Overwatch is available for PS4, XBox One and PC, for around £45 or $60. Overwatch was developed by Blizzard, who you may know from the Warcraft and Starcraft franchises. Some years later, a new crisis encourages the former members of Overwatch to reform the agency. In the near future Earth is recovering from a robot war, the crisis having been ended by Overwatch, an international peacekeeping agency which was subsequently disbanded. The GRA expand on their PEGI details by saying Overwatch features ‘frequent scenes of mild violence’ and that ‘violence consists of human and fantasy characters attacking each other with a variety of weaponry.’ The GRA also states that ‘while blood is shown, there are no visible injury details and the violence itself is fairly mild.’ Story
In the UK and Europe, PEGI rates Overwatch as PEGI 12, suitable for ages 12 and up, for non realistic looking violence towards human characters. These cosmetic items can also be bought either with in-game or real world currency.Īs a first person shooter with a cartoonish look and class-based competitive play, Overwatch is most comparable to the Team Fortress games, though it also draws influence from multiplayer online games like League of Legends. While experience points are gained at the end of matches, levelling up is reward with purely cosmetic items such as colour changes and victory poses, which do not provide an in-game advantage. Characters have different skills including an ‘ultimate’, a powerful skill that can only be used after filling a meter over time. The game is played from a first person perspective and the many characters are divided into four classes, each of which provide different functions in the game, including offensive attacks and healing. Gameplay is online only, and there is no single player option. Set in the near future in exotic arenas around the world, Overwatch is notable for its clean, heroic aesthetic and its emphasis on accessibility and providing a level playing field for players of different ability and experience levels. Overwatch is a multiplayer shooting game in which two teams of six players compete to capture and defend various objectives.
