FULL REVIEW: [ Ссылка ]
Overwatch is the dumbest smart shooter you will ever play. It’s the perfect blend of tight gameplay, audio design, humour and butts.
I was initially skeptical about the game when it was in its beta stages. How stupid that was. Overwatch can enrapture and infuriate within the space of a few seconds like few other games can.
The game is simple on the outside but devilishly tactical when you look deeper. The modes are few, but the ones available entertain enough. Escort the payload, capture the objective; that’s your lot. There’s no real single-player, which is a crying shame considering the lore Blizzard has established.
However, look past how light on content it is (and the silly fucking loot boxes), and you will find great depth. Managing to squeeze the payload over the finishing line or to stop it on defence when in Overtime is gripping, exasperating, and one of many aspects of the game that keeps pulling you back.
Overwatch’s big selling points are its heroes, with each of them having their own pros and cons, and how you can use them to win against the odds. Struggling to make any ground? Switch to Reinhardt and get things moving. Need to repel the attack? Opt for Bastion and become an utter bastard.
Find a team to play with and you will discover one of the best games of the year.
9 out of 10.
