    this game could be funny, but its completely emptiness, without single player and its a copy of TF2.
    EA and Capcom do this and the people started to hate them, but Blizzard do the same and people don´t mind.

    I've never left a review for a game on Metacritic, but I felt like I just had to say something about Overwatch.

    First off, this game has so much potential, but in it's current state it's totally not worth it. If this were a Free-To-Play game, I would say "Wow," great job, but $60 for what is essentially a game with a few maps and no story is absolutely ridiculous. Let me break it down    I've never left a review for a game on Metacritic, but I felt like I just had to say something about Overwatch.

    First off, this game has so much potential, but in it's current state it's totally not worth it. If this were a Free-To-Play game, I would say "Wow," great job, but $60 for what is essentially a game with a few maps and no story is absolutely ridiculous. Let me break it down with you starting with the pros.

    Pros:
    1. Fluid Gameplay
    2. Fun Characters
    3. Action Packed, Small Maps
    4. Brings back memories of Q3 Arean

    Cons
    1. I'm not sure how the PC version plays but in the PS4 version you have only 2 game modes. "Quick Match" or "Arcade".... WTF. You can't select maps, you can't select playstyle... And if you select "Quick Match" it's pretty much always the same "escort the cargo" mission or "Hold point A for X amount of time."

    Sorry, but that gets old, and if you don't like the randomly chosen map you are SOL

    2. No character progression. Sure, you level up but it doesn't mean anything. You don't get stronger, you don't get new weapons. All you get with a level is a "loot box" that will give you meaningless stuff like skins. So you never feel like you're working towards something ever. A Victory or Defeat means nothing.

    3. Annoying load times... Often you will have a quick match that ends in 10 minutes, then you're stuck watching the Play of the Game, voting for the MVP, then waiting for the match to load, then waiting for the countdown for the match to start. Sometimes it feels like you are WAITING FOR THE GAME TO START more than you're actually playing the **** game.

    4. NO FFA mode, No FFA Teams mode.

    5. Some characters are clearly unbalanced. Any noob can use the character who transforms into a turret/tank and just camp around a corner and wait for someone to round it and maul them down. The autoaiming characters almost guarantee you 3-5 kills. The precision characters are soooo bad on the PS4 version because the controller makes it too hard to aim them. They aren't bad, but it's clealry unbalanced.

    6. Play of the game is meaningless. It's always just whoever killed a few people in a short of amount of time... Usually through a cheap ult. MVP is also meaningless as most people just vote for somebody random, even if it's someone on the losing team

    7. No Single Player Mode, No offline play

    Anyway, I enjoyed Overwatch for a couple days and it's already played out. You quickly realize that you're fighting for nothing and there is no where to progress to. It feels so impersonal and you never feel connected to your team or the other team despite it being a team based game.

    This should have been a F2P game with skins and "loot box" BS as purchasable items. There is no content here to justify a $60 price tag, and if I could take the game back now, I would.    … Expand

    Nice graphics! I like the anime inspired characters.
    But:
    No single player; no campaign; no story; no progression; no goals; always online.

I had not heard of this game before buying it, I didn't play the beta or see any gameplay of it. Going in blind, I was pleased to see a team fortress style shooter for my ps4. A few hours later however, after seeing some flaws, like the tracking speed of the engineers turret, and the damage of some non-ultimate abilties, I started to see why this game is broken from the start.

    This is a blizzard game, and if you have played world of war craft for any period of time, you would know that balance is a big issue in pvp, it always has been and always will be. How is blizzard supposed to keep 21 diverse characters balanced when they can't keep 8 classes balanced?

    This game with basically 1 game mode costs $60 on consoles. I got bored fast. Team fortress on the other hand was $20 on release, had many game modes and a modding community.

    If you have read this far and are still wondering if you should buy this game, just ask yourself "is an unfinished game with very little content worth $60 to me?"
    If you think unfinished games are worth your money, then by all means, you might get an hour or two of fun out of this, otherwise, just pass.

    And lastly, to the people who gave this a 9 or 10, please come back and fix your review in a couple of weeks when you get bored and stop playing it. It would really help put an end to these companies selling half finished products.    … Expand

    Team Fortress 2 launched bundled with the content rich Orange Box and it was an amazing deal. Why Blizzard didn't follow TF2's launch example is disappointing. Overwatch should've launched at a $29.99 or $19.99 price for the amount of game content on offer. Overwatch could've even gone free to play as TF2 did.

    There is a fun game here, but unless Blizzard adds in some form of single player or actual story in multiplayer? I recommend waiting for a big price drop or used copy. The game already dropped $10 on Amazon, so, in a month or so it will drop even more.

    I expect more from Blizzard...    … Expand

But it just feels empty, repetitive, and at the end of the day boring. The community surrounding the game doesn't help much, with people generally not working as a team. This is really unfortunate given Overwatch's team focus. In the end, I put it on the shelf, thinking "maybe I'll give it a try again someday down the road." I haven't played it since. It has no lasting appeal. The aesthetic wasn't for me, but hey that's subjective. This game was a waste of money, and I'm disappointed in myself for buying it. Maybe children could enjoy this game, but the sexuality of it kind of stops that to. Teens. That i think is probably the perfect audience for this game. Over all, a very disappointing purchase. I put the game in a box somewhere so that no one will know my shame.… Expand

    I don't really get it's huge hype. It may be enjoyable for multiplayer fans, but it's not innovative and special at all. Just the next multiplayer FPS that doesn't offer much. I'm not a fan of it's visuals as well. I wish it had a singleplayer campaign that could higher the rating.

    We have teams composed of champions, and they're far from being ballanced.

From my point of view competitive multiplayer games should resemble chess - at the beggining each player should have exactly same chance of winning. Thats not the case here. Lets take maps for instance - I played some road map (route some numbers). This was just plain dumb, when I was defending convoy my whole team had hard time to simply leave the base, we were crushed, two matches later when I was attacking the convoy we just pummeled enemies.
    And it's no accident, its not the first blizzard game that suffers ballance issues.

    Besides, the graphics are just average, amount of content is nice, but beside the ballance issue game suffers from lack of true goal. When I was on my way to work after playing another 20 or so matches I was wondering why Id waste so much time on something so unrewarding. There is no cool story Youl uncover. No sense of acomplishement after winning a match, because You wonder why You had won - because of Your skill or enemies just had worst champs/unfavorable map goal - and thats the nail in the coffin for Overwatch.

    Maybe new Quake will bring back greatness to fps multiplayer games, dont bother with this Blizzard turd.    … Expand

Having put in a good chunk of hours I'm starting to think this was a flash in the pan, and the extent to which people no-longer post about it would seem to confirm that.

    Overwatch is a class based ("Hero") shooter a-la Team Fortress 2, colorful graphics, large and varied roster, allegedly a dozen or so maps, all good. The problem is there is basically 1 game mode "go stand by the thing" with an implied "don't let the enemy stand by the thing." The maps are functionally identical and so easy to navigate you get the impression that they have been committee designed so as to meet some sort of balance criteria that makes them all equally boring.

    The matchmaking is skittish and will frequently drop you on the "defeat" screen and then kick you from the game. It would appear that a single person leaving the match can be enough for the system to decide it's no longer worth bothering. Equally frustrating is the claim that you'll be playing with people of a similar skill level doesn't seem to pan out, matches are almost always a complete pushover for one team or the other. The best matches are of course when it goes right down to the wire, with the "overtime" mechanic apparently intended to encourage this sort of play, however as I said this seldom happens. Matches can be over in as little as 2 minutes, combine this with the excessive pre-match wait and the twitchy matchmaking and you've got a situation where you can end up spending most of your time twiddling your thumbs.

    I'd like to suggest there are also some balance issues, especially if the enemy team is running 2 or more of the same hero, however any complaint will immediately be met by the community with "hero X is a hard counter to Y" lest blizzard ever be exposed to criticism of their game mechanics.

    All in all considering how colorful and varied it is the whole experience ends up bland and repetitive and I've got a serious case of buyers remorse over paying full whack for what feels like a F2P game.    … Expand

    Remember Evolve?! This game is about the same. Cool concept of a hardcore team focused game (MLG) but if you lack a decent team it's just frustrating. Not bad but just not fun. If they do patch/fix the matchmaking then maybe.
    On the plus side all new heroes and maps will (should) be free - in the end contrary to Evolve.

I put in hours on this game, and I mean hours. Whenever I get a new game, I play only that until I'm tired of it. That's exactly what I did. I got tired of the game pretty quickly because of one thing: 2 modes and that it. I will be technical as it is only 2 modes but if you expand it there's 7 modes if you really want to lie about something:

    1) Practice mode: basics
    2) practice mode: training
    3) PvP: KotH (king of the hill)
    4) PvP: escort
    5) PvE: KotH
    6) PvE: escort
    7) weeklies

    ^all of these is basically 2 modes since practice mode doesn't count and the pvp and pve does the same modes.

    Now, I expected a lot from a triple A title, especially since I'm a multiplayer type of person. I played CoD, BF, Halo, Destiny, Borderlands, Gears of War, and Division. Each of those titles I had something to complain about since I'm skeptic on what "should" be in the game besides what in their future dlc. At this very moment though that I'm writing this review, this game is not worth the price on the label. This game should either be half the retail or even free.

    You're thinking, I'm probably being hard the game. Well, let's compare to what you're missing in a triple A title that all other titles have done: Campaign, horde mode, and more than 2 modes of multiplayer. Is that so hard? You are paying $60 for literally a fraction of that. One would argue that you're getting all these characters. CoD4 multiplayer split screen local does somewhat a similar job. It has classes you can't create yourself that everyone can only play. You are playing an updated version of CoD4 local with only 2 modes: HQ and Safeguard. You get nothing else. If CoD did that to us, we'd expect the game to be beta or free. Everyone that's a fan of blizzard gaming has turned a blindeye to this since they are playing their favorite characters from league of legends.

    I actually wish this game came with more; in fact, I hope the DLCs come free. Where this game stands from gaming review seems paid off and fake. Although I seem negative about this review there's a reason why I'm giving this game a 4 out of 10.

    Campaign: 0/10
    PvE: 4/10 (terrible AI)
    PvP: 9/10

    ^if you average this it become 4.3/10. You can have an incredible multiplayer, but if that's all you have I'd even be more specific as the multiplayer isn't that amazing since there's only 2 modes. I'm being lenient when giving multiplayer pvp a 9/10. It should technically be 5/10 since there's no tdm or any other modes.    … Expand

    It plays fine, and the characters are taken from every video game trope, making sure every taste is represented, but the minute to minute game play never grabbed me, and without a meta game to drive progression, i saw no reason to play again after my initial session.

    Overwatch is for a particular type of gamer. A niche that has been filled in the past with less flashy but just as competent titles like Team Fortress 2. If you like that specific experience, you will like Overwatch. Otherwise, its merely a distraction in a year of many more interesting games in all genres.

Do yourself a favor and get this one out of the red box before you buy it. If you're really in need of a shooter, Star Wars Battlefront is down to 40$ and blows this game out of the water as far as content and play control goes. Having 25 characters is great, but none of them are really fun to use. I for the life of me cannot understand what all the hype about this game is for, it's very below average.… Expand

    I liked this game, but the high number of disconnects while playing is just unacceptable, especially since it costs as much as any triple A title. alot of my friends have been getting disconnected as well. This can seriously ruin the mood when we all log in for a night of online gaming.

    Aside from that this game has no depth. Limited modes eventually grow boring.

    Aside from that this game has no depth. Limited modes eventually grow boring. Yes there are alot of characters to choose from, and that provides for alot of different match ups. However, it just starts to feel after a few hours that every match is the same. This wouldnt be too much of a problem if the game was priced reasonably. But for being charged around 60 USD for a game that has not an iota of single player, or a coop campaign mode, the absurd amount of mid match disconnects, and the lack of real depth in game play (unless playing at competitive level) makes it hard to give this a score of anything above average.

    Was going to give this game a 6-7, but mid match disconnects is just sloppy. Hopefully they will fix this in an upcoming patch.    … Expand

    Simply the best multiplayer shooter to come along in years. Pure, joyous fun. [July 2016, p.74]

    That the game hangs together visually is remarkable; that it should cohere so well in design terms, unfathomable. [Aug 2016, p.104]

    Blizzard's addictive and tactical team-based shooter is essential - the character-switching mechanic sweetens the genre. Group up with friends to avoid clueless carnage and enjoy the true game. [Aug 2016, p.82]
