  • While I don’t think most people likely need to be told, Overwatch is a pretty thoroughly impressive game. But what’s most shocking is how well it plays on the Switch. This is a title that people had serious doubt about in terms of how it would perform, and even moreso than some of the other impressively ported top-tier games that have come to the console Overwatch stands almost a head above everyone else. While it may be trimmed and pulled back in ways people who’ve played it on other systems may notice, it looks great and generally performs incredibly well, including little but vital things like gyro aiming that are spot on. Where people may be divided is in the gameplay itself, which is heavily geared towards teamwork, at times in almost an oppressive way. Unlike its competition which generally will let teams roll however they like, even when sometimes laughably unbalanced, Overwatch wants a set number of people to fall into each key role, though at least there are enough characters in each that you can move the dial around a little bit. The result is what in many ways feels like a blending of the FPS and MOBA genres, full of quick action but perhaps a bit more stiff and structured than some run and gunners may appreciate. While perhaps it may be more ideal to play it on another system from a big picture perspective, to be honest the Switch version feels minimally compromised and plays incredibly well.
