Overwatch is something special at this moment of time. A game that looks at modern gaming in the face and says "Screw You!!!". It is a game that remembers what gaming is about, it is inclusive without being condescending and allows for all types of player, at any level to get in and feel like equals.

Despite Blizzard's untested pedigree in the realm of shooters, they have managed to craft one of the best entries in this generation. As a critic a big part of my work is to find flaws, and I had a tough job with this game. 'Overwatch' is loud, it's fast, it's audacious, and it is a welcome shot in the arm in a flagging genre.

Rich cast of characters, expertly designed maps, very deep and yet smooth FPS gameplay, strong and steady servers, That's waht happens when Blizzard makes a shooter.

OverWatch بی شک از آن دست عناوینی است که تا سال ها بعد سرورهای آن در زمره شلوغ ترین سرورهای بازی های آنلاین قرار دارد. بازی براساس توانایی تحسین برانگیز بلیزارد در عین شوتر بودن، رگه هایی از یک تجربه عمیق نقش آفرینی را نیز ارائه می دهد. اورواچ با وجود ارائه یک تنوع غیرقابل باور در ویژگی ها و توانایی های شخصیت ها، تعادل و بالانس بسیار خوبی را در خود برقرار کرده است و رسیدن به این سطح کیفی با این حجم از تنوع را شما در کمتر اثری می توانید مشاهده کنید.

Overwatch’s unique style and excellent gameplay is a refreshing take on the team FPS with a positive attitude and a fantastic multiplayer experience. For me, the new king of multiplayer FPS.

Overwatch is unlike anything else on the Xbox One and PS4. Yes, Battleborn exists and I've enjoyed that game for what it is and even reviewed it positively (you can read that here) But it'd be incredulous to not admit that Overwatch just brings something 'special' to the genre that makes it stand out from other shooters of a similar nature. Personally, I'd even go as far as calling it the most enjoyable multiplayer shooter on console to date. That's not to say that other multiplayer shooters have been bad; they certainly haven't but the Pixar-grade visuals mixed with everything else that makes Overwatch so great just puts it above the fray compared to other shooters. If you're looking to get some genuine fun out of a multiplayer game then you can't go wrong with Overwatch.

Overwatch is not typically my kind of game. Not by any measure. But the fact that I've been having so much fun with it that I've been playing it over some other games that I worship (but can't quite mention yet) is testament to just how well Blizzard has done with this one. Bravo guys – someone has finally created a shooter I care about enough to actually want to play after finishing the review.

Overwatch has all the glitz and polish expected of a Blizzard game, with all the usual underlying quality. It is highly unlikely that this game will go under or stop being supported, as well. However, its volume of content is a bit questionable for a game that costs $40 to even play. With that said, every other aspect shines, and is helped heavily by its unique MOBA-esque character system and the ability to switch in the middle of a map. It has been said that new champions and the like will be free, and if that's true, Overwatch will only climb uphill.

Overwatch is a punch to the face for multiplayer shooters. It mingles quick-fix, objective-based gameplay with a deep tactical core and intelligent meta, forming a game that is simply perfect in short bites and thoroughly satisfying to play for hours on end.

If you have online capabilities and don't own Overwatch, you're missing out! Simple as that.

Overwatch is an addictive and well designed team-based multiplayer game with a bright future featuring a remarkably diverse set of classes, though competitive mode currently undermines the light-hearted nature of the game.

But even with the admittedly enjoyable boss fights, all the letdowns of Mutants in Manhattan gave me an impression that this was just another rushed game. The mechanics were simple to understand; but it surely lacked the local co-op mode, and missing the satisfying achievement that each hack n' slash / beat 'em up game should always have.

Overwatch is an extremely polished Hero Shooter and looks absolutely lovely. Teamwork is important and encourages interaction with your teammates. With Overwatch, Blizzard has delivered another masterpiece.

Overwatch is a special game, and as Overwatch 2 is essentially a complete rework that will carry your progress over there is no reason to not give it a try if you haven’t already. It goes on sale for $20 in the US quite often and solo or especially with friends it will be well worth it. The mix of frenetic PvP and PvE content, wide variety of modes, and excellent roster of heroes have made this one of my favorite games of all time.

Although its price may seem salty for now compared to its content, I believe that Overwatch will be very rich in content in the future. Even as we follow the story of the game from animations and visual novels, Overwatch, which comes against different and interesting heroes, is a must-experience work.

Overwatch is everything I wished for since good ol' Quake & Enemy Territory: a fast-paced, straight forward team shooter with a great, quick gunplay and some objective-based team-action. Every hero has its purpose and should serve every skill-level ranging from shooter veterans to beginners. Thanks to free new heroes, maps, events and game modes, Blizzard also makes sure to keep long time players entertained and excited.

Overwatch is brilliant at what it does and thrives on not only a unique style, but a fresh approach to team objective first person shooter games.

Overwatch is a load of fun that anyone can pick up and play. It's one of the reasons that 9 million people played in the beta and are still playing now.
