Overwatch is a team-based multiplayer online first-person shooter video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It was released in May 2016 for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Overwatch assigns players into two teams of six, with each player selecting from a roster of over 20 characters, known in-game as "heroes", each with a unique style of play, whose roles are divided into four general categories: Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support.

A beautiful game with an engaging world and an utterly miserable play experience. Blizzard put together a functioning product but the lack of institutional knowledge for making a shooter is painfully evident: Overwatch is less a challenge of your shooter skills than it is of making sense of a horrendous heap of visual noise as abilities are over-animated and the flat surfaces keep everybody crossing in front of you. These are real skills to test, but not exciting ones.

I hate the game now, but it became my new go-to multiplayer shooter in an age where I didn't have one already, and when I thought I would never get into these types of games again ever since growing out of my Counter-Strike phase many years ago. The creativity in the character design is still unmatched. But, the online community is toxic. Any game where some rando can ask me "are you literally fucking braindead" for picking a character and NOT get punished for it is just not worth my time.

Shined with that usual Blizzard polish, Overwatch is a stand-out example of hero shooters in the last couple decades. Interesting and unique characters all with wildly different mechanics keep the gameplay fresh and interesting for a long time. However, lack of varying game modes and a single player experience hold the game down.

Never was into TF2, so I don't have much to compare it to. Even then, Overwatch is a whole lot of blah. The map design is overly flat with the most basic amount of verticality imaginable. They also give defenders the advantage on certain maps. Ultimates are too centralized as a deciding factor in average matches which makes the balance annoying and stifles playmaking in an obnoxious way. The actual shooting itself is overly lenient, with large hitboxes and boring weapon design.

in terms of how much value I've gotten out of a video game purchase, this might be at the top of the list. the inherent limitations of multiplayer-only games prevent this from being one of my very favorite games ever, but it's absolutely one of my favorite ways to kill 30 minutes.
