Game could've been so good if it wasn't so ass. How do you ruin the way the game plays, ya'll were doing so well Blizzard. League of Legends effect...

I‘m not sure if a want to get all trophies for this game to show my love for the franchise and characters. The timed events make me friggin‘ nervous and nearly ruined this year‘s Christmas festivities. (Think about it, no one will play this in 2021 and you’ll be locked out of 100% forever)

Whatever, message me if you want …

I usually don't count multiplayer/online only style games on my played page, but I played Overwatch a lot a while back. I don't anymore, I heard it isn't good anymore, but I loved Overwatch years ago.

The first time I played this game was in the week that Blizzard put the game free for new players to try. Several players with various roles where I usually play as a support, in the different scenarios in which I found some very cool. There are several modes to try out for every taste, but like any other online game I recommend playing with friends.

since people posted 'best of year posts' i began to look up things on my shel(ves) and i noticed an odd thing. There are MANY games that do not have release dates in grouvee database for some reason! :o

Many of these games DO have logged 'releases' with dates associated with their platforms (PS4, PC, linux, etc).
Many of these games are also old and have no other info.
Some of these games are steam re-releases of older titles or they are games that have potential discrpancy with the release date.

I been trying to plug up some of the ones on my shelves but its maybe something to look into. It seems that it's unable to sort the sort filter for 'date released' and reverts to 'date added' :o

in this case for Overwatch, i'm thinking the Switch re-release did something, and before that, there was a date.

I finally decided to try Overwatch. Not sure if I am PLAYING it, or I PLAYED it but I've been having fun with this Zenyatta dude. It's kind of boring to play by myself via Quick Play though.

Maybe with the incoming role queue, I'll actually play Overwatch outside of seasonal events, casual (and support main) that I am. :^)

Está bien, tal vez debería decir más de este juego después de haberlo obtenido por el pack de humble bundle y jugar desde octubre de 2018, el juego realmente no me convence a pesar de estar lleno de referencias a las demás franquicias de blizzard se siente sin alma y poco balanceado. Al menos gráficamente es brillante.

It's a fun first-person shooter with a lot of unique and memorable characters. I completely suck at it though. Has a sort of strategy to it for making teams. Doesn't feel too fast or too slow for general movement. I really wish there was a single-player story mode of some kind to play through... Don't get why there isn't one, …

It's a fun first-person shooter with a lot of unique and memorable characters. I completely suck at it though. Has a sort of strategy to it for making teams. Doesn't feel too fast or too slow for general movement. I really wish there was a single-player story mode of some kind to play through... Don't get why there isn't one, when the game seems to have a fully-realized setting and background history to work with. A little campaign to go through for each character would be perfect for this one.

An amazingly fun and addicting multiplayer game that emphasizes team work and balanced teams.

I have found it is most fun when played alongside a group of friends, that way you can be certain your team will have a balance of characters.

Everything I have to say negative about this game could be summed up with: toxic community. It's fun, well-designed and updated often enough so it keeps you hooked. Getting stuff you want is a matter of grinding so once you pay for the game you don't have to purchase additional lootboxes if you play a lot.
