Customers admire Overwatch's smooth and intuitive gameplay, along with its portability and surprisingly good performance on the Switch.

The large download size was also noted as a potential drawback.

My daughter and I love to play Overwatch together. So it was a no-brainer to snag a copy when it came out on the Switch. It's still Overwatch, and it's still awesome. The only knock is that the controls aren't as tight if you're playing it on the go. It's a minor complaint, given that I still get to play Overwatch on a plane, or in a hotel. It's absolutely a great buy and a great game. Just do it.

Loved the fact that overwatch was an easy game to get onto when playing on the Xbox and playing on the switch is no different but even better cause you can literally play anywhere and everything stays the same of course controls are a little different but graphics are very good and once you get use to it. It’s perfect. I take it everywhere and I’m able to play even in handheld mode

Overwatch has been running strong for approximately 3 years now. I've noticed the Switch port does have some inconsistencies loading characters during game play. It usually happens at the beginning of each match. The graphics have been scaled back, but that was to be expected and runs decently at 30 fps. Overall, a great game with decent performance on the Switch.

If you are into 3D shooters and looking for an online 3D shooter looking no further. Overwatch for PC and other platforms is one of the top online competitive shooters out there and they brought it to Nintendo switch. Great frame rate and not dumb down from the original versions on the other platforms. Go for it you'll be happy you did

This was a great buy! The graphics are so amazing on the switch! I couldn’t tell the difference between my PS counsel. I can not stop playing this game, this is how much fun you will have. I have waited a long time for this to arrive to Nintendo, and it has finally arrived with no disappointment. It’s a must have!!!

Overwatch on switch is a triumph display of what the tiny device is capable of. I love playing Overwatch on the go. At the airport, in the library, or even at the cafe. It's the best time waster at the dentist office. Come on guys let's go!

Baking able to Switch from docked to handheld really shows how much greater a game can be. I played Paladins for a while and it felt natural but Overwatch is the clear better choice.
The game runs smooth and though it can take sometime to find a match every now and then, I don’t get tired of shooting my way to the objective.

Overwatch runs well on Switch, with some caveats. It's capped at 30fps, textures aren't as detailed as the PC or console versions, and you've got to start from level 1 because no stats can transfer from any existing accounts. But if you've never played before on another console, then this is worth the price.

Overwatch on the switch is a good value for the on-sale Black Friday price. The game is a good buy at below $20 since it comes with a switch online code. The port runs fine but be warned; it only runs at 30 frames per second, making it graphically inferior to the PC, Xbox, or PS4 versions.

This is probably a bit more of Best Buy’s advertising fault than the actual manufacturer but maybe not. I only bought this for the physical copy and the price. Yet there’s no physical copy. I went back to double check the order etc. it says physical cartridge but the game case pictured says Game card not inside. Game play is okay. Graphics are actually really good. I’m not a hardcore gamer so I find the idea of having to play online with other players until I get the hang of something off putting. I’d rather play a story mode version until I’ve got controls and gameplay down. That’s not necessarily the games fault or problem it’s mine.

I bought this to play online with a friend. It’s a little confusing, but I think with practice and learning the different players you should get a hang of it. There’s no cartridge in the box, just the online code. Also got 3 months membership. Got in on sale, so it was a no brainer!

Picked this up for my daughter along with the Nintendo Switch. She's a big fan of Overwatch, but isn't always near a pc where she can play it.
I couldn't discern any difference between this version and the online version from Blizzard.

I played this game on my PlayStation but got rid of it and had been really wanting to play it again and decided to buy it in the switch and the controls take some time to get used to but other than that it’s like riding a bike. Team Sombra!

Most people down this version since they had to downgrade graphics for it to be playable, but is just as enjoyable as other consoles and carries the added portable bonus. If you were a fan or want a FPS with a few different aspects on how to play, I suggest giving it a go.
