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

    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.

    Overwatch is a weird game and I mean it when i say Its just not for me Overpriced for console I think would have made a better title but lets get into it

    Story: There is zero story packed into the game If you want to find the story the only thing you can do is watch the trailer for the game that give the background of the world, Its a weird way of doing a story for a game and at the same time a very bad way, because it never covers why these heros are fighting each other or why at all, So because of a lack of a story mode we are forced to watch the trailers for the game to even understand who any of these people are and thats a bad way of doing a story for a game.

    Gameplay: Best part of the game by far but only for a few hours after that it gets very repetitive You have a ton of heros to play as and They ALL play very differently they did an excellent job with the heros but it all fades away with only 3 game modes to play and you'll be doing the same thing over and over again I would go into more detail but honestly theirs nothing else its very lacking instead they try to keep things fresh with a wide variety of maps but that still comes down to being repetitive

    Performance/Graphics: The game Runs super smooth and the graphics are something fresh and new that I like ive gotten really bored of the ultra realistic graphics everyone seems to be going for these days, no bugs have seen flawless so far

    Censorship: This game has fallen under some scrutiny for censoring a character called tracer due to sjw backlash It was a pose they showed off her butt and they removed it from the game , but soon after they replaced it with a just as exposing one which makes me think why even took it out at all? and various print outs of characters that were under out houses in maps were removed due to them making a dirty joke about masturbation.

    Personal Thoughts/Verdict: Blizzard has had a long track record of amazing games but i feel for this one they took a step back with the sheer lack of content very little gameplay variety and the 60 dollar price tag for console instead of the pc 40 dollar version which is just unfair my verdict is a 5/10 In mp opinion blizzard got it wrong this time hopefully they can do better on their next project    … Expand

Although it is multiplayer only, every match plays out differently and provides fun even when you're on the losing end.
    Pros:
    - Beautiful graphics with a pixar like feel
    - Interesting and unique heroes with distinct personalities and abilities
    - Easily accessible for new players, but a high skill cap for better players
    - PLAYERS WITH MORE PLAYTIME INVESTED DO NOT HAVE AN ADVANTAGE. This was a major turnoff for me with other franchises (*cough* COD), and it feels great having a fair chance in every match rather than losing to someone just because they've been playing for 30 hours more than me to get the best weapon
    - Switching characters allows actions and reactions to every team composition, sounds weird at first, but you'll never go back after experiencing it.
    - Blizzard adding all future gameplay content (ie: everything but skins) for free. Plans for maps, modes, and heroes coming in the future.

    Cons:
    - MP only can still be daunting for some, although I contest that it is fun even for players new to FPS
    - Maps are specifically customized to be best for one mode, so no control on Route 66
    - Ranked play not up until June

    Overwatch is a fun game but it's a little overhyped. For starters, the lack of a story mode and the inclusion of microtransactions in a paid title, are something that seem to have been completely overlooked by the games journalists. Now, none of these are dealbreakers in my book. Other games have launched with no story and sadly microtransactions are a part of our lives now.

Now, none of these are dealbreakers in my book. Other games have launched with no story and sadly microtransactions are a part of our lives now. The microtransactions in Overwatch are purely for cosmetic items and do not give you any benefits in game (other than looking/sounding cool), so it's a fair system. You can also earn everything for free, if you have the patience of a Zen Buddhist Monk, otherwise you're going to pony up some cash. It's a system designed for gambling, addiction, and frustration.

    Anyway, gameplay wise it's a lot of fun. The characters are all very unique and interesting. They all play differently and give you a variety of ways to contribute to your team. If you're not the world's greatest aim, that's all right, you can play a support and focus more on helping your teammates versus trying to kill everyone yourself. The game is very "casual" friendly in that it doesn't focus on kill/death ratio, it has fun things like play of the game and allows people to vote/commend other players who did well. It's a bit short on maps and modes, there's only three modes and the assault/defense and team deathmatch just don't feel all that different from each other.

    Overall, I don't think it's worth $60, more like $30 or better yet since it has microtransactions should have been F2P. Personally for me it gets old, pvp is something I enjoy but only in doses and eventually it gets frustrating and of course you're inevitably going to run into something that is annoying. Whether that be people running a troll team (all McCrees) or just someone who is loads better than you and dominating you. In those times I like to have a story mode to retreat to and OW lacks that. If you are big into pvp and/or just really loved Team Fortress 2, go for it. Personally, there are other "hero shooters" I prefer to Overwatch.    … Expand

    Overwatch or Overrated? This is one of those games that gets a lot of attention because of its pedigree. It shows that this is a game made by Blizzard. Colorful graphics, unique characters, tight art design, oozes style from every crevice. Glance at it and it's an incredibly well put together game.

    The number one issue on console is    Overwatch or Overrated? This is one of those games that gets a lot of attention because of its pedigree. It shows that this is a game made by Blizzard. Colorful graphics, unique characters, tight art design, oozes style from every crevice. Glance at it and it's an incredibly well put together game. Put it under the microscope and the illusion fades.

    The number one issue on console is the aiming mechanic. It's one of the worst of this generation. The max turn speed is too slow to handle the quickness of movement for some of these characters. Couple the insane amount of input lag with timed acceleration and there is no consistency to crosshair movement. It's no surprise than that the more precision a character requires to do well the more worthless they are and the less they are used online. Tanks, grenadiers, and shotgunners dominate.

    Outside of gameplay the experience isn't much better. Whether there is no community left or SBMM is too stringent, the game takes too long to find a match, often more than a minute. Often as not it will place you in a match that's nearly over leaving you waiting more than playing. This is further aggrevated by the half a minute team composition time and then the minute long wait before the match begins.

    They try to rectify this by, on occasion, putting you in a pre-battle non objective ffa skirmish with the playes that have been matched already while finding the rest. These usually last seconds and you often get kicked back into menu to search for a new lobby. Why they couldn't let you stay in training with bots while the search for players commences is beyond me.

    Overwatch is one of those games that you really, really, really, want to be good because it has a lot of great qualities but it falls apart where it matters most. If it ever gets its aiming and matchmaking fixed it will be something special.    … Expand

    The game is fun. The way a free to play competitive shooter is fun. But Blizzard is selling their characters stories, style and backstory which are not in the game. The videos and trailers are awesome, love them. But the game is a full priced game $60 for a few maps, a ton of random characters and basic shooting, no upgrades, no levels, no progress, nothing.

    The game is fun at first, but as the hours drag on you realize this game has no replay value at all. I enjoyed the first couple days, but never missed the game. After that I tried to play it intermittently but found myself wanting to play PvZ 2 or Battleborn instead. This game may have been worth $20, but no more.

    The best thing about Overwatch is its diversity. Shooters have been doing the exact same thing for the last 8 years and it was getting seriously stale. Overwatch either improves on or throws all the shooter tropes of late out the window. This is a game where you could play the same team comp every game for a hundred games and it would be a different experience every time.

    But the diversity also brings another great experience to the table, and that is that when you get even a little bored of playing a certain character, just switch to any other character and you'll have an entirely different experience.

The core gameplay can definitely be enjoyable but for me those times where I truly and fun were few and far between. All too often my game would be plagued with leavers or toxic players who wouldn't communicate or attempt to create viable team compositions. I didn't mind these occurrences as much in quick play but many times I would run into players like this during competitive matches making which made those games incredibly annoying to play. All in all the core gameplay is good, the characters are relatively interesting, and the game at times can genuinely be fun but unless you have a consistent group of friends to play with I really wouldn't recommend investing $60 into this game.… Expand

YOU BETTER READ THIS, I THINK IT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT: It has been confirmed that this game has rigged matchmaking, which works to keep every player at 50% winratio or slightly higher. After playing over 500 matches, i can confirm this is true first hand, my winratio HASN'T CHANGED AT ALL since i started playing. For further evidence check masteroverwatch site, virtually everyone is at 49-55% winrate (except competetive players from premade teams, and even then there's less than 100 players per platform with 70%+ winrate). But how do they do it? Well, for starters, the most obvious, they put you in bad teams so you're predestined to lose, that happens alot, and makes the game very frustrating. But that's not even all, the matchmaking resorts to much more disgusting methods to keep your winrate in check. For example, you are in a good team that won 2 or 3 matches in a row. Ohh so sorry, we have to disband it, because "there are not enough players", and you're back to lobby looking for a new game, even though there were 11/12 players in that match. After that you're probably put into a losing match 1 minute before it ends. Because f*ck you, you'r W/L is way too high! Sometimes they just don't care and straight out disconnect you out of a match, even though your internet works perfectly (and don't worry, you will never disconnect from a losing game, its always when you're about to win, especially if you're the MVP). Just so we are clear, disconnect = instant lose and no way to return to that match. Of course i've quit the game when learned about this, and i would never buy it to begin with. Only if someone warned me...

    Of course this is not a problem if you have 5 friends, who want to play the same game as you, at the same hours as you, and on the same platform... In other words, no. Stay away.    … Expand

The classes are all fun to use, each with their own personalities. The game modes are hype-filled thrill rides, the gameplay is balanced to where people who don't like shooters can enjoy, the maps are all fun to play on, and almost everything about this game is absolutely amazing.

This game is meant for people who think games on your phone are real video games. If you buy this, you are supporting the destruction of the gaming industry.

    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: Esté 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

They are consistently at the forefront of gaming mproducing excellent titles and over watch is no exception . Overwatch is extremely simple yet loaded with intricacies that will take you quite a while to master . Theron lies the key to spectacular game design simple yet complex . I'll admit I was on the fence about this game. I did not play the beta I have a job family and personally I don't like betas taking up space on my hard drive .

    This title just oozes quality . From art design to mechanics to sound to gameplay everything is just stellar and polished . Game play is blistering fast and more importantly completely satisfying. There are 21 heroes to pick from and they all feel great with each having their own unique abilities and weapons . The game actively encourages teamwork and a balanced team . Kill to death ratios don't really matter here and MVP awards are voted on by teammates and enmities . Very rarely did I come across instances of teams not willing to work together . With the exception of one round where my team had 3 tracers myself being one . I altered my selection and went with someone else as it isn't like I didn't have choices .

    Game modes are control assault and escort and honestly all 3 are a blast to play across 12 maps with maps catering specifically to one of the three mentioned game modes . Teamwork is encouraged one escort map I picked Reinhardt a character whom carries a massive shield . I only killed two people but I kept my team alive and the objective moving with 4 minutes total objective time my team covered my flanks and I trusted them to do so . In the end the enemy and my fellow team voted me MVP and honestly it felt great .

    Having a cohesive team work toward the objective with everyone else on the same page just feels amazing as stated earlier kills don't matter here and teamwork is the word of the day . Let's talk dlc will there be any ?. Yes and get this folks it's all free nothing is locked behind paywalls . There are loot boxes and basically the upgrades are cosmetic and do not alter gameplay . None of this is important because playing more over watch is your reward . This game is addicting it is utterly masterful . What blizzard has accomplished here with no experience is what makes them with a select few others such a respected name in this world .

    For the first time since metal gear solid 5 I'm giving a game a 10 those who have read my other reviews will know how I hold that title in such a high regard . I just may have a new favorite title . Utterly refreshing yet familiar simple yet complicated . Should you begin your overwatch ?. Everyone should I have and I have looked back quite simply this is video game bliss don't miss it .    … Expand

    Blizzard did a lot right with this game, but they were apparently not interested in making a game that is fun to play solo. I assume that eventually players will learn what to do and cooperate (similar to WOW), but for now most battles are a disorganized mess. Unfortunately, even when players do learn how to cooperate, I think the simplicity of the objectives will become a negative.

You can gain levels, but so what. Leveling has no impact on your abilities/stats. Without the ability to improve your character, I think this game will get boring pretty quickly. There is just no feeling of progression at all. This game is probably a blast to play with a group of friends but we don't all have 5 friends standing by when we feel like playing.… Expand

    Get a group of friends and have an amazing time. This is the next generation of FPS. The people are hating on this game are sad that their games will become irrelevant once Overwatch reigns king.

Heck, many people who don't even play games know about the game. You know this already, but Overwatch is a team-based multiplayer shooter with an incredible cast of heroes to play as. Overwatch was successful before it even came out, but let me tell you why you need to buy this game-as long as you know for sure it's the game for you.

    Overwatch's Attraction
    Of course, the main draw of OW is its roster. Every single character is different, even if they're technically classified as the same type of hero (offence, builder, tank, healer). They're also specially crafted for different kinds of situations, and every one contributes an equal part to a team. They're also layered with many pros and cons, and when you put heroes against each other, they form a rock-paper-scissors-like game-there are advantages and disadvantages. For example, one of my favorite heroes, Roadhog, has a deadly ability where he hooks people in and then blasts away with his powerful shotgun. This ability works great against a sniper when they're perched up on a roof, but careful using it against a close-range character, like Reaper. He'll blow you to bits! There are so, so, SO many more things in the game like this. My best advice is use all of the heroes! You'll be engaged in more fun and variety if you do so.

    The Intensity of the Fight
    Before I get into what the matches are like, let me just say the matchmaking in the game is very smooth. Every single multiplayer match in OW requires precious teamwork and coordination. No, you don't ALWAYS have to play with friends (more on that later), but you have to be mindful of how you and your teammates work together. That also means knowing how to play your hero. No matter what weapon you use, shooting in the game feels great and easy. It's also quite simple how to kill people, but the complexity to that is knowing how to use your hero. Trust me, if you aren't willing to learn the deep characteristics of each hero and how to use them skillfully, don't get this game. But even with OW's deceptively deep mechanics, it's still an amazingly fun game.

    Verdict
    I think the main reason OW has a 6.1 as its user score (a crime in my opinion) is its "lack of content and asking price". OW has only 3 variations of multiplayer matches, yes. I don't know how I can explain why OW would be the game for you, but you should know. If it totally is, it's worth every penny of $60. However, if that's not the case, wait for a sale (something that will be a long time coming most likely...) or just hold off on it entirely. My personal opinion of the game ends with this: Overwatch is some of the most fun I've ever had in a multiplayer game and I'm so glad I bought it.    … Expand

    Ok, so this game is definitely fun for the most part, aside from a community that got very cancerous and rabid about the game before it even came out which made me initially cancel my order for it, I got it because all my friends were moving to it.

Firstly, without that, the game does not particularly justify either it's cost or the COD style microtransactions, which should NOT be in here (damn you Activision). The story/opening cutscene bit hints at interesting lore and PvE which is totally absent, and is therefore totally confusing; had this game had some sort of PvE it could have been pushing towards 9/10. Other games get **** for not having coherent SP campaigns of this sort, but the Overwatch marketing machine seems to have given it a pass. No doubt I'll still be playing this for as long as my friends are, but personally I have found very few characters gratifying to play as, mostly due to the lack of sprint, making play slow and irritating if you die a couple of times in succession (hence I mostly use Tracer). No doubt this is a good game, if somewhat lacking in content, but as usual has been hyped up to such proportions that all the mainline reviewers were only ever going to give it 8/9/10 etc. Why these people get caught up in the hype even more than most of the player base I have no idea, but maybe the user scores can be a little more representative. This game could and probably will have a better rating when more content comes out for it. Oh and f**k the Loot Box system, that brings it down from a 7 to a 6 straight away.… Expand

    Is Overwatch for you if you want some dumb fun? You know it is.

    Overwatch is an objective based six on six hero shooter from our pals over at Blizzard. You need to be connected to the internet to play, and the only single player content is in the form of bot matches. Again, if you need a campaign, this is not the game for you. With that out of the way, the multiplayer is sooo good. I'm forty hours in, and I'm still having a blast. There are 22 characters that fit into 4 classes who all feel unique, and only like, 13 maps, but let's not dwell on that. All the game modes are objective based (no team deathmatch or anything similar) so you have to stick with your team instead of wandering off alone. Team composition matters too, though playing six of the same character is admittedly fun.

    The game is a bit light on content right now, that's true, but Blizzard has stated that all future heroes, maps, and game modes will be free, so that problem will fix itself later on. Even so, the game might not be worth it to you at full price. If it looks interesting, but you're not super into it, wait on a price drop.

    In conclusion, pretty darn good, just not too much to keep the average person busy for hundreds of hours.    … Expand

    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.

    You get bored very quickly, especially that does not have a ranking mode. The game suffers from a syndrome without friends do not come. The gameplay itself is not matched by a very casual goals static map. Blizzard had an idea and went poplin, which resembles a large extent inept copy of Team Fortress 2.

    OverHYPED. Why are the heroes fighting each other? The world needs less generic online FPS games that severely lack content. No horde survival mode? No option to even vote for the game type? And only 2 game types at that... attack and defend! LOL what a scam.

    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]
