    all in all the game is just average. not nearly as good as some competitors (dirty bomb for example) with an ok pay model of pay to buy with large amounts of cosmetics you "could" buy. it feels good to play, but is nothing to write home about and after a while the repetitiveness got tedious.    … Expand

    Great gameplay with great characters but short on modes and I can't see myself playing it more than a couple of weeks which makes the game's price questionable.

    It's basically Call of Duty, but with Porn Stars.

    Just get prepared to die every 3 seconds because everyone has to be all L33T, so **** balance! Make everyone kill everything super quick! Then get ready to die every time you use your ultimate because all ultimates suck.

    Go play Paladins instead. It's free & is just a better game.

    Overwatch as a casual game is very enjoyable. It's filled with interesting mechanics, a nice art style, and fun gameplay. Sadly as a competitive shooter the game falls flat.

    The gamemodes are almost a copy of TF2 involving either moving a payload or attack/defense control points. The way play these modes is through quick play, the weekly brawl, vs bots, or competitive(I will get to later). The game as of July 24th has 22 characters with there own ability's. Most of them are fairly generic like a sniper(widowmaker), a engineer(torbjorn), a scout(tracer), a soldier(Pharah), a medic(Mercy), and a demoman(junkrat), but the still differ themselves enough from there TF2 counterparts. The other characters though very one dimensional are fairly unique and offer a wide variety of gameplay styles. Each character typically only has 1 gun, 1-2 abilities, and a special. The guns control fairly well except they lack any recoil and really have a low skill ceiling to use most of them. Most of the abilities are cool like creating a ice wall or providing armor to teammates. The problem stems from the specials. Some of the specials are nothing much but the others are downright ridiculous. Here is where competitive falters, the specials not only are OP and unbalanced but take little to no skill to pull off. Wallhacks, aimbots, Invincibility all sound like hacks but are REAL specials for some of the overwatch characters. That's not competitive nor fun to play with or against. To add to that there are broken hitboxes for most character and weapons making any chance to be competitive pushed to the side. Also you have to be level 25 to unlock competitive which takes far too long to achieve. The game even in casual is ruined by these "Specials" due to there limited skill to use and overall cheapness when you get killed by one. The soundtrack of this game however is great and fits the heroic mood of the game very well. I always enjoy booting up the game and hearing the music as I prepare for battle against...overwatch? Yea, the lore is fairly week as well as the gameplay doesn't correlate at all with the lore made for the game making you wonder what the point of having all those cool short films to advertise the game. Luckily that does little to affect the game play. The last thing is the in game cosmetics which do look cool and don't affect the gameplay and it is fun to be rewarded with when you play more. The loot boxes are overpriced if you want to buy them but there really is no point. In conclusion Overwatch does have some great things going for it but as a competitive shooter it falls flat. Hopefully it goes for a more casual approach like TF2 did or a competitive approach instead of this frustrating middle ground of a unbalanced annoying mess. There is still going to be more updates so I'm eager to see what Blizzard does with the game in the future. 7.4/10 -Infinite    … Expand

    - time intense as fck
    - rng of lootchests is ridiculous, got like 20 stuff doubled on lvl 10...
    - no proper report function without having a person speak in chat, need to be targeted to report. Cheaters just never say anything in chat and can't get reported.
    - 40-50€ for an Game which has a terrible matchmaking, 2 game modes and unbalanced champions
    - unplayable in solo-queue (you get matched in teams where you see 3 widowmakers and 2 pharahs in one team)
    - after lvl 26 exp needed for levelup doesnt change anymore, easy for powerlevlers

    One upside is that i purchased the key on a keysite with paypal - refund money after 2 weeks. So it's pretty much free 2 play for people who doesn't want to blow money into blizzard's butt for no reason.    … Expand

    I bought Overwatch almost immediately after release, and at first it looked like a great game. (I played till April 2017, scoring high plat-low diamond in competitive, spending 300+ hours ingame.)

    Very polished engine that runs decently even on old PC, flashy graphics, Blizzard's name & fame - all these promised top-tier multiplayer shooter for years to come.
    However, the reality was disappointing.
    - This is so called "team" game where you can not see your (or anyone's else) team-related performance. If something goes wrong, you can only make wild guesses. We have completely useless and misguiding medals instead, which tell nothing about teamplay or team contribution or team needs at current moment.
    - Blizzard promised great "casual-competitive" gameplay, but solo queue competitive is abysmal. Every third game is won or lost due to reasons-related-to-ONE-player (someone is a troll and decided to throw a game, someone is 4000-rating genji main in 3100 game and just eliminates opposing team, someone is unlucky to have crappy ISP and disconnects midgame, someone is that special person who plays ONLY Torb/Widow/Hanzo, etc, etc - you can't do anything in these cases to change the outcome). The only way would be to find your own 6-10-20 man team of similar skill & mindset; but that is completely opposite of "casual" - and required too much effort for majority of the players.
    - There is NO way to perma-mute trolling or harassing players. I was lucky enough never to meet really stinky trolls in game, but once I was paired with "widow only" player 3 times in a row. This person admitted they are losing on purpose, so I reported/muted them - and I was still put into the same team 2 more times... Report system apparently don't work, and some players just insult everyone else, spoiling the mood a bit. They are never banned. As a result, there are trolls in every second game.
    - There are too few maps, and map design is mediocre at best. 2 of the maps have the sole entrance in the beginning, which is easily blocked - that makes both defense and offense quite boring and repetitive quite often. Number of game modes isn't great either.
    - Outside of the game, heroes are great - they have their own stories, agendas and characters. Ingame you do not feel of see ANY of that. Storywise, you don't understand why brutal killers from Talon are fighting on the same team, as their Overwatch adversaries, or why they are fighting at all. There is no singly player mode at all, which is really sad for a game with such rich background.    … Expand

    Overwatch is a good game. However, it suffers from the myriad of issues that plagued its readily comparable predecessor, Team Fortress 2. The balancing tactic relies on "making everybody strong", and making everybody "OP" instead of attempting some skill-based balance. Where that design philosophy can work in MOBA's like Dota 2 and to an extent League of Legends, Blizzard drops the ball here.

    Simply being on the attacking team puts you at an astounding disadvantage. There are no counters for abilities that make players invincible, nor a defending team composed for tanks. The first two minutes of the game revolve around getting the payload to the final point, and the rest is devoted to trying in vain to end the game.

    Problems that existed in the beta have not been solved. What was brushed off as "Oh it's just a beta release" has become "They've voluntarily and knowingly released this product for full price."

    If EA and Ubisoft damn themselves into early graves through poor practices, Blizzard has no excuse.

    This game is mediocre. It lacks creativity and originality. There are many f2p games of the same genre out there. It has Blizzard brand behind it and an army of Blizzard fans. Remove this and I doubt this game would be any such popular. It is really sad to see that so many innovative games do not get attention and games like this receive so much praise.

    Overwatch or Overhype?

    I waited through beta and launch to see the full reviews to buy this game. As the majority of reviews were positive I decided to give it a go. I am not a Blizzard fanboy and my choice of game is FPS, so this is my first weeks impression of the game.

    I waited through beta and launch to see the full reviews to buy this game. As the majority of reviews were positive I decided to give it a go. I am not a Blizzard fanboy and my choice of game is FPS, so this is my first weeks impression of the game. If you are a casual gamer who enjoys FPS shooters then this may give you an idea of the game.

    Characters:

    Pros - The game comes with all characters unlocked. They are very nice creations and look amazing. Each individual character comes with their own play style and perks allowing team creation. I have yet to find a significantly overpowered character, so balancing seems fine.

    Cons - The game comes with all characters unlocked. The use of special powers leaves a lot of characters feeling slow and lumber some. The tanks feel as though they are fighting a losing battle as they have high Armour and extremely low attack (except for Rienhardt who is melee). There is zero customization for each individual character meaning you have no way of changing a characters play style.

    Maps:

    Pros - All the maps look and feel great. Depending on game type their will be around 4 maps you play on, making a lot of maps. The maps have a decent amount of vertical movement which helps break up play.

    Cons - Even though there are a good number of maps the specific game mode to map make you feel as though you are fighting the same battle over and over again. A similar feeling to that of Battlefront walker assault (if you were suckered into buying that to for hype).

    Scoring System:

    Pros - The scoring system doesn't just focus on the sheer number of kills you made. It has separate focus on each character type preference, whether that be blocking damage or healing your team. Play of the game shows the 'best play of the game' instead of final kill.

    Cons - The scoring sometimes focuses on players achievements which are pretty average while leaving out the real MVP's who carried the games. While the 'play of the game' is a great idea, it seems to rarely focus on the actual best play of the game. An example, I made two double kills in short succession then used my special for a 5th kill in the space of about 5 seconds. At the end game 'play of the game' someone killed a player and themselves. Feels a bit empty.

    Loot System:

    Pros - Good Looking Skins

    Cons - Loot boxes are rubbish. They throw out loads of extras like tags that no one uses/wants and new voices that are generic. Every now and again you will receive a new skin. The skins are cool, but they are full body skins. This lowers the amount of customization and also the longevity of loot boxes as they are the only things worth winning. Also the majority of skins are just color copy's with each character having a couple of unique looks.

    Overall game play:

    Pros - Feel crisp and using the right power at the right time can be rewarding.

    Cons - Messy. Can feel slow and a bit of a grind. Movement is sacrificed for specials so there is no option to dash out of danger if needed. This also becomes annoying after you die and have to run back across the map to get into the fight. Guns feel under powered. Overall the whole time you can be running around shooting at people and not make a single kill, Something I have not experienced before. Alternatively, you could be making a load of kills and not even know as the scoring is so bad.

    Edit: Tick rate is really effecting game play. You will not realize the majority of the time that you are being shot at. This gives the impression that you are constantly one shot killed while not doing damage to anyone, until you see the kill cam and realize that you were being shot at for a huge amount of time. O Its almost a joke that is more funny than frustrating though.

    Conclusion:

    The game feels chunky and clunky. The fact that it focuses so strongly on team buildings means that individual casual player will always be at a huge disadvantage. No one in your team will want to be the healer and nine times out of ten you will find yourself in a game with all attackers. If you do have a good crew ready to play hopefully you have that mate who doesn't mind being the healer to follow you round while you rack up kill streaks.
    Each game feels the same as the last on that specific map. Use the same strong points to resist attack over again or vice versa.
    After a solid 30 hours really wanting this game to work it feels lacking and I have left feeling empty even through some of the best matches played.
    I would not recommend this game to any FPS who enjoys the likes of COD, BF3/4, Insurgency, Rainbow Six Siege, or even DOOM or Unreal tournament. This game is a FPS MOBA and it takes away from the overall skill of the game.
    The game is a gimmick and while feels great when first picked up, it quite quickly becomes boring and repetitive. For the price I may force myself through some more hours, but would recommend picking this up for a discount later down the line when bored of other your game    … Expand

    - How effective an ult is is based completely on timing and luck. There is no SKILL in lucky timing.

    My experience with Overwatch has been a mess. The graphics of the game are bright and colorful instead of dark and gloomy like every shooter out there.

A lot of the tanks have some kind of shield that can block damage. There are charactersMy experience with Overwatch has been a mess. The graphics of the game are bright and colorful instead of dark and gloomy like every shooter out there. Each of the characters has different abilities that they can use to their advantage in order to try to control whatever objective they are aiming after. A lot of the tanks have some kind of shield that can block damage. There are characters that specialize in tank slaying as well. The least played role is support though. There is a time limit to capturing the points, but it doesn't really matter since as long as someone stands on the point, it goes into overtime and overtime can extend indefinitely. The increased death timers do not really matter. If a match gets tied at the end, the game goes into sudden death where whoever captures the first objective instantly becomes the winner. I'd rather have the game just reward whoever did it faster with overtime counting against the team as well.

    One of the best things about the game is its focus on objectives rather than just flat out kills. Individual players matter a lot less than a group that can play together. But here in lies the problem. Players are grouped together based on a Dynamic Queue and premade groups inherently have an advantage. While the game does try to pit premades against other premade groups, it doesn't always work out. You often get very one sided match ups, especially since they allow for a massive variance in skill in ranked. There was one game where I was playing with a rank 30 and a rank 60 pairing on the other team while I was in the high 40s. Needless to say, the rank 60 wiped out everyone and I still had to suffer a massive rank decrease for it.

    My biggest complaint about the game is the lack of sense of progress. Your progress is measured by collecting experience from games. It takes 22000 experience to gain a level with most games netting you about 2000 experience. In about 11 to 12 games, you should gain a level and earn a loot box for 4 random items. The problem here is that duplicates are turned into very tiny amounts of currency, I'm talking like maybe 5. The cheapest items need around 25 while the most expensive cost 1000. There are some that you also cannot buy, such as the pre-order bonus Widowmaker and anything marked under "events," like the Summer Olympics themed items.

    When I heard this game was buy to play, I was hoping that it would be free of all the problems that came with free to play games, but I was wrong. This is a buy to play game with a cash shop and they do all of the things that free to play games do. They start with pretty bad servers. There are times when I randomly get disconnected for no apparent reason even though my Internet went down. There are times when Blizzard randomly decides to implement a patch with no warning, forcing everybody out of a game and having everyone take a loss. You can purchase loot boxes with real money to earn items faster and duplicates do get turned into currency.

    The second complaint about the game is balance. I really have no idea what they were thinking when they did some of their patches. Soldier 76's and D. Va's shots were made to be highly unstable to the point where you literally have to be in their face to use it. McCree constantly moves between insanely broken and insanely useless. To top it off, too many characters have invincibility abilities. While invincibility might be nice for something like an ultimate, far too many people have it as a defensive ability, especially when they can still be targeted by allies for things like healing and they still are counted as contesting a point.    … Expand

Not only that, but the playerbase is unbelievably toxic in and out of ranked. Throwers, leavers, general griefers in chat and BM all around.

It's difficult to ever feel good at playing this game since you're not given the opportunity to select the character you enjoy or want to learn. Rather, you'll need to pick the tank or healer role most of the time. The alternative is that everyone is a sniper or Reaper and you'll lose the game within 30-45 seconds (this has happened to me more than once). Unless you're a huge Blizzard fanboy, more power to you if you are, this game gets old extremely fast. The $60 price tag for consoles is ludicrous, and Blizzard has the audacity to bring in microtransactions on top of that price. Every one of my friends I've played with has gone right back to whatever game they were playing after about 2 hours of Overwatch.

    P.S. A game being "polished" is not a feature, it just means the game is actually working as intended.
    P.P.S. A game cannot be credited for "world building" when the only lore exists outside of the game. Where are all the former Destiny critics on this one? Winston says the world needs us? Somehow that translates the world needing us to push this car from point A to point B. Things can't be too bad in this world if the worst problem they need the Overwatch folks to solve is a flat tire.    … Expand

    I played the beta for Overwatch and in my opinion.. It was all that good. It just seem's to be another generic fast paced shooter with loads if things going on. Its also repetitive which is never a good sign.

    It's okay, but not for a full priced game. Not much content, extremely repetitive after ~5 hours, and the skill ceiling is insanely low. Clicking Q and killing the entire team isn't very fun or skill-based.

    - Very, very short games. 5-10 minutes for match.
    - Long time between matches. Long post match screens, long hero selection and long "warmup" time.
    - Playing to looking at menu time ratio is 50:50.
    - Very casual, there is no real learning curve and because of this even great player will be killed by one of too many "luck", "no skill required" shots from novice player.
    - Microtransactions... I just don't support them in full AAA price title. This game looks and feels like a F2P game (F2P with micro transaction is acceptable for me).

    BIG PLUS:
    I requested refund as this game didn't suit me well and Blizzard wasn't making any problems.

    Overwatch is popular, and it scores highly. Is this because it's a mind-bendingly great game? I don't think so. I think it's average at best, shallow and flawed at worst. I think the reason it's scoring so highly across the board boils down to three factors:

    2) Blizzard has a fantastic marketing team. I think the shorts are better than the actual game. They've really created a world that is exciting and interesting.
    3) Blizzard has some pretty devoted fanboys/girls. Many companies have blindly devoted and un-objective fans, and Blizzard is no different. It helps that this is their first new IP in ages, as well as Blizzard's first foray into the FPS market.

    The actual gameplay? It's alright. I was never a fan of asymmetric competitive shooters, so that doesn't help. In general I find the game to be just... decent. Not bad at all, but not great either. I played every character in the beta for a few hours, and I can tell this will be another game that I play for a few weeks and then slowly stop once the buzz wears off.

    The heroes are very unbalanced. The game follows a "rock-paper-scissors" mechanic when it comes to combat (e.g. hero X has a much lower chance to defeat hero Y than hero Z), rather than encouraging using and learning mechanical skill. The HUD is horrible, and solo-queueing is the most frustrating experience I've had in multiplayer games in a long time.

    The game is REALLY team based, meaning that no matter how good you are, you can't carry your team to victory. So forget getting any enjoyment from the game if you don't have at least 3 friends to play with.

    The maps are poorly designed, with multiple chokepoints which result in long lasting stalemates (even up to 10-15 minutes because of the overtime counter).

    The game is only fun when you play maybe one to two matches per day, and when you are winning.

    So I watched the trailers and the character videos, which initially had me saying "Oh my god this is Pixar the shooter, amazing! I went into this game excited by the style and variety of heroes.

I went into this game excited by the style and variety of heroes. I was not left completely disappointing as the animation of the characters is stunning, and at times the game can be pretty fun.

    The unfortunate thing about this game is it feels terribly unfinished for a 40-60 dollar game. There are so few maps, like 3 game-types, and although there are 20+ heroes, there really isn't any way to customize their play-styles.

    The game is a full price game with the most disgusting F2P micro-transaction system I've seen in a game (crates drop when you level up, no other way to receive in game currency or crates even though you already spent full price on it).

    Another issue is characters are just terribly unbalanced. I play D'Va personally and find myself switching to junkrat and demolishing (literally) the opposing team considerably, and this is due to a terrible lack of damage, and very little thought to her ultra (with that being said her E attack can be pretty useful when timed correctly). Character like MCree will just need to see your team and instantly gun them all down from any distance thanks to his ultra, and Hanzo's insanely cheap through the wall arrow shot is sure to hit a few people as well. D'Va's ultra is composed of a big shiny mecha catching anybodies field of vision, giving five+ seconds before blowing up, and giving everybody plenty of time to find cover.

    The rubber-banding issues are insane, and I've had blizzards servers crap out on me a total of 3 times so far. If your looking for a good hero shooter with a decent f2p model, look no further than Dirty Bomb. At least Loot Cases drop after matches, heroes while not perfectly balanced are far more balanced than Overwatch, and the shooting mechanics don't feel like a tacked on afterthought.

    I really wanted to love overwatch, but instead I'm left dissapointed at a Beautiful, yet overprice, overhyped, and under-balanced product. Had this been free to play or even maybe 15$ or less, maybe I'd not feel quite as strongly as I do, but until Blizzard gets it together I really have nothing better to say for them.

    TLDR: If you love Moba's but wish they played more like a shooter then Overwatch might be for you, if you want a great hero shooter however don't make the same mistake I did and avoid this one like the bubonic plague, and hop on Dirty Bomb.    … Expand

This game was built more for team play so its hard for anyone to carry. You will always need a healer just to get anywhere. There was nothing in this game that blew my mind. Maybe it might appeal to people who never played TF2 when it first came out. It currently feels like a f2p game.

If, however, you crave white-knuckle, skill-based shooter action, you will come away disappointed.

    There is very little scope for individual ability to shine - the game is entirely team based, resulting in a dull experience where nobody is really any better than anybody else. Combat is dominated by the Q button, which releases ludicrously easy, mega powered specials. The guns themselves are incredibly weak otherwise, resulting in combat that is slow and uneventful. If you shoot somebody, their healer heals them, resulting in a lengthy, tedious stalemate until somebody busts out their Q-button special and kills everything without any skill or aim at all.

    It's ironic that in a game where the characters are described as "Heroes", that there is no possibility of individual heroism at all. Teams clump up like sheep and heal each other. This is no game for heroes, this is a game that rewards the herd mentality. Unlike any respectable shooter, it is virtually impossible to take on superior numbers and win because the skill ceiling is so low. No, heroes need not apply in Overwatch.

    Map design is very questionable with some nigh on impenetrable choke points, an issue further exacerbated by the presence of some extremely campy characters, resulting in static rather than dynamic gameplay and a crushing sense of the inevitable since, once again, we can't call upon superior skill to help us overcome the odds since there is no skill in overwatch.

    Overall, Overwatch = Underwhelming. Mildly fun in small doses, but shooter fans will come away feeling very lukewarm.    … Expand

    The problem is that the characters, lores, and stylized cutscenes are not in the game.

    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

    That said, even if it's an incredibly well developed and maintained title, it has something that goes wrong when talking about the fun that it gives.
    Matchmaking is slow (sometimes it reachs 5-6 minutes to find a match in Europe, than after the match you have to wait again), unconsistent and the number of concurrent players is far from being the "40 million" they advertise so much.

    The hero skill based gameplay, even if it's almost balanced after lots of update, it's far from being a competitive style of game, on wich they push so much: it's a slot machine team game, where the only thing that matter is not shooting but using nicely your skill and, most of all, the ultimate, the unpredictable gamechanging factor that ruins everything. I know it's a cool idea, but it's not meant to be done for competitive and fair kind of games.
    The most frustrating thing is that a match is mostly based on shield heroes and support ones. Some of those last ones are, also, a lot overpowered and nothing has been made to balance them. Even if a support should be used aggressively, you should not design a character that does area heal, has a shield, has stun and does a lot of melee damage.
    It also seems like the game want to please everyone, giving medals and highlight randomly, also to very bad players during the match without reason.

    The community is sometimes toxic, sometimes weeaboo, sometimes Brizard's fans. I'm not saying it's always that way, but during my hours of gameplay I've got some encounters like that.
    The undoubted overrating behaviour arround this title seems in part caused from this very last part of the community.
    Also it's true what they say: if you are solo or you are in a team but with very incompetent friends, don't think the matchmaking is gonna give you match based on your overall skill level.

    I won't talk (and considering in the score that I've given) about the lore that is pretty cheap both in narration and articulation, since it has nothing to do with the gameplay.

    Lastly, the incredible lack of maps and modes. Heroes are enough, skins and collectibles also, but stuff that regards gameplay is in miserable quantity for a paid online-only title.    … Expand

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.

The vast majority of players just auto-lock the one character they play, take the most direct route to the enemy and start shooting at the first enemy they see. They will fire at a shielded Zarya over an unguarded Mercy. It would make a lot of sense if most of them were bots, but then at least bots will actually play the objective.

    All this is surprising considering how simplified the game is compared to other similar games. There's no ammo, no fall damage, and very simple maps.

    - If you wanted to play TF2 in the modern era, this game would be its successor.
    - Astonishing graphics with minimum requirements from your hardware
    - Unique character personalities that we can all identify with
    - Music and sound effects are top notch
    - Different ways to play the game, at least that's what they want us to believe

    Cons:

    -Balance is really out of control and it gets worse from patch to patch. Blizzard is unable to find a middle ground between overnerfing or overbuffing a hero, thus creating frustrations for months to come.
    - Lack of transparency between Blizzard and its community. No patch notes for most of their updates.
    They act like they care, but instead they do the opposite of what the community wants.

    Example : D.va had gone through so many changes, back and forth, that her role isn't even clear at this point.

    - Releases are really really rare. So far it's like 3 heroes per year, which compared to other games is not something to brag about. Events are not that often, you can count them with just one hand.

    - Balance changes and bug fixes take forever to happen.
    Example 1: Torbjorn's hammer was bugged, thus making him build and repairing turrets 25% slower, making him a pain to have on your team. Blizzard was aware of the bug, yet they fixed it after 3 months, 3 months in which Torbjorn was unplayable.

    Example 2: Widowmaker had been nerfed since launch for her quick scope and easy kills. It took Blizzard more than a year to even start repairing her issues.

    - Unless you have a group, it's extremely frustrating to play this game alone. The game focuses on 2 game modes:

    1. Quickplay is oriented towards the casual scene where people can train and get the hang of new heroes. Problem is nobody is playing this mode as a team. Everyone chooses whatever they want to play with no regard to what the rest of the team needs to even have a chance of winning the game. Team cooperation is close to impossible, unless you've got a group which can easily cause you to regret playing the game. The matches are utterly either a stomp fest on you where the opposite team doesn't even let you touch the objective, or you're stomping the enemy team, thus making it unchallenging and boring for you. I've yet to see Quickplay matches actually fought on equal terms, it's always one team is superior to the other in most cases. It's the mostly the game's MMR that does a bad job at matching equally skilled players, whereas favoring how much a game is found for you, rather than the quality of it.

    2. Competitive is meant to entertain the hardcore crowd, so you'd expect cooperation to be better than Quickplay. Well, yes and no. Most people do want to cooperate to win, but they literally force you to play whatever they want to make sure of it. Popular opinion is extremely influenced by the meta. If you're playing something out of the meta, they start being toxic towards you, before even getting a chance to show what you can do. This is literally the most toxic game that I've ever seen.

    - Game is getting more and more casual with each patch. Player skill is starting to count less and less, while the accessibility of easy kills with hero abilities is rising with each patch.

    Conclusion:

    As it stands right now, do not buy this game.    … Expand

    It would be a solid game. But you should expect a less buggy game and especially a server with less random disconnects. The character are rather balanced and the events are entertaining. Still the other flaws just pull it down. Don't get me started on the ranking system and the matchmaking.

    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.

The TL:DR is - I would be lying if I said the game hasn't given me good memories but frankly I can count the times I closed the game in a good mood on my fingers. The simple truth to why the game leaves a sour taste in many people's mouths, as well as mine, is that it's just not really an FPS. The marketing and surface-level gameplay make it out to be just that, but I would argue the game possesses much more MOBA elements rather than FPS ones. Sure, you shoot guns and the game is first-person but the focus is more on team fights, and getting something done by yourself is a rare occurrence, much rarer if you stick with the game and actually climb the ladder. Frankly, no other game is similar to Overwatch in that aspect and a large portion of the community, as well as the balancing team really, can't handle such an innovative concept, which results in the infamous toxic players. You'd think there would be some compensation in terms of varying game modes but there is just one - a competitive mode. Even that mode is barely playable due to the constant smurfing as blizzard has put 0 effort in trying to put a stop to it, with many signed players openly smurfing on streams. "Ah, but what if I play with 5 of my mates", you would be matched against another 6 stack with at least 1 being a booster/smurf. "At least the lore is good and the characters are interesting" you might have heard but the lore consists of 5 animated shorts and 10 comic books. Even so, all of them are build-up with none actually attempting to progress the story in any way. If you are reading this and still wondering whether you should buy this game - just don't bother, play any other shooter or MOBA as this doesn't excel at anything.… Expand

    OverWatch has a great variety of heroes to play. 32 characters over all that are split into 3 groups. Tank, support and damage. This system was forced some time ago into a 2/2/2 system. 2 tanks, 2 healers and 2 damage. Before it was that you could pick any. This system was even pushed onto casual modes.

Tank, support and damage. This system was forced some time ago into a 2/2/2 system. 2 tanks, 2 healers and 2 damage. Before it was that you could pick any. This system was even pushed onto casual modes. This leads to high queue times as a damage while tanks and supports got a near instant queue. Blizzard has repeated the same mistake they have done in World of Warcraft. The reason for this system was because they could not balance around a specific strategy called "goats".

    Out of these 32 characters, only a couple of them are viable if you want to win. Especially in ranked. Blizzard managed to bring imbalance into such as small number of available heroes to play. The damage role has 17 heroes to play. Out of these 17 only a handful are viable to play. 7 tanks, 3 are viable at best, 2 at worst. 6 support characters, 3 are viable if you play a high rank, 2 are viable if you don't. The hero balance is awful. If you don't have 2 viable heroes but the other team got them? That's a lost game. Only 32 characters and they managed to have an insane imbalance. Tanks are not very much played because the ones that are viable are simply not fun if you have to play them every single game to win.

    There hasn't been any new content for the last 2 or so years as Blizzard works on OverWatch 2. There hasn't been any news about it or anything really. But Blizzard abandoned OverWatch as a game. Seemingly OverWatch 2 is OverWatch but with an added PvE mode. Nobody knows what the developers are doing at this point.

    The maps are ok. I am just wondering how nobody ever at the development team stopped for a moment on Horizon Lunar Colony and Paris and went "Maybe this is design wise not a good choice". These two maps are the worst and many people skip them. They were removed from competitive games because they are that terrible. The latest added map was a deathmatch map for reasons beyond mortal understanding. Nobody plays deathmatch.

    The report system is automated and stack based. Not reviewed by any customer service, so pretty worthless. The message that pops up when you report someone that you report them to "the Blizzard customer service" is a straight up lie.

    Loot boxes are terrible and should be banned. Not exception from this game for it.

    The recent experimental build was great because it came from actual players of the game. This company has people employed for the balance and lore. We have not gotten any significant lore (people ask for an extension of Sigmas lore since ages) since forever and lore additions itself are very rare. The writers are paid to do nothing, same for the balance guys. What a dream job these lazy developers must have.

    There was some weird update where they removed all regions, which led to insanely high pings because you were put into servers far away. Since this update my average ping is around 10 higher. Occasionally I am still getting thrown onto NA servers while being in Europe. The matchmaking system has been awful since then too.

    The game itself is great if you jump into it for a few rounds as a casual but if you expect anything more then you will be in for a disappointment. This game is good to play a couple of rounds and then stop, otherwise you will notice the heavy flaws very fast. Blizzard completely lost the hype of the game. If you want a better experience play Paladins.

    I give it a 5 because it's fun if you don't think about it too much, casuals can still enjoy it and it atleast gets new skins for events. But a lot of points are removed because Blizzard gave up on this game. It seems like they gave up on ALL their games. A shame really because the game could be much more.    … Expand

    It's a competitive shooter with an insane level of love and polish (like virtually all Blizzard games). Underneath however it just seems to be an underwhelming TF2 clone, defend or attack an objectives and level up.

    The leveling up is pointless too as you just get appearance packs. You don't actually get to customize your load-out or anything like you can with Team Fortress.

    I think I'll be trying out Battleborn again once the majority of the technical issues have been fixed. Right now I believe Overwatch is absolutely not worth the asking price and you should wait unless competitive shooters are really your thing. Overwatch doesn't try to do anything innovative or different for that matter compared to similar objective based shooters.

    Is it fun? Yes, when your team is playing with the correct heroes.
    The caveat: You will be utterly annihilated if just one or two people from your team play the wrong characters.

    It's a very unbalanced game by design it seems, I can see what Blizzard were going for but in practice matches simply revolve around playing the correct character more than actually playing well. Heroes which aren't defenders cannot do much good on their own which is to be expected but requires complete team co-operation which is an unrealistic expectation unless you're playing with friends.

    Overwatch, the video game disappointment of 2016.

    The game is clunky, hitboxes are terrible, there is video evidence shown how the hitboxes count literal misses as "headshots."

    The hero design is terrible, every hero has what amounts to an instakill. This is put in the game to help make the game accessible to every skill level. Some heroes have literal aim assist to help them (you can watch "arrows" curve towards their target. Numerous characters barely even have to aim. The game is "accessible." In addition to that, 4 (yes... 4) heroes have the ability to completely deny damage (as in remove it entirely), and all of the abilities to do so are on a ~6 second cooldown. That's absolutely ludicrous design for an FPS, it punishes good aim!

    Map design is bad... Many maps have small choke points some with only a single entrance, all of them are easily locked down, this turns the game into a meatgrinder until either the attacking side manages to eventually break through or the game ends (TONS OF FUN!)

    Matchmaking is forced 50-50. You can cheese the system by leaving games you're losing but despite being an incredible player, your W/L will tend to 50/50 regardless unless you're in an organized team, this is because it tries to even you out by putting you against far better teams if you're above 50-50.

    Dev response time is slow, this is Blizzard we are talking about...

    20 Tick servers because "E-Sports" (Blizzard will never understand that concept)

    Content is limited, 2 game modes and a small handful of maps, all revolving around high stress objective based gameplay and it's highly unlikely any more will ever be added.

    Overall an "okay game" that was hyped up way too much and is definitely not worthy of a "skill based" disclaimer.    … Expand

    Huge lack of hero diversity, way too slow new hero releases means you will see have very frequent mirror match ups. Ranked need a soloque as most 5 or 6 man stack will dominate soloque players. Game feels bland as everything revolved around a choke point and lack of diverse strategy.

    Not enough content , overpriced and micro transactions plus a broke hit box drug this game to below average status.
    I would not recommend this game to anyone looking for a competitive fps but if you look for a fun pvp game and you have a few hours to play every month and don't mind gambling with loot boxes overwatch is for you.

    - Loot box lottery; gambling style mechanics designed to push sales of loot box microtransactions.

    - Terrible character balance leading to mandatory picks and/or mandatory stacking in games, especially in higher level play once people have learned how to avoid the lesser balanced characters.

    - Horrible map design which favors defending teams allowing them to hold choke points directly outside of their base easily while attacking teams have to run 10+ seconds back from a spawn point after waiting 6 seconds to respawn. Additionally, defending teams get a 60 second head start which allows them to easily camp the initial attacking team's base with impunity.

    - 20Hz tick rate and predictive "favor the shooter" netcode that leads to lots of cheap deaths and kills. Turn off your kill cam unless you like to rage.

    I scoff at the very notion that this will ever be a competitive shooter. We're already watching competitive outlets outright ban maps like 2 Control Point and community map voting rules have effectively banned King of the Hill maps. No custom servers, no server browser... this is a casual game through and through, designed solely for people to pick up and play a few matches then put down. If ever anyone needed proof of this, just look at how Blizzard was quick to address an animation cancel for Widowmaker that promoted skill. (Third post time is a charm, I guess.)    … Expand

    I got Overwatch after some peer pressure from friends, one of the reasons I was against getting it was because of major hacker problems. Guess what, It still has hackers problems! But the thing is; it doesn't really matter that much on open play or bot matches because you can still have fun, just don't expect to win every match.

    Now for Ranked matches, hackers should be dealt with but it seems alot fall though the cracks because of the way the characters, and skills work. Is there a lot of hackers in the game? Yes, in fact its fully of hackers but there are also a lot of highly skilled players who have been playing since the game launched and being able to tell the difference between them is near impossible sometimes. You can blame Blizzard here for allow net cafes (PC Bangs) in Korea for this problem - they recently banned 20,000 accounts? But since they can create an infinite amount of accounts and smurf accounts it really compounds this problem especially if they don't get banned quick enough.

    One of the things I don't really like is that fact the match making system is obviously worthless, it just doesn't work. I'm a level 15 currently, a new player...so why am I'm being placed in matches against level 300s? This absurd matchmaking is one of the reasons why I'm deducting points, in a game that is 90% Competitive PvP - a proper matchmaking system is important and Blizzard fluff'd this.

    Next problem is the absurd and overpowered characters, some characters are so WTF overpowered it isn't even funny, and other characters are almost pathetically underpowered. But most of the time, it isn't going to matter that much at least when your enjoying the game.

    I like the idea that you can get some decent stuff from loot boxes without paying, and the MTs don't effect gameplay at all, which is kinder rare these days for FPS games.

    Another problem is that, honestly? There isn't very many maps, limited variation - it seems they added a few new game types called "The arcade" which I haven't tried yet, but I'm going to assume if they use the same match making system then for new players, it is going to be a waste of time and will be frustrating.

    The Co-op feature vs Bots is something I feel like I'm more able to enjoy the game, and I wish more game modes was available. Finally, it seems a lot of the reviews have compared this to TF2 and honestly, I saw that immediately when I first played the Route 66 level, the color and style felt almost like a rip off - another issue is that with this 50/50 win/loss ratio, getting placed into a good team and being carried, winning several matches...then being placed into a team with wildly different levels then losing then next few matches.

    In hindsight, Overwatch isn't a bad game, not worth $60 and I feel bad for anyone who paid full price at launch and regretted it, I paid $40 for the GOTY edition and looking back, I feel like I should have just got the basic version and saved $10....however, I'm okay with my purchase and this game is something I can have fun with, new players though I don't recommend binge playing because you could quickly get bored with the repetitive maps, and loses due to poor match making.

    Another major issue is the fact that getting skins, especially with the current "anniversary" event is way way too hard, or way too expensive. The fact that you could easily spend $100 on loot boxes and STILL not get the particular skin you want says how offensive the micro transactions can be.    … Expand

    The attempt is not bad. Its a game based on tons of fun and interesting characters. Each character has unlockable tags they can spray on walls, voicelines, victory poses, skins etc. It has quite a few levels to play in and the graphics are really nice.

    Not to mention; the player base is toxic as it could get, if you're a positive player, and have a nice attitude, good luck, as you'll be offending those brats that you're friendly with.

    There are just too many annoyances from characters; they're diverse, fantastic! Are some well-balanced? Yes! But some... are just too **** overpowered and beyond annoying!

    Widowmaker has no sway on sniper-mode, deals too much damage still and you can't even hear her ultimate which is seeing through walls.

    Tracer; the most annoying **** character you can play as, being way too **** mobile and obnoxious while dealing a **** of damage in a short manner of time.

    If these things were fixed, Overwatch would good. But as it stands, it's just a **** cheap Team Fortress 2 with craptastic servers. I'm not even joking around here, this is a horrible mess of server management, and even for a first-person shooter, where you need high reflex, you're only gret with "Favor the shooter", where you die by hiding behind a wall, only to see that you got shot by another player who lagged his **** out.

Whut?

    Yeah, this game has potential, it has promise, but it also has a lot of problems too. Character balance is awful, fans of the game will tell you that it's an amazing game where being able to change your character means it's a constant game of rock paper scissors. That is until you realise that half a dozen characters in the game are both rock and paper, or scissors and rock, or even all three, when played by someone with a modicum of experience.

    Half objective based team shooter, half team deathmatch, the game shines when it is played like the former and results in pure frustration and anger because 2 or 3 people playing it like the latter can ruin any real sense of strategy or territorial control.

    But then the game clearly isn't set up to be a game of tactical nuance. Spawn times are almost non-existent meaning defenders are constantly able to defend, and maps are so poorly designed that they're either too open or too narrow.

    But ultimately (no pun intended?) what kills it for me are the one-two combos that many characters have that are nigh on impossible to counter without one of those rock and paper characters I previously mentioned. Roadhog's Chain and point blank shotgun blast will kill almost anyone in one shot after dragging them (with no counter and a stun) to right infront of him. McCree can stun you in place with a flashbang, unload his 6 shooter, roll for instant reload and shoot you for 6 against straight away. Mei only has to start hitting you with her stream of ice and, unless you have some kind of "escape" ability, you're going to be toast as she freezes you in place and then lines up a headshot while you can do nothing and kills you.

    This game is touted as supposedly being about being a "Postive" FPS, where people aren't downvoted or reported, where people are encouraged to commend people for achievements, where everyone gets "elimination" stats for having taken part in a kill. But at it's core it's a devious deathmatch game which rewards trolling behaviour by one player against another.

    But fans will tell you that there is depth and skill to this game, which may be true for Blizzard fans that have come from outside an FPS environment. For those of us that have been playing the genre for 20 years aren't seeing anything fundamentally new here, and what is new (the MOBA ability elements) are hamfistedly introduced without care for what makes MOBA games work... that good positioning and ancillary item use can counter and lessen the effects of people's abilities and ultimates, something entirely not present in this game.

    Over-hyped, this game could be mindless fun, but it's not even that right now.    … Expand

    CONS:
    -Incredibly fun and addicting
    -21 unique characters with satisfying and rewarding abilities

    -Heroes are pretty balanced against each other in a vacuum (HOWEVER, the game isn't a vacuum. See below)
    -Beautiful game design, smooth operation
    -Great and easy to use group feature

    CONS:
    -Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE map design. Perhaps some of the worst maps ever made into a shooter game can be found in Hanamura, Temple of Anubis and Volskaya Industries. These maps are comically easy to defend, and require a level of total and complete team competence to attack that is all but unheard of in a pub setting.
    -Similarly, cheese defense is way too easy and way too effective. Yes, heroes like Bastion and Torbjorn may be counterable in theory, but actually going out and breaking their line of defense on the game's atrocious maps is perhaps the hardest task I've ever come across in a video game
    -Overtime is similarly a very poor design. Losers become winners and winners become losers because of it. Often times in the control point modes, a team will hit 99% but they will not win because of their defenses finally cracking during the game's ludicrously rewarding overtime.
    -20 tick servers are awful, you will get hit around corners a lot
    -Because of the issues above, the game is about as competitive as a game of catch
    -low amounts of content but I'm not scoring on this because it's definitely going to change as the game evolves

    Overall, I give overwatch's current state a 4/10. It isn't anything spectacular and is plagued by a number of nuisances that just aren't suitably beatable for pub play. That being said, it's a great amount of fun and it will definitely stick around for a while.    … Expand
