    Hola esta es una critica en español y mi opinión de OW es de que es un fiasco y un total intento fallido de hacer un juego como el TF2 solo que los de Blizzard le agregan los poderes secundarios tipo moba y ya con eso según ellos tiene un juego la pura verdad este juego va dirigido al publico masculino y a niños por el echo de que trata del típico escuadrón de HÉROES y en TF2 no solo son 9Hola esta es una critica en español y mi opinión de OW es de que es un fiasco y un total intento fallido de hacer un juego como el TF2 solo que los de Blizzard le agregan los poderes secundarios tipo moba y ya con eso según ellos tiene un juego la pura verdad este juego va dirigido al publico masculino y a niños por el echo de que trata del típico escuadrón de HÉROES y en TF2 no solo son 9 mercenarios con mucho carisma, la gente que consocio el OW conoció primero al personaje femenino Tracer y luego ala WindowMaker gracias a paginas de arte o vídeos para adultos si saben de los que dijo y para mi es la primera ves que veo mucho de ese contenido para adultos y así ha pasado con todas las Mujeres del OW y hasta ahora la única que les interesa es la D´va por su estilo como chica Otaku Gamer.

    Y otro punto es de que el juego es puro OLINE y tiene los mismos modos de juego como captura la bandera, captura el punto de control, y la que mas me llamo la atención fue la de Carga explosiva como se dice en TF2 (que consiste de llevar por unas vías de tren un un carreta una bomba y llevarla su destino) pero a qui en ves de ser una bomba es una limusina blindada, la verdad es los mismos TF2 sin excepción solo con mujeres muy sexualizadas y el publico no ve las criticas reales que son las de los jugadores a mi en lo personal no me interesa una critica de un critico de Ahora por razones de corrupción, lo malo que el juego esta incompleto solo ONLINE en serio a pero eso si puedes comprar skins que para mi es como si el juego lo hubieran echo hace 6 meses no loan terminado por falta de dinero y como se lo gastaron mas en propaganda de todo tipo si hasta contenido para adultos por que esos artistas no cobran barato y debió ser un buen trato, pero volviendo al tema del Gaming es igualito al TF2 y el TF2 es gratis y la comunidad genial pero esto que esto no es un juego real esto es un juego reciclado y pagar como 999.00 pesos mexicanos no lo vale y creo que sera de esos juegos como TF2 que antes fue de paga y después Gratis y como deje antes ami se me hace un juego incompleto y que aparte sera terminada después de recaudar dinero con los skins .

    Personajes:
    Los personajes de OW para mi y en verdad 2 o mas hacen a uno del TF2 como un ejemplo: WindoWmaker+Hanzo=Sniper del TF2 pero por que miren para los que no han jugado TF2 el sniper tiene varias arnas pero se dividen en 2 Sniper y arco y tiene la misma jugabilidad hasta las dos armas de Window que son el sniper y rifle de asalto eso los tiene el mismos Sniper pero del TFClassic y así con todos Tracer+Lúcio=Scout, Spy=Genji+Reaper+McCree(El spy tambien depende de los disparos ala cabeza), Ingeniero=Torbjörn+Symmetra, este he visto en el juego de OW 4 Heavy=Roadhog+BASTION+WINSTON+Zarya, Medic=MERCY+Zenyatta, Pyro=Mei, Saldado=Soldado: 76+Pharah, y al final mi perosnaje favorito del TF2 que es DEMOMAN que se comforma 2 uno repetido que son: Demoman:REINHARDT+PHARAH(de nuevo)+JUNKRAT ere fianl es el mas copiado por si lanza bombas lapa y su famoso sticky jump, mismas mecánicas en todos los personajes y por favor antes de critica mal o bien un juego comparen los 2 tanto como OW y el TF2 que tiene suerte de ser gratis y no pierden nada

    Motivos por que su éxito:
    1.- Mucha publicidad de cual quier tipo sin perdonar.
    2.- Gaming reciclado de un FPS real que es el TF2 que lleva mas de 9 años apenas en este año.
    3.-Personajes femeninos muy sexualizadas tanto como en FanArt como en el Juego.
    4.-Mucha prensa Corrupta.
    5.-Una jugabilidad muy fácil como en PC y en consolas que la verdad lo puede jugar un niño que juega COD o Splatoon sin tanta experiencia.
    6.-El juego esta dirigido al publico masculino de 12 a 25 años.
    7.-Texturas muy infantiles y no tiene Gore.
    8.-Y personas que compran jugos pro moda.

    Gracia por ver este comentario y piensa lo 2 veces por que como dicen en steam no hay devoluciones Saludos :D!

    PD: Estes es un mensaje para todos los jugadores de OW o fanboys que dicen a los de TF22: juégalo antes de criticar al OW pues mira yo te dijo los mismo con TF2 juega primero TF2 compáralo con el OW y tu dime cuales mejor por que eso de decir que por que tu juegas al OW y muchos estén de acuerdo con eso argumento no se me hace una excusa ni aceptable por que el TF2 ya cumple en este 2016 sus 9 años desde su entrega y se me hace una tontería de decir eso pro que el OW es de paga y por que uno que no le gusta ese juego lo va comprar para hacer una critica buena pero en cambio los de OW puedes criticar al TF2 en total por que es un juego F2P y muchos jugadores le dan de User Score 9.1 t los críticos 9.2 en cambio el OW tiene miren que es raro decir esto un juego reciclado de un juego de VALVE que por los críticos: 9.1 en pc 9.1 en Xbox one y en Play Station 4 es de 9.0 he pero esperate esa son de los críticos pero la que en verdad importa es del consumidor osease el publico y mira que hay un cambio drástico: PC:7.0, y las mas fatales XboxOne:5.7 y Playe Station 4:6.2

    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. A great game then, by the sound of it? Well, not quite. Balance is a huge issue, matchmaking another. Level design is also poor. GameThe attempt is not bad.

When matchmaking throws you into a fight, alone in your team against six in the opposing team, the round ends in just seconds and you are punished with a defeat in your "season", whatever that is... then you are left with that odd feeling (is this the beta? I paid money to play this). This is not Blizzards courtyard, yet. Once Overwatch 2 or 3 hit the shelves, I think that those might be really good games. Expand

    Addictively fun, colorful, technically highly polished game with great character design BUT with a very questionable gambling-like microtransactions/loot system. Personally I don't think paying for cosmetic upgrades in a full priced game is bad per se. But the way Blizzard did it in Overwatch is not OK.

Now lets go to the main review: The game is good but not excellent and has potential to be something amazing...Gameplay and overall game mechanics are taken from TF2 but the heroes looks like something more close to Dota. It could be fun but in most cases very annoying due to unbalanced heroes,maps and abilities. The good part is that it will last for a few years at least and we are going to receive updates and new features from time to time. Also the sound is good and along with good graphics and optimization makes me to say that Overwatch is a must try game. Although the price is too high for this kind of game. At competitive mode the game is currently an attempt far for being good at this chapter but it could become good if they will continue to balance it because is hard to balance this kind of game where every hero has some special ability which is overpowered over another hero...The game is not competitive neither fun as well just aspire to be mediocre at both competitive and fun. Sincerely TF2 was so much better and fun, characters were more fun definitely. I think Blizzard is not experienced with FPS so this should be the cause for the mediocrity of game. On the other hand the item drop is good and even better we don't have microtransactions. There is a chance to 50% to like this game...I dont know but personally I liked it very much in the begining but got bored after 20 hours of game. When we talk about the events this is not a big deal at all as well because you get only some crates with skins and a special brawl mode (plus a main menu theme) and thats all...no map decorations or something special...(50/100 for me considering that that Blizzard still makes good games) Expand

    It seemed too good to be true that there are 20-something balanced heroes in OW, so I had to pick up the game and find out for myself.

It's technically correct that the heroes are all varied and balanced, but the way Blizzard has balanced them has been to make them all have fairly glaring weaknesses that need support.

    There are other games that are perfectly balanced where you still feel like you can make a big difference in a game, but in OW if the teammate you need to support you fails you're going to fail too without question. Players are essentially cogs in Blizzard's team synergy machine (but they're such well balanced cogs!).

    I think a great point of comparison is Evolve, which many critics said was too simplistic. OW is by any measure more simplistic than Evolve, except to maintain fake balance your abilities don't do anything compared to what they would in Evolve. If you don't do something about the Shield Beam in Evolve, the monster will lose without question, and when the Support goes down if the monster can't keep him from getting revived that can be game over. In contrast, Zarya in OW has a shield that lasts like 2 seconds. Big **** deal. Reinhardt's shield can be broken by Bastion in like 3 seconds - but it's never just Bastion, is it?

    I can't explain why I keep playing it.

    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.

    Fun FPS. No more. The game play is the same as Team Fortress 2, with better structure and quality of servers, and even simpler for new players, but it lacks of more game modes, something that make you feel that you scale your level, and a Story mode (single or Co-Op). Its fun, don't get me wrong, is fast, it's perfect for some fast games when you only have 20 minutes of free-time.

    The team build is quite simple, and is not as mandatory to win as other games, but it doesn't mean that a good pre-made would not make a difference.
    The bad point is the different versions, that you pay A LOT for too many trash for other Blizzard games, even if you don't own them or play them. IMO the cheapest version is the best option.
    By the way: it has NOTHING of MOBA mechanics, and it's a casual FPS...

    The game is fun, I will give blizzard that. but at 40 dollars and 60 dollars for the origin edition, this is a complete rip off. Not only that, to play online is extremely taxing on your internet connection. You need to have a high end Wi-Fi connection to be able to enjoy this rip off of a game.

    Titanfall had an effective online story campaign in which ending scenes depended on who won the match for that scenario. Titanfall doesn't have the character appeal of Overwatch, which baffles me that there isn't a story mode at all for Overwatch.

    Overwatch feels like an updated version of Team Fortress 2 with Smash Attacks borrowed from the Smash Brothers, and skills you can use reminiscent of a MOBA. They integrate all of the abilities seamlessly, and it works so well that it's currently holding the entire game together.

    Overwatch is a good team-based FPS, but for it's own longevity it simply needs more content to explore.

    "Overwatch? More like Overrated" is set to become one of the great gaming cliches for which 2016 will be remembered.

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.

    - 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.

    The most interesting mode, Escort (where you push or defend the cart TF2 style) doesn't have enough maps, where the other modes rely on lazily made symmetrical/mirrored maps with not much scope.

    Overwatch aims to be casual fun with your friends as well competitive if you want to be, but the skill floor is so high it doesn't take much skill to use certain abilities that you can't do much about unless you're a specifically hard counter character - which is a poor excuse for balance if you ask me (whatever anyone says)

    Overwatch WILL be a great game eventually, when it's balanced properly and gets more content. All future content will be free, and with over 10 million players already, it's worth being part of the movement if you have the money burning a hole in your pocket. If you don't, wait a year or so until it's fixed I will probably be giving it a much high score, we'll see.

    Animations are fantastic.
    And most importantly, it is super fun if you have friends to play with.
    My biggest issue with this game is that the current server tick-rate is sitting at a very disappointing refresh rate of 20hz meaning that sometimes you will die from bullets not registering properly which is unacceptable from a competitive standpoint, and let's be honest, Blizzard will push this game to be part of the eSports scene.
    Also, the content is very lacking.

    Now, from this point of my review I want everyone to understand that what I'm going to say are completely my opinions and takes on how I enjoy video-games overall, so don't take this to heart.
    First of all, I'm a very competitive person, I have been playing fighting games and arena shooters for almost two decades, and what I enjoy the most of the games I play is how high the skill ceiling is and what your character's limits are and what you can do with him but, when I watch Soldier 76 mauling everyone without having to aim with his ult, Reaper's Ultimate and Bastion players sitting in one place shooting and killing everyone in sight with apparently no recoil whatsoever it's really off-putting for me.
    Now, I'm not saying that these particular heroes are over-powered since you can easily counter them with another hero, I just don't like the little effort that you have to make to kill someone in this game.
    I also think the maps are not that good with poorly placed health packs specially if we compare them to TF2's extremely memorable maps.

    TL;DR:
    The art-style is definitely my favorite aspect of this game and it is super fun with friends but, from a competitive standpoint this game doesn't appeal to ME, I know everyone is enjoying it and that's fine. The content is very lacking too.
    Kudos to Blizzard for such an extremely successful game.

    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.

    I bought this game an in my second match the game was putting me up against people level 90+, there wasn't a single person in the game that was even on a similar level to me. Every single player had at least tens of hours into the game more than I did.
    I'm told this is because the game enforces a 50% win rate, so basically I was being sent into hell because the people I was playing with

    I'm told this is because the game enforces a 50% win rate, so basically I was being sent into hell because the people I was playing with were doing too good and they needed a good loss to bring them back in line. Great Blizzard, just great, that's a perfect way to introduce people to your game.

    That doesn't mean the game isn't without positives, it looks great, it runs great, the heroes feel pretty well balanced, there aren't really any duplicates in the roster. But since there are no dedicated servers that you can run yourself that's it end of story you're stuck with the enforced 50% win rate, as opposed to interesting games or good teams or even being matched up with players of a similar skill level, nope 50% win rate.

    This game should be much higher than a 5. The gameplay is good, the game is well polished, and Blizzard has worked hard to balance the heroes since launch.

The gameplay is good, the game is well polished, and Blizzard has worked hard to balance the heroes since launch. I had a blast with overwatch when it first came out and for a few months afterwards. The problem is player population. As the months have gone by, the shrinking pool of players in my country has caused the matchmaking to become worse and worse. It is now common to spend 3-4 minutes waiting for a match, even during peak times in the evening on weekends. These long waits are more often than not followed by an unbalanced match. I have no problem losing games, what I have a problem with is getting steamrolled by the same team 4-5 games in a row, then steamrolling another team, or getting backfilled into a losing game with no chance of winning. I understand that online matchmaking is not a perfect science, and the algorithm is probably doing the best that it can to provide good matches, but there simply are not enough players to make it happen. The $70AUD price tag for a multiplayer only game almost a year after it's release is almost certainly the cause of this problem. This game deserves a 9 for it's gameplay, honestly, however Blizzard's desire to gouge Australian gamers is killing this game, at least for me. Expand

    Matchmaking was broken in the Rio patch and, as dramatic as it sounds, I've been unable to find any fun in the game since. I've seen games with a total level of 1000 against a total level of 300, which end in about four minutes.

    Крайне посредственное произведение от "Метелицы". Голый скелет, не обросший плотью и органами. Всё что есть в этой игре это шутерная механика, с уникальными героями и их способностями. Однако стоит учитывать игра очень командо-зависима, а вам каждый раз будут попадать рандомные люди, а обсудить с ними тактику, выбор героев вам врят ли получиться.
    В игре абсолютно отсутствует сюжетная

    В игре абсолютно отсутствует сюжетная кампания, нет кооп миссий, даже катсцен. Зато есть сундуки за донат, с рандомной наградой в виде скинов, победных поз, граффити и прочего мусора. Ведь микротранзакции это именно то, чего не хватает в игре за полную цену.
    Мой вердикт - кал.

    The "WOW" factor is definitely there and with a developer like Blizzard, you can expect regular updates and patches. Excellent graphics, diverse characters (excellent character design), fast fast game play. It also has short games with short wait times. For 1st time players, there's a much-appreciated training mode to ease you through. Matches are fun & killing opponents satisfying.

    I tried most of the characters. I loved playing Genji, Tracer & Bastion.
    The problem is that there is not enough content to justify its price tag. There may be 21 characters but none of them can be further modified (save cosmetically). There are lots of maps but most are repetitive.
    Another problem is with the PS4 controls. I may have not gotten the sensitivity settings right (used default, then tweaked every 4 games) but I found it more difficult to to track enemies with the cursor compared to COD, Destiny, Borderlands. The cursor usually ends up overshooting. Like I mentioned might be due to the settings. Problematic when playing Widowmaker
    Good game overall

    Brings nothing new to the table. Just a super polished Team Fortress 2 with some moba some skills added. It is a fun game while it lasts, got to add release price is just out of hype, no multiplayer only game deserves that much money.

    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.
