I played it for a bit over two hours at a friend's house and absolutely loved it. It's a really fun class-based shooter with great characters and lots of charm. I couldn't say how well it holds up over the long term, but I strongly suspect pretty well, and knowing Blizzard, it'll be supported for a long time.

I've got it. I'm a big TFC/TF2 fan and it's got a lot of similarities. It's pretty fun, though I think I'm hardcore enough to miss destiny a little after playing it for a while. My biggest gripe is that there is no force feedback, so I have to visually determine where I'm being shot from. There's also no warning if you are near-dead other than your smallish health bar in the bottom left of the screen.

That said, it's got a lot of complexity and potential. I'll be playing it off and on here and there. Would be a fun game to play with a big group of friends. The art style is very much like TF2. The gameplay is quite rapid, much faster than Destiny. Matches are typically 5 minutes long. Oh, and micro-transactions that may or may not make you hate it depending on where you are on those. =)

It definitely doesn't take itself too seriously, which is a plus.

Also, my 10yo loves it to pieces. There's a lot to like there.

It's crazy that you heard nothing about Overwatch. I don't even follow video games much and I couldn't avoid it — it's crossed over from 'large game release' to 'minor cultural event'.

That's how much I enjoy playing this game. Different groups of friends on different systems, and I was more than happy to oblige playing with both.

... is how I feel about it, honestly. It's a ton of fun, but I can't recall ever seeing a game more limited in content than Overwatch. To put it into perspective, the entire game was essentially in the Beta. It came included in my brother's PS4 bundle, so we have one copy (since he wasn't too enthralled with it after playing it), but it's one of those games that gets really repetitive after a bit. I likely won't be buying it for myself until it's on a flash sale or price drop.

We did get Battleborn at launch a few weeks ago, though, and that one's still fun, since content-wise, it has fewer MP maps, but it does include eight 5-player story missions. Unfortunately not too many people picked up Battleborn, but given Gearbox's history of drowning us with quality post-launch content (the first new character is already one of my favorites), I hope people give it another look.

But yeah, if it wasn't for Overwatch's characters and tons and tons of marketing, I think it would have been chewed out for the lack of content and dismal unlock system (which is entirely cosmetic, sure, but way too grindy for what it is).

Seriously. I don't think I've had this much fun with a multiplayer game ever. Halo and even Destiny have this "hardcore" feeling to them. Overwatch is just a joy to play. The shooting mechanics aren't as polished as Destiny or Halo on consoles, but it feels incredibly balanced. There's no stupid grind (unless vanity items are important to you) and the micro transactions are much like Sterling Treasure and Req Packs (Random items) so don't bother wasting your money on those. But the game is totally worth $60. It's true the maps/game types are small, but DLC is suppose to be free (as of a December statement I think). Each game is typically quick, but almost always close. 75% of my games are down to the wire.

+ fun unique characters
+ quick games
+ it doesn't suck to lose
+ free future content
+ no (real) grind

- few maps/game types
- shooting mechanics could be a little better (it just feels like it was made for PC)
- cosmetic unlocks are random (If I'm playing Mercy, give me more Mercy unlocks)

Here's a game we lost, but was awesome last stand:
