Jun 3, 2016This game is nothing like TF2. It's incredibly dynamic and the interplay between the 21 heroes leads to unique situations in almost every game. People complaining about poor value have not taken into account the incredible amount of time spent on getting 21 heroes, all completely distinct in terms of design, gameplay and visuals. It's a real achievement.

May 25, 2016Game is not perfect, but close. Munch stylized graphics, superb voice acting, mechanical sensational, fun, affordable and very well optimized.. I did not expect much of the game, but Blizzard surprised me completely. Recommend!
-
May 24, 2016Awesome game, haven't had this much fun in a FPS in YEARS. Add in the fact that future hero's and maps will be free, I'll be playing this game for years
-
May 24, 2016Fast, satisfying action with 21 different ways to play (and more on the horizon).
This game isn't trying to be anything other than a team-based shooter, and if that's not what you want to play, then this isn't the game for you. What they set out to do though, they do with perfection and is absolutely worth your time, especially if you have friends to play with. -

Sep 24, 2021This is by far one of the best PC games I've ever played. I didn't start playing until 2017. Even in 2019, they're still adding stuff and not charging you for some bs DLC
-
May 26, 20161. No one cares if you're poor
2. No one cares about Valve, they're a dead company anyway
3. No one cares if you're catching feelings about single player content, we don't want it. -

May 31, 2016Very addictive. Best enjoyed with friends.
Every hero plays completely different and they're all very fun once you get the hang of them.
OK that's all folks I'm going back to play some more. -
Apr 24, 2018The single best game of all time. The only problem with this game is other people, specifically the people that pick characters that don't fit the team composition and refuse to change. They suck. The game doesn't. A flawlessly designed game with infinite replay value and constant content updates. Blizzard is the best at making games for a reason.

Jun 8, 2017This game is amazing. It's better than any other recent FPS game in my opinion, and costs less. It's all about teamwork and objectives, so if you're the kind of player who just wants to get the most kills, this isn't the game for you.
-
May 25, 2016Excellent shooter. Have been playing it non stop and it just never gets old! Easy for casual gamers, challenging for hardcore gamers, and both can play together without feeling one is a drain on the other. Perfect!

May 27, 2016Best FPS I've played in a while. It just keeps getting better the more I get to know the characters.
The animations are slick. Character design is amazing. All the heroes play entirely differently, and all of them are fun. This game even makes being tank or support fun. -
May 27, 2016Wow dunno what to call it really other than original. Gonna be a great game for a long time. 10/10 all the dif ppl are dope in their own right, all in all just a really deep interesting game.
-
May 25, 2016Nice shooter!
I was years without play FPS games and this one made me get back to this genre.
I have no complains about Overwatch right now and hoping for new content in future. -

Jul 20, 2017When the game first came out, there was barely anything to hold one's attention. Now, comp mode, new characters, maps, events. This game has been drastically overhauled. It is now the most quality online fps on the market. The balancing has seen significant improvements. Easy 10.
-
May 24, 201610/10 , the best shooter online multiplayer in years. Characters very inspirated, and sistem of rotation maps very good. Blizzard is the best company actually,

May 24, 2016Great and fun game. Recommended for everyone. It takes a few games to start learning the maps and the heroes which in itself is a fun experience.
There is a great in game voice chat which ensures that your team do no longer connect on skype, team speak or mumble.
Find a few friends and get started! -
Oct 4, 2016I love Overwatch. I've been playing it since release, and I have about 200 hours on it. I'm an average/below average player if you look at my SR. Matchmaking can be atrocious at time and grouping up with five random people can be a task in frustration. But overall I've had and hope to continue to have tremendous fun with this game for the years to come.

May 24, 2016simply one of the best shooters i've ever played. full stop. get it right now! also. dont get on console. incase you're new to blizzards games. they're known like valve for abandoning there console ports soon after release. isnt demanding anyway. trust me.
-
Jun 12, 2016Easy to learn super difficult to master. I just want to keep playing - which speaks to the game play. I play the game because it's fun plain and simple - not because of rewards or progression - just because the core of the game is amazing.
-

May 24, 20165/10 because the gameplay is too hard for the kiddies. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> It's actually pretty good.
-
May 25, 2016It's a nice shooter from Blizzard, not to serious, not to cheesy. For me, person who hates military shooters this title suits well. The game is very fast paced and there is always some action going on, which is great.
-

May 25, 2016A hallmark of game design. The only reason the user score is mediocre is because of salty trolls who feel like they have to get on and bash the game even though they only played a few hours in the open beta and decided it wasn't "hard core" enough for them.
-
May 24, 2016From the locations & character design, voiceovers to creative and unpredictable gameplay this has to be the best FPS released in recent years. It brings a fresh breeze to the genre that grew a little stale over time. All with the high polish that is Blizzard's quality trademark.
-
May 25, 2016One of the best FPS games I've ever played. And I'm saying this as a die-hard arena-fps fan. The newest Unreal Tournament and this is going to be in a great competition!
-
Nov 21, 2016Might be terribly expensive, but after playing this like 16 hours in 2 days, I must say that this game is a Must-have PC game.
Lose your social life.
Go buy it. -
May 25, 2016Great fun with a surprisingly deep meta / counter-picking strategy element to it. If you were expecting TF2 with updated graphics, it's WAAAAY beyond that and you owe it to yourself to give this gem a try.
Easily the best game of 2016 so far, and probably the best game of the last several years. -
May 26, 2016Simple the best team shooter outside., Easy to get in , hard to master. dont beleave the haters, this game is a blast with friends. Blizzard did it again.
-
May 28, 2016The score is low because all the player of CS:GO are underrating this game. The game has its good things and bad things but in summary I think it deserves a 9 and could reach 10 as begin having more free content .
-
May 26, 2016This game is absolutely phenomenal . Hands down amazing. The game play feels smooth and very well polished. It's also quite well balanced. Stop reading this review and go buy it!
-
May 25, 2016Overwatch brings the asymmetrical FPS genre to an entire new level. Each character is a completely different experience, and even though some of them may seem overpowered, as Bastion or Mei, it's completely up to developing your skills as a player and having fun. A MUST PLAY
-
Jul 24, 2017I spent $40 on it 6 months ago.
Have played it non stop.
Cons: some very salty, toxic players
Pros: Extremely addictive, smooth gameplay, very strategic and tons of easy fun.
Just don't play competitive mode unless you want your blood pressure to rise. -

May 29, 2016The most refreshing game in the last century.
Amazing gameplay, very polished and fast paced.
I have more than 40h of game time so far and I haven't got bored for even a second.
Yes the game costs money, but all the content that comes in the future is free of charge.
Don't listen to all the people that cry about the cost, because the game is worth every penny. -

Oct 9, 2018This is just here to balance out the unfair zeros, I actually give the game a 8/10. The combat is fun and surprisingly doesn't get repetetive after hundreds of hours.

May 25, 2016This is what you get when you combine a MOBA like League of Legends or DOTA and throw in some Halo. Very team based game focusing on objectives while mixing in the intensity of crazy firefights. Focusing on team position and communication is key. This game is a lot of fun and it's still fresh, once Blizzard releases more game modes then the game will just grow.
-
Dec 9, 2016I'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! -
May 24, 2016This has a LOT of differences when compared to TF2. This game is very diverse with all its characters. The maps are also really fun to play and the gameplay is amazing. It's a game I really didn't expect to get into playing but I did anyway. I'm glad I did.

Jun 6, 201640$ to get matched up with retards. 2 game modes, less than 10 maps. Less content than Battlefront. 1 point because it doesn't crash that much. Waste.

Jan 21, 2017Awesome 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.

May 24, 2016I play the game since closed beta. I couldn't stop playing overwatch.

May 25, 2016Overwatch is a class based shooter that does everything right. I won't lie my faith had been waning with Blizzard as of late but in Overwatch you can clearly see a passion that I wasn't sure Blizzard was capable of anymore. 10/10.
-
May 24, 2016Simply put this is the best multiplayer first person shooter since Team Fortress 2. I played the Overwatch beta more than I played Star Wars: Battlefront and Titanfall combined, it's that good.

-
May 24, 2016Battleborn is dead, and Uncharted is tired and boring... so what do you do? You play something that's actually inventive and fun. Overwatch is so much fun, and the reason behind that is all the variety and ways to perform in combat. It looks great too. Battleborn is the ugly rip off of Overwatch and is about as fun as Star Fox Wii.

May 25, 2016At first,, I didn't seemed to like the game by watching gameplay videos or streams. Still bought it, since I was lookin for another competitive game. I wasn't disappointed. You are into it very fast. Its really easy to pickup, but hard to master. Makes ton of fun. Nothings a better feelin than seeing your play in the play of the game clip at the end.

May 24, 2016Fantastic game. It was ready for gold release at beta time. Worldwide launch yesterday showed few hiccups initially, but after about 3 games smooth as silk. Played in a party all night and had a blast. The most fun I have had in a game... since I can remember. Best purchase of 2016 so far. Don't miss out on this game.
-
May 27, 2016Best game so far to play with team mates. Perfectly balanced, fast, beautiful. Its gameplay is amazing and perfect and the team play dynamic requires organization and team work.

May 27, 2016Most fun in a shooter that I've had in a long while blizzard really out did themselves this time, It is the most fun playing with friends rather than alone though because it is really team based.
-
May 25, 2016'Overwatch' is a the most versatile FPS I have ever played. I love the team aspects and especially the variety of characters you can choose from. There is a lot to learn here about game-play and tactics, but I have had fun every minute so far. Cannot speak highly enough about this game.
-
May 24, 2016This game is amazing and another homerun for Blizzard. It looks fantastic on all systems, is perfectly balanced, and has a character for every style of play. With a focus on a level playing field, the game is more about skill and hero choice than who has the better gear (as all unlocks are cosmetics only). With promised free heros and maps on the horizon, this is a must own.

Apr 20, 2018Overwatch 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.
-
May 5, 2017I'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.

Dec 8, 2016Overwatch 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.
