Overwatch is the name of an international task force of heroes that restored peace in a world devastated by the war decades long ago. Their influence has dissapeared over the years and now the world is in conflict again, old and new heroes answer to the call to fight and prove their worth once more. But Overwatch is also the competitive FPS developed by Blizzard which features fights between teams of 6 players. Multiplayer only, you will have to pick a hero among around 20 and make sure your team is well-rounded in order to win. There are several archetypes of heroes: tanks, supports, defensive and offensive heroes, who each have a few specific skills to use. You obviously want to make sure your team has enough offensive or defensive heroes to have the best chance to win the game. Team setups should vary depending on the game mode such as Payload, where you have to escort a vehicle up to a certain delivery point before time runs out, and Point Capture, in which you need to either attack and capture points on the map, or defend them, depending on which team you are. Although those 2 are the only game modes so far, 2 more game modes will be available at launch. Ranked games are planned as well, probably for solo and team rankings, but yet again no official word about it. After several beta phases, Overwatch is scheduled to launch on May 24th 2016 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, though there will be no cross-platform. 3 different editions will be available: digital (PC only), the « Origins » edition featuring a few goodies, and the collector edition.

Overwatch is a defiantly hands on Game! I highly suggest people who love team Fortress 2, to play this game, incredible Graphics!, Amazing Characters, Loot Boxes, you can pay for them or earn them buy Levelling up and completing Arcade Matches, By winning! I recommend everyone who enjoys Shooter Games and give Overwatch a shot it won't hurt you

long time tf2 veteran, overwatch really did fi the void after i stopped paying tf2 after i discovered LoL. its a perfect mixture between my top 2 games ever. While tf2 is too movement and aim based and LoL is too ability use based overwatch is neither and is the perfect mix between the 2, 2 bad i won’t be able to buy it at release and play with my friends :/. and i would like to mention that i really enjoyed junkrat in the beta, one of the best hero designs' blizzard has diliverd to us.

Me and my friends tried out the Overwatch beta and liked it. Then I did some Google searches, found out about how the game was made, the lore, and the great animated videos. Now I've fallen in love and must play Overwatch. I can't wait to to kill and heal you all in Overwatch. See you there!

I was never attracted to the fps genre of games and i was always a big fan of mobas ( League of legends and Heroes of the storm particularily ) and honestly after trying Overwatch in the beta I felt in love with an fps game for the 1st time. it has many characteristics of the gameplay from mobas ( abilities on cooldowns, ultimate spells, heroes...). But unlike Mobas Overwatch is fast paced ! second best thing is that the lore of overwatch is sooooooo amazing i always loved blizzard's lores

This games audio was the first thing that really shocked me as I'd never played a game where there was so much detail put into small audio details such as footsteps and the distant call of a hero when he/she used their ult. Hearing is now a critical part of playing the game which intrigues me into wanting to play the game!! Good luck to you all :)

Cool game, cool setting and art, heroes very nice for all tastes, i like localization for my language, blizzard always do quality games, aomthing new in genre moba+fps, really nice animation thought it will be worse by videos. Really like the game and want to play. But price for our country is so big so i can't to bought it for that price.

All my friends play it, I tried the game during the free weekend, but I'm still too light in the wallet to buy it... Nevertheless I recommend, the game is nervous, graphically very beautiful, and the gameplay is rather varied and interesting (the skillcap goes up quite high)

A just excellent game that I could test for the open beta. I played some fps but certainly not of this caliber and I want to farm this beautiful game!
