Overwatch - Game of the Year Edition - PlayStation 4

I would recommend the system with the games I purchased too anyone. Best system out in the market.

Overwatch is definitely one of the most popular games of the last few years, raking in significant attention and exciting a lot of the gaming populous. It's a fairly easy to understand shooter game, but affords a great deal of nuance in learning the ropes and finding what characters you're good at. However, some major drawbacks. The loot box system available in Overwatch is definitely predatory in nature, although not to the extent a lot of mobile games or other console games take it to. If for whatever reason you're letting children play this game, be aware of that. Most skins and other cosmetics can be purchased through in game currency, but a select few are locked into seasonal loot boxes which I find a little scummy. I'd also advise, depending on your level of play, consider finding a group of friends to play with, or simply don't use voice chat. Overwatch, like any popular game, has a vocal and toxic userbase. It's much more fun to joke around in a party with friends than listen to 13 year olds call you slurs online. The Game of the Year edition includes a download code for 10 free loot boxes (fairly nice), and includes all the benefits of the Origin version (skins, items in StarCraft, etc...). Worth picking up on sale.

This is a really great game! It's got a good variety of characters, all of them are different and unique with different weapons and abilities. There is no campaign mode. There is also no customization or upgrades available, a few skins for each character. The maps are fantastic, ranging from North America to Asia. Everything comes in the game and any future characters or maps will be added to the game through patches!

Honestly, Blizzard has done a fantastic job with this game! There's a huge variety of characters each with unique powers and abilities that make their playstyles distinct from each other. For example, yes you could pick 76 and play a standard soldier type character. But if pick a character like Genji, who's a ninja, it's literally a COMPLETELY different game. This isn't a First Person Shooter, it goes way beyond that. This is a team based first person action game and it honestly does it better than I've seen any other game do it. Not to mention, all updates and added characters are 100% free!

Overall, Overwatch does a lot of things right. Loot boxes are cosmetic, DLC is free, and there's a lot of heroes to pick from. Matchmaking sometimes takes a while on PS4 but you eventually get into one. I want to say though that the PC version of this game is far superior and in my opinion probably has way more people playing at any given moment if matchmaking queue times are anything to go by. On PC, you get into matches fast, but its always close to or over a 5 minute wait on PS4. The game plays great, has all the same options you see on PC, lots of ways to customize how the game runs. I just personally find the PC version superior and recommend that over the PS4 version if you're trying to decide what platform to get it on. That's not to say the PS4 version isn't bad, its not at all, but if you have options, I can't recommend this over the PC version.

This game was released in 2016 but continues to be a great game for beginners to team-based first person shooter games. Blizzard continues to release new, free content to the game that continues to bring new energy and life to the game. The graphics of the game can't be beat. This compliments the variety of characters to play, all with unique abilities and play styles. This game is good for new players to FPS games because the player can choose certain characters that do not require precise aiming (Brigitte, Reinhardt, Moira, and others). Overall, still a great game and would recommend anyone to

Overwatch is an incredible achievement in multiplayer shooter design. It bobs and weaves almost perfectly between being the quick-fix adrenaline hit you might want after a long day of work, and the thoughtful, strategic multiplayer experience that becomes the center of evening-long binges with friends. It might not have the most exhaustive list of maps and modes, but it provides nearly endless opportunities for exhilarating, coordinated play, and when you’re the one at the center of it, it feels like nothing else.

I used to not want to play Overwatch but then the free to play weekend came out, and I just had to buy it. I’ve played the game for over a year now and still one of my top 3 favorite games. It isn’t pay to win like most games, and blizzard (oh how I love them so much) is always updating and adding new things. THAT IS 100% FREE. So of course I bought it again when I got a new PS4. One day I hope to work with Blizzard, but for now I’ll comtin to play their games.
