    I haven't played the game so you can't take my review seriously but I heard it's pretty good stuff for fans of multiplayer and shooters. This is blizzards take on team fortress basically.

This is blizzards take on team fortress basically. That being said you don't have to play the game to know that there are lame micro transactions and a lack of playable story mode. Just do a little research. I would give the game anywhere from a 6-8... Maybe once they add in stuff and it's price goes down a lot it will truly be a 9 like the critics say. Maybe... Until that day may or may not come... I'm with Angry Joe on this one. Even if I haven't played the game...

    Basically all I'm saying in this "review" is that this game is clearly not 9 material. I know I haven't played it yet but that much is obvious at least. Like I said though... It might be a 9 one day... Maybe. What's with games launching poorly these days? Destiny... Halo 5... This game... LOL!

    This isn't a review so much as it is a warning that if you want a shooter with a playable multiplayer mode AND story... This isn't it.    … Expand

    The problem with the game lies within the equation: Content x Price (this math never gets old).
    Had them put this game around $20, even with paid DLC; or released later (with more content on) they'd walk away with a free pass from users as well.
    Also, you don't simply deny offline play to console gamers, it's sort of a cultural clash!

    So it seems that the era of fully priced, online multiplayer only games are among us. Overwatch is another example of an extremely over hyped game that just does not deliver. What do we get for this fully priced game, a handful of characters, badly designed maps, extremely unbalanced gameplay and 3 GAME MODES (4 if you want to include the hybrid).

Overwatch is another example of an extremely over hyped game that just does not deliver. What do we get for this fully priced game, a handful of characters, badly designed maps, extremely unbalanced gameplay and 3 GAME MODES (4 if you want to include the hybrid). The cost of the game is not justified in any way with this game. To beat a dead horse, Team Fortress 2 delivers exactly the same but for free (minus the stupid character special abilities).
    So why is this game so popular? E-SPORTS... f**king e-sports. Get a bunch of youtubers and twitchers to demonstrate a game of this manor and their audiences go mental. I guess that's the way gaming has become now though right? developers don't have to put any effort to create a decent game anymore cause the current generation of gaming doesn't care. Blizzard could have released this game with 5 characters, 3 maps and 1 game mode and it would still be a top seller simple because of the way modern gaming has become.

    For me, the game grew stale after about an hour or so. It was fun to play as a healer for a few games, then experimented with the other classes. After you try each character once, what else is there? Although the game boasts a 21 character library, your lucky if you see half of them in a good session. You are always playing against the same, overpowered characters again and again, making gameplay extremely frustrating.
    If blizzard stick to their word and release more content (a la Destiny), the game might become half decent and worth playing ..... for another hour until it becomes stale again. Ultimately, the game is not good. It is a poor attempt at a revival for a game style that only appeals to an extremely small crowd, and those who don't care about financial expenses.    … Expand

    Honestly, this game is fantastic. They did a good job honing the different characters and figuring out what they were going to create. The game has some drawbacks, but, knowing blizzard, that won't be a problem. This game has an incredible amount of potential and my friends and I have a blast playing it.

    I'm not sure if Blizzard threw some money the "professional" critics' direction or they're just playing favorites but do NOT believe the hype. This game is half-baked at best.

    Its so boring! Weak game-play. Frequently kicked out of multi-player due to lack of enough other players. Upgrades and loot boxes are items that would appeal to kindergartners intellect. Very disappointed. Makes me think twice about listening to professional reviewers.

    Overwatch is a great breath of fresh air for the team-based FPS genre. With great graphics, game play, characters, and lore, Overwatch is the game for you if you like the team-based FPS genre. For anyone complaining about the lack of content for the price, please note that Blizzard has stated the all future DLC will be free for the time being. So eventually, the price will pay off.

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

    Hola esta es una critica en español y mi opinión de OW es de que es un fiasco y un total intento fallido de hacer un juego como el TF2 solo que los de Blizzard le agregan los poderes secundarios tipo moba y ya con eso según ellos tiene un juego la pura verdad este juego va dirigido al publico masculino y a niños por el echo de que trata del típico escuadrón de HÉROES y en TF2 no solo son 9Hola esta es una critica en español y mi opinión de OW es de que es un fiasco y un total intento fallido de hacer un juego como el TF2 solo que los de Blizzard le agregan los poderes secundarios tipo moba y ya con eso según ellos tiene un juego la pura verdad este juego va dirigido al publico masculino y a niños por el echo de que trata del típico escuadrón de HÉROES y en TF2 no solo son 9 mercenarios con mucho carisma, la gente que consocio el OW conoció primero al personaje femenino Tracer y luego ala WindowMaker gracias a paginas de arte o vídeos para adultos si saben de los que dijo y para mi es la primera ves que veo mucho de ese contenido para adultos y así ha pasado con todas las Mujeres del OW y hasta ahora la única que les interesa es la D´va por su estilo como chica Otaku Gamer.

    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 TF2: 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

    The character design is one of the strongest points in the game, they are very diverse and cool looking, right now the number of heroes is 21 and they make for very diverse games. The game is smoothly balanced, sometimes some characters can feel a little cheap but you just need some coordination to deal with it.
    The gameplay is the best aspect of the game, the maps are design so that every character be the best at what it does. There are not many maps right now but i have never felt bored. If you like this kind of games and have some friends to play it give it a shot.    … Expand

    There is a lack of content from a strictly maps/story perspective, but Blizzard has opted for quality over quantity, and it shows. The game is so lovingly crafted to provide you with hours of entertainment with no strings attached. No season pass, no worrying about progression or cards or anything weird that gets in the way of playing. Microtransactions are limited to cosmetics, once you purchase the game that's it. You're done if that's what you want. Blizzard is going to support this game for a long time, you're purchase will still mean something in the coming years.

    All in all, this is simply a delightful shooter that has brought me much enjoyment so far this summer and I'll continue to play until it gets old. Which isn't going to be anytime soon...you owe it to yourself to give this game a try and see what all the fuss is about. It truly saddens me that some people are unable to just let go and enjoy the fun that there is to be had, but it's only their loss.    … Expand

    They have a lot to improve but they also seem to be improving as I played through the beta, so I'm hopeful.

    Overwatch is an online only multiplayer shooter..
    there is no story here other than a quick introduction when the game starts up, and there is no single player campaign..
    Its basically play the tutorial and then jump into the action…
    There are 21 unique feeling characters all separated into 4 different classes, offense, defense, tank and support.. so you can contribute to your team in any way you please whether that’s getting kills, being a shield, or healing
    Some classes do have more character variety than the other.. but every last character has its own weapon and special abilities with cool downs, so youre guaranteed to find one to match your playstyle, and hopefully youll find at least 1 in each class for whatever each situation calls for, as you can switch characters during the match much like a gun loadout in other competitive multiplayer shooters
    so if youre not feeling one, go down the list until you find your right fit..
    All of this is great,, every character feels useful in their own way..
    The only problem is theres not much here
    There are 12 maps here which is a decent amount of variety, but none stood out to me…
    I can easily name maps in other shooters that are fun to just run around and kill people in..
    But I couldn’t here.. they all really feel the same…
    And evry mission is just objective based…
    You have capture.. escort…and control…
    Basically youre either fighting or defending a section of the map at all times…
    I understand that these are really the only kind of missions that make sense in a game thats about character variety…
    But I’d like to see some innovation beyond just the characters…
    Maybe coming up with modes for each individual classes, such as a team death match for offense and tanks only
    a tower defense for the defense and support team…
    get creative
    Not just the same modes in every other shooter set inside pretty average maps…
    After you’ve put your hours into the game youll level up which unlocks a loot box…
    And inside of these loot boxes are garbage taunts, costumes, and sprays…
    You grind to looks different while you do the same thing for hours on end.
    Which honestly I wouldn’t mind all too much if there was more gameplay variety
    I can only capture and defend for so long

    Although TF2 was great, it wasn't what I essentially wanted at that point in time. Over the years I've warmed up to TF2 but Overwatch has hit that sweet spot for me when it comes to fast, competitive, and methodical team based action.

    If you're looking for an FPS that isn't just another iteration of CoD with a large user base of children, then Overwatch can fulfill that need.

    Right now the content is smaller than what one would expect from a 60$ game but for those who know and love Blizzard, more content will be on the way, and they'll listen to their fan base throughout the life span of the game.

    Although, if you're a fan of this genre and style you would know it's not a game with a story per se, a mission, or progression. It's about team work, strategy, and understanding not only your surroundings but players, on both sides.

    So strap in and hang tight as Overwatch is a fast and thrilling experience.    … Expand

    overwatch is a good game i have been playing a lot of it for a good long while. now i have never been a blizzard fan, this being the first real game that i have played of theirs so far i am impressed. the characters are unique and well diversified, if i just showed you a screen shot of any of them you'd know who i was talking about. the game play is easy to pick up and master,so causaloverwatch is a good game i have been playing a lot of it for a good long while. now i have never been a blizzard fan, this being the first real game that i have played of theirs so far i am impressed. the characters are unique and well diversified, if i just showed you a screen shot of any of them you'd know who i was talking about. the game play is easy to pick up and master,so causal player and hard core. never once did i feel like i was being carried or had to carry any member of my team. i can go all day about + so i guess i can hit the negatives there is no main campaign tacked on at the last second. the price maybe a little high for the lack content right now but all things considered i have no problem giving it an 8/10… Expand

    First off i'm gonna start by saying this game is AMAZING. Over watch was rated the best Xbox one game of 2016 the 4th most discussed and the 4th most shared on meta critic alone. I have so far put about 24 hours into the game (I've had it for a week) i'm level 23 and I have spent about $30 extra on the game so far (on loot boxes) i have 2 legendary skins (golden) and I am in love with theFirst off i'm gonna start by saying this game is AMAZING.

There is so much detail in this game that just can't go ignored. Every character is fun to play in all game modes. The game feels pretty balanced and really easy to just pick up and play even if you have never played a game like it before. I think that blizzard really did a wonderful job on there newest game and i can't wait to get more updates heroes and maps.… Expand

    Lots of fun
    Vast selection of fun characters, each with their own personalities
    Those play of the game kill cams are a nice touch

    Repetitive maps, need more!!!
    Some guys spam one character which can be annoying

    Ok so this game is really fun, gameplay is epic. But!... Content, wheres the content? And why doesn't the tutorial get across how much you need to cooperate!? And the loot system and it's way over priced micro transactions is just broken. My wife hasn't had a single legendary and she's level 30! You need to reward people and make the rewards want u to keep getting them. She's feelingOk so this game is really fun, gameplay is epic. But!... Content, wheres the content?

My wife hasn't had a single legendary and she's level 30! You need to reward people and make the rewards want u to keep getting them. She's feeling really disheartened with the lack of drops which is making her play less! Easy fix, every 10 levels a roulette wheel. 1 legendary skin, 3 epics and 6 common. Spin to win, and at least come away with something of worth. God damn player icons.... … Expand

    It isn't a bad game it's just over rated like 93 what kind rating is that it is good but not that good it doesn't have the most of content either I'm giving it a 6/10 not because it's bad it's just strongly overated

    Blizzard still has allot to prove, the matchmaking is unbalanced, the lack of a sing player to express the story behind overwatch is disappointing, and no improvements was felt when the vouched that they properly balanced the 20 character after getting feedback from the fans.

    Es increíble ver gente que defiende este juego cuando a todas luces es un refrito de un juego de hace ya varios años y que además era !!!!!!GRATIS!!!!!!
    Si eres una persona cuerda evitarás comprar este título completamente roto y sin materia, un simple pretexto para robar dinero.

    What people don't understand when viewing user reviews it is their opinion, I feel that this game does need more content, OK, but there has been one instance with lag and I live in the US, the game is one of the most balanced games out there, finally the devs will add more content to freshen up the game, take this review with a grain of salt if you want but overwatch is a great gameWhat people don't understand when viewing user reviews it is their opinion, I feel that this game does need more content, OK, but there has been one instance with lag and I live in the US, the game is one of the most balanced games out there, finally the devs will add more content to freshen up the game, take this review with a grain of salt if you want but overwatch is a great game recommend you check it out, also if you have a PC get it for that it is the best version because it is $50.… Expand

    Blizzard at its best, refining a formula until it sings. As good as team-based shooters get. [Aug 2016, p.83]

    Despite a few drawbacks, which aren't deal breakers, Overwatch is one of the best games I've played this year. It's simplistic nature really allows you to just pick up a controller and shoot everything in sight. This is easily a game that will drain countless hours of your life away thanks to its quality, execution, and simplistic core.

    The bottom line is that Overwatch is easy to pick up and understand, and amazingly fun to play.
