Many comparisons have been drawn to Team Fortress, but it also harkens back to a time when I still played games like Quake II and Unreal Tournament with my college buddies. Yet Overwatch is so much deeper and well-polished. The backstory is interesting, the cast is an unparalleled multi-cultural mix of instantly lovable personalities, the visual design is sublime, and the online functionality is flawlessly fluid. I love the concept of leveling for cosmetic loot, incentives for backfilling quick matches is genius in that it keeps you engaged and progressing regardless of your team's skill or success, and the contextual awareness between the characters you control means you don't even have to talk with strangers if you'd prefer to keep the mic off. It's a lesson in community inclusion, in making even the weaker links feel like they're worth having on the team. Overwatch is multiplayer genius. I'm so glad I purchased it on a whim and got outside my single-player RPG comfort zone.… Expand

    I love this game as it is very welcoming to casual players like myself who just want a quick game of something that is heavily inspired by Team Fortress.

    There are few new ideas here, but they gave it the old Blizzard polish and it really worked. I haven't had an MP experience this fun in computer games before. They are also doing a great job with the updates.

    Classes are well balanced. Each character has strengths and weaknesses and there's a counter for everything. Its all down to your own skill and knowledge.

    Servers are smooth, I've not once experienced any sort of lag or glitches.

    Graphics are bright, crisp and detailed. The characters and environments are fun, cartoony and over exaggerated. It kind of reminds me of the awesome TF2. There is no play to win nonsense and according to Blizzard all maps etc in future DLC are free.

    Well worth your money if you want a little different, crazy, addictive new MP.    … Expand

All game-modes are objective-based, meaning that you must work as a team to defeat your opposition. Granted there is no campaign, but in a game like this it is not necessary whatsoever, there are animated shorts found online that give various characters there own backstory which add a nice touch to this sort of game. The gameplay is nice and smooth, with a stable frame-rate and feels extremely satisfying, Right now the summary of the game is out the way, I would like to turn to those who complain about this game and find loopholes in their complaints. First of all, yes it's online only, but this type of gameplay has already provided me and my friends with hundreds of hours of entertainment, not every game needs a campaign. Secondly, to the people who say this game should be free, future content for this game is free, granted not loot boxes as they're merely cosmetic choices, but anything to enhance gameplay is completely free of charge, Blizzard have stated this themselves, you're basically paying for all this dlc ahead of time, all of these purchases have been funded towards the future content, and so far, from Ana and Eichenwalde, they have delivered, with plenty more to come. Thirdly, to the people saying this game has only gained popularity through Blizzard's prestige is just straight hating the company and game imo. Honestly? I only played one Blizzard game before Overwatch, and that was World of Warcraft, and I didn't even like that game, hell, when I first heard of Overwatch I honestly brushed it aside and was more interested in Battleborn, oh how the tides have turned, and I can vouch there are more people like me who came along with next to information and have enjoyed this game, especially my friends. Granted, this game is not perfect, but damn it's definitely one the best FPS games I've played in my lifetime.… Expand

    Highly polished and fun, but its not worth the money. After about 10 hours, you've seen everything intresting and you just want a refund. I would recommend Overwatch to anyone with lots of money and spare time, otherwise you're better off playing TF2 or PVZGW.

The game play is so addicting and feel way more refreshing than other FPSs. If you managed to overcome the fact that its MP only, being over priced on consoles and the lack of maps and modes , then you should give it a try. Its not "MINDLESS" shooter, it requires team work in order to secure victory. I would rate it 8, but since the game beg you to work with your team it did not really give many options to interact with the members of your team. (On consoles). Still this title is solid and i can assume that it will last in your library for 3 to 4 months at least.    … Expand

There is also a lot of customization in terms of controls, where you can remap every button on each individual character.
    The major reason why I can not rate this game much higher is for the fact that this is a dreadful port when compared to PC. No text chat, limited communication, and 2-3 minute wait times for games. You also can't choose map or gamemode. The other major downside is that there are major balancing issues console side, 2+ Torbjorns (the dwarf character) on console=instant loss. These issues are monumentally made worse by the fact that Blizzard doesn't patch the game often enough on console partially due to Sony's delays for patch roll-outs. Overall, I say to anybody who wants to pick up Overwatch, get the PC version at all costs.    … Expand

    Overwatch is a incredibly fun game. Having a great team-based system, this is a great game for those interested in pure gameplay. Taking a different approach from traditional shooters, this game focuses on gameplay and teamwork.

Having a great team-based system, this is a great game for those interested in pure gameplay. Taking a different approach from traditional shooters, this game focuses on gameplay and teamwork.

    The game has a cast of 22 heroes at the moment, with more coming for free in the form of patches (A incredibly generous move). Each one features a weapon, personality and a set of abilities unique to them, divided on four categories: Offense, Defense, Tank and Support.

    Offense heroes are focused on, guess what, offense. They're flexible, have a high damage output and are overall better on combat situations. On the other hand, defense characters focuse on defending the objective. Tank heroes have extremely high health - The biggest health pool in the entire game, from Roadhog, 600 HP, is on this. - and are the "sponges" of the team. Most of the Support characters can heal, either with AoE (Lúcio), directly (Mercy), give shields (Symmetra), shoot them to heal (Ana) or with temporary orbs (Zenyatta).

    As said before, each character has their own ability - For example, the ninja cyborg Genji can deflect shots, while the demolition maniac Junkrat can leave steel traps on the ground, while the Russian weightlifter Zarya can put barriers, which absorb damage to increase her damage output.

    All characters also have a unique "Ultimate Ability", which either provide the team with special things (such as Widowmaker's Recon Visor, Ana's Nano Boost, etc.), crowd control (Winston's Primal Rage, Roadhog's Whole Hog, etc.) or deal insane ammounts of damage (Pharah's Rocket Barrage, Junkrat's RIP-Tire, Reaper's Death Blossom, D.Va's Self-Destruct, etc.). These must charge before usage - They charge slowly, but dealing damage can speed up the charging.

    Every character is memorable and interesting - Overwatch did something similar to Team Fortress 2, one of the game's major's inspirations. The story is told outside of the game. Some characters had their own animations, (such as Hanzo and Genji having their own short titled "Dragons") while others had their own comics (Such as Torbjorn), but all of the histories can be found on the game's website - So characters such as Lucio, who has no animation or comic, have their stories told.

    Each character has memorable quotes, such as McCree's "It's High Noon", D.Va's "Nerf THIS!", Soldier 76's "I've got you in my sights!", Junkrat's "Fire in the hole!" and many more.

    Blizzard is constantly teasing us - Such as spreading simple hints like folders with names such as "Sombra", to making one frame codes that give out messages, and screens decoded to bar codes, further decoded into binary codes, further decoded into a QR code that gave out a message (Note: All of them point towards Sombra.)

    It's a very fun game, focusing more on Teamwork and team composition more than any game. However, it does have its flaws - There aren't many maps and no story mode. But since there's more characters to come, it's possible that once all of them have been revealed, a story mode will be made. Recent datamining has revealed quotes that indicate future maps.

    Every level you reach, you get a loot box. Inside, there are four items chosen randomly, such as outfits, sprays, voice lines, etc. There are also golden skins, which can be bought with 300 competitive points, which you gain 1 everytime you win a competitive match.

    So, in short: It's a fun game that literally screams "Pick up and play and have fun." While offering no rewards aside from the loot boxes and the fun, it's a memorable game. The characters are very interesting, and so are the maps.    … Expand

They did at the very worst an incredible job or producing a game that encourages positivity and teamwork.

    However, (of course there's a however) this game in it's current state is not worth 60 dollars IN MY OPINION. There just needs to be more modes and I get it, that will be released later. At the time of purchase however, this game is not complete. Also, this game is not for people who want to play a solo game and just relax. It requires teamwork...REQUIRES...teamwork. For the most part you can't run in and just carry your team like you can in some FPS games, so be prepared for that as well. Lastly, and possibly the most complicated issue to me, the unlocks. Although they do a good job of giving you rewards often enough to satiate you, you will quickly feel the desire to purchase loot boxes. The game has been designed that way. its debatable whether things like voice-lines or icons should be worth the kind of money they are asking for. It feels like the rewards system needs some improvements as well, although I will admit no game has ever made me care as much about skins as I do with this one, it still feels like we are all just desperately clinging to any bit of unique customization we can get.

    I think Overwatch is a high production quality great step in the right direction for gaming but I can't help but feel like we got a little swindled at release. With just a little more added to it this game is an 8 at the very least, maybe even higher.

However after investing several hours in this game I am still taken aback by how empty it truly is. The maps are gorgeous and offer multiple options to players to adapt and develop strategies however the game is limited to a stock few game modes that once dealt with a few times offer little variation. The character roster can not be faulted however beyond mastering the different play styles each, there is little to aim for witch each being unlocked from the start. I can see the draw of a well worked team game with each player playing to a strength and building a balanced team however far too often you are placed in a game lacking coordination and nothing is more frustrating than loosing an objective based game because everyone on your team is gunning for that solo killing streak.

    My other bug bear that again personally cuts the game re-playabilty in half is the lack of unloackables or character development. You unlock new character features, poses and sprays through earning 'loot boxes'. These boxes take no stock of your play style, character choices or skill. Equally they do not pop in relation to player achievements, these loot boxes will appear once every time you level up, or if you succumb to the fee-to-play ethos of blizzard and buy yourself some. This for me gives you no real motivation beyond mastering the characters available and certainly no stock that you have. The two specific trophies/achievements that you can earn after painstaking play with your specific character merely unlock different 'sprays' that can be declared onto walls in front of you in-game for absolutely none else to look at...
    There just isn't any reason for you to keep going hoping that one of the loot boxes will drop a skin for a character that you maybe play as now and again.

    I truly can't grasp the reason behind the hype surround this game. I think the user reviews speak for themselves and wish I'd paid more of attention to them instead of being blinded by the hype surrounding a sub stellar game marketed at a AAA price.    … Expand

All fine, except the price. 60$ for Dota it's too much, it's highly overpriced and extremely empty inside for this value. 15-20$ and I can keep calm trying to find it interesting, but not 60$. You can buy a lot of games for 60$, and you will feel that this money invested in a content, in a game design, in a graphics, in entertainment innovations. But not for dota with World of Warcraft textures.
    I will not recommend this game anyone, who are not crazy about MOBA and who are not a rich guy :)    … Expand

    Lo único destaca-ble del juego es los personajes y sus habilidades en cuanto jugabilidad nada fuera de lo normal, les recomiendo antes de comprarlo que lo jueguen en casa de un amigo a ver si les gusta, porque comparado con Call of Duty: Black Ops el Overwatch es un niños en pañales es como comparar el mundo abierto del The Witcher o Red dead redemption con Minecraft en fin este juego alLo único destaca-ble del juego es los personajes y sus habilidades en cuanto jugabilidad nada fuera de lo normal, les recomiendo antes de comprarlo que lo jueguen en casa de un amigo a ver si les gusta, porque comparado con Call of Duty: Black Ops el Overwatch es un niños en pañales es como comparar el mundo abierto del The Witcher o Red dead redemption con Minecraft en fin este juego al parecer es de niños rata, pero seguiré jugando a ver si cambio de opinión ya que inverti 60 Us.… Expand

    If Overwatch had costed $20, it could have been a decent 7/10 game. With only a few multiplayer game modes, even fewer maps and no singleplayer campaign whatsoever, it feels more like a lazy scam from Blizzard than a love-crafted game. The terrible matchmaking and lack of progression system don't help either and all of this culminates with a ridiculously luck based trophy list to encourageIf Overwatch had costed $20, it could have been a decent 7/10 game.

    Based on my time I played at a friends house, I don't understand why this game is popular. The community is pretty toxic and will get mad if you don't play the quote on quote right character.

    So basically if you're looking for a game that lets you succeed in the beginning by setting you up against a group that it knows wont work together in order to let you win so you will keep playing then to only set you up to fail to make other players feel awesome then this is the game for you. This garbage **** is consistently punishing you for being a little bit better than your peersSo basically if you're looking for a game that lets you succeed in the beginning by setting you up against a group that it knows wont work together in order to let you win so you will keep playing then to only set you up to fail to make other players feel awesome then this is the game for you. This garbage **** is consistently punishing you for being a little bit better than your peers making it almost impossible to advance in a fulfilling way. It traps you with awesome games in the beginning even when you just pick a new character you haven't played before in order to get the player to keep playing only to have you get wrecked by other players to keep them playing. Designed to waste your time and to manage a certain ratio of players in order to keep everyone playing. Unless you happen to be the genetic freak to make your way beyond Platinum competitive ranking just don't bother playing.… Expand

    They want to copy tf2 but can't make it a percentage of the fun as it. Blizzard makes no attempts to actually balance the characters they just want to add skins and try to get it in the "competitive" scene. And the game that's obviously made for mouse and keyboard they don't let you use it on console.

    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]
