   Easily one of the best multiplayer first person shooters. Vastly better than Team Fortress 2, which i used to play in the past.
   
   TheEasily one of the best multiplayer first person shooters. Vastly better than Team Fortress 2, which i used to play in the past.
   
   The graphics , sounds, and general production values are incredible. The game is very polished, and runs incredibly well even on very low powered hardware.
   
   Movement is fluid and fast, and the shooting is satsfying.
   
   Heroes are really distinct and have their own personality and gameplay. No hero plays the same like another. Also, since i have seen this online lately, disregard anyone who complains about hero balance and about cheesy tactics that are somehow "unbeatable". This is clearly a "learn to play" issue. I played the Beta a lot, and let me tell you, that balance is in a very good place, though could be improved even more. Everything has its counters.
   
   While this game has only 12 maps right now, and it is repetitive, it manages to stay fun and interesting for a surprisingly long time. The main reason for this is that the game has immense depth under the casual-friendly appearence, it is one of those easy to learn but very hard to master games. There is always something new to try and learn. And the competitive aspect of the game will keep you coming for more.
   
   The main downside of this game, is that if you have no friends to play with, you won't get nearly the same satisfaction with those who do have their own party. This game is heavily based around teamwork and tactics. You can still find success solo, of course, but will be more difficult.
   
   Other than that, the game deserves its price. Totally recommended.… Expand

   Overwatch is the most fun I've had playing video games in years! It's addicting, always leaving me wanting to play another match. TheOverwatch is the most fun I've had playing video games in years! It's addicting, always leaving me wanting to play another match. The characters are all a lot of fun to play and all feel very different. I really don't understand how people can say that this game isn't worth $60. It has only been out for a week and I've already spent over 30 hours playing it. That is so much more time than I would spend in a game like Uncharted, but I don't see anyone saying that game isn't worth the money. If you like multiplayer shooters at all, buy this game. If you don't like multiplayer shooters, probably not for you.… Expand

There's a lot ofI played this game for a while in open beta, and I've played it for a few hours now that it's launched. It's really fun. There's a lot of variation of heroes to pick from, and many more will definitely added in time. The lore around the game is also really interesting, with short animations and graphic novels being released that adds on to the story. The gameplay is really smooth, with each hero having unique abilities and interesting quirks. The game feels pretty balanced overall, but can be really frustrating when things doesn't go your way. Some heroes can feel overpowered at times, but every hero has at least a few heroes that can easily counter them. So the game is really skill based, so competitive gameplay should be interesting in the future. Overall I will give the game a 9/10 because it is such a polished and fun game, however I would love to see some more gameplay modes, maybe some game types that will make the matches last around 20 minutes, at least for competitive in the future.… Expand

   Too many imbalances. I cant see how people can score this a 8+. Two of the tanks can 1 shot... while having 3 times as much health asToo many imbalances. I cant see how people can score this a 8+. Two of the tanks can 1 shot... while having 3 times as much health as everybody else. Most of the heroes have an ult which is basically a cheap kill button...
   
   Two have auto aim ults, really Blizzard? and most have an ult that will guarantee 3 kills at least.. Then we have a healer than can resurrect all nearby downed heroes instantly undoing a lot of work with 1 button... Tbh I feel the ultimate abilities ruin what could be a great game.
   
   This game does not stand a chance of surpassing games like TF2, while it contains an I WIN button for every hero.… Expand

   The game is perfect.
   On a gameplay level it's perfect and balancing is only a problem for a short time after a hero launches.
