Overwatch: Is it worth the money?

I'm back! I have been working on practicing game design and haven't had the time to post anything. But I'm posting now because something has got my attention... game review sites has been giving Overwatch SO MUCH PRAISE. it's gotten 9 or 10 out of 10!!! WHY?? This game is at MAX a 7 out to 10. Let me explain why. Lets go over the good things. There are A LOT of characters to choice from! Theres way more then I expected at release. The level design is AMAZING! People complain that the maps have no places to snipe (AKA camp) and I hate games that add ways to just sit and camp. So good job on that. Now let's start on the bad. The game is OVERPRICED. For a game that only has 3 game modes and repetitive gameplay $60 is not worth it for this game. The story behind the game is stupid. And yes, it is a FPS and it really doesn't focus on it, but from all the YouTube videos that they made, it makes no sense why there fighting each other! Its crazy and they should have came up with a better story. Escort mode has to be the WORST game mode in the game. And for the OW fanboys and girls, listen before you rage. I'm taking about if your team has to escort the car. It is HARD AS HELL. All the enemy team has to do is go near it, and it stops! And at times you never get the car HALF WAY!! And what's worse is that when you die, it spawns you back in the spawn hub area, and it takes a while to get back, depending on the map! Another problem is the loot. It is the most useless add on to the game. All you get is new skins and poses, that mean NOTHING! Certain characters in this game are either to weak or to strong. At the beginning of each game, when the other team or your team has to defend the area, people LOVE to camp outside the doors and then KILL ANYTHING that moves out! This game is not a 10 out of 10, it deserves a 6/10. There isn't a lot to do and they still have a lot to fix. These reviews that are giving out perfect 10's are not noticing these problems. And is it wortg $60? NOPE. This game to me should be either $40 or even FREE! There is not a lot of stuff that it should be automatically $60. Not every game needs to be that high. Rachet and Clank was $40 and it had A LOT of content including a story...but that's my opinion. I hope you enjoyed reading!
