Product Description
The future is now. Are you with us?
Clash on the battlefields of tomorrow and choose your hero from a diverse cast of soldiers, scientists, adventurers, and oddities. Bend time, defy physics, and unleash an array of extraordinary powers and weapons. Engage your enemies in iconic locations from around the globe in the ultimate team-based shooter. Take your place in Overwatch. The world needs heroes.
Experience the extraordinary
Speed up and slow down time. Rain destruction from above in an experimental, jet-powered armor suit. Stalk your prey as a wraith-like assassin that can appear anywhere, anytime. Unleash powers such as dragonstrike, transcendence, graviton surge, and so much more. Every hero has a unique set of devastating and game-changing abilities.
Play heroes, not classes
Every hero has a unique perspective on the battlefield and a story behind how they arrived there. You are a champion of a bygone age wielding his punishing rocket hammer in the service of honor, a robotic monk committed to healing the rifts between man and machine, a genetically engineered gorilla who also happens to be a brilliant scientist, and many, many more.
Fight for the future...together
Teamwork is imperative for survival as you enter the fight with friends and comrades. Careful coordination will prove the difference between victory and defeat as your team combines the formidable powers at your disposal to devastating effect.

The world is your battlefield

Overwatch is a six player versus six player team first person shooter. You work with your team to either capture a point, a very king of the hill mode, or push a payload where you and your team try to get an object all the way inside the opposing team's base. You also get the ability to pick between 23 unique characters that all serve different purpose for the team. You can play as characters that are designed to take out opponents and make it easier for your team to progress, or you can play as a support character that helps heal your teammates that have been injured in battle, or you could play as a defense character to protect your territory and allies while they press forward on an objective and the list goes on. Every member of team is vital and it never feels like your not contributing to achieving a win.
There are a multitude of ways to enjoy this game too, if you are just looking for a casual fun time then you have the option between arcade mode and quick play mode. Quick play is everything mentioned above with less stress as no matter what you'll always end up earning points for yourself and never have to worry about the rest of your teammates losing points from their total score. However, there is a competition mode where you compete with other teams in a mad brawl to see which teams are better and the competition can get incredibly fierce and communication become an important part of winning a game.
There are some things to keep in mind before putting down the cash for Overwatch, these revolve more around the specs of your PC and extra devices. Overwatch does not take a very powerful PC to run, it will absolutely look gorgeous the more powerful your computer is but it is not necessary for you to get the full experience out of the game and compete with everyone else. A stable internet speed is desired too; because you don't want to be randomly falling out of matches or lagging when trying to assist teammates in battles. Finally a microphone is not necessary as you can talk to users using the keyboard, but if you are thinking about getting into the competitive scene than a headset and microphone will help excel your odds for success.
I implore you to look into this game, it is gorgeous to look at, easy to pick up and caters to some many different types of players that it would be hard to not find something to love about the game. This is a game that is absolutely astounding.
Overwatch is a fast-paced first person shooter that brings a sense of sheer delight to the genre not seen since Team Fortress 2. It's not the most competitive of games (bizarre hit boxes and tick rate, balancing issues, these hold it back) but it's easily one of the most fun. Featuring a massive cast of heroes, the learning curve is steep but rewarding. "Training" and "Quick Play" modes help the novice practice and prepare themselves, while offering seasoned players a less-pressuring respite from the "Competitive" mode, where things get a bit more serious. And you'll want to train extensively - each hero is unique and has their own play style and personality, no clones here.
Content-wise, the game can feel a little sparse but Blizzard is clearly hard at work. Just a few months after launch, they've added another hero (for free!) and a fun summer event with special cosmetic unlockables (cosmetics, incidentally, are the only things you can buy outright - no pay to win here) and its own mode of play (which is absolutely a ball.) The game does sorely miss a single-player campaign, especially with the enticing depth of characters and lore. However, this feels like a game that will grow for a long time, so it's not one you'll be quickly bored with.
Graphically, the game ranges from good to adequate, and while it's not exactly stunning in any regard, it generally performs reliably, which I'll alwys prefer. It really shines in sound design, however. Sound cues are clear and really, truly important in this game, adding an extra layer of depth. The music is fun and atmospheric without being intrusive, though not much is memorable besides the main theme.
Five stars do not indicate a perfect game, of course. There are bugs, there are balance issues, there is that really weird tick rate. But Blizzard is listening, communicating, and always updating. This is the most fun I've had with an FPS in ages, and for that, five stars for sure.

I was very reluctant to pick it up at first because I get motion sick very easily in FPS games (or any game with first person POV). I decided to go for it during the Christmas sale 2016, and it turns out for some reason I don't really get motion sick from it! Disclaimer: There are certain heroes that will cause me to feel motion sick, but it's a lot better than other games.
I bought the Origins edition for my sister when it was on sale. It came with a bunch of codes but honestly we just wanted the game. I would definitely recommend buying the game when it's on sale (which is pretty often) through Blizzard.
Esta versión tiene 5 skins para personajes, y cosas extra para otros juegos de blizzard.
El empaque esta muy bonito, por eso compré esta versión, y me llego en buenas condiciones, viene con una libreta, el dvd y 3 tarjetas códigos de blizzzard.
La compré cuando estaba en descuento así que a mi parecer valió cada peso.
