    What a stellar game. I haven't played this fun of a online shooter in many, many years. The User Scores on this site make absolutely NO SENSE, and it sort of ruins Metacritic's credibility.

    Marvellous fun. Loving the consistency of the gameplay and environment and aesthetic and humour, unified and polished. Looking forward to many hours with it. Think Brink but with all issues solved and 5 years of highest quality revamp.

Each character is unique and exploding with charm and personality. All of the different play-styles make this game very accessible since you can jump in and find a character that you can gravitate towards. The universe is interesting and is basically a mash up of The Terminator, Planet of the Apes, Mad Max, The Incredibles, Metal Gear Rising and more.

    The gameplay is the main draw, probably the smartest FPS in years. The reliance on teamwork is crucial which is refreshing. Filling in a role to contribute for your team feels a lot more meaningful than simply having a high kill count in other multiplayer games. The game is just extremely satisfying to play. And extremely addicting, you'll find yourself saying "1 more match!" for an hour straight.

    Overall the game is extremely creative, has deep gameplay mechanics and is a great mix of shooting and tactical cooperation. Just a great game, plus with free updates on the way it'll only get better and better. GOTY 2016    … Expand

    This game is a master piece, I haven't had that joy by playing a shooter for sometime..
    We have a bunch of different characters, with different play styles that make you play in a very cooperative way to win as a team!
    The unique characters personality are also very good, as well as graphics, game play and sound effects.
    The only thing that I am missing is a single player mode.

At least, after about 75 hours of gameplay I'm still hooked.

    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

Overwatch runs well in everithing it does! Is it so normal to find a multiplayer game that runs well from the day one? Don't you remember Ghost Recon, or Battlefield 4, where it was impossible to play? Blizzard gave us a game where everything runs well, everything they did is perfect, what is not perfect is not present in the game. The game is funny, well balanced, competitive while you play with your full team and user friendly. I can see scripted games (rocket league and so on...) having a higher user score than Overwatch! Are you crazy? If you only consider that the game "is "honest", runs well in everything it does, and that it is funny, well balanced, that each version has been developed from zero (considering the use of the gamepad), you can not give that game a score lower than "8" or "9" . I agree with the metascore, I'm so sad (embittered) looking at players that do not appreciate the great work (localizations, netcode, balance, reactivity (response) of the pad, 1080/60 and so on), that Blizzard did for Overwatch. Maybe tha same players gave a higher score to games where each result is decided by the cpu (somethimes you win , sometimes you lose...) so to maintain always happy the players without demoralizing them, so that thay can continue to play. It is the business in many videogames today. Blizzard knowing that (unfortunately) it is the right way, decided to find an alternative option: in Overwatch you don't have matches piloted by the cpu ( you can find them in many many games!! ), but you will not find the statistics about how many times one of your ally has been killed, or similar things. In each match you will only find "the best of the match", so that no one can make a bad impression to his allies by reading the results of the match.

    I just wanted to address the common complaints I hear about Overwatch, and add my two cents.

    1. "There isn't enough content to justify the hefty price tag."
    This is a matter of personal opinion, it doesn't speak to the merits of the game itself. Personally, although games like Call of Duty have a fleshed out Campaign, I don't get any value out of the single player. I buy xbox games to play online multiplayer -- and Overwatch has some seriously compelling multiplayer! When I read a review I want to hear about the game -- not about how it's too expensive, that's a personal problem!

    2. "The netcode is crappy, only 20-tick!"
    I'm not sure if this is an issue on PC, but even on WiFi I enjoy very smooth gameplay with no "dying in cover" moments. The dedicated servers are responsive and from a technical perspective the game gets a 10/10 from me.

    3. "Microtransactions are a cash grab."
    The microtransactions are purely cosmetic, who cares?

    4. "This game will get boring fast, you just play the same 12 maps over and over again"
    The maps are incredibly well designed and intricate, playing on attack is a totally different experience than defense, which makes 12 maps feel more like 20. Also, it has been announced that new maps and heroes will be released for free.

    5. "The game is completely imbalanced"
    This complaint is total hyperbole, the game is very tightly balanced. Sure, some heroes may be a little stronger than others in certain situations, but the balance is incredibly refined, not an easy feat given the degree of asymmetry in nearly every design aspect of the game. In other words, git gud.

    Another reason I love this game on XBOX, sniping is much harder with a controller so less 1-shot-one-kill moments which aren't the most fun then when you're on the receiving end.

    TL;DR Many of the negative comments are unjustified and should be taken with a grain of salt. If you like fast paced, arcade type shooters pick this game up. Who am I kidding? You probably already have.

    In my ten years of gaming (I'm twenty-five), this is the most polished and balanced game I've ever played on launch day. I've always been a fan of CoD and Battlefield, however, CoD has become boring to me, and I need something else to satiate my FPS needs. With a delightful mix of strategy and gun-play, Overwatch has given me a gameplay experience that I haven't felt since CoD 4.

    No,    In my ten years of gaming (I'm twenty-five), this is the most polished and balanced game I've ever played on launch day. I've always been a fan of CoD and Battlefield, however, CoD has become boring to me, and I need something else to satiate my FPS needs. With a delightful mix of strategy and gun-play, Overwatch has given me a gameplay experience that I haven't felt since CoD 4.

    No, this game does not have a campaign. Yes, it costs $60. However, all future DLC will be free for owners of the game. Let's do a comparison between what CoD provides versus Overwatch for someone who wants a fun, semi-competitive FPS. If you're like me and play CoD for the multiplayer only, you'll pay $60 bucks for the base game and have to pay an additional $60 for the season pass, totaling $120 for each CoD's one year life cycle--assuming that you want the new content so the game doesn't get stale. For Overwatch, the initial $60 investment yields the same multiplayer-based return as CoD, only half the price. Also, with Blizzard's commitment to this game, I wouldn't be suprised if I play this game for two years or more--which would cost me at least $240 in the CoD franchise ($120 x 2 years). In lumping Overwatch in with previous multiplayer-only titles, you're doing yourself a great disservice and are completely wrong. Most of these other titles were almost unplayable on launch day, due to bugs and atrocious server performance. Overwatch's release displays Blizzard's respect for its fans; they want their fans to know that they genuinely care about the player experience, unlike some other AAA companies who begin marketing DLC release before the game's online performance issues are even fixed.

    Also, the recent two CoD developers (Sledgehammer & Treyarch) have gotten strong-armed by Activision to sell previously season pass included DLC content in supply drops. Blizzard has been a highly successful developer for the last 20 years (Starcraft & WoW) and has the backbone to stand up to Activision and refuse to have their micro DLC be anything other than cosmetic only. While Treyarch has done a fantastic job with BO3, they have been forced to create the contract system for supply drops and other filler content that only decrease the odds of getting the favored rare game content. Also, we have been promised an additional specialist for a while now. Where is it? It's almost time for the next CoD and there have been no additional specialists on the Xbox One, due to Activision forcing Vondy and the boys to include useless melee weapons and idiotic specialist taunts in the drops. I love BO3 and all of the CoD developers, but something has been lost for me over the past few years in the franchise, but I think Overwatch can fill this void for FPS gamers like myself.

    Lastly, for the people who say this game is for kids, please remind yourself of what happens in the post-game lobby in BO3 and the rediculous content that was in AW. This game is inherently strategical--much like Team Fortress--and requires its players to constantly adapt to the game situation. For more hardcore gamers like myself, Overwatch has a high skill ceiling with each character and requires more than just fast reflexes. If you've become tired of the CoD franchise, and other tactical shooters have failed to garner your interests--do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Overwatch and re-live the initial euphoria that drew you to online gaming.    … Expand

    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.

    It's amazing how many users are comparing this as a failure to TF2 since it's paid or lacks content for $40, but fail to see the gaming world has change and micro transactions like LoL have stomped out most good PvP franchises.

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

People also say it can get boring, which is a personal thing. I have been playing overwatch ever since it has released with the lack of content, and not getting bored. Also people who keep saying that this is a team fortress 2 ripoff, just stop. It isn't all that much like team fortress. The variety of characters in overwatch is much better and more different than TF2, and story behind these characters are much better. The gameplay in overwatch is amazing, and much more fun than any other shooter I played. The animated shorts that Blizzard makes are awesome. Overall I have rated Overwatch as my #1 game of all time. I haven't spent as much time on any other game as i have overwatch. The fun and joy overwatch brings me is just amazing and no other game has given me that. Like I said, overwatch isn't for everyone. If you don't like games that are repetitive, then that's fine. There is only one thing that I hate about overwatch. The community. In the first 3 months of Overwatch's release the community was great. I didn't come across one toxic player ever. But after that the toxicity you would find in overwatch is nearly 100%. There is a hero that I play all the time (still today as well) that if i played him in the first 3 months, no one would get mad, but now if i choose him, i get reported, called a troll, told to switch, or even they would throw matches. This game is great if you can deal with a over-toxic community.… Expand

    I would really like to write something inspiring, but I can't think of anything. Instead, I'm just gonna say what comes to my mind. The game is great. The last time I've had so much fun with multiplayer FPS game was in Team Fortress 2 era. They are very similar, but Overwatch has so much more heroes. Each and every one of them has different play style and "flow". There something forI would really like to write something inspiring, but I can't think of anything.

There are a lot of game modes and maps to play on, and Blizzard is still adding more which is very good and means that they care about this game. I'm hooked onto this game and think I will be playing it for a long time.… Expand

    Blizzard knows how to construct a whole world even without a campaing mode. The personality of the characters are extremely very well executed and It makes the game a lot funnier to play.

    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.
