"Just as Team Fortress 2 burst onto the scene and captivated so many with its charm, and accessible gameplay, Overwatch is poised to do the same with its sharp gameplay and likable characters. There’s little doubt that the next great class-based shooter has arrived." -- Twinfinite 100% Review.

_______________

"Overwatch is a fast, fun, and fresh take on the class-based shooter. Blizzard has made sure its first new IP in 17 years is polished to perfection." -- The Escapist 100% Review.

_______________

"You can't help but take note of the attention to detail immediately, even during the first few seconds of booting it up and watching a random character emote on the title screen. This arena shooter (not a MOBA) looks, sounds, and feels great, with the polish of a Pixar film without feeling overly childish. That extends to every facet of the experience, from its 60 FPS frame rate (even on consoles), beautiful locations, and insanely detailed character models." -- Destructoid 100% Review.

_______________

"Overwatch is an amazing experience. It’s fresh and consistently fun, with matches that are great in random groups, but astonishingly good when played with friends. Blizzard has taken its masterful art of polishing and perfection to the team shooter, and things will never be the same." -- Game Informer 100% Review.

It's my hope that this game gets more attention around here. If there's a place for both Uncharted multiplayer --AND-- this in your game playing repertoire, I'd --LOVE-- to see some of us get together online to play!

**I EVEN WENT OUT AND PURCHASED A HEADSET AND A MIC TO FULLY EXPERIENCE ALL THIS GAME HAS TO OFFER!!**

There's two things I want to --STRESS-- because they are the things that tend to make people shy away from games like this:

(1) Although there are many characters and they all have their uses in battle, you don't have to have all these roles fulfilled to have a successful team. You can all play as Offensive characters, and although it may be tougher, you can still win. The game is sublime when you are playing on a well-balanced team, acting in unison --but-- it's --JUST-- as much fun when you play on a team of all randoms and are just out to have a good time!

(2) Blizzard has gone out of their way to make this a good-sportsmanship type of shooter! At the end of the match, based on performance, the game will replay the most skillful act that took place during the round. There's --ALSO-- a voting system where you can elect the MVP... Thing is, you can vote for either side! You can congratulate a team-mate --OR-- applaud an opposing team member for awesome play! Top-notch move, Blizzard!!

**I was elected the MVP for 4 matches in a row due to my Support play-style and healing an ungodly amount during some INTENSE battles!!**

This is Zenyatta, and he is my character of choice for the moment! There's 21 others **for now** their play-styles are all diverse and insanely balanced. Chances are, if you've ever loved a character in any FPS before, you're going to find someone similar and take to them almost immediately!

I might get this if I can entice a friend of mine to play together.

The game is soooo good, it's not even necessary, but playing with a group of friends... I can see it becoming a Team Fortress like activity for tons of gamers and their buds.

Yup, once in a generation kind of quality right here! It's --RIGHT-- up there with the best, right from Day One!  GASP

As fantastic as Plants vs. Zombies turned out to be, this game is on a whole other level and hooked me from the very first second!!

It's just something you HAVE TO try for yourself!!  GASP

Game is a lot of fun. I don't see it replacing my Rainbow Six Siege love anytime soon, and any comparison with Team Fortress 2 isn't in the games favor either, but it's dope. Haven't settled on a tank yet, but my assault is Soldier 76, I like using mercy for medics, and of the defense characters I like using widowmaker a lot, though I will bother to learn mei. She's got a bitchin ult that can swing entire matches.

I really enjoyed the beta and would love to pick this up in the near future. There's always that special something in Blizzard games. Those folks over there are extremely talented.

Just entered a match where no one wanted to be the 'Tank' character. I failed to mention before: You can switch your character during the match by holding down the 'Square' button. I switched to Reinhardt.

Giant, Knight-like character that swings a huge Hammer as his primary attack. His L1 special is a 'Rush' attack that almost assuredly kills his opponent if he pins them to a wall. R1 throws out a Fiery-energy wave. L2 throws up a huge Barrier that can shield your entire team! Perfect for blocking projectiles --and-- taking out the pesky Turrets everyone likes to build or become!!

This is going to be a problem... Everytime I look at my PS4 now, all I wanna do is play Overwatch!

Not Street Fighter V.

Not Mortal Kombat XL.

Not Uncharted.

Not Dark Souls.

Not Doom.

Not even Senran Kagura...!  GASP

This could literally be a 'forever' game!!  GASP

Blizzard is just so good at what they do, a lot of the time you'll just take their greatness for granted. Check out this pic, specifically at the right side where it says 'Team Tips'... What this is, is a helpful, useful and completely brilliant automatic team evaluating tool that will tell you what your team is lacking, has too much of or duplicates to your disadvantage! The ability to switch your character on the fly for quick balancing just lends even more to Overwatch being the most user-friendly and accessible game of this type yet!!

And, wouldn't it be helpful if, as you learn the maps, there was a path with animated arrows directing you to the target area to defend or attack... What's that? They do EXACTLY that?! That's BRILLIANT!!  Nyaa
