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 still an extremely fun, enjoyable package regardless, with regular events, a deep competitive scene, and fun, addicting gameplay, I'm sure that Overwatch is bound to stick around for years to come...Possibly as long as Team Fortress 2, infact.

Overwatch could very well come to dominate the hero shooter genre. There's plenty of room for improvement around the edges, but the core is strong enough to make this another huge hit for Blizzard.

Overwatch is the new dimension of competitive play. A step forward in the genre, an hypertrophic heir to Team Fortress: each of the 21 heroes represent a class, and the concept of asymmetrical balancing is just brilliant. On the other side, the game is not that fun if you play it alone, and the absence of ranked match is unacceptable.

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.

It's not flawless, but Overwatch is still one of the best new multiplayer shooters to arrive in years.

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.

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 easily one of the best shooters that's been released platform wide in years and it's worth being in your library

Overwatch released with swords honed, ready to slash the multiplayer opposition. Future releases offer continued enjoyment and possibly the growth I desire, while current models are filled stunning movement and gameplay mechanics. For the first time the lack of currently released story elements excites me; it adds a tantalizing mystery to the plot. I've already spent more time speculating on the Overwatch universe than any other game. This could be a side effect of playing too much Dark Souls 3, but unlike Dark Souls 3, who doesn't provide concise answers to questions of lore, Overwatch will periodically release new videos to fill in gaps in story. Overwatch breaths and bleeds battle contention to the point we know this game was made for and by FPS fans. For this and everything above, I will stand a hero by Overwatch's side till it disappears into video game history.

‎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.‎

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

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.

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 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.
