This game really got me into competitive first person shooters, as well as PC gaming in general. Super accessible to beginners, while also having lots of depth in each individual hero's toolkit. Again, a multiplayer game where you have the most fun because of the people you're playing it with. I miss original Overwatch.
I have conflicting feelings about this game. The beta and release were one of the best times in my gaming journey, and I was severely addicted to playing it. I've done it all, played in both low and high levels of play, and enjoyed the arcade aspects of it as well. The promised lore was extremely promising and one of the best aspects of the game, and then... it started declining.
Perhaps it was due to my long-running hours of the game, but it truly started nose-diving into an unbalanced mess, with no actual progression with the lore, lackluster events, and more. The game became extremely unfun to play with the unbalanced heroes and unfun metas. Unfortunately, my memories of it are mixed with the highest highs and the lowest of lows. Despite all this, I still think it was a great shooter, despite my soured taste.

I owe a lot to Overwatch. It's one of the first games I was really into, and I'm pretty sure it's straight up the first FPS I played, all the way back in 2016.
As much as people like to dunk on Overwatch nowdays, I truly think that this game is legendary. The hero designs are timeless, the gameplay is fun, the maps are iconic, the lore is... there. It's not the sort of game where the story ever progressed, but learning about the characters' backstories was always interesting.
6v6 and lootboxes may be gone, but not forgotten. (isn't it messed up how lootboxes were more f2p friendly than whatever the fuck game companies are doing nowdays?)

Great characters, music, lore, animations and flawless fluidity of gameplay.
However the game constantly had broken characters on every single level and Blizzard never had a single moment where it was balanced even on one level.
If the players were complaining about a character, it took months to nerf it.
The updates at the beginning and mid-game were really good, but it slowed down and completely stopped at the end to develop an unnecessary sequel with wasted potential.
