    This game is completely dependent on team composition, and if 1 player does not abide by proper team composition it can result in a guaranteed loss. Pass on this one.

    I came from Team Fortress 2, expecting the exact same fun as in the game, and I certainly found it. Overwatch has three main roles, Tanks, who protect their teammates, Damage, the only role 70% of the player-base uses and Support, who I mainly play.

Overwatch has three main roles, Tanks, who protect their teammates, Damage, the only role 70% of the player-base uses and Support, who I mainly play. I just want to say that playing as every hero feels unique, and extremely fun. But one of the core flaws I found with the game was how much the tanks slowed down the combat. If the other team has three tanks, it's absolutely painstaking to break through their defenses sometimes. Its combat is fast, which I really enjoy about it. Then, there are the Ultimate abilities, and most of them are pretty good. But I find that the ultimate economy destroys the main part of Overwatch, which is being able to switch quickly to a different hero to counter another one, as you lose all your Ult. Charge, and so are at a massive disadvantage. I heard a statement that I really related to, 'When it's fun, it's extremely fun. When it's bad, it is terrible.' I play this game only casually, and I hate having to have a coin flip if I'll like the match or not. I only really have fun with Control and Payload maps, which are much faster and give every Hero a decent opportunity. But you can't choose what maps you want to play, resulting in another coin-flip. Then there are the heroes, and while I think it's slightly important to make each one of your characters have distinct personalities, Blizzard took it to the next level. For a game with no campaign, it certainly tries to make you love every character, and get invested in the incredibly stereotypical Sci-Fi story. The game looks very nice, I won't lie about that at all, everything well-textured and very smooth. The soundtrack is pretty enjoyable, every map having its own special style of music, but nothing, except the excellent, uplifting main theme, really sticks out as amazing. So overall, as a world, Overwatch is pretty solid. But this is a game, and when the gameplay isn't all too enjoyable, the world means nothing. I don't hate Overwatch, in fact, I think it's pretty likeable, but it has key flaws like the Ult. economy, broken hero launches, the reliance on people switching, even though no-one wants to and the lack of a campaign. Buy only during a sale, honestly.… Expand

Every character is unique in personality and design and very easy to differentiate them in game. The game is gorgeous and has a really cool unique style. The in game lore is very interesting and is shown through voice lines, character interactions, cosmetics, and Easter eggs in the maps. This is aided by great customization options such as skins and sprays that add more flare to the game. The maps are all very simple but effective in design. They're big and offer many different ways to approach your enemy's. You can really see the effort that went in to make sure each character is viable on every map. The objectives also offer intense and engaging moments to the match and every game something new seems to happen. Most of the heroes are super fun to play and are very unique and diverse. They're fun and mostly balanced with a few exceptions. Also some heroes just aren't as fun to play as others. Some of the main problems i have with this game is that the progression is very slow and the loot box system feels kinda cheap with how long it takes to obtain them. The game released pretty bare bones but after the first couple months the game modes, new heroes, maps, and other content helped improve the game. Overall a really great game and one of the best shooters in a long time with a few problems but overall very good.… Expand

    Overwatch is an online team based shooter that takes from a lot of other games, including MOBAS, arena shooters, and of course, other hero based games.

    When it comes to gameplay, you have a choice between multiple characters, each one unique in its own way, and each one with unique abilities to use in order to turn the games in your favor. “Ultimates”, the special moves your characters can use, show the very simplistic and casual nature of the game. Most of the games can be won by the use of an ultimate at just the right time, rendering any amount of skill involved in the minutes prior, at times, completely pointless. Despite this, the casual nature of the game can make it appealing to all kinds of people, especially those who are not well experienced with proper shooting games, or would just like something easy to pick up and play to wind up and relax.

    Overwatch issues do not lie in the fact that it tries hard to be something it was never meant to be - that is, a competitive multiplayer experience. Rather, they lie in both its community and its developers.
    With such dedicated following of course, it’s crazy to think that toxicity wouldn’t be a thing. The online experience, in fact, can be quite disruptive and disappointing, more so here than in other similiar games, forcing some players to turn off voice communication entirely. Given the “social” nature of the game, this is a big problem. Not much effort has been made from the developers to fight this problem, and on top of that -gameplay wise- the balance between characters gets changed and modified ever so frequently in major and gameplay altering ways, leaving people who haven’t played in a while extremely confused once they finally come back. Character balancing is something that i’m sure most people would love to see more often in their multiplayer shooters, if it wasn’t for the fact that Overwatch developers seem to be ignoring crucial balancing needs and instead going their own way with changes that are, most of the time, unneeded and unnecessary.

    The in game lootbox based economy allows you to unlock customization options for each character, either by leveling up and playing the arcade modes, or by getting them with real money. Each customization can be extremely pricey, depending on whether it is a a voice line or an appearance altering skin. Getting to the point where you’re able to finally unlock the item you want can take weeks and weeks, and it doesn’t help that some of the rare skins are locked behind seasonal events, which only grant you the chance to get the desired item for a short period of time, before getting locked again for another year. Luckily, gameplay isn’t affected in any way by skins and such, making players, technically, all at the same level of skill. This matchmaking system, unfortunately, doesn’t seem to work very well. It’s common to see way more experienced players getting matched up against newcomers and viceversa. This issue is amplified by the lessening of the overall player count seen in recent months, and its something newcomers will have to deal with whether they like it or not.

    To sum it up, Overwatch is a simplistic and colorful shooter, with an appeal that will surely get the attention of the more casual crowd. It’s easy to fall in love with this game, but even easier to see its very apparent shortcomings. If you can get past the clueless developers and the atrocious community, you’ll find a very casual but enjoyable game, which becomes even better when played with friends.    … Expand

    Now lets talk about the player base 99% of them are idiots or they're in the age group of 6-12 and don't understand strategy. Let me give you a situation I'll be a tank with my whole team with me I initiate the fight low and behold my whole team ran off to hide somewhere with there thumbs up there asses not even close to the point that we need to capture or escort. Or we get people who insta-lock Widowmaker expecting to be a game changer and they completely suck as in 0 kills and 0 assists and 40 deaths.

    Now another issue they have is ranked and I shouldn't get to much into this but lets say last season you placed gold. The next season comes around you do your placements and win every single one guess what rank you are oh right your gold! Cause there MMR system for placements are so abysmal that it actually ruins the game the only ranking system that does this. In any game I've ever played.

    Then, there's everything else...

    Straight to the point, outside of the online mode, there is very little content and almost non-existent single player content. I love single player games and are my favorite games to play. Overwatch has plenty of material to have single player content but nope. Instead it's almost exclusively online and for someone like me, it has very limited replay-ability. If this game had something akin to a single player campaign, I would cut it some slack. Also, no local multiplayer mode. Whoever thought that a game like Overwatch should not have a local multiplayer should be demoted. This game would have been much better if it had local multiplayer.

    Overwatch's focus on strictly online really hurts the game by the lot. What if you don't have PS+, Xbox Live Gold or a good internet connection? And if you do get into a game, the online community isn't very helpful or encouraging as it has been quite notorious how bad or even cruel they can be. The game had to make up for people who do not want to play the game online but it doesn't and for people who are interested in the lore, they have to leave the game to get it's tidbits of lore. Leaving the game to understand it's lore and enrich it's universe is not good design.

    This is a really disappointing game and it baffles me how people can consider this to be 2016's Game of the Year or even one of the best games of all time when there are much better games out there deserving of both those titles.    … Expand

    They want to copy tf2 but can't make it a percentage of the fun as it.

    In the world of first-person-shooters, it’s very difficult to find original titles with individuality, variety, and overall creative ideas. But when the game studio, Blizzard, took it upon themselves to create their own FPS title, they manufactured a gaming Giant. While Overwatch is very similar to other games in the class-based FPS genre such as Valve’s Team Fortress 2 and Gearbox’sIn the world of first-person-shooters, it’s very difficult to find original titles with individuality, variety, and overall creative ideas. But when the game studio, Blizzard, took it upon themselves to create their own FPS title, they manufactured a gaming Giant. While Overwatch is very similar to other games in the class-based FPS genre such as Valve’s Team Fortress 2 and Gearbox’s Battleborn, It manages to stand out in its own way with its creativity, visuals, and overall addictive nature. Sadly, while the game doesn't have an actual campaign, Overwatch’s story is explained in the very beginning when the player first boots up the game. As told by the intelligent ape scientist, Winston, in the distant future, mankind became careless, and the machines they built rose up and raged war against them for dominance. So in a last attempt of desperation to reestablish peace, Overwatch was assembled. An elite team made up of the best soldiers, fighters, minds, and prodigies in the world. The attempt was a success. Overwatch helped settle the war and establish world Peace. However, because of that, Overwatch was disbanded due to the fact that they weren't needed anymore. But after horrible tragedy kept occurring many years later, Winston contacts all of the Overwatch members to reunite and fight for what's right once again. In terms of the game’s visuals, Overwatch boasts an expansive, dazzling color palette with stunning three-dimensional graphics and resolution that really lends itself to the game's overall appeal. And the roster of playable heroes in Overwatch is probably the best part of the game. Never has there been a class-based FPS title with this much variety. Out of 25 characters with new ones added every year, and the four classes they fit into, no two characters play the same. For instance, Rinehart and Winston are both tanks but do the job differently. If your team needs lasting, straightforward protection then you clearly use Reinhart, but if your team needs to rush the enemy as quickly as possible while still needing protection, then the incredibly mobile Winston would be a better choice. And it's because all of the characters in Overwatch are unique and drastically different in play style and design that makes the game so much fun. 25 ways to play, and you can play anything from an African powerhouse with a giant fist to a robotic munk with levitating orbs around his neck. And they all have varying damage, health, skill ceilings, mobility and situational effectiveness. Combine that with the fact that each character has as powerful move that they can charge up to possibly turn the tides of a game and you have a recipe for a good time. Overwatch gameplay is in general, solid. 6 vs 6 matches are the norm and they’re most of the time fast-paced and chaotic, which makes them lots of fun but sometimes infuriating if the players aren't skilled enough to handle the game’s extremely high skill ceiling. Due to Overwatch being an online- team based game, each of the 25 heroes have to be put in carefully constructed teams that compliment each other's abilities if the players want to win. Luckily, Blizzard nailed online capabilities in Overwatch. Players can team up with their friends in parties and even befriend, communicate with, and start other parties with random players online! Which allows communication between team members which in turn allows for strategy to be discussed amongst a team. Even though there’s only 15 maps in Overwatch as of now which is especially weak compared to TF2’s monster selection of over 100, they are very expensive and have a lot of possible routes and paths, and it's a lot of fun to discover new secret areas to abuse the game. And with there being a handful of modes to the maps such as capturing a point, pushing a payload or doing both, there’s a lot of possibilities to each scenario. Overwatch truly delivers in side content, there is an always expanding plethora of modes to play outside of the normal quick play and competitive, and the player can even make their own modes in the custom game mode, and post them online with the literally millions of other modes made by other players. Another area where Overwatch shines though, is the dozens and dozens and dozens of collectibles that each character can have. All of which are interchangeable to each hero and aesthetically makes the player’s character their own. And each event that comes out over the years adds even more voice lines, sprays, highlight intros, emotes and costumes for all the characters. In the end, Overwatch nails just about every aspect that needs to be addressed for an FPS to be good, and it excels in those aspects to the endth degree to create a must-play experience for any kind of gamer. It’s well worth it's 2016 Game-of-the-year title. 10/10, Masterpiece.… Expand

    Un titulo multijugador competitivo, personajes con una carisma como blizzard lo ha hecho siempre, en su lanzamiento 2016, muy pobre de contenido, modos de juego, un modo competitivo clasificatorio sin funcionar practicamente roto, con un precio de $60.00, cometi el error de comprarlo de salida, me deje guiar por la prensa, vaya decepcion.

    El juego ha recibido soporte por parte de Blizzard durante estos dos años, muy agradecido con ellos, aun con su soporte, para jugar con amigos y pasar el rato muy recomendable, si tu eres de las personas que te aburre lo competitivo, o que simplemente pasas de jugar online, no es para ti, pero si eres muy competitivo online, y le dedicaras horas, muy recomendable por menos de $30.00.
    LO QUE ES IMPERDONABLE ES QUE ESTO HAYA SIDO EL GOTY DE 2016 ;(
    Para mi es un buen juego, personajes correctamente desarrollados, bueno un e-sport, pero no para ser GOTY.
    Ojala y Blizzard sigan dando soporte al titulo, yo he dedicado mas de 300 horas de juego, y me gusta bastante, pero pasada las 3 horas, comienza aburrir, como digo si eres full multiplayer, y te gusta competir, es para ti, de lo contrario no lo recomiendo.    … Expand

Have been added to the game,the developers love the community and keeps adding new content almost every day!!!!

    The story of Overwatch doesn't make any sense within the context of the game. Plus the game isn't the most densely packed game when it comes to content. But, it's loads of fun and it kept my attention for hours upon hours.

    Slick, gorgeous, and flush with tactical depth, Overwatch is the new gold standard for multiplayer shooters.

    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]
