In every patch, you can see the same 6 heroes getting picked in every ranked game because they are just broken and others are just bad. Blizzard also like to remove mechanics in the game that people love to use/enjoy. Ranked play is horrible in this game as there is no true solo/duo queue. It is an okay game for casual play with friends but not anything competitive.

    Unless Blizzard fix the problems, this game is not recommended for anyone.    … Expand

The only people who enjoy this game are 6 man pre-planned teams. Otherwise you are left frustrated as you lose hundreds of skill rating points per night and are forced to play with only people who no longer care about their rating and are willing to quit or not contribute.

    What isn't wrong with this game. Matchmaking is just rigged to do the same bs over and over. It goes by clusters of easy games followed by clusters of awful games.

    The main thing you need to know about Overwatch is that it's not a game, it's a coin toss. 50% enforced winrate is applied at all levels of play across all game modes.

You'll win a few matches straight, then lose a few matches straight, with every game being a steamroll.

    To top things off, at this point there's at least one obvious aimbot in almost every game these days. You get to see their kill cam and it's the telltale twitchy, inhuman locked-on mouse movements, tracking through walls, etc., but reporting does nothing. Blizzard just does not care at this point. If anything, the hackers have probably been incorporated into the 50% winrate algorithm.    … Expand

    Overwatch isn't a horrible game, it just isn't a game for me and I made a mistake to believe that.

    I pre-ordered it, even, only based on the demo week we got to play it for free before release.

Because it is not that similar to TF2 at all, and I'll    Overwatch isn't a horrible game, it just isn't a game for me and I made a mistake to believe that.

    I pre-ordered it, even, only based on the demo week we got to play it for free before release. Based on the hype and similarities to Team Fortress 2, I was expecting the game to be very similar to TF2 - more similar than it really is. Because it is not that similar to TF2 at all, and I'll likely never enjoy it as much and play it for as long as TF2.

    First off, gameplay - while at first it seemed very similar (hence I pre-ordered it), after several hours it became very evident that OW is lacking the depth and skill ceiling that have kept me hooked in TF2. 20% of gameplay time there I just practice movement and explosive jumps with the help of specifically community-crafted maps, mods, and community-hosted servers. Overwatch, on the other hand, just feels easy. There's nothing you can really practice for extended periods of time; in the end, when shooting is easy, movement is easy and gameplay is simple, all that's left to improve is gamesense and teamwork. And while that's definitely worth doing and certainly decides over victory or failure, I just prefer a game that also has that, on top of very challenging aim and movement mechanics giving it that much more depth - TF2.

    The other issue is how restrictive Blizzard is. No mods, no custom maps, you can't even host your own server or play OW offline. That sucks. And I mean, that really sucks. Half the fun in TF2 when I started out was to hop from insane community server to another one to see what crazy mods the community has thought of; WarioWare (with working minigames), Starfox (with working planes), Mario Kart (with working Karts), just to name a few that everyone can imagine what's going on. But there is way more, and the community was given limitless freedom to make whatever the heck they want. So we have a 30 vs 1 players boss battle mod, Dodgeball, Rocket Jump maps, Deathrun, Slenderman, and way, way more - not to mention regular but unofficial game modes such as capture the flag with only one flag.

    There was even one time where I joined a community server that just seemed like a "trade" server (lobby-type servers designed to investigate other people's loadouts, because TF2 has a ton of cosmetic items of which you can select three on your character, plus weapon skins), but it was kind of a disguise. By accident you could discover a hidden trap door, which led to other places, all of which required an entire team of characters working together to go from place to place, and it was an extremely long way almost at the map size limit filled with puzzles and explosive jump challenges. The most important part of the team was an Engineer building teleporters because not every required character is able to traverse the same ground as others. The final rooms required you to fight through a dungeon of AI controlled, respawning skeletons while blasting away at a massive door, which could finally be opened with the help of a Demoman shooting Grenades (like Junkrat) through a vent, opening a portal that led to - a Pony village from the current "Friendship is Magic" show. That was the final station. It was hilarious, and one heck of an experience.

    In short, TF2 is crazy diverse, and you can spend a month - if not months - not playing the same map, game mode, or even strategy twice.

    One might be thinking, "why would I want to do all this? I just want to play the game, I don't need mods." and I agree. Overwatch is not a bad game, it is in fact quite an enjoyable one. Mods shouldn't be a requirement, and I know that not everyone cares about them. It's just that I, personally, am really disappointed with how Blizzard handled things.

    If you take a glance at StarCraft and WarCraft - the games that were so mod-friendly that DOTA exists purely because of those, along with the obvious inspiration for OW being TF2 - yet, Overwatch is completely locked behind Blizzard's servers. It's a shame, really.

    I'm still playing TF2 after seven years, and it's almost like I was playing a very different game back then than I do now simply because I had different preferences for game modes.

    Overwatch got boring after two months. It feels like "been there, done that". I could potentially just keep playing competitively to improve my game, but I already do that in TF2. And that's just the much richer game for me.

    Finally, I'm probably rating OW lower than it deserves (kinda). Its gameplay is decent, if it was only that, I'd give it a 7/10. But I actually HATE always-online games. I hate that there is zero possibility for mods and community stuff. OW is a poor example for a video game, because games can be much more that. Sorry.

    Another issue with OW is that it wasn't programmed very well. There's always noticeable input lag unless I play on extremely low settings due to a "feature" called "1 frame interpolation" or whatever. This means 300 fps or bust.    … Expand

    Frankly, I am not really sure what separates a good player from a poor one in this game. It seems that hitting enemies and dealing massive damage is fairly direct and easy to do. There doesn't seem much in the way tactical opportunity given the map designs. Not a whole lot you can really do apart from mob with your teammates down a fairly narrow path and confront the enemy mob head on.

    I think the only aspects of this game which have merit are the art and code. The game is very attractive and delivers solid performance on old hardware. That said, gameplay-wise this game is a mess. I can only surmise that Blizzard bought the high reviews for this game. I honestly don't see how anyone could consider this game to be exceptional.

If you're not good at the game or cannot carry, you're gonna have a very bad time in Quick Play. In Competitive Play, everyone is toxic. People don't communicate properly. People throw because you play a hero which they think is not good. It's incredibly difficult to have fun with this game, because noone WANTS to have fun. And Blizzard can fix this.

    Pros:

    - If you wanted to play TF2 in the modern era, this game would be its successor.
    - Astonishing graphics with minimum requirements from your hardware
    - Unique character personalities that we can all identify with
    - Music and sound effects are top notch
    - Different ways to play the game, at least that's what they want us to believe

    Cons:

    -Balance is really out of control and it gets worse from patch to patch. Blizzard is unable to find a middle ground between overnerfing or overbuffing a hero, thus creating frustrations for months to come.
    - Lack of transparency between Blizzard and its community. No patch notes for most of their updates.
    They act like they care, but instead they do the opposite of what the community wants.

    Example : D.va had gone through so many changes, back and forth, that her role isn't even clear at this point.

    - Releases are really really rare. So far it's like 3 heroes per year, which compared to other games is not something to brag about. Events are not that often, you can count them with just one hand.

    - Balance changes and bug fixes take forever to happen.
    Example 1: Torbjorn's hammer was bugged, thus making him build and repairing turrets 25% slower, making him a pain to have on your team. Blizzard was aware of the bug, yet they fixed it after 3 months, 3 months in which Torbjorn was unplayable.

    Example 2: Widowmaker had been nerfed since launch for her quick scope and easy kills. It took Blizzard more than a year to even start repairing her issues.

    - Unless you have a group, it's extremely frustrating to play this game alone. The game focuses on 2 game modes:

    1. Quickplay is oriented towards the casual scene where people can train and get the hang of new heroes. Problem is nobody is playing this mode as a team. Everyone chooses whatever they want to play with no regard to what the rest of the team needs to even have a chance of winning the game. Team cooperation is close to impossible, unless you've got a group which can easily cause you to regret playing the game. The matches are utterly either a stomp fest on you where the opposite team doesn't even let you touch the objective, or you're stomping the enemy team, thus making it unchallenging and boring for you. I've yet to see Quickplay matches actually fought on equal terms, it's always one team is superior to the other in most cases. It's the mostly the game's MMR that does a bad job at matching equally skilled players, whereas favoring how much a game is found for you, rather than the quality of it.

    2. Competitive is meant to entertain the hardcore crowd, so you'd expect cooperation to be better than Quickplay. Well, yes and no. Most people do want to cooperate to win, but they literally force you to play whatever they want to make sure of it. Popular opinion is extremely influenced by the meta. If you're playing something out of the meta, they start being toxic towards you, before even getting a chance to show what you can do. This is literally the most toxic game that I've ever seen.

    - Game is getting more and more casual with each patch. Player skill is starting to count less and less, while the accessibility of easy kills with hero abilities is rising with each patch.

    Conclusion:

    As it stands right now, do not buy this game.    … Expand

    Overwatch is a take on the FPS genre create by Blizzard. It is meant to give a fast, exciting, and teamwork orientated environment. However, this review is on my experiences with the game, tossed in with very personal opinions. This 'rant' (you can say) is for a smaller and fresh audience to the fps genre (Like I am).

    This game has a learning curve that is not present with other non-fps games (Well, obviously, let me touch on it a bit more). If you are new on the fps genre, you are probably aren't aware of the most basic (And in my case, hard to learn) fundamentals of fps games. Checking your flanks, having steady aim, strafing, all while the game is so fast-paced, that you forget about it (or have difficulty, I was on a controller, I rather prefer keyboard). This can lead to other fps veterans to kill you on the spot with your predictable movements. Things like this can affect your mind, while getting frustrated on why it isn't working out.

    Another aspect I want to dig into is the mental strength you require. If you are starting this game as your first fps, you have a massive cliff to climb. While you struggle with the basics, you are, to say it bluntly, a very likely burden for your team. This leads to losing, which happens a lot when starting, possibly flattening your confidence. This can lead to negative emotions.

    Lastly, frustratingly playing the game with no visible enjoyment. Play this as your first FPS game can be like dealing with an annoying associate of yours. You can do so much, then before you know it, it can lead to a severely toxic atmosphere. This was me dealing with it myself (along with others playing the game).

    Overall, Overwatch is a game that was born from an idea from Blizzard. It can be a hard and frustrating experience. Don't get this wrong, at times it is a rather fun game; it is just very difficult to squeeze out its enjoy-ability in the over-competitive, skill-lacking mindset of people like me. I hope you get some great insight out of what I have wrote.    … Expand

The only thing that I saw that Overwatch did sort of well was the amount of characters and the HUD, yet the HUD was more clunky than a broken SUV. I was just overall upset from the game after playing a few matches. I'm very disappointed that a huge team by the name of Blizzard could be easily beaten down by a team of almost 13. The awards it got at The Game Awards were screwy as heck, with Warframe winning the vote by taking more than two thirds of the pie chart, yet Overwatch winning due to straight up popularity. Then Blizzard treats all the players like children, and banned a competitive Torbjorn main, who was one of, if not, the best Torb main, that player being Fuey500. The soundtrack sounded boring, though fitting the style of characters a bit, just boring. And people say starting Warframe is a bit newbie-unfriendly. Just another game under a big developer.… Expand

Almost every match is a complete washout for one side or the other, depending on whether the MM has decided you should win or lose. New players, prepare your anus because the matchmaking only (allegedly) tries to match aggregate skill on the two teams. That means that a bad player can and WILL get thrown in a match where almost everyone is much better as long as the magic algorithm thinks that the approximate team skill levels are balanced. Leaving aside the point I made above that matches are almost always garbage in solo-queue, even a near even match between teams will be a complete joyless pain if you are just fodder for the enemy team, and that's what is going on. Try logging on to some of the modes anywhere after about 8pm and watch what you'll get- one team around level 100 (or less) each against 3-5 people above 400lvls of experience. Pre-made teams against randoms. It's not a gg. So what I said before about matching the average skill of a team is BS, they don't even come close.

    It would be great if the vaunted "critic reviews" actually looked at things like matchmaking.

    ((Oh, and if you encounter the same jack@ss again and again griefing his own team, you can't do anything about it because they took out the "avoid player" button because toxic AHs were upset that no one wanted to play with them. The excuse is that "good players were being avoided because no one wanted to get beaten by them" but the SENSIBLE solution would have been to make "avoid this player" avoid having him on YOUR team. But Blizzard is either lazy, stupid, or loves to keep their games full of idiots griefing each other. Is mei walling his own team? How about teleporters that lead off cliffs?)) see below

    EDIT 3/25/18: Overwatch has now implemented a feature that allows you to avoid players on your team, just as many have suggested. HOWEVER, they limit you to two people. Two people out of how many players? And it lasts only 7 days. in the announcement they posted they said they are going to look at queue times and might increase the number. Hopefully they will increase it.

    And unfortunately there is no story, no plot, no solo or co-op play of any relevance so if you are put off by the crap matches you get, there is no point in playing. Really, the only way to play this game and have any fun is with multiple friends- the more the better so that you can defeat Blizzard's garbage matchmaking. But why give blizzard money for their lazy practices?

    - queue times are crazy (15+ minutes to find a game is the norm in most popular modes; in less popular ones it can go beyond 60 minutes)
    - it's extremely repetitive, and not in a fun way: you shoot at endless shields for 2 minutes then all 12 players use their ultimate abilities all at once and one team dies, rinse and repeat; Overwatch is as uninteractive as a game can be
    - most maps are garbage and there is no map vote
    - most maps are basically the same long tunnel-like structure except reskinned
    - your weapon covers up half the screen and you can't hide it
    - the matchmaker forces a 50% winrate (the more you win, the worse teammates you get); in practice, this means that all matches are one-sided stomps with only one team having a fighting chance (you know a game's bad when even winning doesn't feel good because you can clearly tell your win was forced by the matchmaker and you just pressed some buttons to achieve the inevitable outcome, losing's even worse but only slightly)
    - the power level of heroes is out of balance; less than half of the 30-hero roster is playable
    - the game has a report system that punishes players automatically based on just the number of reports submitted against them; what this basically means is that there is a neverending global kickvote against you that only stops when you get kickbanned and resumes as soon as you come back (!!!); because the system is fully automated, false/excessive reporting doesn't get punished resulting in people submitting reports on a whim meaning if you play the game a lot, you WILL eventually get suspended just because (this sounds like a sad joke but it's the truth; I suspect they introduced this asinine system to "encourage" you to purchase additional copies of the product)
    - the competitive mode is an absolute joke; solo and group queues are combined (not joking!!!) and it's common to see people from three different skill tiers in the same match (a byproduct of the game having very few players left I guess, but still: this shouldn't ever be allowed to happen)
    - the game is pretty much in maintenance mode; new content is sparse and typically makes the game even worse than it was before (for example, new maps they add are typically just reskinned old maps that nobody liked and new heroes are just a combination of several existing heroes which makes these old heroes largely obsolete)

    The time to get into and play Overwatch was at release and ~6 months thereafter. That's when the game had a healthy playerbase and was actually fun to play. Now it's dead. $19.99 (its current price) isn't much but why flush that money down the toilet? It'll probably go free-to-play soon anyway.

    Why should I spend money and time helping **** children on troll picks that seem to have one hand and it is paralyzed to have their “fun” by grabbing me down in ratings. And if I say a word about their bad play this company just bans me as I am “toxic”. **** you blizzard.

    The game is fun, until it starts to push micro transactions into you with tons of skins you will never have, loot boxes with **** loot. Also the forced 50/50 win ratio sucks, you might have the skill to carry the team, you might be very good at team work, but if you have a win streak blizzard will put you against a team absurdly more strong than yours

    Overall overwatch had great potential, you can see it in the mechanics, the story, and how well made the characters are. But you can also see that someone in Blizzard didn't give a **** to properly roll it out.
    Playing the game is frustrating because everything relies on how involved your team is. and sometimes they literally don't give a **** Even in competitive mode. I've never received so much harassment, or seen so much vitriol in a online game before. And I've been online for a very long time.

I look at other games with a purely multiplayer aspect and wonder where all the money is going from lootboxes. TO start, most games like this are at least free. LoL, TF2, DOTA2, SMITE, and more. Then on top of that you can't just outright buy cosmetics which isn't a good feeling.

    But the real letdown comes from the utter dearth of content. For $40-$60 you'd think they would add new characters, maps and gametypes on the regular, but no. In the 3 years this game has released, they finally have over 30 characters to choose from. LoL, an indie game(at the time) released for free with 50 unique characters.

    Again, lootboxes are a cash cow for this game. They make millions on this game. Yet somehow on the regular that money disappears into thin air. The servers often glitch out and do odd things like boot you from the game, while still being able to chat with everyone in the game, or randomly swap you to the other team 3 seconds before you were about to win.

    Another big gripe is the moderation. I have encountered dozens of people who just belittle you for no reason even in the non-competitive mode, but people get banned on the regular for saying "GG WP".

    Events are the same every year. Halloween event in particular is one that was fun for a while the first year, but 3 years in a row and you unintentionally memorize the exact spawns of enemies.

    Blizzard is known for their ability to tell grand stories and flesh them out with amazing cinematic sequences and character interaction to progress the story. In 3 years this game has had the most underwhelming cinematics(that you have to hunt down on youtube because they aren't even in the game anywhere to watch). The stories are often non-canon just for things like Christmas and Halloween too. In the end the world is very sparse and almost no progress has been made in telling it. Hell, half the characters have yet to have any story told.

    From a gameplay stance, it is a decently entertaining casual level of competitive combat. If you want to go MLG pro, there are a couple characters for that, and some easy mode characters if you aren't super good at aiming which is nice.

    Balance in the game is a joke. They have reworked one of the characters like 3 times at this point, and it makes you wonder why they can't get it right with just tweaking numbers.

    In the end, this game is not worth the money no matter how you look at it. I'd just suggest playing Paladins, or find another game.    … Expand

The devs are focused on creating an accessible game rather than one that is actually fun to play. They made it so that you can play someone like Reaper, contribute nothing all game, and press Q and get a 6K cause you spotted the moment. When I die in most other FPS at least I can acknowledge I was outsmarted or outplayed. But when you die to stuns and Q pressing, **** that needs zero aim, zero skill, zero hindsight, it just feels bad. The ****tiest thing about this game by far is the hero balance. Instead of balancing all heros to be able to compete with one another, this game became a game of counters. Feels like glorified rock paper scizors. Feels bad popping off and having half the team swap to counter your favorite hero. You can play a counter-swapping **** and do better than most one-tricks and climb the ranks. Which is a shame because I can count the heros that are actually fun to play on one **** hand.

I hadn't been a fan of any of their games since Starcraft 1, and even then I played that in between other projects of mine. But Overwatch looked like it had a lot of passion and hard work put into it. So I gave it a shot.

    Overwatch proved to be a waste of my money in the end. I had fun playing it for about a week and then wondered what all the hype was about. But a couple of my friends kept pulling me back in, saying I just hadn't played it the right way or something, so I kept trying. This game just didn't stick for me.

    It's...lacking. In almost every way that makes every other team based shooter I've played fun. There's no real depth or complexity to any of the engagements. You know who's gonna win in almost any situation. You know exactly how to counter another person because of how restrictive and inflexible the combat is. The fact Blizz keeps adding new heroes without really tackling some of the issues with the old ones only creates more problems. And my GOOOD, the ultimates got old, so so fast. There's nothing to them. You press a button and kill or heal everything. The ONLY thing you have to worry about is timing. It's just so bland.

    I've found that when discussing what makes playing Overwatch so much fun to the fans and people who consistently play it, I don't get anywhere. All they can really say is that it's generally a good game. Why? The only conclusion I can draw from this is that they like how simple it is, or they just don't know anything better. Ironically, one of the other points I'm often handed is that "It looks good." Dude...Quake III Arena still looks good to me, even now. It plays even better. I know we gotta get our rocks off to silky smooth 60+ fps and 2k resolution but can I get a game that plays first?? I get enough shiny looking dumpster fires from EA, thanks.

    This feels nitpicky, but another point about the game I'm handed is the story. This is at least a better case to make than how the game looks, but I couldn't take the lore seriously at all. It tries way too hard, imo. Arena shooters don't need a complicated story with a deep background and interpersonal relationships for literally every character. It's neat..sure. But ultimately unnecessary. TF2 and Quake got along fine with "group of people shooting each other for **** and giggles". In fact, thanks to the simplicity of the premise, players were allowed to connect with their chosen character much more smoothly. They became what we made them. That's way cooler than getting someone with a predetermined history in my books. Plus, it really seems like some of the more popular characters are only so because their **** and/or asses have more 3d polygons in them; 3D jerkbait. You know? That's really **** disappointing.

    TL;DR game is stupid simple. Nothing else to salvage here. Gonna go back to Quake, TF2 and Unreal. Peace.    … Expand

    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.
