Эта игра ужасна во всём, в 2017 было всё хорошо, идеальный баланс но нет, Blizzard решили уйти в дерьмо, ужасный поиск игроков, имбовые герои Бригитта и Батист против них играть невозможно, игра набита толерантностью, ужасные карты, токсичные игроки, игра скатилась игре 2/10.

    Blizzard has continually, albeit slowly, adding new content in the form of maps and heroes. Fun action competitive multiplayer game. The matchmaking system can be frustrating at times.. I keep getting placed into late matches on the losing end.

    Overwatch has a great diversity of character /'Hero's' with special powers or an 'Ultimate' power. Each hero feels vastly unique from another.    Blizzard has continually, albeit slowly, adding new content in the form of maps and heroes. Fun action competitive multiplayer game. The matchmaking system can be frustrating at times.. I keep getting placed into late matches on the losing end.

    Overwatch has a great diversity of character /'Hero's' with special powers or an 'Ultimate' power. Each hero feels vastly unique from another. I've played a total of about 40 hours in the past two weeks (total in game time - not in lobby or waiting to play). The game is superbly balanced and runs smoothly on older systems GTX 740 with core 2 duo (at least 30 fps on med low settings).

    The color and contrast, and texturing of the game is far more appeasing to me than that of TF2 or Battleborn (too much color, and little shading). The maps are individually unique, beautiful and require different team strategies and hero makeup to overcome ones opponents.

    I'm having a blast playing Overwatch...That said, I would not recommend buying the game at the current price of $40. See below for reasons why.

    -Currently the community is irritating to play with, only 1/10 players in pick up groups use a mic.

    -As a multiplayer only game, it is disappointing that there are no options to filter games. For example, I'd like to filter out preformed groups when I'm playing with a random PUG group. Also, the matchmaking for this game is horrendous. I've been placed into a game that is within 1-2 min. of the end of the match and loosing several times in a row. Further on this point, the devs have stated that match making takes into account several factors...including player performance to match. It now seems like I am stuck with players who really do not play at all as a team (no mic, no communication) and as a result my wins : loses is gradually decreasing.

    -We NEED more maps. 14 maps and only 3 types of game modes (the game states 4, however, two of which are really the same thing escort vs the hybrid).

    -There is little sense of progression. Nobody gives a s**T about sprays.

    -The HIT boxes are larger than they appear, it creates a system whereby players with poor aim get many B.S. kills, evident by the kill cam afterwards and the occasional frag when you are clearly safely on the other side of a wall (attributable to the hitbox).

    -You can shoot through your allies? WTH? I can understand no TKs, however this creates a scenario where Hanzo and Widowmaker get a bunch of B.S. eliminations without having to really place their cross hairs on an opponent..

    Overall I very much like the game. Blizzard just needs to get more maps out, and create a filter system and then I would gladly bump my rating up to 8-9 which is a recommend from me.    … Expand

    - Техническая сторона. Слабые сервера близзард, других нет; порченная оптимизация и почти полное отсутствие своевременных фиксов сделали ов банально неприятным для игры. Постоянные ноуреги, фантомный урон, кривое отображение попаданий, пропадающие звуки ульт: все при этой игре.
    - Кривой матчмейкер. Джефф Каплан подтвердил существование скрытого ммр, по которому подбирает в ранкеде. Подбирает так себе: постоянные лузстрики чередуются винстриками, в итоге прыгаешь на 2-3 лиги порой из 7 возможных. Невероятно глупо и фрустрирующе.
    - Идиотский дизайн. Все красиво, но при более тщательном рассмотрении понимаешь, что на тщательно проработанных картах ты постоянно застреваешь в каком-то невпопад расположенном мусоре, а на особо чувствительных героях нифига не видишь из-за спецэффектов и нескрываемых маркеров.
    - Порочная идея командности с рандомами. Как вы себе это вообще представляете, да еще и на совершенно разных героях?
    - Почти нулевая поддержка для русскоязычного населения. Полгода пытался достучаться до техподдержки по поводу резко появившихся просадок фпс, в итоге купил новый комп быстрее. За год мне никто не помог и даже не ответил. Ххтьфу, позорные клоуны.
    - Коммьюнити. Уже отфильтровано, норм пацаны ливнули, остались только отчаявшиеся, как я, и больные на голову. Вторых гораздо больше кста. Игра сжигает до шкварок и сводит с ума даже самых стрессоустойчивых чуваков, единственный выход - полностью забить на то, что ты делаешь, и утратить счет времени своей жизни. Но это не нормально, это лечить надо.
    - Баны. Просто по приколу, по накопительной системе за репорты, БЕЗАПЕЛЛЯЦИОННО, в том числе на форуме. Годно? Ну, вообще нет.
    - 0 контента. 29 героев, ни пиков, ни банов, нифига нет. Кастомки лишь, которые обесценены, на кой черт надо? Скинчики, ивенты, все уже было.

    Ну, и в итоге хотите ли вы за это платить? За игру с токсиками, которая сожжет ваши нервные клетки, ничего не предложив взамен, и в которой вас забанят при первой же попытке хоть что-то донести до скота, играющего в это, словами? Конечно нет.

    Mechanically game is fun, but Blizzard had a long story of mishandling the PVP and cybersport aspects of their games and completely ignoring the playerbase and ALWAYS act like it's the community who isn't right and not them. In the end we will see them go down and forgotten, good job.

    Overwatch is probably not the best in any genre but it is probably the most polished multiplayer FPS on the market. It took awhile for me to get into it but now I am hooked on it and can never get enough. Most people are on voice and its pretty nice crowd as far as I know - Blizzrd's report system works ok I guess. I recommend this!

    It's clear most of the bad reviews here are just from jealous TF2 fanboys who probably haven't even played the game. Overwatch is an excellent game that'll keep you coming back over and over. Of course, it's not without its problems - but it's nothing Blizzard won't eventually fix.

    Game is ok, nothing ground breaking but polished. Yet even after almost 3 years the matchmaking is still horrible, the teams unbalanced, no real team play in a team based game and no efforts of the developers to change the core issues. It's basically the same game as it was at the beginning with the same issues which speaks volumes.

Although, what good are those if the core of the game, the gameplay, is enough to make you want to slit your throat. I've moved on to the game Paladins, which is a free to play game, and frankly, I wish I'd started with it 2 years ago instead of Overwatch. It is so much more rewarding, fun, and balanced than Overwatch ever has been. It is rumored that Overwatch is also going free to play to compete with Paladins in 2019. I'd wait for that before wasting your money like I did for an awful maddening experience.… Expand

All the complaints about lack of balance and broken characters are the inevitable realities of an online multiplayer competitive game with a large cast and various abilities--you'll find the same complaints on any game. Blizzard is still adding new heroes and constantly reworking the existing ones to shift the balance and meta to keep things engaging, so while it is at its core the same game it was 2.5 years ago, I find myself never really getting bored, especially if you play with friends. I also haven't found another AAA competitive multiplayer title with as much amazing diversity and inclusivity--if you aren't one of those people who whines about "too many women" and "how dare they include gays" it is a refreshing breath of air to not see the same grizzled white man or sexy woman in bosom-busting "armor" that plagues so many other mainstream titles. The issue of toxicity is also, in my opinion, quite laughable; have you seen the LOL or DOTA communities? What playing a game of COD or Battlefield can be like? Blizzard actually takes steps to address negative sportsmanship/toxicity in its games, and although it could be doing better I find it is way more enjoyable to play Overwatch than most other online multiplayer titles. Overall, it has its balance issues, it has its wacky lore issues, the community can be a drag sometimes, but I find so much charm and fun in playing the game that I don't see myself stopping anytime soon.… Expand

    What this game could have been..Due to the nature of this game, being team based, it is difficult to win games when other players do not communicate and change heroes to better the team when they are not doing well. This usually happens in every game, making the experience very dissatisfying. Unless you are willing to deal with bad teammates and very bad toxicity, this is not a good purchase.

    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.
