Not worth the $60 console price... (Gaming)

... is how I feel about it, honestly. It's a ton of fun, but I can't recall ever seeing a game more limited in content than Overwatch. To put it into perspective, the entire game was essentially in the Beta. It came included in my brother's PS4 bundle, so we have one copy (since he wasn't too enthralled with it after playing it), but it's one of those games that gets really repetitive after a bit. I likely won't be buying it for myself until it's on a flash sale or price drop.

We did get Battleborn at launch a few weeks ago, though, and that one's still fun, since content-wise, it has fewer MP maps, but it does include eight 5-player story missions. Unfortunately not too many people picked up Battleborn, but given Gearbox's history of drowning us with quality post-launch content (the first new character is already one of my favorites), I hope people give it another look.

But yeah, if it wasn't for Overwatch's characters and tons and tons of marketing, I think it would have been chewed out for the lack of content and dismal unlock system (which is entirely cosmetic, sure, but way too grindy for what it is).
