Hello fellow gamers! As I have not actually had as much play time as I wanted due to other obligatiosn - the current time spent playing OW was awesome. To start I consider myself a casual gamer where I used to be a hardcore gamer in years past - as time permits that is no longer the case. I also do not like traditional FPS games, they are all repeats and recycles and it is just not my thing. With that being said, take a look what I have to say about the game and my experience.
The game is very friendly and easy to get into for gamers' of all skill levels whether you are a noob (beginner gamer), casual gamer, a hardcore gamer, family gamer (great for kids [with parental supervision]) or anything in between. There are multiple play options and more that were announced that should be launching soon for the competitive play (ranked / hardcore gamer). If you get tired of playing against real people you can play versus the AI which has varied modes some which pose a greater challenger so you are not just steam rolling through (which you still can do if that is your thing on the easier settings). Thee is also a mode that allows you to play in a random weekly match, it has different game rules and is just for fun. You can also play private custom games with groups of friends with a built in voice chat feature which so far I have not found any flaws so you do not need to use vent, teamspeak, skype, or hangouts.
The characters are broken up into four different classes; offense, defense, tank, and support - in which you can change your character in game to meet the needs of the battlefield. If your opponents are turtling (gamers term for buckling down and defending a strategic point [think of a turtle going into its shell and not moving]) you can swap your hero to have an advantage to turn the odds. All of the characters are great and have good voice lines, they are 'friendly' for audiences of all ages.
The visuals of the game look amazing, granted I have them on ultra/extreme everything - the colors, the sounds, the themes, the maps are all beautiful with plenty of detail. Each play through you notice something different in the environment which pays homage to OW or other Blizzard games.
The story telling is so great! Which is why it has four stars out of five - because there is not enough of it and it is almost entirely out of the game. All of the story telling takes place on YouTube, comic books, or other outlets instead of the game! Which is kind of kool in its own right but the current 'shorts' that can be found on the OW YouTube page are so compelling - it irks me that there is not a single player campaign. I wish there was a single player campaign as that is generally where I am geared towards, learn the game and play it in SP then go to Multi-Player and battle your skills online. This is however a different game for a different time, today Video Game Developers / Publishers are in a trend of creating online only multiplayer games (typically FPS or MOBA's). What I am pleased with this is the money you pay for the game you get the FULL experience (aside from the single player) - you do not have to pay for DLC packs for new maps or heroes. The developer has said new heroes, maps, and other content will be added free of charge!!! That being said this is not a pay to win freemium; the only thing real money is used for is additional skins or other visual augmentations that have no affect on the battle field. If you like the game and support the developers for more content you can pay for additional skins.
The collectors edition was really nice; it included many goodies which I have opened on the first day. See my unboxing video for more details.
Here is an unboxing video of the collectors edition.

I can't stop playing this game. NO idea where Blizzard came up with the idea, it almost fell outta the sky.
Fun gameplay, its rated T for teen, but....Its not as violent or bloody gory like other shooting type games. Very Cartoonish! I have fun playing the game, especially with friends. Lots of game modes, this is an ONLINE game.
The Collectors Edition comes with a sweet Soldier 76 statue. Not very fragile, but a pretty good size. Also in the box is collectors art work, some collectable cards and a stealbook case. Very happy wth the quality and overall value of this.

This game is absolutely amazing. It has characters for any player on any level. Whether you are an experience CS:GO player or a new player to FPS games, there is a character for you to be really effective at really fast. The game really shines if you have other friends you can play with. Coordinating with friends to dominate other teams is very satisfying. Though playing with randoms can have its moments too. An amazing game that everyone should try.

The Collectors Edition of Overwatch comes with everything you could want. It comes with the Origins Edition, a Solider: 76 statue, and Artbook, a Overwatch Collectors Edition Soundtrack, some very cool Postcards and unlock able items for other Blizzard games. The only thing that I was a bit disappointed about was that it did not come with the Tracer Statue that Blizzard is currently selling.

Overwatch is an amazing game overall and the Collector's edition came with a lot of good stuff. A beautiful artbook with backstory for each of the characters in the original cast, content for other games, etc. The statue looks really nice and the box itself is good for display.

Never before has a first person shooter felt this simple yet complex. So inviting to new players, and offers so much more to new ones. It's a flat out blast, and all the collectors edition stuff makes it all that much better

This is by far the best collectors edition of a game I have purchased in a long time. The packaging was crisp, sturdy, and tasteful. The art book was only outdone by statue of soldier 76. Very well done.

Excellent First Person Shooter (FPS). Brand new for Blizzard Software. If you like games which require strategy, teamwork and balanced classes, this game is it. If you stack your team (play with friends) you'll always dominate. Lots of different game modes, Unlock cool items in a Loot Box like stances, icons and voices.
Of course you can always just join a game and Run and Gun, but that wont really get you anywhere.
Leveling system is top notch.
Easy to start and stop and pick up where you left off. Highly recommend this game. The Collectors edition is excellent because it comes with a pimp Soldier 76 statue, art work book and some other cool swag. worth every penny.

I probably have 70-80 hours in Overwatch now, and I don't think I'll put many more in. It's lost its appeal to me as a casual. I'm not someone that's going to go out and research who matches up well to who, join a clan and all this. I'd like to just jump in a room, use in game chat with whoever I'm teamed with, and have fun. The competitive nature of the game has removed a lot of the enjoyment I had.

I was getting tired of league of legend since the community is pretty toxic and game dev. decided that community opinion doesn't mean anything anymore. So, I decided to try this game out during the beta and I had a BLAST and I immediately pre-ordered the collector edition.

You pay a premium for getting a collectible 12 inch tall figurine that you cant get anywhere else. The book and the cards included are premium quality and you get a lot of extra skins, cards and others goodies for other Blizzard games in it.

If you're into games that relies heavily on teamwork then this game is for you. Closest game to this would be Team Fortress 2 so if you're a fan of that game- you'll love Overwatch!

Blizzard collector's editions are always worth it and this is no exception. With the statue, artbook, soundtrack extra DLC and steel book, more than the value paid.
