Fantastic lineup and gameplay, but lacks in modes, party options, and a context-providing campaign.

Overwatch is a fantastic game from top to bottom. The relatively small map selection does little to detract from a game where every character is fun, unique, and important, and every fight is a dynamic, constantly evolving game of battlefield control.

You're going to be hearing a lot about Overwatch for a long time to come, not just because the game is stellar, but because of Blizzard's incredibly long track record of supporting their games post launch. You don't need to wait for a sale, the game's full price carries a ton of value both looking at today and with what lies ahead for the game. If you aren't already playing Overwatch, you are missing out.

Sound design is at it's best when you don't really notice it, you just absorb it – and that's exactly the case with Overwatch; I'd go as far to say that its sound design is revolutionary

There's a great balance between depth and accessibility as well as the right amount of reliance on skill, and moments of magic that make Overwatch well worth playing. Combined with Blizzard's penchant for supporting games for longer than usual periods of time, make it one you should definitely check out.

From its commendably inclusive roster to its varied, dramatic action, it's brimming with an welcoming liveliness that's all too rare in games, multiplayer or otherwise.

Overwatch is a near masterpiece in the multiplayer genre, offering a refined and highly tuned experience to veterans and newcomers alike. The memorable cast of characters combined with the beautifully designed worlds makes Overwatch a visual pleasure all on its own Combine this with the excellent combat and Blizzard may have made one of the best multiplayer games in the last decade. Whether it thrives to the length of the games like Team Fortress 2 is yet to be seen, but Overwatch won’t stop us from dumping hundreds of hours into it anytime soon.

‎Overwatch is a tremendous game, with an audiovisual section of heart attack and varied, balanced and very charismatic characters. However, it has very few game modes and, although it will be expanded in the future for free, paying 60€ currently can weigh a lot. Of course, it's a gamble.‎

By creating Overwatch, Blizzard showed that it never sacrifices the quality of its games for any other factor. Overwatch is an ideal combination of all elements that can turn a game into a masterpiece.

While it may not seem like it, Overwatch is a Blizzard title that is pulled to the smallest detail in every way.

Overwatch is a brick-and-mortar candidate for the online shooter of the year title. Blizzard can take care of its positions and we can be sure that the company will develop the title with numerous updates, take care of balance and offer players unforgettable tournaments.

I think Overwatch is essential for every FPS fan; It is the game I will dedicate to the next few years and I have no doubt that it will last more than a decade. Overwatch is fun, exciting, dynamic; accessible for beginners, but extremely difficult to master. It is a benchmark for future installments for its great attention to detail and commitment to delivering the best player experience, on and off the battlefield. Without further ado, I do not hesitate to recommend it widely for being indomitable, charismatic and most importantly: fun.

So what I have found while playing Overwatch is that once again Blizzard is still going about game development like they have before. The game is incredibly polished with a unique set of heroes that are evenly counter balanced.
