    Could stay a good game if the balance team got fired, but the incessant esports chasing removed any semblance of soul from it.

    RIP Overwatch 1, you we're legendary before Blizz put you through a content drought and replaced you with the literal downgrade that is OW2.

    Just playing all the arkade mode getting the boxes every week. It was just you know fun with your friends and so much do it. I enjoyed the box system. Just hey play some games get free 3 boxes every week. not to texting on the schedule.

    I do believe paying for the game helped the community a lot because you were a lot more invested in the game because you had to buy a new one if you got suspended, so that was way more better to play with the community and talk to them because now it just feels like a f****** hellhole overwatch 2.

    Was overwatch balanced no, but it was fun and us always a bit of happiness in seeing what weird ways the characters were gonna be buffed and deep off this time. It is sad that I never got to play The Amazing first version of symetra, It does feel so really saddening that you just get this game taking away. Just like hey we make number two now. We are just destroying number one. Bye. Bye. It is one of the most gummy move. I mean they didn't destroy Team Fortress one when Team Fortress 2 came out so I am just sitting here with the memories of the good times, but looking at that awful piece of s*** that name is overwatch 2.    … Expand

    Hacks, user trolling, and lazy moderation have ruined what could have been a great FPS.
    But Overwatch was a masterpiece that stood alone in a sea of FPS games.

    Rest in peace is my favorite game of the last 6 years until October 2022. Even though she was mocked by her creators, she was alive and beautiful...until she was finally killed and cynically replaced with a pathetic and greedy clone with the number 2.

And lets not forget, my grandma died of a stroke by just playing this game for a minute ore two, her blood is on Blizzards hands. If you dont shut this game down i will personally see that Blizzard and its employes never sees the light of day again.… Expand

    This game will be missed. Killed by Acti/blizz's greed. the last few years of development were wasted on a unnecessary sequel and cancelled PVE mode.

Creative) the game has no personality, no theme other than it being a very non offensive fps, the game balance is **** and the stun mechanics are super annoying and boring to play against, ultimates can't be countered and are unfun to play against (All you do is press 1 or 2 buttons to kill at least one person which is still more than enough to be a bad trade off as the negative emotion of the guy who died purely because the enemy had their meter filled up and pressed a button isn't fun to play against) it feels like gunplay is quite minimal and the game focuses too heavily on abilities as some character don't even require aim... At all, just press a button in a 70 degree circle and the enemy is beginning to die, the game feels like an ability waiting sum and characters have next to no mechanical depth, annoying '1 2' combos to instakill enemies, things like roadhog shotgun hit pretty much being able to kill every hero and even if they don't die they still are left with next to no health which pretty much implies death and those combos take low amount of skill to pull off, overall the game has low skill floors to characters yet the mechanics are confusing and the abilities are overwhelming to learn and a low skill ceiling meaning you probably get bored of each character soon enough and plus there's only so few characters in the meta… Expand

    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.

    It was a good shooter, not bad, not perfect, but good. It had a leveling system, etc. I can say a lot of good things about the game, but my review will be too long. The only problem I have is obviously the community. Overwatch 1 was a MUCH better game than Overwatch 2, unfortunately, it's not the same anymore. Rest in peace.

The gameplay, ults and abilities are Amazing and the characters too, its got a nice lore for the ones who care and look it up. The matchmaking and SR could be a bit better but overall deserved GOTY.

    This game is Team Fortress 2 but bad. TF2 is objectively better than this game. Not just because Overwatch is dead.

    Le jeu est très sympa. C'est juste dommage que Blizzard n'est pas réussi à l'équilibré quand les joueurs ont découvert que la catégorie de perso la plus joué et avec le plus de persos était nulle.

    Purchased the game in 2017 and it was good for a while but the endless buffs and bad new hero abilities totally ruined the game. Its simply amazing how Blizzard can turn a great game into total trash. This was also my LAST purchase from Blizz.

    The gameplay is fast paced, creative and diverse, the character design is phenomenal, most of the heroes look fantastic, the maps look gorgeous, so many hidden details everywhere, overall I can safely say that this is an amazing game.

    But what doesn't make it a perfect game is the horrible matchmaking, the lack of gamemodes and the atrocious balancing. It's a shame that the game got abandoned all of a sudden because fortunately its flaws can be fixed as times goes by.

    It's still a very enjoyable experience, and I'm glad I didn't miss out on it, one of my favorite Online Multiplayer games for sure.

    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.
