    Hola esta es una critica en español y mi opinión de OW es de que es un fiasco y un total intento fallido de hacer un juego como el TF2 solo que los de Blizzard le agregan los poderes secundarios tipo moba y ya con eso según ellos tiene un juego la pura verdad este juego va dirigido al publico masculino y a niños por el echo de que trata del típico escuadrón de HÉROES y en TF2 no solo son 9Hola esta es una critica en español y mi opinión de OW es de que es un fiasco y un total intento fallido de hacer un juego como el TF2 solo que los de Blizzard le agregan los poderes secundarios tipo moba y ya con eso según ellos tiene un juego la pura verdad este juego va dirigido al publico masculino y a niños por el echo de que trata del típico escuadrón de HÉROES y en TF2 no solo son 9 mercenarios con mucho carisma, la gente que consocio el OW conoció primero al personaje femenino Tracer y luego ala WindowMaker gracias a paginas de arte o vídeos para adultos si saben de los que dijo y para mi es la primera ves que veo mucho de ese contenido para adultos y así ha pasado con todas las Mujeres del OW y hasta ahora la única que les interesa es la D´va por su estilo como chica Otaku Gamer.

    Y otro punto es de que el juego es puro OLINE y tiene los mismos modos de juego como captura la bandera, captura el punto de control, y la que mas me llamo la atención fue la de Carga explosiva como se dice en TF2 (que consiste de llevar por unas vías de tren un un carreta una bomba y llevarla su destino) pero a qui en ves de ser una bomba es una limusina blindada, la verdad es los mismos TF2 sin excepción solo con mujeres muy sexualizadas y el publico no ve las criticas reales que son las de los jugadores a mi en lo personal no me interesa una critica de un critico de Ahora por razones de corrupción, lo malo que el juego esta incompleto solo ONLINE en serio a pero eso si puedes comprar skins que para mi es como si el juego lo hubieran echo hace 6 meses no loan terminado por falta de dinero y como se lo gastaron mas en propaganda de todo tipo si hasta contenido para adultos por que esos artistas no cobran barato y debió ser un buen trato, pero volviendo al tema del Gaming es igualito al TF2 y el TF2 es gratis y la comunidad genial pero esto que esto no es un juego real esto es un juego reciclado y pagar como 999.00 pesos mexicanos no lo vale y creo que sera de esos juegos como TF2 que antes fue de paga y después Gratis y como deje antes ami se me hace un juego incompleto y que aparte sera terminada después de recaudar dinero con los skins .

    Personajes:
    Los personajes de OW para mi y en verdad 2 o mas hacen a uno del TF2 como un ejemplo: WindoWmaker+Hanzo=Sniper del TF2 pero por que miren para los que no han jugado TF2 el sniper tiene varias arnas pero se dividen en 2 Sniper y arco y tiene la misma jugabilidad hasta las dos armas de Window que son el sniper y rifle de asalto eso los tiene el mismos Sniper pero del TFClassic y así con todos Tracer+Lúcio=Scout, Spy=Genji+Reaper+McCree(El spy tambien depende de los disparos ala cabeza), Ingeniero=Torbjörn+Symmetra, este he visto en el juego de OW 4 Heavy=Roadhog+BASTION+WINSTON+Zarya, Medic=MERCY+Zenyatta, Pyro=Mei, Saldado=Soldado: 76+Pharah, y al final mi perosnaje favorito del TF2 que es DEMOMAN que se comforma 2 uno repetido que son: Demoman:REINHARDT+PHARAH(de nuevo)+JUNKRAT ere fianl es el mas copiado por si lanza bombas lapa y su famoso sticky jump, mismas mecánicas en todos los personajes y por favor antes de critica mal o bien un juego comparen los 2 tanto como OW y el TF2 que tiene suerte de ser gratis y no pierden nada

    Motivos por que su éxito:
    1.- Mucha publicidad de cual quier tipo sin perdonar.
    2.- Gaming reciclado de un FPS real que es el TF2 que lleva mas de 9 años apenas en este año.
    3.-Personajes femeninos muy sexualizadas tanto como en FanArt como en el Juego.
    4.-Mucha prensa Corrupta.
    5.-Una jugabilidad muy fácil como en PC y en consolas que la verdad lo puede jugar un niño que juega COD o Splatoon sin tanta experiencia.
    6.-El juego esta dirigido al publico masculino de 12 a 25 años.
    7.-Texturas muy infantiles y no tiene Gore.
    8.-Y personas que compran jugos pro moda.

    Gracia por ver este comentario y piensa lo 2 veces por que como dicen en steam no hay devoluciones Saludos :D!

    PD: Estes es un mensaje para todos los jugadores de OW o fanboys que dicen a los de TF22: juégalo antes de criticar al OW pues mira yo te dijo los mismo con TF2 juega primero TF2 compáralo con el OW y tu dime cuales mejor por que eso de decir que por que tu juegas al OW y muchos estén de acuerdo con eso argumento no se me hace una excusa ni aceptable por que el TF2 ya cumple en este 2016 sus 9 años desde su entrega y se me hace una tontería de decir eso pro que el OW es de paga y por que uno que no le gusta ese juego lo va comprar para hacer una critica buena pero en cambio los de OW puedes criticar al TF2 en total por que es un juego F2P y muchos jugadores le dan de User Score 9.1 t los críticos 9.2 en cambio el OW tiene miren que es raro decir esto un juego reciclado de un juego de VALVE que por los críticos: 9.1 en pc 9.1 en Xbox one y en Play Station 4 es de 9.0 he pero esperate esa son de los críticos pero la que en verdad importa es del consumidor osease el publico y mira que hay un cambio drástico: PC:7.0, y las mas fatales XboxOne:5.7 y Playe Station 4:6.2    … Expand

    The attempt is not bad. Its a game based on tons of fun and interesting characters. Each character has unlockable tags they can spray on walls, voicelines, victory poses, skins etc. It has quite a few levels to play in and the graphics are really nice.

When matchmaking throws you into a fight, alone in your team against six in the opposing team, the round ends in just seconds and you are punished with a defeat in your "season", whatever that is... then you are left with that odd feeling (is this the beta? I paid money to play this). This is not Blizzards courtyard, yet. Once Overwatch 2 or 3 hit the shelves, I think that those might be really good games.… Expand

    Addictively fun, colorful, technically highly polished game with great character design BUT with a very questionable gambling-like microtransactions/loot system. Personally I don't think paying for cosmetic upgrades in a full priced game is bad per se. But the way Blizzard did it in Overwatch is not OK.

Now lets go to the main review: The game is good but not excellent and has potential to be something amazing...Gameplay and overall game mechanics are taken from TF2 but the heroes looks like something more close to Dota. It could be fun but in most cases very annoying due to unbalanced heroes,maps and abilities. The good part is that it will last for a few years at least and we are going to receive updates and new features from time to time. Also the sound is good and along with good graphics and optimization makes me to say that Overwatch is a must try game. Although the price is too high for this kind of game. At competitive mode the game is currently an attempt far for being good at this chapter but it could become good if they will continue to balance it because is hard to balance this kind of game where every hero has some special ability which is overpowered over another hero...The game is not competitive neither fun as well just aspire to be mediocre at both competitive and fun. Sincerely TF2 was so much better and fun, characters were more fun definitely. I think Blizzard is not experienced with FPS so this should be the cause for the mediocrity of game. On the other hand the item drop is good and even better we don't have microtransactions. There is a chance to 50% to like this game...I dont know but personally I liked it very much in the begining but got bored after 20 hours of game. When we talk about the events this is not a big deal at all as well because you get only some crates with skins and a special brawl mode (plus a main menu theme) and thats all...no map decorations or something special...(50/100 for me considering that that Blizzard still makes good games)… Expand

It's technically correct that the heroes are all varied and balanced, but the way Blizzard has balanced them has been to make them all have fairly glaring weaknesses that need support.

    There are other games that are perfectly balanced where you still feel like you can make a big difference in a game, but in OW if the teammate you need to support you fails you're going to fail too without question. Players are essentially cogs in Blizzard's team synergy machine (but they're such well balanced cogs!).

    I think a great point of comparison is Evolve, which many critics said was too simplistic. OW is by any measure more simplistic than Evolve, except to maintain fake balance your abilities don't do anything compared to what they would in Evolve. If you don't do something about the Shield Beam in Evolve, the monster will lose without question, and when the Support goes down if the monster can't keep him from getting revived that can be game over. In contrast, Zarya in OW has a shield that lasts like 2 seconds. Big **** deal. Reinhardt's shield can be broken by Bastion in like 3 seconds - but it's never just Bastion, is it?

    What this game could have been..Due to the nature of this game, being team based, it is difficult to win games when other players do not communicate and change heroes to better the team when they are not doing well. This usually happens in every game, making the experience very dissatisfying. Unless you are willing to deal with bad teammates and very bad toxicity, this is not a good purchase.

    Fun FPS. No more. The game play is the same as Team Fortress 2, with better structure and quality of servers, and even simpler for new players, but it lacks of more game modes, something that make you feel that you scale your level, and a Story mode (single or Co-Op). Its fun, don't get me wrong, is fast, it's perfect for some fast games when you only have 20 minutes of free-time.

    The team build is quite simple, and is not as mandatory to win as other games, but it doesn't mean that a good pre-made would not make a difference.
    The bad point is the different versions, that you pay A LOT for too many trash for other Blizzard games, even if you don't own them or play them. IMO the cheapest version is the best option.

    Titanfall had an effective online story campaign in which ending scenes depended on who won the match for that scenario. Titanfall doesn't have the character appeal of Overwatch, which baffles me that there isn't a story mode at all for Overwatch.

    Overwatch feels like an updated version of Team Fortress 2 with Smash Attacks borrowed from the Smash Brothers, and skills you can use reminiscent of a MOBA. They integrate all of the abilities seamlessly, and it works so well that it's currently holding the entire game together.

    "Overwatch? More like Overrated" is set to become one of the great gaming cliches for which 2016 will be remembered.

If, however, you crave white-knuckle, skill-based shooter action, you will come away disappointed.

    There is very little scope for individual ability to shine - the game is entirely team based, resulting in a dull experience where nobody is really any better than anybody else. Combat is dominated by the Q button, which releases ludicrously easy, mega powered specials. The guns themselves are incredibly weak otherwise, resulting in combat that is slow and uneventful. If you shoot somebody, their healer heals them, resulting in a lengthy, tedious stalemate until somebody busts out their Q-button special and kills everything without any skill or aim at all.

    It's ironic that in a game where the characters are described as "Heroes", that there is no possibility of individual heroism at all. Teams clump up like sheep and heal each other. This is no game for heroes, this is a game that rewards the herd mentality. Unlike any respectable shooter, it is virtually impossible to take on superior numbers and win because the skill ceiling is so low. No, heroes need not apply in Overwatch.

    Map design is very questionable with some nigh on impenetrable choke points, an issue further exacerbated by the presence of some extremely campy characters, resulting in static rather than dynamic gameplay and a crushing sense of the inevitable since, once again, we can't call upon superior skill to help us overcome the odds since there is no skill in overwatch.

    Overall, Overwatch = Underwhelming. Mildly fun in small doses, but shooter fans will come away feeling very lukewarm.    … Expand

    - Порочная идея командности с рандомами. Как вы себе это вообще представляете, да еще и на совершенно разных героях?

    The most interesting mode, Escort (where you push or defend the cart TF2 style) doesn't have enough maps, where the other modes rely on lazily made symmetrical/mirrored maps with not much scope.

    Overwatch aims to be casual fun with your friends as well competitive if you want to be, but the skill floor is so high it doesn't take much skill to use certain abilities that you can't do much about unless you're a specifically hard counter character - which is a poor excuse for balance if you ask me (whatever anyone says)

    Overwatch WILL be a great game eventually, when it's balanced properly and gets more content. All future content will be free, and with over 10 million players already, it's worth being part of the movement if you have the money burning a hole in your pocket. If you don't, wait a year or so until it's fixed I will probably be giving it a much high score, we'll see.    … Expand

    Animations are fantastic.
    And most importantly, it is super fun if you have friends to play with.
    My biggest issue with this game is that the current server tick-rate is sitting at a very disappointing refresh rate of 20hz meaning that sometimes you will die from bullets not registering properly which is unacceptable from a competitive standpoint, and let's be honest, Blizzard will push this game to be part of the eSports scene.
    Also, the content is very lacking.

    Now, from this point of my review I want everyone to understand that what I'm going to say are completely my opinions and takes on how I enjoy video-games overall, so don't take this to heart.
    First of all, I'm a very competitive person, I have been playing fighting games and arena shooters for almost two decades, and what I enjoy the most of the games I play is how high the skill ceiling is and what your character's limits are and what you can do with him but, when I watch Soldier 76 mauling everyone without having to aim with his ult, Reaper's Ultimate and Bastion players sitting in one place shooting and killing everyone in sight with apparently no recoil whatsoever it's really off-putting for me.
    Now, I'm not saying that these particular heroes are over-powered since you can easily counter them with another hero, I just don't like the little effort that you have to make to kill someone in this game.
    I also think the maps are not that good with poorly placed health packs specially if we compare them to TF2's extremely memorable maps.

    TL;DR:
    The art-style is definitely my favorite aspect of this game and it is super fun with friends but, from a competitive standpoint this game doesn't appeal to ME, I know everyone is enjoying it and that's fine. The content is very lacking too.
    Kudos to Blizzard for such an extremely successful game.

    It's okay, but not for a full priced game. Not much content, extremely repetitive after ~5 hours, and the skill ceiling is insanely low. Clicking Q and killing the entire team isn't very fun or skill-based.

Great Blizzard, just great, that's a perfect way to introduce people to your game.

    That doesn't mean the game isn't without positives, it looks great, it runs great, the heroes feel pretty well balanced, there aren't really any duplicates in the roster. But since there are no dedicated servers that you can run yourself that's it end of story you're stuck with the enforced 50% win rate, as opposed to interesting games or good teams or even being matched up with players of a similar skill level, nope 50% win rate.    … Expand

The gameplay is good, the game is well polished, and Blizzard has worked hard to balance the heroes since launch. I had a blast with overwatch when it first came out and for a few months afterwards. The problem is player population. As the months have gone by, the shrinking pool of players in my country has caused the matchmaking to become worse and worse. It is now common to spend 3-4 minutes waiting for a match, even during peak times in the evening on weekends. These long waits are more often than not followed by an unbalanced match. I have no problem losing games, what I have a problem with is getting steamrolled by the same team 4-5 games in a row, then steamrolling another team, or getting backfilled into a losing game with no chance of winning. I understand that online matchmaking is not a perfect science, and the algorithm is probably doing the best that it can to provide good matches, but there simply are not enough players to make it happen. The $70AUD price tag for a multiplayer only game almost a year after it's release is almost certainly the cause of this problem. This game deserves a 9 for it's gameplay, honestly, however Blizzard's desire to gouge Australian gamers is killing this game, at least for me.… Expand

    I tried most of the characters. I loved playing Genji, Tracer & Bastion.
    The problem is that there is not enough content to justify its price tag. There may be 21 characters but none of them can be further modified (save cosmetically). There are lots of maps but most are repetitive.
    Another problem is with the PS4 controls. I may have not gotten the sensitivity settings right (used default, then tweaked every 4 games) but I found it more difficult to to track enemies with the cursor compared to COD, Destiny, Borderlands. The cursor usually ends up overshooting. Like I mentioned might be due to the settings. Problematic when playing Widowmaker

    But the gameplay is **** Consistently **** I stuck with it for a week but it was painfully unfun.

    The flow of gameplay is schizoid; Disorganized to the point of painfulness. It wouldn't be an issue in a typical FPS game, but the format of Overwatch calls for some degree of organization which is not fulfilled by playing with randoms.

    The game doesn't lack content. It's just bad. Think of it... A lot of FPS games could survive on one or two core maps. Content is then created by player interaction. If those interactions are fun, you have a near endless supply of good content.

    A lot of people do play Overwatch, but if it wasn't backed by Blizzards advertising wallet it wouldn't be popular. (Or maybe perhaps if their current formula didn't "work" they might be more consistent with their products.)

    I won't deny that Overwatch is fun when teams "click." It's probably a blast with a regular team. Maybe it'll be more fun when the playerbase has more experience, and the metagame matures...

    -20 tick rate servers (20 refreshes per second). Modern FPS games used 60 tick or higher. This means that Blizzard cheaped out and is using a netcode model that was popular back when dial-up was still a thing. It also leads to a lot of unnecessary and frustrating deaths as the low update rate and their server prediction algorithms kill you because your own reactions to situations fail to register in time. Considering the fast-paced nature of the game, this money-grubbing decision by Blizzard makes the game frustrating for anyone with any kind of FPS experience and skill. It is currently one of the most hotly debated topics on their message boards, which they are ignoring. This issue, if not addressed makes the idea of Overwatch becoming an e-sport a complete joke.

    -Poor matchmaking (hopefully this sorts itself out as people supposedly have ratings that help them adjust their matchmaking accordingly) and accusations that they are using the same kind of matchmaking as Heroes of the Storm which forces people into games where they get stomped repeatedly if they win rate goes too high over 50%.

    -RNG crackboxes for cosmetics. This is a pretty blatant cash grab and preys on the psychology behind gambling addition, which some people are susceptible to. They should have kept random loot boxes for leveling but allowed you to buy whatever skins/emotes/sprays you want like they do in Heroes of the Storm and World of Warcraft. This decision was probably forced upon them by Activision who aren't afraid to do anything to maximize profits.

    -Hero stacking and poor hero balance. Some heroes are quite powerful while others are just meh. "Pro" teams stack the powerful ones. Some heroes are extremely cheesy when stacked, like Bastion and Torbjorn, to name two. There is currently no limit on how many of one specific hero can be used.

    -Missing features at launch e.g. no Competitive Mode. Yet the cash shop works perfectly.

    -Two-faced policy when it comes to banning cheaters. 2 "pro" players were busted for using aimbots in Overwatch competitive play. They were not banned and are still making streams, playing competitively and making bank from the game. Yet Blizzard states a zero-tolerance policy for cheating and claims to have banned people caught. So it seems like if you're a "pro" player and bring visibility to the game from an e-sports perspective and help Blizzard make more inroads into the e-sports scene, you are treated differently from everyone else.

    The graphics, animations and sound are all excellent. The game looks good and runs well. If they can address the gameplay issues outlined above, the game is definitely one of the best shooters on the market but if they don't, it's going to sour the community fast.    … Expand

    It's a game based around 20 or so Heroes that all have 'unique' play styles, you will spend all your time either bashing your head against a brick wall as you throw yourself against the enemy in an attempt to escort (Yes.. escort missions!!! So much fun..) the payload to a destination or completely stomp the enemy into the ground, all the while playing on escort maps that become ever more choke-points that render the enemy team an even greater advantage. There is also capture the area (Most balanced) and a combination of the previous two game modes leading to a hybrid of sorts. All be told there are a whopping ... three game-modes to play in.

    As with most games where you're locked into a character with unique skills and attributes there are some who are exceptionally strong and those that are .. well.. In need of a minor buff, some tanks don't feel 'tanky' at all and support characters that are capable of dishing out the pain like a pure dps character. Almost every match-up I've had so far (It is early days yet I'll give the game that) has almost everyone choosing the sniper/dps hero's leaving me to have to pick up the slack and choose the support and/or tank.

    Since all the Hero's have unique skills it follows that there is a champion who counters those skills and enables you to progress as a team, it becomes extremely monotonous when you have to rock paper scissor your way through a match, although you can buck the trend and have a team made up exclusively of one hero (Yes hero stacking is a thing, blizzard didn't learn from league of legends), which on some maps is extremely broken.

    It does have it's charm however, the characters are all quirky and interesting (If lacking in the lore department), some having that edgy, dangerous look about them others are charming and cute, while some are a combination of the two, all of which are rendered in a very beautiful, stylized graphics engine. You have various vanity unlocks for each of them, from in-game emotes, skins, lines they can say and various different sprays, there is enough useless junk to collect that would give Ubisoft games a run for it's money.

    All in all I would wait for the price to drop before purchasing this game, it's fun in short bursts but it has it's issues to say the least, but seeing as this is a blizzard game the price wont see a drop until sometime in the next decade.    … Expand

And solo queuing games is a nightmare... you'll be expected to lose a lot because a pre made lobby is a lot more functional than a group of randoms. Why is a pre made necessary to efficiently rank up, whereas solo queuing players work like a dirty dog to actually rank up.

    How can anyone justify this dsyfunction-palooza of a matchmaking... it's honestly one of the worst excuses for any type of competitive gamemode I've ever seen. Good job guys you ruined Overwatch which had the potential to be the "next FPS". Really is such a shame... Why bother releasing a half a**ed game... so I'll be making a half a**ed review because you deserve it.    … Expand

    Overrated.

    Runs really well but solo queuing is really boring. There are better things to play if you want to play with friends.

    Stay away from this game if you are into FPS/aim this is more of a rock/paper/scissor with the classes. Hitboxes twice the size of the models and 30 tick servers.

    The game has become something refreshing not only to the Blizzard community, but also to the gaming community as a whole. Not gonna lie but recently Team Fortress 2 has been going down a landslide in the way of the community as it's slowly dying. Sure Overwatch is not free but at least it's bold like a refreshing kopperberg on a table while the sun sets down.

    As is expected from Blizzard, this game has gotten its fair share of polish, and it shows. Its stable, the art design is great, the audio is on point, and the characters are all fun to play as. So where could you go wrong?

    Solo play. That is, playing the game without a group. See, this is a game where teamwork reigns supreme. If you can't work as a team, your side will lose, horribly. Like, embarrassingly bad. So when you join a game where your team refuses to work together (whether through character roles or just playing together) not only will you lose, but you won't even have fun. You will start to dread playing solo.

    And then you play as a pre-made group with communication and all of a sudden, this is an awesome game! You're having fun, you're winning and losing games, and before you know it, 4 hours have passed and you're wondering where the time went.

    But like anything, you'll remember the negatives more than the positives. I can't recommend this game to people who don't have a dedicated group already. Solo matchmaking is a gamble you'll more often lose, and winning doesn't even feel that rewarding anyways. Its stomp or be stomped, out of 194 matches, i've had 2 that I would consider anything nearing "a close game". Plus, an event in which no one could have possibly saw comming some characters are in need of a bit of balancing. Who would have guessed?

    I give it a 6. The good games are fun, let there be no doubt. Playing as a team, against other teams, is fun and rewarding, but playing solo is such an infuriating experience. I imagine some people will quit just from that alone, and I wouldn't blame them. Good teams are rare, but the bad teams make you regret buying the game in the first place.    … Expand

    Let me get this straight, Overwatch is not a bad game. But having 2000 hours in TF2, with some of it in the competitive scene, I bought the game with very high expectations, of course it wouldn't meet all of them.

And for a while, I enjoyed the game hard enough to give    Let me get this straight, Overwatch is not a bad game.

    Yet, at first, everything was better. High polish! More gameplay, more ways to enjoy! Awesome looks! High skill cap! And for a while, I enjoyed the game hard enough to give this game a 10.

    I had a blast learning every corner of the maps. I had a blast learning most of the heroes. I had a blast experiencing the full circle of human emotions, from joy after a hard win, anger and sadness after losing. It really is an investing game, .... or so I thought until I hit a problem TF2 never had.

    TF2 could switch up the ways one could enjoy the game. You could play the way Valve meant it to be played, but not only. If you wanted to go for a more casual experience, you could. If you wanted to be really competitive, more than intended, you could. If you wanted to improve some skills while still having fun, jump maps or sniper only maps were there for you. The list goes on and on....

    Overwatch doesn't have that. Meaning that no matter how great the game might be, if you're looking for more than the simple package given by Blizzard you'll have to pass.

    But the real problem I had after 300 levels in Overwatch was the skill ceiling. After they removed edge dashing with Genji, there are no more tricks you can learn to get any kind of advantage in the game (they are legion in TF2)
    These kind of tricks, while giving you slight advantages, used to make me feel like I was progressing, that I was getting better at that game. Having no such thing in Overwatch means that you will feel powerless, like you're not progressing at all. The fact that you depend so much on your team doesn't help that feeling neither.

    In short,if like me you've REALLY liked TF2 and its diversity, you will be left disappointed in Overwatch. If you were looking at TF2 for a competitive experience, you found your game.

    Core game design itself has a fundamental flaw though, and it makes everything so much worse; HEALING. Healing is the most important thing in this game, if you have a bad healer, a single bad healer in 2-2-2 comp, you're dead. But same does not apply to other classes, you can live with a bad DPS or a tank because they won't die if you have semi-competent healers. And... NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY HEALERS!! Most people who play them are forced to play them and it's a gamble; will they tilt because they get bored of holding down left click? There are almost none healer mains, and it's not their fault, the game is designed around healers and no one wants to play them.

    Not only this but all heroes are designed in such a way that they require a healer to function properly. A Doomfist without a half-decent healer will feed if he/she is not playing against 3 tiers lower players. Same goes for almost all heroes that are not healers.

    And you know what, I'm a healer main myself, and I was forced into this situation because I wanted to climb. When I realized that healing is the single most important thing in OW, I mained healers and climbed from Silver to Plat. That's how bad it is.

    The gamemodes are almost a copy of TF2 involving either moving a payload or attack/defense control points. The way play these modes is through quick play, the weekly brawl, vs bots, or competitive(I will get to later). The game as of July 24th has 22 characters with there own ability's. Most of them are fairly generic like a sniper(widowmaker), a engineer(torbjorn), a scout(tracer), a soldier(Pharah), a medic(Mercy), and a demoman(junkrat), but the still differ themselves enough from there TF2 counterparts. The other characters though very one dimensional are fairly unique and offer a wide variety of gameplay styles. Each character typically only has 1 gun, 1-2 abilities, and a special. The guns control fairly well except they lack any recoil and really have a low skill ceiling to use most of them. Most of the abilities are cool like creating a ice wall or providing armor to teammates. The problem stems from the specials. Some of the specials are nothing much but the others are downright ridiculous. Here is where competitive falters, the specials not only are OP and unbalanced but take little to no skill to pull off. Wallhacks, aimbots, Invincibility all sound like hacks but are REAL specials for some of the overwatch characters. That's not competitive nor fun to play with or against. To add to that there are broken hitboxes for most character and weapons making any chance to be competitive pushed to the side. Also you have to be level 25 to unlock competitive which takes far too long to achieve. The game even in casual is ruined by these "Specials" due to there limited skill to use and overall cheapness when you get killed by one. The soundtrack of this game however is great and fits the heroic mood of the game very well. I always enjoy booting up the game and hearing the music as I prepare for battle against...overwatch? Yea, the lore is fairly week as well as the gameplay doesn't correlate at all with the lore made for the game making you wonder what the point of having all those cool short films to advertise the game. Luckily that does little to affect the game play. The last thing is the in game cosmetics which do look cool and don't affect the gameplay and it is fun to be rewarded with when you play more. The loot boxes are overpriced if you want to buy them but there really is no point. In conclusion Overwatch does have some great things going for it but as a competitive shooter it falls flat. Hopefully it goes for a more casual approach like TF2 did or a competitive approach instead of this frustrating middle ground of a unbalanced annoying mess. There is still going to be more updates so I'm eager to see what Blizzard does with the game in the future. 7.4/10 -Infinite    … Expand

    1- some characters are so easy to play.

    its super annoying that you know you just got killed by some random clicks. for example, there is a bomber and all he does is randomly spamming infinite granades across the map. no aim, no well spend ammo and fairly low cooldown of reloading. this isnt only character does this kind of things, many characters, in fact, requires no real thought or skill to play good. blizzard apperantly wanted a easy to play, casual game but i think they did way too over the top. if you can walk and click you will for sure, get kills eventually. its that much easy.

    2- it too dependant of teamplay, and game doesnt help you to have a good multiplayer experience.

    there are roles such as like tank, support etc etc, and people can pick anything they want and actually this is a huge problem. why? if you value teamplay like me, half of your games will be about filling empty role spots in team. noone picked tank? you know you should pick a tank.. irresponsible players wont be sharing duty and you will sacrifice your fun more times then you can guess.

    also, you can encounter players who insist on playing characters they are bad at till forever, and its annoying that you know there is nothing preventing it. you see this guy, picking hanzo and playing terrible with, but still insisting on playing it for hours and hours, game doesnt provide any options for you to handle this frustration... it just lets it... because well blizzard wants it casual as much as it can be.

    3- some hitboxes for abilities, or attacks, are ridicilously large... its too casual. at first i had great respect for some hanzo & roadhog players but later i found it was just too easy to make headshots with those caharaters. hanzo, the character which is supposedly a sniper, hits your head just by aiming your upper body.

    4-it doesnt matter if you spend your coins carefully on legendary skins and content alike.

    they sometimes give free and absoloutly super looking skins that makes your legendary skin look thrash compared to it. for my genji, i purchased most expensive skin but blizzard recently decided to give away a brand new better skin for everyone who plays a few games in Heroes of the Storm. why did i even tried to collect all that gold then???

    casualness of blizzard destroys a brliiant potential... if you are similar to other recent blizzard games its a common thing now. daiblo 3 suffered same things.

Sometimes your teammates don't even pick healers and you feel the need to pick a healer and your team ends up with 5 McCrees and 1 Mercy. Also the balance is good but there are a few OP characters IMO: Bastion, McCree, Lucio, Roadhog, and D.Va. As long as you have a good team though you can beat your enemies easily (Unless you're up against 6 McCrees, then your screwed). The MAIN problem though is the price. This game cost $40 dollars on PC and $60 on console. Not to mention there are microtransactions. The microtransactions are just for loot boxes which can give you character skins, voice lines, emotes, player icons. Also there are Overwatch points which you can ONLY GET FROM LOOT BOXES! You should be able to get these points from playing the game. You can get loot boxes from leveling up but that takes a long time and most of the time you just get useless sprays and crap. Hopefully Blizzard makes a better progression system because if you could purchase JUST overwatch points with real money I might actually spend money to get Explorer Winston. Also $60 and even $40 is just too much for what your getting. Its fun but I really think it should be $30 at most. The end.… Expand

    In a nutshell, Overwatch is a competitive team-based shooter that presents you with very compelling and addicting gameplay at first, but then eventually, sooner or later, wears thin and becomes more of a game that's not for fun but to feed your unceasing addition to it. (Or because you fall for the trap of "I want to climb higher in competitive mode and I refuse to give up.")

    Over my experience, Overwatch's potentially rewarding gameplay is weighed down by the consequence of a perpetually increasing casual player population. That is, the number of players who become complacent or do not have the drive to win is continually increasing, and that has resulted in matches of skill being often converted into matches of "flip a coin to see which team has the most committed players."

    Unlike other competitive games where you could potentially win a match all on your own through a sheer display of skill (aka carrying), Overwatch's carry potential is more or less entrusted to your damage dealers (aka DPS) while the other roles, tanking (defending the team) and healing, simply serve to provide them with a window to do so or to buy time during a defensive play.

    As a DPS, you are always stressed with underperforming being the one who makes or breaks the match, and as a tank or healer, you are always stressed with having to do a lot of work for little reward. Since I was focused on healing, I got used to this feeling of "backseat gaming" where I could only do my part and then simply watch the rest of the match unfold. (Naturally, as a healer, you don't have as much of an influence on a match's outcome as the DPS does.)

    Due to the vast population and variety of players, there is no guarantee whether you will get a team of five others who are actually playing at or above their rank. Moreover, there is always the possibility that a teammate might not have the will to win, is simply killing time, or in the worst case scenario, is joking around and not caring about the match. These frustrations add up over time, and everyone has a breaking point to how much they are willing to tolerate.

    What ultimately led to my retirement after investing so much time and effort is primarily enjoyment. Overwatch was fun in the past when I could play with like-minded friends of similar or better skill. They would do their part and I would do mine, and there would be incredible synergy, which led to enthralling gameplay. However, as more and more of them began to quit (for similar reasons), having to team up with random players (who tend to be uncooperative) has made it difficult for me to build an emotional attachment and interest in those matches.

    Additionally, I have grown tired of repeating the same actions over and over. It is akin to listening to your favourite songs repeatedly over the years. Perhaps you can enjoy them for one, two, three, maybe even four years. But eventually, you will reach a point where those songs will grow stale and lose its shine, and you will desire something fresh. That was my deciding factor for retiring from Overwatch: It was no longer a new experience.

    Overall, Overwatch deserves an 8, simply because it does offer new blood to the competitive gaming spectrum, but only for a certain amount of time. It is relatively enjoyable up until you inevitably grow bored of it. To maximize your enjoyment and minimize your frustration, I highly suggest only playing with friends and not playing competitive on your own.    … Expand

    Вот такая вот чудесная игра, в которую в некоторые моменты просто не получается играть. Очередь 9000 человек, когда доходит до 1000 - выкидывает и все заново. Более отвратительного отношения к игрокам я не могу припомнить вообще ни в одной игре.

Also its becoming a skill-less game so yay for blizzard for catering to the casuals. Seriously who actually thinks this is a good game anymore?… Expand

    After 4 years game is nothing more then leaver paradise where players care more about cosmetics and lootboxes then playing actual game, and if that is not enough the rampant obsession to destroy every hero for the sake of balance you are not fooling me.

    The most poorly balanced game I've ever played. Some characters need to be completely reworked. Some are very weak by comparison, and one character, Bastion, stands out like a sore thumb.

He single-handedly tears through teams by himself more or less, and has far too much health and armor. He has no real counter, and you need very good teamwork to take him down, as opposed to no strategy/skill character. Quick Play is horribly unbalanced with teams, and Competitive is toxic as hell. Loot boxes are a punch in the balls, offering no consistent credit system, forcing you to buy them if you want anything specific (basically gambling). Game has a lot of potential, but is ruined by blind devs. Don't buy this trash.… Expand

REEEEEEEEEEEEE!" who gets further butthurt when you tell them to get good or aim better, because after all it could *never* be their fault. It's not like I've regularly seen a single player carry a whole team before, they just want to be carried and are angry their team wont pick up the welfare tab. In many ways the frustratio and rage witnessed in this game are similar to road rage, when someone who is rather controlling but it is either their ability or circumstance is limited to control, they are reminded they do not have control and interpret this an attack on their core world view. I won't claim to know why they're this way, I have some ideas, but in the end it's pretty funny to listen to.

    I liken the game as a mix between Unreal Tournament and TF2. It's surprisingly fun but I don't think I could ever view it as an "esport" or whatever that is. That's not to say I'm a casual, it's just that winning is an effect, a side effect, and getting fixated on winning can distract you from the gameplay that results in a win. If you're unsatisfied with how you're playing just try better, if you're satisfied with how you're playing you're probably having fun. The trick is to try and find fun in coming up with ways to resolve unsatisfactory plays so you dont just sit in a salt pit. As to why I don't really view it as a "competitive" game (as to how this label to affixed onto games when its the players that make a game competitive) is because it's still a bit too random for my taste. I like my environments a bit more controlled than this but it has a nice balance between random elements and controlled environment. I suppose a fully coordinated team could eliminate the random elements completely but as a solo player, that's my perspective.    … Expand

    When Overwatch came out, I would have rated this a 10/10, but after realizing how repetitive it ends up becoming, even before hitting the 100 hours mark, I have to give it a 9/10. It's a great game that receives few major updates that holds the game back. Well worth the asking price.

Arcade & quick play are fun and don't make you want to throw your PC out the window, the modes are consistently changed making everything fun.

    Overwatch WAS great - for a while, it was the best multiplayer game out there, but sadly, Blizzard ruined it. New charecters that are added feel stale, role queue makes the game unfun to play casually, and Overwatch is getting a sequel that adds little to no content. This is still a fun game, but in its current state, I can't reccomend anybody to buy it.

    For the kind of game it is, it's good. But only with friends. If you have a good-sized friend group by all means you should all get it and play together, but the community is pretty toxic and playing alone isn't very fun

    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.
