    This game used to be a lot of fun. The tank meta of course ruined the game and pushed everyone off. It was good while it lasted.

    Wenn man das Spiel alleine ohne Freunde spielt, wird es sehr schnell sehr langweilig und monoton. Mir fehlt auch der Grund, dieses Spiel auf längere Zeit zu spielen.

Each of them are divided into three classes: Tank, Dps and Support. Each character plays differently, but most share similar play styles. Tanks are a wall, that pushes the team forwards. They are heavy to move around with, but do a great deal of damage. DPS is arguebly the most popular class. Most of the time these heroes like to go solo, lead the team or just like to showoff. Often times this class gets picked the most (talking from experience), so don't be suprised if you end up filling in as either a tank or support class. Then finally there's the Support class. It is the easiest class to play. All you have to do is keep your teammates alive. Sure the weapons aren't that effective, but as a support main player myself it's thanks to our boosts and heals, you're still alive!
    There are four game modes: Quick play, Competitive, Arcade, Custom mode. In Quick play is great mode hop in if you're into casual fun. If you like a little variety there's an Arcade mode for that. If you really want to challenge yourself and hit the scoreboards, (become a pro player maybe?), that's what Competitive mode is for. Lastly there's the custom mode, where you get to try out levels created by other players.

    Most addicting portion of the game comes from the cosmetic items and levels you gain after every match. Most skins are creative while the rest are mostly recolors of regular skins. Only lacking parts are the story and patch updates. I'd love to know more about the characters and their world, but Blizzard barely fill those gaps in. Sure there are animated shorts and comics, but no campaign or single player stories to play? Then there's the ineffective patches of the game. Blizzard seems to make unnecessary patches, that effect the game. For example some of the heroes weapons don't always work as they should. Like shooting sometimes one bullet at a time or incapability to heal others. And no matter how many times you reinstall or reset the internet router, the faults still remain.

    Sequel so far looks like the first installment with accessories. From what I've seen from the beta gameplay it plays exactly the same as the first installment. I don't care if the game is free, the issues still remain. Maybe the sequel might have actual story campaigns, but I still feel like there should have been something in the first game other than easter eggs. But even with all that said, I still love Overwatch. And when the game works it's a lot fun. (No but seriously Blizzard get your **** together.)    … Expand

    This game is Boring, and full of try hards and loot boxes
    This game ruined gaming as a whole, by incentivizing corporations to add loot boxes to their games too, to make those billions of addicts who cannot say no. so now every blizzard game is just another overwatch, a loot box shop, with a diablo, warcraft, or starcraft shaped ui.

    I hate this game, and despise what it caused to happen.

    As far as the regular modes go, this game is hella fun. However, when you play ranked... This game is unplayable for me because of the toxic fanbase. I know it's probably not a fair reason to judge the game but I just really an't enjoy the game because of toxic people are in the game. People take this game way too seriously and it's extremely sad.

    By far one of the most fun times I've ever had with a hero shooter, its less arcade-y and more competitive unlike titles like Team Fortress Two but that does not take away the fun I've had with this game.
    Graphics are also good.    … Expand

    Poor balancing, stale meta & disgusting business ethics. Blizzard’s fall from grace is undeniable.

    Overwatch is an entertaining and captivating PvP game that has an interesting and diverse cast of characters in an intriguing world, but fails to actually incorporating any narratives into the game.

    Whilst it is very enjoyable to play, the game suffers from a lack of balance within the large cast of characters, a poor match-making system and an unfortunately toxic community both in and outside of the competitive scene.

    The worst aspects of Overwatch is what it lacks. There is no proper progression system where you are properly rewarded for playing the game - instead you play several matches at a time to level up and receive a lootbox, which may or may not reward you with anything that feels rewarding (most of the time it does not). Even with its competitive scene rewarding unique currency, it is a grind to obtain and can only be used to unlock the same golden variation of each character's weapons.

    The best aspect of Overwatch is, or perhaps it is better to say *was* it's frequent content drops, which included new cosmetics, maps, characters and events that kept the game fresh and enjoyable at least for a limited time. However, now the game has been barren of any real content for years and this only further highlights the flaws with the game.    … Expand

    Game was good at launch, now the long wait times and forcing DPS to basically be locked behind such wait have killed any interest in the game. The whiners turned this game into a literally **** show. Not one ounce of it is good.

    The game was practically abandoned, if you are in high ranks, it takes hours to find a match there's nothing to do in the game other than playing the same games with the same characters doing the same thing. The game was good at launch. And the simple price doesn't decrease even after many years

    Нормально, но быстро надоедает. Костюмы персонажей скучны и однообразны расскраска одного костюма 5 раз, сюжета нет - и не будет! Free to Play (зажмотили), денег не стоит. Русский язык присутствует - за это спасибо!

    Es un gran multijugador con grandes personajes y muy buena personalidad, el problema radica en el pésimo buscador, perderás el 80% de las partidas por culpa de jugadores que parecen tener 1 mano , aparte de eso los mapas están totalmente deseculibrados dando ventaja a ciertos lados de equipo, pésima actualización 1 personaje al año es ridiculo, actualmente está muerto

    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]
