    Literally the worst developers when it comes to nerfing characters. Tracer's blink regens too quick, mei reloads too quick, zarya regens her bubble too quick and charges too fast. Moira can literally get her ultimate in 30 seconds of the game. Worst **** developers and whoever made Tracer and Mei can go kill themself

    There's no character balance in this game, and sometimes this game makes you angry, you can't enjoy it if you don't have a good team in this game.

    1) в команду тебе будут закидывать вечно криворуких атакующих, а против тебя чуть ли не про геймеров (не касается серверов америки-там с этим все нормально)
    2)твои атакующие ни разу не посмотрят назад, даже если их буду бить сзади(даже если сказать в чат-они его закроют, гениально)
    3)танки в защите НЕ БЕРУТ ЩИТЫ ,классика
    4)читеры и фидеры в каждом втором матче(не шутка, мне частенько присылали слова благодарности на репорт очередного читака)

    Unfortunately great visuals and audio design do not make up for the horribly flawed gameplay fundamentals. If you're looking for an FPS game to play, look elsewhere. The easiest heroes to play are the most effective 99% time. High skill cap heroes get countered by braindead heroes that can be operated by a quadraplegic. A-D crouch spam with flawed hitboxes. Maps look great, but most feel terrible to play. Balance changes are slow and based on quickplay instead of competitive play. New heroes are powercreeped and overkitted. One of the worst matchmaking systems in any competitive games. Noticeably decreasing playerbase. Dying esports scene, which is not surprising because Blizzard has been known for a long time to be incompetent in that area.    … Expand

    Is Overwatch worth getting into in 2020?

    Depends on the kind of person you are. If you like to play team based pvp shooters in a competitive environment, you should stay away.

    Overwatch enables every kind of team destroying behavior, may it be opting out of communications or throwing a game without consequences.

    Absolute garbage. What's the point of having 23 characters when the same broken OP ones get picked every game? And Blizzard couldn't design a matchmaker to save their lives. Between this, Starcraft 2 and their recent efforts in WoW, it's obvious they really don't belong in the business of making PVP games anymore.

Most of them are just recolors. Blizzard knew this game have shallow game mechanics but well polished, they even wanted to put it as free to play. But then they saw hype is building up, and understood they can charge people for that. Usually people who played 4 - 6 hours (total gameplay) say it is awesome.

It is Enemy Territory polished to a mirror sheen. However, it is very simplistic. The game evokes Enemy Territory's gameplay, but lacks the experience and talent development system of that game. It also lacks any kind of inventory or character customization. That would be fine, except the classes are extremely barebones. The fact that most abilities cooldown within 2-4 seconds leads to crazy amounts of spam, and the winning teams almost exclusively include some combination of Mei and Junkrat. Ice wall spam ruins the fun and Junk Rat is easily able to get his ultimate and get 2+ kills every time. It would make sense to work off of the audio cues to try and dodge, but since his bomb-tire has so much health and can be controlled and has a massive blast range, it's hard for all but the most agile heroes to dodge. Roughly 50% of my deaths in game came from that one ultimate, even after I learned the audio cue to spot it.

    Allowing multiples of the same hero on the same team, while often touted as a deep strategic choice, only encourages spam. There are enough characters with enough tactical overlap that it would not be detrimental to limit teams to one of each character. Allowing people to change characters mid-match is also a bit goofy, since the matches are only about 10 minutes long, while players are locked into the same class for 20+ minute games of Heroes of the Storm.

    I look forward to the game after some balancing changes, specifically: increasing the cooldown on Mei's ice wall and reducing the damage or radius on Junkrat's ultimate.    … Expand

    21 heroes is plenty for release, and the interplay of direct counters (such as snipers hitting the large bodies of tanks with ease) make the strategic elements in the game great. However, you get 12 maps and only 3 game modes. THREE.

    I played this game thoroughly throughout the beta, and I had a fantastic time testing out characters, understanding tactics for each objective and so on. The issue is, once you have got to grips with it all, what else is there? No ranking progression, no single player, and merely vague promises of additional maps and heroes coming.. as usual for blizzard "Soon TM".

    If you are the kind of person who can play the same experience for hundreds of hours on end (which admittedly is likely a large portion of the FPS player base), then sink your money without care. Those of us who enjoy variety might want to steer clear until a more appropriate price point is settled or more content has been added.

    I think the life span for the game is an issue, and it could go the way of most other AAA purely online shooters- barren within months    … Expand

    2. Gameplay was very repetitive for me. So I couldn't take more than an hour a day of this ... shooter. I was trying like 5 heroes a day but in the end you will have to choose the hero that your team need to win. So I always must play heroes with extremly boring gameplay for me in order to get a win.
    4. It was also surprising for me that a game with small maps and little players number has such system requirements. I can only hope this was and intended feature of the game's engine so that it will develop more efficient or smth like that.
    3. They were making a free to play game, but when the main development was over they made a f2p game cost 40$! So basically it is a worse quality game because it was meant to be free, but they unlocked donation content so you have to pay for it a lot.
    After all, I can say that this game wasn't innovative or addictively fun to play. I gave a 6 to this game, cause it also has quite intresting story for each character, but it is completely ignored in the game, when everybody is killing each other with no lore reason and there can be 2 and more same heroes at the same time on the batlleground, so it was the same mistake like in heroes of the storm. I wonder how the game could've be if there were 2 opposite alliances of heroes like in wow, and the battlegrounds were actually some sort of scenarios and had at least some kind of intro for them on the loading screens.

    The heroes are very unbalanced. The game follows a "rock-paper-scissors" mechanic when it comes to combat (e.g. hero X has a much lower chance to defeat hero Y than hero Z), rather than encouraging using and learning mechanical skill. The HUD is horrible, and solo-queueing is the most frustrating experience I've had in multiplayer games in a long time.

    The game is REALLY team based, meaning that no matter how good you are, you can't carry your team to victory. So forget getting any enjoyment from the game if you don't have at least 3 friends to play with.

    The maps are poorly designed, with multiple chokepoints which result in long lasting stalemates (even up to 10-15 minutes because of the overtime counter).

    The game is only fun when you play maybe one to two matches per day, and when you are winning.

But after they finish the review, they stop playing the game. So in their mind, the game will always be that much fun and rewarding, when it fact it will not as it currently stands. But they were left with a good impression just based on the first ~40 hours or so they played it and they will move onto other games to review.

    RIGHT NOW, yea, the game is fun. But there is an eventual problem:

    -After a couple weeks, when you're taking a lot longer to level up, the Loot Crates take much longer to come by. You won't be seeing any rewards for just playing the game. That EXP bar will be moving in very slow chunks. You'll be tempted to spend MORE money on Cosmetic Loot Crates in the Blizzard Shop.

    -Blizzard better add a HELL OF A LOT MORE GAME MODES - NOT JUST MAPS OR NEW TOONS. THREE game modes?... That's it? That will get boring and repetitive real fast. In fact, it's already boring and repetitive.

    -The game is not worth $40, much less $60. It should be free-to-play. It is very light on content, has zero class/loadout customization outside of cosmetics and they have a Microtransaction Shop to let you BUY Cosmetic Loot Crates if you don't even feel like playing the game that much.

    These review sites are completely ignoring the long-term value of the game, of which there is very little to look forward to at the moment. They've been sucked into the intro experience and are not weighing what's to come, which appears to be just more cosmetic additions to the game.

    My review? 7/10 until Blizzard adds something more to this game. Maybe even some sort of co-op PvE mission-based stuff. Only reason I'm scoring it this high is because I do have faith in Blizzard to update and improve the game down the road. They have dramatically changed games like Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft with patches over the years, so there is hope. But how far down the road?. The core gameplay engine is solid, but there is very little to do with it in this game except run around in circles shooting at other people running around in circles. And your only rewards are a random assortment of cosmetic clothing or decals for 21 different characters, some you might not ever bother playing. It's not enough to give this game legs, IMO.

    6 vs 6 is already tiring. Blizzard can do better than this.    … Expand

    Based on my time in Closed and Open Beta along with a limited bit of time after launch, I initially gave the game a pretty favorable "9" rating. After a full week and slightly more than one full day of actual game time, my opinion has trended decidedly downward so I feel I must revise accordingly.

    All one needs to know about Overwatch can be gleaned by looking at the in-game/Battle.net    Based on my time in Closed and Open Beta along with a limited bit of time after launch, I initially gave the game a pretty favorable "9" rating. After a full week and slightly more than one full day of actual game time, my opinion has trended decidedly downward so I feel I must revise accordingly.

    All one needs to know about Overwatch can be gleaned by looking at the in-game/Battle.net achievement list: Many of them rely on luck, some require only time, and few require actual skill.

    There is a potentially good - no, great - game here but it is wrapped up in a myriad of poor design decisions such as questionable character balance, poor map design, poor netcoding, and the allowance of hero stacking (which exacerbates all three of the other issues). There are tons of complaints about individual characters but the issue really is a combination of all four problems always happening at once. Sure, the complaints about Bastion's sentry mode with no slow down on aiming, no spread on shots, and no ramp up before firing are valid but they're almost always a problem BECAUSE the maps are designed to heavily favor defending teams by either providing too few pathways for attackers, by allowing blatant base camping, or by putting an easy to defend choke point right outside of the defending team's spawn base (while the attacking team usually has to run a fair distance from their last checkpoint after death). Now add that the game allows multiples of the same character and one can see how the issues become multiplied.

    There's also the fact that Blizzard themselves have confirmed that the game's servers only run at a 20 tick rate (less than a third of what's considered minimum standard) and also includes a baked in latency delay to "favor the shooter" (read: prevent the need for leading shots) *on top of* each player's normal latency. Cheap, unavoidable deaths (such as being killed as Mei while in Ice Block or as Tracer after Rewinding because the server simply didn't "see" it relative to your opponent's latency+built-in delay) are frustratingly frequent.

    The matchmaking system is just... bad. I generally split my time between running in a small group of 3-4 people or running solo depending on time of day. Not that it matters, mind: Regardless of running solo or grouped, either you're going to steamroll the opposing team or you're going to get steamrolled. In 213 games played so far, I can say that two dozen (or less) of those were close matches where the teams were really fighting to win. As for the rest, we either won by a large margin or lost by a large margin and very few last longer than 7.5 minutes. This might seem fun at first but it quickly becomes mindnumbing. I'm not sure what they use to determine rating for matchmaking but it feels off and it certainly doesn't help that some maps are designed almost entirely to promote steamrolls by the defending team - maps like Temple of Anubis and Route 66, both of which my usual group now leave any time they pop up in the rotation. Not because we can't win on them (we can and have) but because they're simply NOT fun to play on EITHER side.

    There are very few elements of skill in Overwatch, mostly found in the support cast of Mercy, Lucio, Symmetra, and Zenyatta. For everyone else, this is a game of luck: Lucky timing on the acquisition of ultimate abilities, lucky placement of the enemy team, lucky netcode timing/lucky connection, lucky map selection, and so on. I would love to say I have faith in Blizzard to deal with these imbalances but I simply do not considering many of them were known as far back as Closed Beta and still went live at launch (not to mention their 8.5 year long struggles balancing Warcraft's Arena PVP system with far fewer classes).    … Expand

Some support have more dps then offence. The game is a huge mess, someone needs to completely rework the heros.

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.
