It's just FUN! (Gaming)
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:
