    My favourite game of all time. One of the most fun multiplayer online shooters there it. And based on the amount of copy cats i would say its a great succes. With the launch of Overwatch 2 on the Horizon things look bright for the future.

    From the beginning Blizzard has had no intention other than to milk the playerbase, and over the years this has manifested in many ways, from the completely automated punishment system where the only thing that's bannable is getting reported, awful, slow balancing and reworks that no one asked for and are universally hated but will never be undone, only a handful of skins every few monthsFrom the beginning Blizzard has had no intention other than to milk the playerbase, and over the years this has manifested in many ways, from the completely automated punishment system where the only thing that's bannable is getting reported, awful, slow balancing and reworks that no one asked for and are universally hated but will never be undone, only a handful of skins every few months from a company with billions in revenue (although they do release a couple at exhorbitant prices for their fanboys) and an esports league no one asked for that serves no purpose but for people who don't understand the jame to copy what they see on stream and be roxic when it doesn't work. It's good that people are starting to see this. There continues to be no reason to pick anything other than one-shots, which means they're constantly buffing everyone else like MJree leading to a situation where they're simultaneously broken and throw picks (against one-shots), further confusing the game's balance. They still haven't even fixed a major exploit that lets you queue for tank then pick Rog or ball, two S-tier DPSs who leave you with one less tank. There are many great reviews under "Most helpful" that touch on other important points, such as style over substance - the latest example of which is Sojourn, who is the most generic shooter character possible but with this trendy new crouch slide-jump just so you can make plays that look flashy on Twitch. And we haven't even got to the "sequel" which is more of the same but with one less hero because making tank fun again still eludes them. Overall, no potential here unless somehow a company that actually wants to make video james and not just money gets their hands on it. Expand

    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.

    Was a good game when it come out but Blizzard let the toxic players, bullying, and locked special event items get out of control. Everyone I used to play with stopped playing because of the bullying and toxicity. You picked a hero that you're good at but someone else didn't like you're the problem. Non stop verbal abuse the entire match and the next match.

That said, having played both Paladins and Overwath i can't really find any meaningful difference in the core gameplay. There's a switch in heroes' abilities but other than the fact that one is free and the other isn't i see no notable differences. The graphics in both games are good, although i play on lowest settings to negate any possible latency or lag. The maps look great, well made and intuitive in design. I like all the different modes available in Overwatch, as the core game can get a bit dull after a while. The heroes are all interesting in design. That said, i had a much easier time acquiring cosmetic gear in Paladins than i did in Overwatch, which in turn, begs to question, why does a paid game have to bait me with (mostly useless) loot to get me to play more? Micro-transactions are present in both games, but again, at least it makes sense in Paladins, as it is free. I cannot comment on the matchmaking, but i have noticed that Overwatch routinely pairs me with or against ludicrous level players. As for hackers, i've yet to meet one in either game, but what Blizzard does with PC Bangs in Korea is all kinds of shady and will eventually backfire. In summation, i think that Overwatch is good but not as good as the advertisers would have you believe. If you're thinking about getting it, if not for anything else than "Bragging Rights" at least try to get it cheap, like 20$ or less (preferably) because it's just a heavily advertised, boastful moba shooter that delivers on a basic level pretty well and not much else. Paladins does all of this, with different heroes, different modes and a different graphical style, for free. Which one is better for You is completely subjective. Expand

There's not that much in it anyways. The gunplay is ok, not great. most of the guns feel weak. A lot of the game is based off communication, which there usually isn't. There isn't a problem of hackers, but I've seen people completely pubstomp games with 50+ eliminations, usually as reaper, genji or bastion. Bastion isn't OP, it's that he's easy to play and the skill level required to beat him is a bit more substantial than the skill required to play him. Supports are well done, surprisingly. Most of them feel balanced, with a good skill ceiling availible for ambitous players. defense heroes are alright. Bit dull overall, with mei being an exception. I'm seeing way too many ultimates though, and unfortunately I see so many more offensive ones it's usually normal to see entire teams getting wiped out by 3 simultaneous ultimates. while mercy might only pop her ult once per round. Supports aren't building their ults fast enough. Tanks are surprisngly fun, with a lot of tactics involved other than running straight into enemy fire.
    Graphically i'm split. It looks great, with animation-like models and great environments. The optmization is also really good, running on lower end machines as well. My main problem is that a lot of the effects are too jarring. The screen can easily be filled with all sorts of visual effects, making it impossible to see what's happening.
    Mechanically it's good. The game modes are fair, with good amounts of opprunity on both sides for most games. I will say that payload maps need a rework. I'm seeing way too many bottlenecks where the game just freezes there until 3 or 4 ults are popped.Most maps are fine. None of them are very good though. It would pay to look at other games that have done maps well before. Please fix the jump animations. They make me feel terrible, like they have bobble heads or rigid spines.
    With friends? This game is amazing. The atmosphere the game creates is great. However I will say that the servers aren't great, so if some friends aren't in the same country, let alone region, I'd advise against playing with them.
    the music is ok. Honestly i thought Blizzard could do better but it's fine. it works and the tension is there near the end of the rounds. but it's bland compared to the overall theme of the game.
    Customization is great. Lots of taunts, voice clips, alternate costumes and sprays, although a good amount of the skins are just different colour schemes. The voice acting is superb, especially when the characters talk to each other during the preparation period.
    Almost no community made items though. no private servers or custom maps or private matches. A bit disappointed but really I've been spoilt by Valve letting me host whatever i want. L4D2, CSGO and TF2 al have a thriving community creating new stuff. Blizzard could release an Asset maker for us. That'd be fun.
    It's fun. There's competitive. There are few hackers. Graphically and stylistically it's great.
    But this score is how much i enjoyed it.
    And I think it's a great game. I might update my score after more content is released but right now not much is making me go "Hey I want to go back to Overwatch" and play more of it. It's hella fun, and when there's synergy, it works. But most of the time it's as if I've already played this before. i don't know whether the amount of content coming is worth staying on for, or Blizzard is just gonna take the SFV route and delay content but 30 quid isn't getting me much. I look forward to seeing what Blizzard does and whether it updates my score but a 7 is what I think it's worth.
    EDIT 2018
    The game has, as i had hoped, significant content patches with new maps n heroes. I can now say you can easily justify the price tag the game has. However, problems are still there, and I will talk about how it can still improve.
    my initial review in 2016 said that a lot of the mechanics were good. I feel that it has only improved,with blizzard slowly tuning it so that the online feel is much more cohesive. Each hero feels a bit more consistent, with viability and strategy matching the map and skills you're on. i also appreciate the continued optimization. It still runs beautifully and i think that it does stand head and shoulders with DOOM/Warframe as one of the best running games you can get. Blizzard also gets a thumbs up for allowing server browser, better custom modes, arcade modes. These are the things that every multiplayer shooter should have and I'm glad that these features are now available. Servers are better, though i still recommend only playing with friends in the same region.
    However, i still have a few problems. Toxic players are part of any online game, but dealing with people who queue together is a hassle and I leave games to avoid toxic groups. The graphics are still far too flashy, making it difficult to pinpoint targets.

    It was a great fun in the beginning. I can't give a bad review to the game that I invested over a 1000 hours in (600 hours as D.Va ;]). It's a multiplayer struggling with balance and trying to reinvent iteself over and over again over the years, but the only thing it really succeeded in was losing appeal for fans. But still I guess it's worth a 10 euro that it goes for now.

    Blizzard usually makes well made games, and this is no exception. However, for me the game feels very repetitive. The nice part of it that is not free, so you dont have to grind forever to get your characters, but they still make you pay for different boxes that contains items, that generally really don't have any impact, but it makes it feel like a free to play game

    At first, I feel privileged to be the first to make a thoughtful, honest review instead of "omg its tf2" and "omg cancer community!1!"

    Bliz has taken the title belt over every genre it's entered: MMO, FPS, RTS, ARPG,...ok HOTS was pretty bad, but point is they're no pushovers of game developing, and Overwatch truly is revolutionary. You can tell they played every video game they could to extract every good idea for gameplay possible and - frankly - crafted an FPS to such perfection that OW will be the standard of FPS for rest of time in terms of gameplay/character design, map design, voice work, music composition, commendably balanced heroes, beautiful graphics, even going PC (ie a lesbian hero, a bisexual hero, or buff chick and chunky chick for the feminists, or robots that are portrayed as an oppressed minority [I can see the others, but racism against robots? really?] ) just about everything in OW is polished to a shiny sheen. So, why the low score?

    It isn't evolving. It could be argued that Bliz made a game so perfect that it has nowhere to go, but there is still this looming void about the game as the years pass (even bliz said "here comes next comp season. see you there._. ). TF2 introduced new modes, new weapons which allowed alternate play styles, many, many new maps, and it's personality was one-of-a-kind with a charm that never went away. OW has given little new content save for an occasional map, or a new hero who's balancing is all over the place (sombra sucked @1st, ana was a god @1st, Fist either kills everything or dies instantly, and Moira is f**ing INSANE) or taking some casual mode and putting COMP in front if it i.e. comp FFA/soccer. The flow of content is slow and anti climactic.

    2nd reason is the game's lore is absolute garbage. The game has no driving narrative. Every hero's story is "everyone thought they died...BUT THEY CAME BACK WITH VIDEO GAEEM PWERRZZ!!"
    As is trendy nowadays, everyone has 0 development. None. It's like Bliz made a 20 part book series that all had 1 chapter. It's hard to view the heroes as...well heroes, bc they don't fight anything. Who is the enemy? Why do they exist? Why are they fighting? To kick a soda machine's a** in Japan?

    C'mon, we all know the real reason why this is. If you want a plot to be interesting, characters have to struggle, suffer, discuss morality, philosophy, justice vs vengeance, mercy or execution, 2nd chance or judgement, who is the hero and who is the villain, who are you rooting for/against? Not only would this take time and *cough* talent, but calling something "evil" might offend someone, so everyone's motivation is brushed into a cloud of uncertainty, pretty graphics, and shiny, purple booties. After all, WHO ARE YOU TO SAY WHATS RIGHT OR WRONG! CHECK UR PRIVILEGE BRO! UR JUST (shaming buzzword here).

    The balancing isn't perfect either. Junkrat, Phara, and Widow leave a warpath to the objectives bc they have little counterplay when used properly. Phara 2 shots her own counters & 90% of the OW cast can't even engage her bc her mobility and flight which render her unkillable, Rat can blindly spam to f*ing murder teams by himself, and accurate Widow's are 1man armies while no one plays Report Torb.

    Speaking of reports, Bliz still has their bs report system. Problem is, you can get reported for "abusive language" for playing Torb. I made a sarcastic, unoffensive comment in General Chat, and saw a 3 month silence. Should I even be shocked anymore? The first month I played OW, I didn't talk, and weekly i still got emails from Bliz telling me to tone down the abuse. Now I'm getting reported for not communicating, and paragraphs of "teamwork" and "this is why you're bronze" sermons.

    Which brings me to my final beef with OW: the community. No, they're not the worst ever. Honestly, I'd say this is the least toxic & coolest community I've seen in 20 years of online gaming, so what's so bad? Even here, you can see "cancerous community" popup in all of the neg reviews. What. a bunch. of babies. Try LoL. You kids don't know the meaning of "cancer", but bc the squeaky wheel was so loud, Bliz made their dumb*ss report system so they can PR about the number of punished accounts.

    I can't take it anymore. When it comes to gameplay, they are so. f*ing. stupid. Leave it to our favorite collective of idiots to make "GROUP, WALK TO SQUARE, PUSH Q" impossibly difficult. I don't mean losing, I mean being completely and utterly shut down. All you can do is kick back in your lawn chair and laugh at the calamity. The enemy is sooo good. Tanks absorbing damage, dps kicking ass, present healers, great ultimate usage, great focus, and no matter how much I bomb my elo, they always have a badass sniper that doesn't miss a headshot. You're team has 6 wandering DPS that only exist as Dabacabb montage fodder leaving you - as 1 player - defenseless.

    Who am i kidding. No one's reading this s** anymore.

    Brings about a very good impression all around, but for its price tag, the game just gets old quickly with its lack of content and repetitive gameplay. A polished characteristic of a game alone does not make you play the game consistently.

New content is locked behind seasonal events where loot box odds plummet so that you can't grind out most of the skins without almost being forced to pay to better your odds. From someone who has 400 hours in-game (most in competitive) and has been playing since actual day one, this game is a shell of what it claimed to be and is dying because Blizzard can't figure out how to balance a game between the wants of the casual and pro community. Not only that, but the playerbase is unbelievably toxic in and out of ranked. Throwers, leavers, general griefers in chat and BM all around. For a game that took 2016 by storm, it's fading into obscurity. A forced entry into e-sports (Overwatch League) only brings viewer counts, not player counts. Expand

    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.

    Let me get this out of the way first. I love Overwatch. The characters are colorful, the style is amazing, and the lore is deep and complex.

    The problem is that the characters, lores, and stylized cutscenes are not in the game.

    No, reviewing this game as a game leaves me feeling a bit offset. As a universe, Overwatch is amazing, simply mindblowing, and brings a bit of everything to the table, great characters, lores, fans, exc. As a game, well it's lackluster.

    The game itself is a simple first person shooter with two teams of six. That's it. Each hero plays differently and counters another and so on, blah blah blah, we've all heard that before. Point is, as a game, it's repetitive and lacks any sort of story element. It also deals with a full price tag, for which it feels empty. Furthermore, you don't just GET the things you buy. Yes, you get the full game, but getting all the pieces of the game include more than your share of fully duplicate loot boxes, and the pure annoyance that comes from them.

    This is not a solo game. You do not play this game for an engaging plot or interesting mechanics or deep lore and gameplay. No, you play this game with your friends. And that brings about the multiplayer issues with the game. Put simply, casual is full of trolls (but that's to be expected in any multiplayer game) and the brawls (special gamemodes that rotate in and out) feel unbalanced and underwhelming. So the only real way to play the game is competitively, and that is a mess. In the next season, they say they'll clear things up, but from the beta testers, Season 2 doesn't look any better than the first. The ranking system is messed up, skewed HARD in favor of those with dps skills and beefy computers. Healers get nothing, even though they are integral to winning a game. Ranked is bad. Very bad. Casual is only slightly better.

    Long story short, Overwatch would be a 0 if not for the extra, out-of-game universe. If not for the cinematics and comics that keep me interested in the characters, I would not play the game. As it is, I only bought it to play with my friends... and I wouldn't keep playing if I had the choice. But after the hefty cost of entry, 40-60 bucks, I can't just put the game down. They promised me stuff, so I'll get stuff. I'll just enjoy the extra universe more.

    A technically perfect title, with astonishing graphics, optimized performances and nice menu navigation.
    It has very well designed character, mixing togheder skills taken from TF2 and balancing them between characters.

    That said, even if it's an incredibly well developed and maintained title, it has something that goes wrong when talking about the fun that it gives.
    Matchmaking is slow (sometimes it reachs 5-6 minutes to find a match in Europe, than after the match you have to wait again), unconsistent and the number of concurrent players is far from being the "40 million" they advertise so much.

    The hero skill based gameplay, even if it's almost balanced after lots of update, it's far from being a competitive style of game, on wich they push so much: it's a slot machine team game, where the only thing that matter is not shooting but using nicely your skill and, most of all, the ultimate, the unpredictable gamechanging factor that ruins everything. I know it's a cool idea, but it's not meant to be done for competitive and fair kind of games.
    The most frustrating thing is that a match is mostly based on shield heroes and support ones. Some of those last ones are, also, a lot overpowered and nothing has been made to balance them. Even if a support should be used aggressively, you should not design a character that does area heal, has a shield, has stun and does a lot of melee damage.
    It also seems like the game want to please everyone, giving medals and highlight randomly, also to very bad players during the match without reason.

    The community is sometimes toxic, sometimes weeaboo, sometimes Brizard's fans. I'm not saying it's always that way, but during my hours of gameplay I've got some encounters like that.
    The undoubted overrating behaviour arround this title seems in part caused from this very last part of the community.
    Also it's true what they say: if you are solo or you are in a team but with very incompetent friends, don't think the matchmaking is gonna give you match based on your overall skill level.

    I won't talk (and considering in the score that I've given) about the lore that is pretty cheap both in narration and articulation, since it has nothing to do with the gameplay.

    Lastly, the incredible lack of maps and modes. Heroes are enough, skins and collectibles also, but stuff that regards gameplay is in miserable quantity for a paid online-only title.

    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.

    This game delivers a lot of fun when you are playing with coordinated group. The characters are fun and all have something only they can do. My complaint is that the meta is unbalanced a lot of the time and some characters counter entire class. Not to mention, most of the time when you are playing alone your teammates are not even on voicechat.

    Overall I would say this game is okay, but

That's not to say the community helps its case, and while being one of the funnest games out there right now, the community is swarmed with toxic players, boosting in higher ranks, and griefing: where a player places a lower ranked than what they are placed/skilled yet. i.e. A Master player playing games in Silver.

    While I do have an extremely fun time playing the game as a whole, the community ruins this game from becoming the perfect game it could be. The Overwatch League, a weekly program from Wednesday to Saturday pits twelve teams against each other, and has definitely re sparked the interest of those who love Overwatch.

    When it comes down to it, while Overwatch is fun mechanically, the community will leave a sour taste in your mouth, wondering if you're willing to stick through it to simply enjoy the game.

    The game is much more enjoyable if you play with people you know! This is what the game was designed for. Playing with strangers can be fun.. but it can at times also be horrible. Absolutely horrible

    The matchmaking system is the worst in any competitive game I have played, and those are quite a lot since I've been gaming for over 25 years. There are many conspiracy theories (50% win rate algorithms, intermittent reinforcement and so on). Never before have I rolled so many people, and been rolled so many times. Also a lot of smurfs in the game, some of them my friends (who have played since release and have many accounts, but are actually grandmaster/masters/high diamond). This sucks for people who face them.

    All in all, a good game, that has issues, and a really missed opportunity from Blizzard. The playerbase has dropped significantly from a few years ago, and many feel the game is neglected by Blizzard, who are putting their efforts into overwatch 2.

    Could have been a 10/10, in it's current state it's a 7-8/10. Hoping some Microsoft direction and money can fix it, and that Overwatch 2 is a success xD

Creo los mayores problemas del juego surgen gracias a la toxica comunidad que se ha formado al rededor de este, la que realmente afecta mucho la experiencia del multi-jugador, esto incluye a la gente toxica y a los molestos hackers. A pesar de esto se pueden encontrar partidas buenas, y gracias a la variedad de servidores puedes evitar esas molestas experiencias, aunque aún así creo debe haber más control y mas comunicación con los usuarios de parte de Blizzard.

Now you can see that as a good thing, which it is, unless you are overdoing like blizzard has done in the last year or so with all the unnecessary buffs, debuffs, reworks, they have done to almost all their characters outside of releasing new characters just because people where complaining how often they were loosing.

    The community gets to the point where the only word I can think of is /disgusting/. Matches are lost as soon as you queue in because of trolls. Constant sexual harassment over voice chat from /adults/. And this is where customer service comes in. I've been banned twice. The first time, sure, I went off on someone who had been directing ugly comments at me. I'll take being silenced for a week. But please explain how I got banned again, 2 weeks after? For no reason?
    Bonus: They won't even tell you why you were banned. Thanks, Blizzard. Wouldn't recommend.
    Giving a 5 only because the lore is great and I truly enjoy the game when it's not toxic.

    The problem that has been bringing overwatch since its inception has been the balancing of heroes and the goal in the competitive scene, because in the 3 years of life that has had the game we have been able to presence 4 different solid goals (there have been many more goals, but those that have been important and have defined the game have been 4), without more than adding overwatch currently seems to me a game of a tight 8 and could be a 7 perfectly.

    Overwatch is an Online Hero Shooter.

    The standard gameplay consists of two 6-player teams playing an objective, like holding a control point or pushing a payload. It is set in a first person shooter setting.

    The main excitement about Overwatch is the huge gallery of heroes. In contrast to traditional shooters, the main emphasis in Overwatch in addition to the gunplay are the special abilities of the characters. No one hero plays out the same as another one and trying out different heroes and their respective playstyle is fundamentally fun, there is no doubt about that.

    However, like most online matchmaking games with emphasis on diverse abilities, Overwatch particularly suffers balancing issues resulting in stale meta games and frequent occurences of games where one team gets "steam rolled".

    At worst, those games can be extremely frustrating and make you quit the game for a while, but you'll eventually come back for it, because when it comes down for it, it is a good game. The games, that are balanced and where you can say "gg, close" at the end even if you lost the match bring a certain type of satisfaction, which will make you come back to this game, even if you run the risk to get a game where your team gets absolutely steam rolled.

    With how the dev team handles the game, I am convinced they care about their game, making frequent updates to the game to (sometimes desperately) ensure a balanced experience, which in my opninion probably will never happen because there are simply too many heroes with too diverse and powerful abilities and they keep pumping out new heroes all the time.

    In short: A fun hero shooter with some balancing issues which is fun to play once in a while.

    PS: I disagree with Metacritic saying a 7/10 is "Mixed", I still think this game is positive, but if I could give it a rating out of 5 stars, I wouldn't give it 4.

    The game is fun and a lot of effort has been put into it, the main problem is the balance changes. You had the double shield in the meta for ages, you got brig who is so broken I have seen people one-trick her to gm with a 93 winrate. Gold players were able to make it to gm on her. Lots of things have been fixed, but the dev team really cares about the causal players, not the competitive ones.

    Matchmaking for this game is utterly shocking, despite the need to level to 20 before being able to take part in ranked play it's still possible to come up against a "smurf" account and while these are common in modern gaming other triple-A titles manage to filter these into the appropriate bracket prior to ranked play. In addition, you'll encounter poorly matched teams with skill levels that drastically differ from one players skill to another and in a game that's won and lost on a knife-edge it tends to lead to visible frustration and toxic behavior.

    For a game that lives and dies on its replayability and endless grinding this is certainly one to miss and with it's sequal looking to be little more than a map pack at full price, now isn't the time to invest.

(On SEA servers) players are rarely toxic in this mode, and when they are the other players are quick to joke about them, overall a chill atmosphere. 10/10

    Competitive Gameplay: Due to role-queue, the queue times are inconsistent, with tanks and supports waiting 2-4 minutes for a match, and DPS waiting anywhere from 7 to 15 minutes for a match, depending on rank. Balancing is usually bad, but at the current time of this review, I think all heroes are viable. The actual gamemode of Competitive itself is functional, with a SR system which does a good job at showing a player's skill, but isn't very deep. I think every match does feel winnable, and matches in Overwatch tend to be more balanced (player-wise) than matches in other competitive games I have played. The devs have also been making changes which makes the future of competitive more hopeful.
    6/10

    Story: Overwatch has a promising story with many characters that many people want to learn more about. The bad part however, is that the game has been out for 4 years and the story hasn't developed far. It seems that most story that we are given is just backstory for new characters. Many characters have not been fleshed out, and in some cases characters have been downgraded. Ex: In the early days of the game, it was hinted that Mercy caused Reaper's condition because he was a botched experiment of hers, this would have made Mercy much more interesting, but it was retconned when Moira was released, and the animated short that showed her backstory shows that Reaper was a result of her evil experimenting. Another problem with the story is that it is too basic. the members of Overwatch are all saints with no bad qualities, and almost all the members of Talon (the evil organisation) are evil with no redeeming values, the only exception to this is Doomfist, who is evil but has an interesting motivation behind his actions. adding on to the basic story, it feels too 'clean and happy', as the good guys win every situation they're in, and nothing ever has weight.
    3/10

    Community: From what I've seen online, the community seems welcoming, and does occasionally make some good art based on the game (both drawings and videos). However many forums for the game are filled with the same boring highlights of gameplay, and stupid ideas for designing the game.
    The n0rp is stellar tho.
    7/10

    Small Features: Events were a nice addition to the game, but every year they just repeat with little to no changes. Challenges were a good idea, but every single "challenge" is just win 9 games to get a skin.
    Skins in the game are very well designed, and interesting. the only problem is that there are much more "legendary" skins than "common" skins which makes them have less value imo. Emotes and other cosmetics are also neat, and when they have a "legendary" status it feels deserved. The U.I is functional and is unique, so that's pretty neat.
    6/10

    Esports: The game has an Esports scene that will last a long time, but it does have some problems with stability. Many players and teams have left, but new ones always take their place. It will never die, but its identity is uncertain. The game does have nice integrations with the esports scene tho, with lots of skins to rep the teams, and a replay mode for re-watching matches. The Esports scene often sticks with one meta for a few months at a time, so it can get boring at times, but every meta can still be interesting if the players pop-off.
    5/10

    Overall, with a great casual scene, a competitive scene that has promise, but the drawback of a basic story, the game deserves an 8/10.

Every singleOverwatch is a bit confusing and complicated for new players, which is exactly what I was when I started playing the game (duh). There are too many controls for a simple shooter game, the tutorial doesn't teach anything properly and the games we play while waiting for an online game ends abruptly without giving any indication that there was a time limit the whole time. Every single character has a different move set, which is great, except, there are too many characters. Mastering all the characters is hard, especially considering you can pick only those characters that have not already been taken.

    The biggest problem probably comes from its provider. Battle.net is a trashy platform that makes the PC run very slowly. This in turn makes the game constantly drop the frame rate and there are no settings to stop it from happening (it happens even in the lowest graphic settings). And this in turn makes aiming super difficult. By the time I reach my crosshair at the enemy, they have already taken me down.

    The lore given to the game is also very nice. Every character has a short based on them. It's nice to see how much depth they have given every character. Just seeing the characters itself makes it look interesting - a girl with a robot, a gorilla, a hamster, an Indian demigoddess etc. You know you're in for a good time when you have characters like these.

    So overall I'd say this is an excellent game ruined by its bad server.

    0/10. Blizzard created a minimal game, while doing many bad things such as banning people for supporting human rights, falsely advertizing warcraft 3 reforged as having new cinematics, ignoring fans when it comes to diablo not being played only on phone and many many other terrible things which is insulting againts their fanbase. So yes, even if you ignore that the game was created by Blizzzard, it is still zero out of ten due to the nature of casino as the only progress you can have in the game. And you are way better off buying games from other companies that respect you, since most games nowdays are made as first person shooter, you have many options to choose from, and many better companies to go with.
