Overwatch is a team-based online shooter with strong cartoon violence involving sci-fi weapons and abilities. While rated Teen, it features competitive multiplayer gameplay that may expose children to mild language from other players and requires good reflexes and strategy. Consider your child's maturity level and comfort with online interaction before purchasing.
