer ones, are just 1 hour expiration date minigames that guide you into the real game-online gambling, with everything produced by other fans and players, but restricted to people because you sold your soul at the start of the agreement policy, and everything you produce while playing or being inspired by the mini-game can be recycled, and will be recycled, as a new product you have to pay for, be it maps or "mission packs", but it is all focused and boils down to the gambling aspect where you roll for cosmetic features that games are centered on, and you receive by leveling (10% of them) or spending infinite amount of money (and I do mean infinite, the more you spend and obtain the lower the chance for the skins you don't have but want to drop, to drop). Online gambling trap=1/10; Minigame called Overwatch you will get bored by in first few hours: 7/10 (could actually be a promising game, but don't be fooled to think you can ignore the "it's just cosmetics, silly" because the game is all about those cosmetics, and everything will guide you to focus on obtaining all those silly cosmetics).
    TL;DR I cannot put this simpler: DO NOT BUY THIS. Just because you trust Activision-Blizzard (as good old Bobby Kotick said, explaining the WoW corpse yearly remakes: "If we cannot run a game into the ground, we don't want it" meaning if the game isn't addicting/cool enough for people to deal with micro-transactions (understatement of the decade=straight up ego stroking for money) and addiction/vanity mechanics hidden inside, we don't bother with it. This quote explains a lot about the inner workings of the gaming industry, and that means any company,not just EA and similar designated meanies, they ALL work on the exact same business model from Valve through ActivisionBlizzard to EA, with some being nicer to your face but pulling their pants down once you turn around, and other's getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar, but there is no difference behind the curtains; there is no magic, just same suits working on the same con to exploit you. It's gambling with a mini-game attached, not vice versa.
    In fact, best thing you can do for gaming atm, is play only single-player classics with no DLCs to pay for or completely lay off video games, cause they are in a very dark place atm, as far as consumers are concerned. Moneywise or industry-related, they are blooming like never before and putting movie industry to shame, exactly because people pre-order and ride hype trains just to realize all of it is introduction into gambling (only more polished than a real casino, with all the geriatrics or the elderly turned into T&A to distract you). It's nice for them to add some elderly character into the game, and some butch lesbian, and work on gender/age issues that suddenly became important; but when are we going to talk about much bigger issue of players-exploited, no matter the gender, and abusing psychology research a la Mengele to switch on addiction baits and turn players into chronic gamblers; or the fact that 2/3 of Pc owners can't enjoy most games with or without others    … Expand

    Overwatch which I am still getting used to is a crazy fast game (maybe I'm just getting old) but I find myself gravitating towards the support classes so the young twitchy players can handle the front line offense.

    The only reason I didn't rate Overwatch a 10 is because it seems to me that there aren't very many people playing it. I'm in Silicon Valley and I was pretty surprised when I found myself playing skirmish for almost 10 minutes before getting dropped into a game. When that game ended I was dumped back into skirmish because there were 'not enough players'. This was not in the early morning or very late night... it was evening on the west coast.

    No, reviewing this game as a game leaves me feeling a bit offset. As a universe, Overwatch is amazing, simply mindblowing, and brings a bit of everything to the table, great characters, lores, fans, exc. As a game, well it's lackluster.

    The game itself is a simple first person shooter with two teams of six. That's it. Each hero plays differently and counters another and so on, blah blah blah, we've all heard that before. Point is, as a game, it's repetitive and lacks any sort of story element. It also deals with a full price tag, for which it feels empty. Furthermore, you don't just GET the things you buy. Yes, you get the full game, but getting all the pieces of the game include more than your share of fully duplicate loot boxes, and the pure annoyance that comes from them.

    This is not a solo game. You do not play this game for an engaging plot or interesting mechanics or deep lore and gameplay. No, you play this game with your friends. And that brings about the multiplayer issues with the game. Put simply, casual is full of trolls (but that's to be expected in any multiplayer game) and the brawls (special gamemodes that rotate in and out) feel unbalanced and underwhelming. So the only real way to play the game is competitively, and that is a mess. In the next season, they say they'll clear things up, but from the beta testers, Season 2 doesn't look any better than the first. The ranking system is messed up, skewed HARD in favor of those with dps skills and beefy computers. Healers get nothing, even though they are integral to winning a game. Ranked is bad. Very bad. Casual is only slightly better.

    Long story short, Overwatch would be a 0 if not for the extra, out-of-game universe. If not for the cinematics and comics that keep me interested in the characters, I would not play the game. As it is, I only bought it to play with my friends... and I wouldn't keep playing if I had the choice. But after the hefty cost of entry, 40-60 bucks, I can't just put the game down. They promised me stuff, so I'll get stuff. I'll just enjoy the extra universe more.    … Expand

Its okayish in terms of a multiplayer online game but in the long run it has immeanse flaws.

    One thing is the way hits and kills are counted in this game. Its not the evading player that is favored for, wel, evading, but the one shooting. that means, that if you are a tracer and blink around the corner you can die from a shot from a player with higher ping, that hit you on his screen. this is a well rounded mechanic for competitive matches in a closed network, but is the most **** up thing to ever be implemented in an ONLINE shooter.

    another thing is the imbalance of heroes. the game is kept in balance by competitive and regular matches. this means there is a massive skill difference in the balancing itself. the hero bastion, the sitting turret of salt, is a strong pick and saltgrinder in normal games, but is so easily coutered in pro plays, that he is considered weak and is apt for a buff. the hero dva was considered relatively weak in the pro play and is now one of the best picks in a normal queue. this list goes on for a while.

    Next nagging point: Matchmaking there is experience in this game. experience is gained by playing matches and, well, getting experience with the game. this means there is a big number that indicates a level of skill that this player is supposed to have attained. Now overwatch doesnt care at all. You WILL be matched with players much weaker than you or with players much much better than you for the sole purpose of creating relatively even win percentage, that enables blizzard to call their game "balanced".

    Now the thing that made me so furious I decided to write a review about my experience with overwatch so far. Loot.
    The loot - mechanic in this game is based on lootboxes handed out every level and always containing 4 items of varying rarity. these are white - common, blue - rare, pink - epic and orange - legendary. now white and blue is so common it doesnt even need to be divided at all and epic skins equal mildly rare items in every other game with loot. only legendary items are relatively rare. loot must not be obtained by luck alone but can also be bought for ingame curency, that is NOT buyable but has to be collected either as drop from boxes or from duplicates. additional to that there are skins that are exclusive to certain game editions or events. and these events are what caused me to see the **** that is the reward system in overwatch. Loot has been examined by reddit users and the largest quantity of loot listed there was a table of the experience of 30000 players. now they found that legendary loot spawns approximately every 14 boxes. now I had managed to obtain whole 4 legendary skins prior to lvl 35 and then started investing huge amounts of time in the summer event, to get exclusive skins, as i had already gotten 1. now I invested a whole day, not with sleep and eating, but whole 24 hours of my life to get more skins of the little above 4 legendaries for all 20+ characters. and when i hit lvl 53 at the end of the event i had an astounding 4 legendaries with 2 duplicates of said legendaries. of the 60 skins available I managed to pillage 4 and the game gave me 2 more of those i had already in possesion. now one might think they would be valuable, but they are not. Legenfdary skins cost 1000 currency (cur in short) and a legendary currency drop values at 500 cur. that means you have to get 2 legendary currency drops for a single legendary skin, but what value do legendary duplicates have? 200 cur! that is not even enough to buy an epic piece of loot. 5 legendary duplicates equal 1 skin in the shop, and the skin you might want to have cant possibly bought as it is an event skin you cannot get. you cant reroll these drops. you cant buy themwith money. you cant get them with time investment.

    the game is, as i said, okayish, but its flaws weigh out its pros heavily. to screw up something like a reward system so hard, a system that has been done right in so many games, even in blizzard ones, is so sad to watch. i really wanted this game to make me have fun, but this single thing made me hate it so much.
    buy the game, have your fun, but dont expect a balanced game or teamplayers. Do not open the lootboxes and dont even try looking at the hero gallery. you wont get much fun, they made it that way.    … Expand

    Most fun I have had out of a competitive fps game in a while, gameplay is fun and there is a lot of variety between the heroes. Gameplay is heavily based off of Team Fortress 2, but the heroes have a lot of personality and abilities that make them unique to one another. Skins form a progression system in a way and give you rewards for leveling up and playing, but do not actually give youMost fun I have had out of a competitive fps game in a while, gameplay is fun and there is a lot of variety between the heroes.

    I've been wanting to review this game for a while. Now that I've got a metacritic account, I think I can make up for lost time. There's not much to be said, so it's better to be brief: the game is good. Is it great? No. Is it horrible? No. Alot of people will be split on their feelings about the game, and I don't blame them. But the game never does anything offensively bad. Although I'mI've been wanting to review this game for a while. Now that I've got a metacritic account, I think I can make up for lost time.

But the game never does anything offensively bad. Although I'm not the biggest fan of Blizzard, you can tell they really wanted this game to succeed, so they put millions of man hours into making sure it at least worked properly. Character balance and map selection is still something that can be worked on, but there's always hope that the game will get better.

    With that said, I don't quite think it's worth 40 dollars. Not yet.    … Expand

    Overrated.

    Runs really well but solo queuing is really boring. There are better things to play if you want to play with friends.

    Stay away from this game if you are into FPS/aim this is more of a rock/paper/scissor with the classes. Hitboxes twice the size of the models and 30 tick servers.

    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.
