Critic Reviews for Overwatch
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.
Blizzard's take on the first-person shooter sees a generosity of character accompanied by beautifully deep mechanics.
It's not flawless, but Overwatch is still one of the best new multiplayer shooters to arrive in years.
There's certainly room for improvement, but Overwatch is already a superb team-based shooter full of memorable multiplayer moments.
The Street Fighter of online shooters is an inspired new take on familiar ideas, that proves personality really does go a long way.
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
