    And well, I had fun. A large variety of characters to choose from, flaming with personality and uniqueness, each with their own story to which you can be exposed in a variety of ways. There are many maps that are justified plot-wise and they come with a vast collection of different modes, with ones exclusive to certain festivities. And of course, a lot of customisation options, but you can get your favourite skins without breaking a sweat just by playing the game, so that is a big plus.

    The main issue with this game is balance. It's not even the main issue, it's THE issue. I'm aware of how this game looked like when it released, and it is puzzling why they introduced the gameplay changes they did. As of now, there are two ways to enjoy quick-play/competitive modes: a queue with role regulations, and a queue where you can play whoever you want. I like the idea of making this game a little bit less chaotic with defining three main roles, but it is not fun that you have to wait roughly 8 minutes every time you want to play the DPS role, considering that this role has more than half of the game's characters in it. And the non-restrictive queue does not help with that either, since even if you try to play your favourite character, if it is out of meta, you will get stomped pretty quickly by those abiding it. And we are talking about the main modes, which means this is mainly how the game is supposed to be played, so it really does lower the score for me. But all these are flaws that can be fixed and it seems that Blizzard is slowly starting to realise its mistakes, though for the results we will probably have to wait for some time.

    If you haven't played this game yet, I recommend taking a few of your friends with you to try it out, since it still is a lot of fun and the price right now isn't too high. But for now, I recommend you stick to those non-competitive quirky modes, where people generally try to enjoy the game.    … Expand

    And currently are they working on a "sequel" that will automatically replace the current one, which shows their bias even stronger. Utility characters are stripped of their utility and massively nerfed despite then already underperforming, and strong damage dealers who has been meta since day 1 are even made more stronger with more buffs. It's absolutely mind boggling.    … Expand

    Overwatch is one of the games that just didn't interest me at all, but not at all.

However, I just don't like the game graphically. This is purely a subjective thing. I'm not some fan of realistic graphics, and I love the Borderlands style for example, but Overwatch just didn't do it for me at all. The whole game ultimately feels to me like some sort of F2P title, not to mention the fact that it's not and you have to pay for the game. On top of all this, expect to see more of the developers trying to scrounge money out of you in the form of various skins. The matches are fine, but nothing that makes me want to shell out the dough. As I said the game isn't bad, but I don't like Overwatch and therefore don't want to recommend something I don't like myself. For me, this is nothing more than an above average game that in my opinion deserves to be free-to-play.… Expand

    This game looks great and it feels great to play. The playstyle for each hero is unique and fun. However, what brings this game crashing down hard are the terrible, horrendous, garbage balancing issues and balancing decisions. I've played this game since release and I've seen so much of this crap that I'm honestly never going to touch it unless it's during an event.

    Speaking of events,    This game looks great and it feels great to play. The playstyle for each hero is unique and fun. However, what brings this game crashing down hard are the terrible, horrendous, garbage balancing issues and balancing decisions. I've played this game since release and I've seen so much of this crap that I'm honestly never going to touch it unless it's during an event.

    Speaking of events, OWs' event gamemodes are braindead and boring and I've never played an event so boring before in my life. The only reason I will play this game during events is because of the hero skins. The art department for OverWatch does SO GOOD on their character designs and hero skins however it's wasted by the balancing issues this game has and the fact that the devs can never decide how they want their game. The overwatch devs will NEVER go out of their way to fix an issue as soon as possible. They always wait for the monthly balance patches, sometimes they wait longer to address a huge and glaring issue and who suffers from that? The players.

    There's multiple reasons so many people no longer enjoy this game, there's multiple reasons why so many well known community members and pro players have left the game. Don't believe the whole "Overwatch has 40 (or 50 or whatever the number is now) million players!" No, Overwatch probably has 40 or 50 million accounts. Which is a big difference seeing as so many people have more than 1 account. Which brings me to the next problem.

    Smurfs.

    So many smurfs. People wanting to feel validated so they make a new account and trash lower skill players. Not to mention every patch (maybe not every patch but it feels like it to me) they nerf a hero into oblivion and buff a hero into OP status to take the nerfed heroes spot. It's crazy and this game is not fun. This game is the only game I've EVER been mad while playing. This game had so much potential but sadly the balancing team makes nothing but bad decisions (mostly, the Brig nerf was SO necessary but then again she shouldn't have been that strong anyways). The only thing I can recommend for what Blizzard is giving us is this: Save your money for something else.

    TL:DR Smurfs, reworks, design decisions and so many freaking balancing issues makes this game a nightmare to play. Save your money.    … Expand

    Is the best predecessor of TF2. Fun gameplay and the animations are fantastic. Blizzard made an amazing FPS, but they had a lot of problems with balancing heroes and matchmaking on the competitive was sometimes awful. The playerbase was toxic af but when you find a team who wants to win was a great expirience. Jeff Kaplan and the overwatch team did a great job :)

Other than that, my experience wasn't even that good. Terrible teammates, 2cp, getting Hanzo sniped across the map, the whole shebang. Blizzard clearly can't balance the game, as it's either making a hero op like ball or nerfing a hero to the ground like Orissa. I would only buy this game if it's on sale for 20$ or less. Even that's a bit much. If I didn't get banned, maybe the game would be a 4, but it's still not worth it.… Expand

The TL:DR is - I would be lying if I said the game hasn't given me good memories but frankly I can count the times I closed the game in a good mood on my fingers. The simple truth to why the game leaves a sour taste in many people's mouths, as well as mine, is that it's just not really an FPS. The marketing and surface-level gameplay make it out to be just that, but I would argue the game possesses much more MOBA elements rather than FPS ones. Sure, you shoot guns and the game is first-person but the focus is more on team fights, and getting something done by yourself is a rare occurrence, much rarer if you stick with the game and actually climb the ladder. Frankly, no other game is similar to Overwatch in that aspect and a large portion of the community, as well as the balancing team really, can't handle such an innovative concept, which results in the infamous toxic players. You'd think there would be some compensation in terms of varying game modes but there is just one - a competitive mode. Even that mode is barely playable due to the constant smurfing as blizzard has put 0 effort in trying to put a stop to it, with many signed players openly smurfing on streams. "Ah, but what if I play with 5 of my mates", you would be matched against another 6 stack with at least 1 being a booster/smurf. "At least the lore is good and the characters are interesting" you might have heard but the lore consists of 5 animated shorts and 10 comic books. Even so, all of them are build-up with none actually attempting to progress the story in any way. If you are reading this and still wondering whether you should buy this game - just don't bother, play any other shooter or MOBA as this doesn't excel at anything.… Expand

    -solo and group queues are still combined (and it won't ever change because there just aren't enough players left to support this much-needed split any more), how bad that is can only be fully understood by those who experienced it
    -it's still just a shield-shooting simulator
    -looking at the patch notes, it seems that development has completely stopped, pretty much the only new stuff in the game compared to two years ago are new hero skins (whose sole purpose is to drive lootbox sales), one poorly designed hero, and some seemingly random balance changes that didn't do squat; the game literally plays the exact same as it did when I quit, i.e. it's just plain awful

    An interesting multiplayer game. A little bit difficult for a beginner like me but still a lot of fun to play

    gets repetitive and annoying after a while. seems to be a game with a steadily downhill future. tank and support simply arent fun roles to play for most people, as dps are much more capable of getting kills, yet the game is balanced around only have 2/6 players in that role.

    OverWatch has a great variety of heroes to play. 32 characters over all that are split into 3 groups. Tank, support and damage. This system was forced some time ago into a 2/2/2 system. 2 tanks, 2 healers and 2 damage. Before it was that you could pick any. This system was even pushed onto casual modes.

Tank, support and damage. This system was forced some time ago into a 2/2/2 system. 2 tanks, 2 healers and 2 damage. Before it was that you could pick any. This system was even pushed onto casual modes. This leads to high queue times as a damage while tanks and supports got a near instant queue. Blizzard has repeated the same mistake they have done in World of Warcraft. The reason for this system was because they could not balance around a specific strategy called "goats".

    Out of these 32 characters, only a couple of them are viable if you want to win. Especially in ranked. Blizzard managed to bring imbalance into such as small number of available heroes to play. The damage role has 17 heroes to play. Out of these 17 only a handful are viable to play. 7 tanks, 3 are viable at best, 2 at worst. 6 support characters, 3 are viable if you play a high rank, 2 are viable if you don't. The hero balance is awful. If you don't have 2 viable heroes but the other team got them? That's a lost game. Only 32 characters and they managed to have an insane imbalance. Tanks are not very much played because the ones that are viable are simply not fun if you have to play them every single game to win.

    There hasn't been any new content for the last 2 or so years as Blizzard works on OverWatch 2. There hasn't been any news about it or anything really. But Blizzard abandoned OverWatch as a game. Seemingly OverWatch 2 is OverWatch but with an added PvE mode. Nobody knows what the developers are doing at this point.

    The maps are ok. I am just wondering how nobody ever at the development team stopped for a moment on Horizon Lunar Colony and Paris and went "Maybe this is design wise not a good choice". These two maps are the worst and many people skip them. They were removed from competitive games because they are that terrible. The latest added map was a deathmatch map for reasons beyond mortal understanding. Nobody plays deathmatch.

    The report system is automated and stack based. Not reviewed by any customer service, so pretty worthless. The message that pops up when you report someone that you report them to "the Blizzard customer service" is a straight up lie.

    Loot boxes are terrible and should be banned. Not exception from this game for it.

    The recent experimental build was great because it came from actual players of the game. This company has people employed for the balance and lore. We have not gotten any significant lore (people ask for an extension of Sigmas lore since ages) since forever and lore additions itself are very rare. The writers are paid to do nothing, same for the balance guys. What a dream job these lazy developers must have.

    There was some weird update where they removed all regions, which led to insanely high pings because you were put into servers far away. Since this update my average ping is around 10 higher. Occasionally I am still getting thrown onto NA servers while being in Europe. The matchmaking system has been awful since then too.

    The game itself is great if you jump into it for a few rounds as a casual but if you expect anything more then you will be in for a disappointment. This game is good to play a couple of rounds and then stop, otherwise you will notice the heavy flaws very fast. Blizzard completely lost the hype of the game. If you want a better experience play Paladins.

    I give it a 5 because it's fun if you don't think about it too much, casuals can still enjoy it and it atleast gets new skins for events. But a lot of points are removed because Blizzard gave up on this game. It seems like they gave up on ALL their games. A shame really because the game could be much more.    … Expand

    It's very polished and well made game i had alot of fun playing it, Has alot of characters with thier own unique abilities and a fun maps to play, and the reason i put a score of 9 instead of 10 would be for the latest updates with the meta of the play, It becomes not fun to play a certain characters that mandatory for the meta to win (specially in the double-shield meta).

    The new name McCree is a joke and there shouldn't be such a change, no one knows where that name started, everyone has a **** on this man. Everyone associates Mc Cree with Overwatch, what Blizzard has been doing lately is crap, born from a company that made the best games in the world, and the Blizzard brand was associated with high quality, now it's a real joke.

    But the game is ruined completely by it's completely rigged and bad matchmaking system. The matchmaking system forces you to lose, if you are doing too good. This is not only a theory - this happens everytime. If you got on a winstreak and play really good, let's say you get 9 wins and 1 loss the last 10 games - the matchmaking system will put you all of sudden with team-mates who are WAY below your level and your opposing teams level to make you lose.
    This happens every single time. All of a sudden you get a Reinhardt who don't know how to position, and charges in before the team can group and dies. I'm usually around 2800-3100 range.

    The counter argument i've seen is "but duh, the proos.. the 0.00001% can climb, so it's not the system dude. Right.. that is correct the 0.0000.1 % of the best players can climb no matter what, cause even in a bad matchup they are so incredibly good it doesn't matter. They are worth those other 4 people who are much worse. But for a normal human - like me and many others - this system is making you lose on purpose and there is almost nothing you can do and that is superfrustrating.

    I'm not sure why they do this, if it's to keep you in the game longer to buy boxes or whatever. But I recon it has some intent like that. It's really sad seing them having this anti-player system purposely.

    The second bad thing is they allow duos and teams in Solo-queue, this is also ruining the game for people like me who mostly play solo. The better DUO always wins (because they have much better cordination) and if they don't they are usually toxic. So they force you to play with a hopeless game or toxic people.

    The third bad thing with the game is that they never release anything new anymore. They are making an "Overwatch 2" which never comes out... im not sure what they're thinking - but I again knowing "Blizzard" (which is really just a bunch of new employees calling themselves Blizzard, all the real devs have left pretty much), it's probably because of some greedy reason. They are probably figuring out a way to monetize the game even more.

    Otherwise - awsome game. For the gameplay alone, the graphics, optimization etc, style. Everything like that is great. Sad it's ruined by this fact.    … Expand

    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.
