Can't Beat Gamers Club Price
I got this for nearly the same price as what Blizzard is selling the regular Overwatch (not origins) for thanks to my gamers club discount. Plus you get a physical copy. I love it This game is awesome, my friends wanted me to play with them on battle.net and now we are enjoying many matches together, would recommend - the heroes are fun and it's simple enough to just jump in and play whenever!

This game is still a blast - 1 year later!
I bought this game a year ago and I still play it all the time. The frequency of updates with new content, characters, and special events and is great! It's a shooter that is pretty easy to pick up, but challenging enough to keep you interested in the long term. I like how casual it feels and the humor in the game's voice lines, emotes, character abilities, etc. is a nice touch. I seriously love this game! You don't have to buy expansions or map packs. You can buy loot boxes if you want or just earn them. The matchmaking can be kind of slow - that's probably my biggest criticism of the game. I have a really powerful gaming PC that I built, but the game does not require it. The minimum/recommended specs are not demanding, so it runs great on a modestly powered PC (I know based on my friends' PCs). Of course the more powerful your machine, you'll appreciate extra detail and it will just feel smoother and faster, but you can say that about any game. In the last year, I can't remember having a game error or glitch, unexpected server downtime, or bad experience. It's refreshing the level of polish in this game - something seldom seen in an industry where garbage is rushed out to meet a release date, and later patched. Seriously, buy this game and have fun!

Amazing game, but requires patience
I bought this game at launch for the xbox, then a year plus later, I bought a PC. If you're doing the same, the game will come to you quickly once you learn the mechanics. Problem is, if you're completely new to Overwatch, you have to give it some time. Try a handful of heroes and see what works. Amazing game if you give it the chance...and like multiplayer games.
