What is the last game you've played that combines competitive and fun ? A game that offers a concept like this is not an easy matter. Why? Because if designed too seriously, most gamers will wage their competitive spirit bigger, making a game too difficult to enjoy as a game that is actually designed to just have fun. Can not believe it? Just look at the MOBA game communities likefy League of Legends and DOTA 2, or even like Call of Duty and Battlefield that make victory a priority. The process that makes you have to end up with a defeat is something you never want to feel at all. But believe it or not, Overwatch changed the paradigm. It became one of the FPS games that in our eyes, managed to combine the word fun and competitive in the same room.

Even if you had time to try out the open beta which took place in early May 2016 yesterday, you can even be called already tested what it is Overwatch because Blizzard itself shared all the content of the final version without holding back there, but with limited game time and nothing more. Almost all the impressions we have written there remain valid in the final version with all our amazement at the elements of gameplay that he offers,, Some of the new things that are included are just plots that are offered in this game as well as various cosmetic items. The question now is how worthy is he ogled with the AAA price injected by Blizzard in it? That will be the focus of this review...

So, what is actually offered by Blizzard? Why do we call it a multiplayer game which is able to execute the concept that he offers with extraordinary? This review will discuss it more deeply for you.

Overwatch is indeed a multiplayer game, but that did not mean Blizzard did not offer a strong story line to be the basis why various characters with special abilities that come from various countries in the world suddenly engage in a massive battle action for an obscure purpose. Although not significantly affect how your gameplay experience, but it becomes extra content that can be considered quite interesting. Especially considering the setting that took place on earth itself.

Humans can not live comfortably In the future, The rapid technological development, especially from Artificial technology that helped human tasks, just make people have to fight with the machines that they created their own. A global-scale conflict called "Omnic Crisis", where thedfse robots began to threaten human life occurred. Humans also tried to protect themselves by building an international special forces with the best people called "Overwatch" to handle it. Omnic Crisis successfully dealt with Overwatch to grow as one of the world's major peace powers for the last 30 years. But this power without mastery made people see it as a threatening force.

Because just like humans in general, this power was successful in making some troops Overwatch fell into a vortex of greed. Several cases of corruption, rebellion, and regulatory mistakes ultimately make Overwatch precisely provoke more suspicion from various countries in the world. The result? The organization broke apart with some important figures in it deciding to take their own path. That at least is a common story offered by Overwatch, because in the end Blizzard also mix a unique story braid for every character that exists. Not much offered from the game itself, but released separately as a freelance movie via sites like Youtube. As an example? Short film that tells of the past and blood relations between Hanzo and Genji, two characters from Japan.

Of course, this plot has no effect whatsoever on your gameplay. Regardless of whether the status ends as a protagonist or antagonist character from the side of the story, there is no prohibition to combine these characters in the same team. Something of interest to gamers that Blizzard offers a story base that can also be further exploited to introduce more characters in the future.
