Reviews of Overwatch highlight a mix of enjoyment and frustration. Players praise the game's fun and engaging experience, especially when played with friends, and appreciate new updates like added heroes and 6v6 matches. However, there is frequent criticism of the matchmaking system, which many find unbalanced, and the requirement to link a phone number for account creation is a common source of frustration. While the game is seen to be on the upswing, especially compared to previous updates, it still faces challenges that impact player experience.

Positive Points

  • Many players express that Overwatch is fun and engaging, particularly when playing with friends. The game is often compared positively to other hero shooters.
  • There is appreciation for the addition of new heroes, maps, and quality of life improvements, with some players noting that these changes have revived interest in the game.
  • The reintroduction of 6v6 matches and the return to features from earlier Overwatch iterations are well-received, fostering a sense of nostalgia and renewed enjoyment among long-time fans.

    • Negative Points

  • Criticisms frequently target the game's matchmaking system, with many players experiencing unbalanced matches and feeling that games are often one-sided.
  • Some players are frustrated with the requirement to link a phone number to create an account, which has led to login issues.

    • Mixed Points

  • While many find the new hero additions and changes exciting, some players feel that these new characters are overpowered, affecting the game's balance.
  • The game's transition back to its roots (removing Overwatch 2's changes) is appreciated for bringing back classic elements, but some players miss features that were promised or initially introduced with Overwatch 2, such as the PvE mode.

    • Common Themes

  • The notion of Overwatch having a comeback is a common sentiment, with many players noting improvements since earlier updates of Overwatch 2.
  • There is a strong emphasis on Overwatch being most enjoyable when played with friends, highlighting the social aspect of the game.
