    Overwatch WAS great - for a while, it was the best multiplayer game out there, but sadly, Blizzard ruined it. New charecters that are added feel stale, role queue makes the game unfun to play casually, and Overwatch is getting a sequel that adds little to no content. This is still a fun game, but in its current state, I can't reccomend anybody to buy it.

    Poor gameplay, no synergy between the characters (which means lack of depth to the game), awful matchmaking, lots of smurfs, toxic community, useless reporting system (you'll get reported for simply being good at the game and might get banned if you get a considerable amount of reports) etc. etc.

    I originally wrote a review here and I feel like I need to revise it, This game as of late has become completely unplayable. Not in a sense that you cant play it but in the sense that the game itself makes you not want to play it. I didn't think the matchmaking system could get any worse but it seems to have.

The system if you don't know is designed around a 50/50 win loss ratio but as of the last few weeks before writing this it has changed to 10/90 win/loss. That is ridiculous. Now I don't know what system they use to choose who gets put in the majority win or the majority loss group but from what I've seen of reviews its either people losing excessively or winning excessively. Blizzard has completely destroyed this game from what it used to be and honestly as of writing this I love the gameplay and concept of the game itself, but I don't think I can keep playing it for sanity sake. I just don't want to play a game to have a good time only to end up having loss after loss ruin the little time I have for gaming, good job blizzard you really are a horrible company now.… Expand

    There is no balance in the game! What happened to Blizzard? It's all style over substance now.
    You either lose by a huge margin or you win by a margin, the middle is not!!!!!!

    Overwatch has a roster of great characters (and I mean them as characters, not heroes to play as and against), is very good-looking, allows to create custom game modes and has a feature to give players something to do while waiting for their queue. However, its other aspects heavily outweight that. Yes, so heavily that it's worth 0 to me.

However, its other aspects heavily outweight that. Yes, so heavily that it's worth 0 to me.

    Regarding balance, Blizzard cares only about balancing the game for Overwatch league which works out okay for grandmaster players but is pretty much a "screw you" for the remaining 99% of the players. Of course screw them, it's OWL that brings in money, not players. That, or whoever is responsible for balancing has IQ far below average. For instance, Brigitte, one of the support heroes, was forced into F tier for the majority of the players in August 2019 and was only getting weaker since then. And how would you like a sniper that can't be countered because Blizzard was dumb enough to give her ways to counter her counters, removing any weaknesses a sniper is supposed to have so the only actual way to "counter" her is to win a sniper duel against her? And of course she oneshots non-tanks and deals very heavy damage to tanks.

    Ranked play is full of throwers. Good luck getting anywhere when you constantly lose matches because your teammates decide to not let you win. But I guess it's an issue every team game will have. Anyways, if you want a competent team you'll have a much better chance of getting it in casual play.

    Not that it would matter since matchmaking is terrible. It literally forces 50% winrate. You steamroll, then get steamrolled, then steamroll again, then get steamrolled again, and so on. Sometimes comes in packs of two to three.

    I started playing Overwatch almost two years after its release and missed out how it was promoted by Blizzard and how it was in the beginning but I heard a lot about it being a game where you can play any role an will still be able to contribute to your team even if your aim is bad because there are heroes that aren't heavily reliant on it. Well, good luck playing support when you are a free kill for any flanker or diver. Brigitte was released as a protector for her fellow supports but she's resting on the bottom of the trash bin so it's back to free kills. And good luck playing tank when you get annihilated in a second. Barriers help with that. Or used to because Blizzard has been actively trashing barrier tanks and now two out of three are outright unplayable. Healing also helps with that but healers get nerfed. Not to mention that Blizzard is thinking of implementing a limit of one tank per team. Sure, tanks got some buffs to compensate. Some tiny tiny buffs that don't stop them from dying at a moment's notice. And damage heroes are just op as hell.

    Sadly, Blizzard hasn't been about gamers making games for gamers for a long time already. And current state of Overwatch along with epic fail with Warcraft 3: Refunded actually makes me worried for the fate of Diablo IV and Overwatch 2.    … Expand

    Casual playing is fun, but there is no team play. Competitive gameplay has team play, but a toxic community with super competitive no lifers.

I feel like you will have better luck than me if your better at shooters than me though and are able to get a higher rank (I went from gold to bronze in 1 day). Arcade & quick play are fun and don't make you want to throw your PC out the window, the modes are consistently changed making everything fun. Overall, overwatch is a decent game with the worst competitive mode I've ever seen, fun arcade mode and decent replay-ability. I'd say its worth 20-30 dollars, if you spend any more than that you got ripped of.… Expand

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

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