Blizzard's Overwatch is living up to its hype. There are reasons why gamers of all sizes and skill levels should play it.
The characters are interesting. You can choose from four character categories: assault, tack, defense, and support. Assault characters inflict damage with dominant weapons. Defense characters are there to protect the blows of the enemies. Tanks are there to bring distraction to the enemies. Support characters are there to heal or to teleport front liners to the battle.
It is a team-based game. You need to play this with a team. You need to strategize and assign among yourselves who should take what tasks. If this is your thing, then you must play "Overwatch".
It attempts to appeal to different player types. The game is just the first of many games that Blizzard would release. This means that those curious about the game can just jump in and play it. They can choose which characters to play. If they are after the story, they'll get it. If they're just after the shooting, they'll get that in "Overwatch" too.
It has some aural triggers. When you play Blizzard's "Overwatch", always listen. The louder the shout of your character's soundbite is, the more dangerous his skill is. The same is true with other characters. If you hear them shouting loudly, it is best for your character to retreat. Like when Hanzo's Dragonstrike with two dragons release a loud Japanese war cry, rethink your tactics and hide.
It has accessibility options. Recently, an Overwatch fan suffering from cerebral palsy sent a note to Blizzard, thanking him for the remappable controls. He can play each character comfortably despite his situation. Zak posted on Reddit, "I just wanted to thank you, Blizzard, for having near endless control customization in "Overwatch". I don't know if this was your goal, but because of your extensive options I am able to play every character in the roster and it feels great. Because of you, I made my first snipe in a video game today."
