There’s just as much attention to detail on the levels with multiple entry points scattered throughout the map and there isn’t a single weak map on rotation.Įven with such a diverse cast of powerful heroes, Overwatch is easily accessible by new players of all skill levels.
In fact, these characters have become so popular due to their design and how fun they are to play, they have inspired more fan art than any other game I’ve seen to date in the short amount of time it’s been out. Seeing Zenyatta’s attack as his projectiles effortlessly float around him as he hovers across the ground shooting them and then putting his hands together in a meditative form to summon new projectiles is a thing of beauty, and the game is full of these incredibly little touches. The visuals for Overwatch are also well worthy of praise, especially with how the characters animate during their attacks. I’ve never seen a competitive game promote teamwork more naturally than Overwatch does, with its UI clearly displaying and guiding players to the objective along with automatic voice cues that clue your teammates in on what they need to look out for the overall design and emphasis on small details in Overwatch is impeccable.
There’s no team deathmatch, no KDA scoreboard for everyone to yell at each other about, there’s only victory or defeat and everything else in between is pure ego-filled nonsense. Given the objective nature of each game mode, using these ultimates in conjunction with one’s teammates can often mean a decisive victory or complete annihilation. The ultimate for each and every character is potentially game-changing, with a healer like Mercy being able to resurrect her entire team or a D.VA who can self-destruct her mech, clearing out the entire enemy team in its blast radius.
It’s tempting to just label it a “MOBA”, but not only would that be lazy, it would be incorrect, as Overwatch is a game with a mix of familiar ideas blended together into a new, never before seen package.Įach playable hero is equipped with a set of unique skills, many of them on a cooldown, and a designated “Ultimate” which can be unleashed when a meter is completely filled. The character first philosophy of Overwatch shines in the incredible cast of heroes who are not only likeable but are also an absolute blast to play with.įor those unaware, Overwatch is an objective based hero arena FPS made by Blizzard.
