Overwatch Reviews
Overwatch is a masterpiece. A dizzying amalgam of unique characters, stunning style, and compellingly dynamic action.
Despite only a handful of maps, no story, and no ranking system upon release, Overwatch more than makes up for all of that with its masterful focus on teamwork. The game is clearly designed with teamwork at its heart, which is a major strength, but can also lead to frustrations for any lone wolf gamers.
It's not flawless, but Overwatch is still one of the best new multiplayer shooters to arrive in years.
Blizzard's take on the first-person shooter sees a generosity of character accompanied by beautifully deep mechanics.
There's certainly room for improvement, but Overwatch is already a superb team-based shooter full of memorable multiplayer moments.
Vibrant and endlessly entertaining. Whether you just want to play a few quick rounds or settle in for hours with friends, Overwatch delivers with polished panache
Overwatch can be great, but needs friends to back it up
Overwatch meshes vastly different ideas and schools of thought into one frantic, exhilarating, layered shooter.
It could use a campaign, a few more game modes and refinement of its RNG system, but none of that distracts from the fact that Overwatch is an superb effort that will entertain players for an ungodly amount of time.
Overwatch is like going for an evening of speed dating and realizing everyone you meet is marriage material. I'll stare at the character select screen before each match, unable to decide which hero I want to play because I want to play them all.
Overwatch is a game that I know I'm going to be playing for a long time. It's one of the most appealing, polished titles any developer — even Blizzard — has ever made. Other online games make you feel like a player. Overwatch makes you feel like a hero.
An incredible game and should be enjoyed by everyone, and the most fun I've had with a shooter in years. Brimming with personality, the only concerns are longevity, and how dependent it is on other players to make the game fun.
The more you play Overwatch the more you realise Blizzard thought of basically everything you might criticise it for.
A great title that only needs to have more content (which is on the way for free) to not have any type of blemish. A vice suitable for fans of action games, but also enjoyed by the less common of the genre.

It has been a very long time since I've felt this much passion for a game. Overwatch is a perfect storm. It's a new IP, looks gorgeous, plays phenomenally and singlehandedly rekindled my desire to play a genre of game I thought I'd left behind at this point.
As it is right now, Overwatch remains an achievement in multiplayer-only games, offering a dynamic, new playstyle with both interesting characters and an interesting world. While it may lack some slight components, there are more than enough Heroes and maps to make the game worthwhile, whether you're a casual player jumping in for the first time, or a veteran shooter player needing a new experience. More importantly, the gameplay is always fluid and fun — it is hard to find another game in this (or any genre) that is consistently this enjoyable. Overwatch is a master class in the class-based shooting genre and gaming itself.
At $40 Overwatch is easy to grab and dive into, with Blizzard promising the first content update coming for free in June, which will introduce Competitive Play. We’re hoping for more heroes and maps to be added in over time, but as it stands Overwatch is a ton of fun to play and explore, and is only going to get better over time.

A great multiplayer game full of charisma. It allows you to change characters to face the wide variety of situations that can occur in combat and technically it is a joy. Too bad it doesn't have a main campaign.

Overwatch has managed to live up to the hype, and that's saying a lot when we're dealing with a Blizzard game. It has managed to get out of the pigeonhole to which the press and the public have condemned it in recent months, and it has proven to be a multiplayer with its own style and some very remarkable ideas in favor of team play. It does not have a campaign, but it does not lack a good story, Overwatch is the best multiplayer game so far this year and a strong candidate to continue being so when 2016 ends.
