Overwatch - Switch

"The best hero shooter ever made launches on Switch with a fair porting that allows you to play with your favorite character anywhere. On the other hand, Overwatch on Switch had to make some compromises in order to keep the …"

"If you don&s;t care about portability and have Overwatch elsewhere then give the port a pass. Maybe once cross-save, cross-progression, and/or cross-play are added this port will be more compelling to existing fans, but for those that believe Overwatch isn&s;t …"

"If you love Overwatch and have $40 to spare, there&s;s really no reason not to check this port out. It&s;s just as fun as ever and you can actually take it on the go, something people have been asking for …"

"Overwatch on Switch offers the same, fantastically competitive experience that players have been enjoying on other formats for the past few years. While the necessary drop in frame rate is disappointing, it&s;s clearly helped to maintain the quality elsewhere, and …"

"While I don&s;t think most people likely need to be told, Overwatch is a pretty thoroughly impressive game..."

"Despite that, it&s;s still a personal favorite of mine. The structure of the game, with its changes to matchmaking and further exploitation of loot boxes, feels worse nowadays than it did three years ago, but the core, fast-paced experience of …"

"Like a hero with an arm tied behind their back, Overwatch on the Switch still puts up a good fight. But this scaled-down port makes it a little easier to question whether or not the world needs more hamstrung heroes …"

"Overwatch on Nintendo Switch should&s;ve arrived a while ago but even with its multiple compromises offers a mostly good way to play the game."

"We’d give Overwatch a recommendation, but with the caveat that you should consider first why you’re buying it. If you intend on playing it plenty when undocked, we can’t recommend it enough, but if you intend on mostly playing on …"

"Overwatch finally makes it to the Nintendo Switch but other than giving its fans an option on a Nintendo platform, this version is overall subpar experience. The framerate drop compared to the other versions, which falls even deeper in some …"

"Despite the hardware limitations, circumvented by falling to 30 frames per second, the competitive shooter made by Blizzard turns out to be a valuable job. A conversion that aims first and foremost to reach new players, pulling them into what …"
