In a time of global crisis, an international task force of heroes banded together to restore peace to a war-torn world: OVERWATCH.

Overwatch ended the crisis, and helped maintain peace in the decades that followed, inspiring an era of exploration, innovation, and discovery. But, after many years, Overwatch’s influence waned, and it was eventually disbanded.
Now, conflict is rising across the world again, and the call has gone out to heroes old and new. Are you with us?

Love it
Despite some stereotyping it as a kids game due to the art style, it’s is a genuinely fun shooter with lots of lore and a huge array of playable characters, with a great team of developers, behind it

My favourite game of the generation
This is by far my favourite game of the generation and that's saying a lot because there are some amazing games I've played.

It may not be for everyone. There is no single player story campaign. The story and lore are things you kinda have to work out for yourself through voice lines, online comics, animated shorts etc

There will always be a character for someone whether your a medic or a tank protecting everyone or someone who goes running in guns blazing. You have a character who uses a jump jet and shoots rockets but then you have a robot who can turn itself into a turret.

You can play this game for hours and hours and it's an easy game to get into for all newcomers. You used to call of duty? There's a character there with an assault rifle, you got snipers and shotgun users. There are 27 heroes to choose from right now.

And the beauty of this is, no paid dlc. All maps and characters in the future are 100% free. There is no leveling up characters so everyone is on an even playing field. Only reason you level up is to win loot boxes. I know theres a huge controversy surrounding them but you only get comsrtics and they are fun to collect.

The game itself is 6v6 with different modes. Control, escort payload, capture. The usual stuff, then some extra stuff in arcade like mystery heroes where you become a random hero everytime you die, 3v3 elimination, death match. You have the usually quick play games but once you become level 25 you can start playing competitive if that's your thing.

It's a game you are constantly getting better at. Blizzard are constantly tweaking it with patches to keep it fresh. Plus there's a new character coming soon which is a hamster in a mech!!! What's not to love about that????

I do recommend playing it. Its fun to play on your own AND in a group.

Moira main over here! (the one that actually spams healing orbs) 😊

I fell in love with Overwatch from the very first time I played it. I enjoy all heroes to be quite honest. Apart from Doomfist.

There is a lot of characters to choose from, and getting better at all of them is a constant challenge, so it never gets boring.

Competitive play can be a bit toxic, so playing with friends is way more fun, but you can always make friends in game as well.

I love the arcade mode, where you can play different modes such as Mystery Heroes, or Deathmatches. Also, every week you get loot boxes for winning games there, so that's cool too. When we're on the loot boxes, it's worth to mention that each hero has amazing skins, emotes, voice chats and highlight intros that you can either buy or collect from loot boxes.

Different maps and map modes are available and unlocked. The achievements and stats page is amazing as well - the details on the stats is really cool!

Playability (0 more)
Connection times (0 more)
Great looking, fast paced game with a high playability score for me personally. Easy to pick up when you only have a bit of spare time Each game is relatively short and easy to get Into.
Rewarded with cosmetic items for levelling up but its not pay to winwhich is a winner in my eyes.
Lots of character choice with something for everyone.
Connection times can be a little slow and can at times be dropped from a game easily.
All in all a great likable game that can be played for many hours.
