    Best game play potential of any game I've played to date. I'm sure in the upper levels of coordinated game play this game is amazing. That being said I score it a 7.

I'm sure in the upper levels of coordinated game play this game is amazing. That being said I score it a 7. The matchmaking in this game is the sorriest excuse for a matchmaking system I've ever seen. There is 0 balance at the lower competitive tiers. You have your usual smurf accounts but blizzard actual did a great job handling them. However if you lose a handful of game in placements and wind up in gold or lower just give up on that competitive season if you solo queue like I do. I can't tell you how many times I join a game only to have a team full of idiots only pick damage characters... The game is next to unwinnable at that point if the other team has even half of a brain. There are tons of ways to fix this. They could implement a top 5 character selection when you start a queue and at least try to find some form of a balanced team composition for you to group with. Not only that, but you can queue up against anyone within +or- 1000 SR of yourself... this opens the door for better players to offer bad players a "carry" which means that they go in wreck all the kids that havent got a clue whats going on and boost the other account. There are even people making money off of this nonsense... At the end of the day Overwatch is a brilliant game with great characters and fun game play but because it so heavily relies on teamwork for you to stand a fighting chance it would be really nice if they took people who solo queue games into consideration. I'd be more than willing to wait 10 mins a match if it meant i'd have a team with the right composition. even an option between that and regular queue would be nice.… Expand

    A game bursting with excellent characters, art style, voice acting, and personality. However my fault with this game comes with its gameplay:
    - Too much disparity of difficulty between characters (eg. mercy and genji)
    - Healing regenerates far too much health, and so far only Ana has any antihealing abilities - Team comps are generally quite restrictive and revolve around a meta. -    A game bursting with excellent characters, art style, voice acting, and personality.

    - Shields usually come with too much health or too short a cooldown
    - Unlimited, instantaneous crouches
    - Only 6v6 team modes. TF2 was a far more fun game with 20v20 etc

    All the pieces for a great game are here, the art is beautiful, the maps pull you in with details and hidden stories, there are unique characters that don't seem like forced stereotypes.

    The two major detractors, are Blizzard (the developer of the game), and it's community. I didn't factor the community into my score, so lets focus on how Blizzard has handled the game since release.

    They completely randomize balance in the game, seemingly throwing a dart and spinning a wheel to see who gets nerfs and who gets a buff. They created this game with what seems an eSports focus (lots of stuff even happening in beta) but have done updates/balancing with casual play in mind. Im fine with either or, but it tries to play both sides of the field without doing a good job at either. I would honestly believe this game would be much better if they handed the rest of the development off to another company.    … Expand

    There is a bit of a game here, but it's a hot mess of imbalance and confusion. The controls are inconsistent from hero-to-hero and a lot of the controls have critical issues around them. The heroes are very unbalanced, and it doesn't look like Blizzard intends to even address the issues.

But Overwatch with it's "good looking graphics" and "good sound" combined with not even challenging and repetitive gameplay is just sad. "Hey, why not make a way to play the game that costs a little more effort from the player than just pressing shift for xy?" Nah. Balance is most of the time just broken af and every update solves one problem, but causes another one. I just mention the Mercy rework. First she was perfectly fine, then the rework came and she was stupidly OP, then got nerfed into the ground till she is pretty much useless compared to other support Hero's. And all that goes on and on. Fancy graphics with literally no exciting gameplay and such a small learning curve as Overwatch has it won't keep a game alive that long. It's -sadly- just another pile of useless AAA junk that some people were throwing on the market. Make it good or just don't make it... Even though I have to mention: It CAN be fun for 2-3 matches every few days, but the matches are too repetitive for me. It is one of those games which have the same **** formula for every single match. That's why I rate 2/10. Because you can have at least a bit fun with it for a short period of time.… Expand

    The game itself is okay. I don't find it enjoyable at all, personally. From my 67 hours on it, I have put together that It seems to be a shameless Team Fortress 2 clone.

"Fun" is opinion based, and shouldn't be used in large types of Criticism such as "Game of the Year". In Normal, unfair Criticism m such as a friend ranting, it would be okay. But claiming a Game to be Game of the Year, and your reasoning is because its "Fun", Is like electing Donald Trump into office because "Hes funny." And now for the second of many flaws in the reasoning behind this, "Its balanced." Ignoring the commonly accepted opinion by the people that this game is most definitely not balanced, An online-only multiplayer online shooter should be balanced from the start. It is not some kind of extra feature that the developers put in as a surprise, its something it should have from the start. That's like saying that a bowl of ice cream you just made is the best ice cream in the world because it has a spoon. The reasoning is just plain flawed. Overwatch came out the exact same year other games that deserve the spot as game of the year did. Some Examples include Dark Souls 3, DOOM, Inside, Final Fantasy 15, Uncharted 4, and Even Battlefield 1.
    All in all, the reasoning behind the criticism of this game is generally flawed and the community somehow ends up being worse than the fnaf community which is surprising.    … Expand

    Overwatch was my go-to game for years. Shame they stopped updating it and deleted it in favour for the greedy cash grab that is Overwatch 2. Blizzard no longer cares about its core player base and would rather just milk money from cosmetics. R.I.P Overwatch. You used to be something special.

    There is currently one mayor issue with this game however, and that's new content. Each event has less and less content with every year that goes by. Lucioball 4 times in a row and only 4 new legendary skins? That's a no from me. They are puting too much focus on the OWL, and the community suffers from this by the lack of content and slow updates. The comics as well as the cinematic trailers are very hard to come by as well. The last time a new cinematic popped up was almost 9 months ago.

    A Blizzard cancelou a transmissão brasileira (e de outros países) da Overwatch League, trocou a plataforma de transmissão gringa, não dá satisfação de como serão os drops. Total descaso com a comunidade.

    Overwatch has a roster of great characters (and I mean them as characters, not heroes to play as and against), is very good-looking, allows to create custom game modes and has a feature to give players something to do while waiting for their queue. However, its other aspects heavily outweight that. Yes, so heavily that it's worth 0 to me.

    Regarding balance, Blizzard cares only about    Overwatch has a roster of great characters (and I mean them as characters, not heroes to play as and against), is very good-looking, allows to create custom game modes and has a feature to give players something to do while waiting for their queue. However, its other aspects heavily outweight that. Yes, so heavily that it's worth 0 to me.

    Regarding balance, Blizzard cares only about balancing the game for Overwatch league which works out okay for grandmaster players but is pretty much a "screw you" for the remaining 99% of the players. Of course screw them, it's OWL that brings in money, not players. That, or whoever is responsible for balancing has IQ far below average. For instance, Brigitte, one of the support heroes, was forced into F tier for the majority of the players in August 2019 and was only getting weaker since then. And how would you like a sniper that can't be countered because Blizzard was dumb enough to give her ways to counter her counters, removing any weaknesses a sniper is supposed to have so the only actual way to "counter" her is to win a sniper duel against her? And of course she oneshots non-tanks and deals very heavy damage to tanks.

    Ranked play is full of throwers. Good luck getting anywhere when you constantly lose matches because your teammates decide to not let you win. But I guess it's an issue every team game will have. Anyways, if you want a competent team you'll have a much better chance of getting it in casual play.

    Not that it would matter since matchmaking is terrible. It literally forces 50% winrate. You steamroll, then get steamrolled, then steamroll again, then get steamrolled again, and so on. Sometimes comes in packs of two to three.

    I started playing Overwatch almost two years after its release and missed out how it was promoted by Blizzard and how it was in the beginning but I heard a lot about it being a game where you can play any role an will still be able to contribute to your team even if your aim is bad because there are heroes that aren't heavily reliant on it. Well, good luck playing support when you are a free kill for any flanker or diver. Brigitte was released as a protector for her fellow supports but she's resting on the bottom of the trash bin so it's back to free kills. And good luck playing tank when you get annihilated in a second. Barriers help with that. Or used to because Blizzard has been actively trashing barrier tanks and now two out of three are outright unplayable. Healing also helps with that but healers get nerfed. Not to mention that Blizzard is thinking of implementing a limit of one tank per team. Sure, tanks got some buffs to compensate. Some tiny tiny buffs that don't stop them from dying at a moment's notice. And damage heroes are just op as hell.

    Sadly, Blizzard hasn't been about gamers making games for gamers for a long time already. And current state of Overwatch along with epic fail with Warcraft 3: Refunded actually makes me worried for the fate of Diablo IV and Overwatch 2.    … Expand

    Used to play it a LOT when it just came out. Then, after few years so many updates, all there is - is broken game and cheaters. Constant freezes on top hardware.

    4) Reports doesnt work. Teammate can write about politics, say wrong about your family or just stay at base all game - there is no punishment for such behavor. Only for "N" word. Nice job Blizzard.

    It was an amazing game.

Additionally, since the newest update, winning your ten games is equivalent to not even playing the game. Someone who wins 7 or 8 out of their games has the same chance of being ranked with players who have only won one. All-in-all, Overwatch is a poor excuse for an FPS with Blizzard once again trying to hop on the band wagon of popular game genres (I'm looking at you Heroes of the Storm) with basically what you could call a poor man's Team Fortress 2.

    That's all you need to know. It is the one big factor ruining this game. Every match is a steamroll one way or the other, because it intentionally matches you against much better or much worse players. It's not so much a game as a coin toss.

    First 50 hours of Overwatch are kind of fun but then you'll start to realise all the very minor but highly annoying design faults in this game and its internal logic. The characters are all fun and the lore is interesting. However the game mechanics are very very very poor at closer inspection compared to other similar games such as TF2. Blizzard also has "Not Invented Here Syndrome".First 50 hours of Overwatch are kind of fun but then you'll start to realise all the very minor but highly annoying design faults in this game and its internal logic. The characters are all fun and the lore is interesting. However the game mechanics are very very very poor at closer inspection compared to other similar games such as TF2. Blizzard also has "Not Invented Here Syndrome".

    Blizzard keeps attempting various ideas which have been tried before decades ago and conclusively determined to be bad before discovering on their own an existing known best practise or design. The management is also quite bad. By the time you have 200 hours like I have you'll absolutely hate this game. This truly is a strategy game company's first attempt at making first-person shooter. They just do not "get it".

    One design idea Overwatch employs a lot is to make the each team responsible for their collective actions. Thus Overwatch is a game which doesn't care what ever you do in your team as an individual player. You could be the best guy to heal people, best guy to do frags, but ultimately that doesn't matter as you're not evaluated based on your individual performance. You get points by doing teamwork and the game only evaluates players how much and how well they do teamwork. Individuals aren't welcome.

    If one of the mates quits the game in your team, all players, including the opposing team, will have their points reduced. It's made to disincentive leaving during a match but it just makes not so fun game when you know you're forced to play a game you cannot win any longer and you've lost interest to.

    Overwatch also does player profiling where it attempts to place similarly playing individuals against each others. Do you play with people who often rage quit during a match or have done it yourself few times? Well, start expecting to see people who quit the match more often than not. Text chat a lot during game? Ok, you'll end up with people who chat a lot and don't concentrate on game. This is apparently a means to fight trolls.

    How about we throw 12 random individuals of various skill levels, nationalities, languages, experiences, etc. who don't know each other beforehand and don't communicate during a match? The result is just a disaster. This is a game for groups of friends not for individual players and you will constantly lose and lose and lose and lose until you find a group for yourself. Otherwise there is going to be always that one guy who doesn't get the pacing of the team and blames everyone for the problems of the team except himself or herself and doesn't concentrate on improving the team. Also the people who "main" certain characters a garage who need to quit Overwatch as they've not understood the game at all.

    Having just any group also won't do. It needs to be a group that has trust inside it and ability to know each character inside and out to be able to improve the group's collectivist skill cap and to support your team. That is an impossible equation.

    By the way the community in Overwatch is cancer and Blizzard is feeding them. Blizzard for example banned certain words from chat because according to the community "hurt feeling" of people which was just ridiculous.

    Technology in Overwatch also doesn't really work. I don't like the latency issues caused by data centre approach to servers. I'd prefer player controlled and owned servers. The loot box system is cancer and makes the game unfunny and unenjoyable since you cannot play the game to have skins and other costumes you want. Instead you'll receive random things and seeing constant boxes of duplicates is very very common.

    What little there is music, it's great. Most of the characters are decent but some are just throughout useless and hinder the lowest common determination combination possible which might win. Widowmaker in particular because most people are not good at shooting with sniper rifle in this game. And each time you see a person select Widowmaker you know your team is going to lose. Character balance is just bad in OW and the amount of characters make sure that it's impossible to reach a balance.

    Just don't. Don't get into Overwatch unless you have a group of friend who constantly keeps playing this game and you all think alike, drink same liquids, eat same food, live under same roof, etc. You will lose as an individual player regardless of your skill level and history in FPS games.

    And I know it isn't a real thing in most games but in Overwatch the ELO Hell is a real thing and it exists and once you get into sub 1500s in competitive mode there is no way out from there unless you have a group of friends to play the game with.    … Expand

    I got Overwatch after some peer pressure from friends, one of the reasons I was against getting it was because of major hacker problems. Guess what, It still has hackers problems! But the thing is; it doesn't really matter that much on open play or bot matches because you can still have fun, just don't expect to win every match.

    Now for Ranked matches, hackers should be dealt with but it seems alot fall though the cracks because of the way the characters, and skills work. Is there a lot of hackers in the game? Yes, in fact its fully of hackers but there are also a lot of highly skilled players who have been playing since the game launched and being able to tell the difference between them is near impossible sometimes. You can blame Blizzard here for allow net cafes (PC Bangs) in Korea for this problem - they recently banned 20,000 accounts? But since they can create an infinite amount of accounts and smurf accounts it really compounds this problem especially if they don't get banned quick enough.

    One of the things I don't really like is that fact the match making system is obviously worthless, it just doesn't work. I'm a level 15 currently, a new player...so why am I'm being placed in matches against level 300s? This absurd matchmaking is one of the reasons why I'm deducting points, in a game that is 90% Competitive PvP - a proper matchmaking system is important and Blizzard fluff'd this.

    Next problem is the absurd and overpowered characters, some characters are so WTF overpowered it isn't even funny, and other characters are almost pathetically underpowered. But most of the time, it isn't going to matter that much at least when your enjoying the game.

    I like the idea that you can get some decent stuff from loot boxes without paying, and the MTs don't effect gameplay at all, which is kinder rare these days for FPS games.

    Another problem is that, honestly? There isn't very many maps, limited variation - it seems they added a few new game types called "The arcade" which I haven't tried yet, but I'm going to assume if they use the same match making system then for new players, it is going to be a waste of time and will be frustrating.

    The Co-op feature vs Bots is something I feel like I'm more able to enjoy the game, and I wish more game modes was available. Finally, it seems a lot of the reviews have compared this to TF2 and honestly, I saw that immediately when I first played the Route 66 level, the color and style felt almost like a rip off - another issue is that with this 50/50 win/loss ratio, getting placed into a good team and being carried, winning several matches...then being placed into a team with wildly different levels then losing then next few matches.

    In hindsight, Overwatch isn't a bad game, not worth $60 and I feel bad for anyone who paid full price at launch and regretted it, I paid $40 for the GOTY edition and looking back, I feel like I should have just got the basic version and saved $10....however, I'm okay with my purchase and this game is something I can have fun with, new players though I don't recommend binge playing because you could quickly get bored with the repetitive maps, and loses due to poor match making.

    Another major issue is the fact that getting skins, especially with the current "anniversary" event is way way too hard, or way too expensive. The fact that you could easily spend $100 on loot boxes and STILL not get the particular skin you want says how offensive the micro transactions can be.    … Expand

    Blizzard has surely hit rock bottom with this one.

    Very boring and unimaginative characters and no progression system at all. Would be better if they didn't try to market it as an esport... which it isn't and will never be.

    Overall, the game is OK. It's basically a MOBA FPS. There are different roles: Tank, Healer/Support, and Damage. Fun for awhile, but the matchmaking system is inherently flawed. A 50/50 Win Loss ratio is coded into the game. No matter how well you play, your fun can be ruined by bad teammates or folks leaving the match early.

You can not buy items you want you gamble with real money to TRY to get them. Parents be warned do not buy this for your kids it is only gambling not gameplay. Again this is what you get when you spend lots of money telling people how good something is when in fact it's a cheap rip off of team fortress 2. Go play that it's free and better.

    Hacking, rage quit, you name it. The punishment is also laughable when you can just throw money in to negate the punishment of -75% gambling box progression.

    It's also should be labeled as gambling software, not game.

    Overwatch? More like Overrated. The game was good for about a month but after that, the game became extremely tedious and repetitive. They also barely ever add new characters to this game. Why does this game get a free pass when other games that lack in content get criticized to oblivion.

    An experiment to gauge the depths of humanity's stupidity. It went horribly right.

    Shallow gameplay + repetitive, poorly designed maps + incompetent matchmaker + vastly unbalanced characters = "Sign me up!" to a lot of people, apparently.

They want to make the game eSport but is so casual... for the content it brings for the money you pay for and for the type of game it is, i give it a 5, appart of been a blizzard game (addictive as hell) is another game... nothing special about this one...

    Its a fun game, and its well done, nobody can complain about it.
    But the game is incomplete, U$S 60 for an incomplete game doesn't make sense, it should continue being in a beta state until the can complete it.
    I would advice to not buy the game until a year or two once they complete it and lower the price.

    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.
