Three years ago I tried out a video game that I actually found interesting, so I decided to tell you a little bit about it. The video game is called Overwatch, being the same of the first person shooter genre, which was developed by Blizzard Entertainment for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch platforms. It was distributed in the market by the same developer company on May 24, 2016 for PS4, XOne and Windows, while for the Switch digital platform it was distributed on October 15, 2019. This game does not have a main story, the only thing is the characters which players can control, in addition to the team battles, but I will talk more about them in terms of gameplay. The best part of this game in general lines are the team battles and because it is played in a multiplayer mode, it is characterized by being a massive game; that is to say, there is a high participation as far as the games are concerned, which turns out to be positive for many players.

The first thing I will talk about is the different characters we find in the game, which in this case are 21, which are divided into 4 main categories, which are Harm, Support, Tank and Defensive. Each of these characters and depending on their category has its own skills. Damage characters have the ability to move well, as well as have a good amount of power, so they are more likely to cause damage to their enemies, but have a low level of defense. Then we have the support characters, which turn out to be very important in the game since they heal, create shields and any other type of skill that helps their companions. The tanks are the heroes that have a higher amount of life, so they resist more to the attacks and they are the ones that we normally put in the front in the battle fields. Finally, among the characters we find the defensive ones that are very similar to the tanks, but have very good defensive skills, both for them and for their companions. The good thing about this division is that the characters are totally different from the others, so by changing them we live a totally different experience, which makes the player more entertaining.

As for the gameplay and due to the lack of a main story in the game, this is mainly focused on team battles, main of 6 players, where we must form it in balance depending on the ability of the heroes, where the normal is that 4 heroes are chosen from each of the categories (attack, tank, support and defense) and from there it is complemented with two that are necessary. The objective of these combats are several, among which we find conquering a base and maintaining it, conquering two bases, escorting a charge or conquering a base and escorting a charge afterwards. As for the combat itself, I should mention that these are three-round fights, so the winning team is determined by the group that has won two rounds. However, we find other game modes, where teams fight where all characters have the same skills; that is, an attack team and a defense team, where the objective of the attack team is to try to fulfill the mission in a given time, while the other team, in this case the defense team must avoid it. Despite not having a story, the game is quite entertaining in terms of the game modes available.

As I mentioned before and what I like most about this game is that we must work in teams, that's what really matters. Because a character only has one skill and the others are fundamental to achieve the objective of the game. Normally the recommended thing is to try to make a balance between the abilities of the characters, arming a team of two tanks, a defense, a support and an attack. This game is very important to level up, so you should try to make as many games as possible, but of course always trying to complete the mission, which is to defeat the opposite team. The truth is that in terms of the variety of characters, the ability of each one of them, the importance of putting the team together with balance depending on the skills of attacking to cause damage, defending and healing (Teamwork), I think this part of the game is well worked and provides great fun to the players.

Among the game modes we have the Attack, Escort, Control, Assault/Edge, Competitive, Arcade, Custom Game Finder and Online mode. In Attack mode, the objective of the attacking team is to try to fulfill the objective while there is another defending team that must avoid it, either defending until time runs out, because there is a time limit in the modes. The escort mode is where one team must move a shipment while the other must avoid it. The control mode is where two teams fight with a common objective. Then we have one of the most important modes, the Competitive mode that has the previous modes but the rivals are selected through a raking, depending on the level of our skills and characteristics. Also in the game we have a mode that allows us to join personalized games that another person or team has created depending on their tastes, as far as the final objective of the battle is concerned. In general Overwatch has a wide variety of game modes and types of combat with different objectives that allows players to play the one they like best, and then change in each of them until they try them all. It is normal that at some point and when trying all the modes, players get bored, but this I do not think is the case of Overwatch.

Visually we have a game is that very good, since it is well worked and optimized, the latter being a good thing. Both the modeling of the characters and the textures of the different environments where the fights take place, are well created, the truth is that I was quite delighted. The visual effects, both in the atmosphere and during the battles are very good, but not very outstanding; that is, they are correct. As far as animation is concerned, Blizzard Entertainment did a very good job. The fluidity of the game is quite good since, as I told you, the game is not only good in terms of graphics, but it is also very well optimized. Finally among the visual aspects we have what is the artistic work and it is that the characters of this game have great designs, the truth is that they are outstanding, as well as the scenarios that were well worked, with very good details.

The sound of Overwatch is not the best, but it is not bad at all, I can qualify it from right to good. The highlights are the sound effects of both environments and those heard in the fights, such as the noises of the characters walking that are different from each other, the sounds of the shots and attacks that are really good. Now what is the soundtrack if that has not liked so much by the lack of variety, but what if I can say is that the music that has is of enough quality and very according to the game, therefore to the situation in which we are. The game is perfectly dubbed to Spanish, even is considered one of the best in terms of video games in recent years, due to the correct use of voices for each person. Anyway, the sound is pretty good, only that the soundtrack is the most disappointing because of the little variety in the musical themes, but otherwise in general terms is quite good.

In conclusion Overwatch is a pretty good and entertaining game, where teamwork is what predominates in the video game. In terms of gameplay the game uses a system of combat between teams, where we must make a balance depending on the ability of the characters we choose. Besides, the game has a good variety of game modes, where each one of them has its good things, but the most outstanding ones are the Competitive mode, Customized game search and online. Graphically the game is quite good, where the developer of the game did a good job, as he made a good balance between quality and performance. The sound is the weakest thing among the technical sections, but it doesn't mean that it is bad, because everything is good for me, but the most disappointing thing is the soundtrack and the lack of variety in the music, because the quality of the music is very good. In short, for all that I have described, I give it a 10 for the gameplay, a 9.5 for the graphics and a 9 for the sound.
