    Let's be objective. Have been playing Overwatch for 9 hours (got 14 lvl already) and need to say that game is so unbalanced. You can take the same heroes and get rekt everyone. For example, in defensive mission (like the Moscow one) take 2 Bastions, 2 Torbjörn, 1 tank and 1 healer and have the easiest win. Or D.Va and Junkrat with their ulties against the team escorting the vehicle, radiusLet's be objective.

    Blizz literally took the worst from TF2 and Borderlands and totally ignored the best. This game is enjoyable but still feels like beta - so unfinished, so empty and so unbalanced. If you haven't bought it yet, do it in the next year, mb Blizz will finally finish it.    … Expand

    My thoughts are....

    Gameplay.

    + Fast, addicting. Games can last 5-10 minutes and only take a few seconds to hop in one. At the end of each game you are always begging for more.

    + If you ever played an arcade shooter like Quake, Dirty Bomb, Enemy Territory, and you enjoyed them, well then this game is for you. It fits in perfectly with those in terms of arcade fast pace fps.

    - Although there "can" be a high skill cap just like any game there is a limit. Spells are simple. Characters like Lucio have a heal and a speed buff. Outside of timing when to use it, there isn't much challenge and reward into playing the character. You don't get rewarded for swapping between the speed and heal, or anything of that sort. This follows with all the characters.

    Characters

    + There's currently 21 and given how short games are, I was abled and pleased to play them all. Some of them feel like clones off others games, (Reinhart = Mordakaiser) and others are copies straight from their own franchise (Torbul = Valve TF but uses a Dwarf race as an engineer)

    + All of the characters seem to have a fun addicting style of game play that keeps the game interesting.

    Maps

    + There's roughly 13 (??) I've enjoyed most of them and seem to have the best action in smaller more enclosed areas then the larger opposite.

    - A lot of maps have HEAVY choke points that when on attack side can feel like a real pain trying to push through 2 bastions and a torbul turret.

    - Some maps seem to have dead ends (The Chinese one for example). Also my friends and I occasionally get lost after a spawn has been moved and the walk is a good 20 seconds from the battle.

    Meta

    - The current pro scene seems to be playing lot of Reinhart + Mercy setups. I don't mine Mercy has a main healer but it appear that if you aren't using Reinhart has your #1 tank, you aren't playing correctly. I hope Blizzard nerfs him or finds away to introduce tanks better.

    Performance

    + It's top notched. The game runs smooth like butter. It feels like one of the most polished games I have played. Joining lobbies, games, navigating the menu system, is all fluent and quick. It's a masterpiece by Blizzard.

    Overall

    Best way to describe my Overwatch experience ...... It's FUN. If you want to enjoy playing a game, pick it up. It's missing a hardcore competitive edge to it so it'll never bypass games like Counter-Strike but that's not it was designed.    … Expand

    This isn't the "I choose one char and keep on playing it" kind of game. The chars are all so fun, charismatic and unique that you want to try out all of them...and keep on switching during your gaming sessions.

    Only downside (so I would quote 9) are the character models. Don't get me wrong... The graphics are beautifull but I kinda feel like they're a little bit to manga-ish for me (I know manga fans will think otherwise and say they aren't manga at all).

    The fact that this is a game WITHOUT A SEASON PASS let's me add 1 point to my quotation! We want extra content yes, but don't publish a half-done game like SW:BF just to be able to ask people money for season passes right away...

I'm pretty sure it's more fun playing with friends, but for people who don't have that reference to compare with, it's safe to say that it's a fun game for them as well.

    The characters feel very different from each other and trying out different ones is one of the fun part in this game.

    Teamplay is key - you need to contribute to the objective. Kill count doesn't matter at all. In fact, a match is won when the objective is completed, or the timer runs out, not when certain kill count has reached.

    The playability is top notch. It feels tight and responsive, nothing to **** about.

    But having such little content (4 game modes) I have my concerns whether this game will entertain me in the long run. I don't know. But so far I'm having a blast and I've only tried out 6 out of 21 characters so far.    … Expand

    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.

    A long-term game that started with low content but month by month shows improvement.

    Good looking characters and well built

    New game modes: scort the payload, control, 1vs1, 3vs3... And one termporary mode every event.

    Events: new modes and customization stuff.

    And overall fun.

    In one word: Gorgeous. Truly there isn't anything negative I can say about this game's presentation. From textures to particle effects, from guns to snarky quips, this game is perfect in this category. Overwatch doesn't necessarily have the highest fidelity textures, but this game's unique style makes this game an absolute pleasure to look at. From the get go, this game bombards you with fantastic looking particle effects. Every explosion and ultimate is jaw-dropping and incredibly well done. The sound is amazing as well. I'm very particular when it comes to sound, but I think this is probably the best sounding game I've ever played. The soundtrack is great, the voice actors are great, and every gun sounds unique and well done.

    Content

    I guess the thing you should know going into this game is that it is multiplayer only. There is no single player campaign, and there is no co-op mode. There are also twelve maps and every map has its own particular gamemode. To me, that is a reasonable amount of maps, but for a game that only has multiplayer, I'd like to see more. I would wager to guess we will get some later down the line, most likely via a paid map pack, but maybe they will add some new free maps as this game progresses. Again though, this is a similar amount of maps that launch with other big FPS games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Battlefront. There are twenty-one different heroes that all have their own unique play style. I love the amount of variety in them, and with the loot box system, you can customize every aspect of them; like skins, intros, and voice lines, to your liking. Each hero has fifty-four different items to can get via the loot box system and you get a loot box for every level gained. You can also purchase them through the store. If this was a $60 game, I would worry about the amount of content, but the reduced price of $40 makes it worth it in my opinion.

    Gameplay

    This is where this game shines the most. Overwatch's unique blend of teamwork and gun gameplay gives it a fantastic feeling and very rewarding shooter. This game certainly will have the longevity everyone was hoping for and it seems like it will make a perfect game for the eSports scene. Like I mentioned earlier, each hero feels and plays differently, meaning you can vary how you play this game every match or every death if you feel so inclined. I don't think any particular hero is distinctly overpowered and every hero does have a couple of counters available. Obviously with every multiplayer shooter, your enjoyment is dependent at least in part on the other players in the game, but I find this game to be very enjoyable the vast majority of the time. I find it fun to be able to tailor my play-style based on the map, or the gamemode, or what my teammates are using to best help us win. With Overwatch, I can do that with the wide array of characters available. What truly keeps me coming back is finding your role within a team, and help leading them to victory.

    Overall

    This is the best shooter I've played in years. I think this game is a definite must-buy for any FPS fan. Now If you'll excuse me, I have to get back to playing Overwatch.    … Expand

    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:
    1) it's different - it's been years since a fundamentally original FPS with a large base of players has come out.

    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. It is fun to play with friends, I'll give it that. Just don't expect it to be the greatest thing ever.    … Expand

    At first I hated this game because I thought "Who would pay to play TF2???". It seemed so retarded.
    That is until a friend let me play on his PC and I immediately fell in love.
    I bought the game that afternoon and have never had more fun with a multiplayer game. And I'm saying that even though I also own BF1

    There are enough classes to choose from, for different playing styles, so that you will have plenty of hours of fun with it.

Overwatch lacks "traditional" features that would normally create all time great games. You won't find a compelling narrative or dozens of quests but what is here easily solidifies Overwatch's mark on gaming w/its perfected mechanics and style that have become synonymous w/Blizzard's name.

    Overwatch’s strength lies in its simplicity and polish. Much like Team Fortress 2 or League of Legends, two teams of heroes battle on a handful of maps, and modes all boil down to some form of escorting, capturing, or protecting an objective. Other modes are available, but the game is at its best keeping things close to the core, with maps everyone knows and easy-to-understand modes. While expectations today may call for a single-player campaign or a wide variety of modes, Overwatch’s consistently chaotic gameplay stands on its own, giving players the tools to ensure that no game ever plays out the same. These elements form the canvas where players paint unique experiences, match after match.

    One thing to celebrate about Overwatch is its imaginative cast of heroes, all of which are diverse and amazingly designed. They might not have pages of lore, but they all are insanely creative w/abilities that make sense to their character. Time-traveling Tracer spews quirky British quips as she blinks across the battlefield, while tanky Winston roars and pummels enemies as he leaps about. All of them have interesting personalities, and you'll favorite a good amount just by playing the game, a rare achievement for a multiplayer-only game. These heroes have unique skillsets that ensure no heroes play the same; you’re not just embracing the sniper rifle or the rocket launcher, but ability kits that come together to form each of the 24 heroes. This establishes that each character isn't relegated to a single role, but rather one that adapts to rapidly changing conditions, all without the need for a clunky progression system. Maps are also well designed and balanced, keeping the flow of action constant. This is all supported by controls that are quick and easy to get a hang of, and it speaks volumes to Blizzard's craft that all heroes feel perfect to play, not once did I get frustrated b/c of how a hero controlled. Whether it was playing point defense as Bastion or denying area control from the enemy as Junkrat, neither felt clunky to handle. Team play is the focus, and Overwatch encourages players to swap characters constantly to deal with the ever-evolving nature of a match. You and your friends can assemble a traditional or any combination of tank/support/damage group to push the payload to victory. Rallying together for a last second push to win the game after a brutal team wipe provides an enjoyment level equal if not more to the most engaging of videogame narratives. Actual progression is tied to the unlockable skins, emotes, sprays, and voice lines all earned by loot boxes at each subsequent level up. It's a fair system and the fact that Blizzard is onboard to support the game w/free updates and events in the years to come ensures that Overwatch is going to stay installed for the foreseeable future.

    Overwatch's visuals are lovely w/its colorful art style and simplicity. While there isn't buckets of gore or a menagerie of special effects, it's distinct and fitting to the universe Blizzard created. This approach also feeds into gameplay. Without an unnecessary amount of visual noise, it's easy to interpret what is going on even in the mayhem. The UI and menus are quick and clean to navigate, a rather underappreciated feature nowadays. The presentation is backed up by a spirited score which enhances the action, I felt like a kid watching his favorite heroes listening to the Victory theme, a feeling of both wonder and kickass unseen in many games. Audio cues by characters are also utilized to inform players of the shifting battlefield and whether or not an ally or enemy is unleashing their ultimate, which coupled w/excellent voice acting, further highlights the personalities of these heroes.

    For many gamers, it's easy to dismiss Overwatch as another multiplayer title lacking in features. While I do wished for a campaign that tapped into the potential of the story hinted, I'd ultimately rather have a game solely crafted from strong components than have a weak link dragging the game down. What Overwatch lacks in evolution, it exceeds in perfection of game enjoyment. Its profound ability to provide drastically different experiences with each hero ensures that fresh explorations and hours of renewed enjoyment are a single click away. Like watching your favorite heroes, Overwatch feels inspired and instills a genuine sense of fascination all w/o the need for a cutscene. It's polished panache and scores of fun will leave a legacy known for endless nights of entertainment.    … Expand

    This game screams quality.
    But... the lack of content is not to be ignored. There are (as of June 4th) 12 maps, 4 game modes, no campaign nor interesting single player experience and 21 heroes.
    I have to admit this turned me off a bit and almost convinced me to pass on this game. But i had waited for this game for over two years so i wasn't gonna do that.
    The funny thing is that i don't even regret it.
    This game is just wonderful. It's fun, pretty good looking and just plainly addictive.
    With the future updates including game modes, Heroes and Maps, i can easily say i'll be hooked on to this game for a while.
    At it's current 40 dollar price tag on Battle.Net i can recommend this game to anyone interested in it, don't let the lack of content be a turnoff.    … Expand

    I don't really know why too much people are hating this game, it's fun, the matches are different depending of which hero are you using, i've spent around 250 hours playing and it's still cool to me. I know this game it's perfect but c'mon it's something "fresh" comparing to all the generic shooters outside.

    This by means is not a perfect game and the value in its state is a bit overly expensive but as you reach the core of the main game itself, the gameplay, characters, and production value that was put into it; the game shines in a new identity for itself. In full honesty, I'd say wait for a sales drop, like 30-40 dollars to make this pruchase, otherwise though it's a great game.

    I 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.

    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.
