I booted up Overwatch for the first time in a few months last night and it wasn’t awful. I mean, it was frustrating, but I had at least one team who genuinely cared about the objective and we won two matches in a row. For what it’s worth, I only really play Competitive or seasonal co-op events – Quick Play and Arcade aren’t for
One of the most well-known characters is the lovely Misty. She’s a great water-type Pokemon trainer who the player comes across in both Red & Blue and Gold & Silver . Befitting with the theme of Pokemon , Misty is bubbly, adorable, and extremely excitable, with red hair and
So many people are focusing on what the story might be, or how a campaign might look based on the tidbits of lore we’ve garnered from short films and comics. I’d like to learn more about Reinhardt, sure, but that’s not what Overwatch 2 needs to be. It needs a refined combat loop that offers you the same thrills of Competitive play, but in co-op
Once you let me combo my Earthshatter with somebody else’s ult, or give me a Zarya who bubbles me as I charge headfirst into a massive mech, I’ll be happy. Maybe I’ll even put another 1,000 hours
The cosmetic menu has also received some cool updates, making it much easier to navigate and understand. Bold text is used to distinguish categories while a single glance at the menu is enough to see exactly what you have equipped at any given time. Seeing all of my unlocks transfer over to Overwatch 2 was also a sad reminder of how much time I’ve poured into this series. My accounts haven’t even combined yet either, so I promise you I have more than 14 D.Va skins to my name. All the voice lines unlocked too, I am dedicated to my girl.
Blizzcon is scheduled for February 19-20 and an update on Overwatch 2 has been promised . I really hope Jeff Kaplan and company have some good news to share, because they’re going to need to give lapsed fans like myself a reason to consider coming b
Overwatch is my favourite multiplayer shooter of all time, right up there with Halo 3. It’s also my favourite objective-based team game, which is why I have around 1,000 hours played in the first place. I used to regularly compete on teams with an average rank of high Diamond/low Masters, so I know what I’m doing. The thing is, Overwatch doesn’t reward you for that, which means every single game quickly becomes a massive pain in the a
The rift between the two escalated, and Overwatch’s headquarters were destroyed in an accidental explosion. It was reported that Morrison and Reyes died in the explosion, and the United Nations elected to disband Overwatch. They passed the Petras Act, which deemed any Overwatch-related activities ille
Like with the earlier Talon and Uprising Missions you can expect to spend less time dueling fearsome foes and more time fighting off rounds of riffraff and robots. So in PvE, a mixture of crowd control, high damage and adaptability are key– sorry Reinhardt and Widowmaker mains, you might need to s
Borderlands allows players to control one of many playable characters in the world , with Lilith being one of the series’ most iconic characters who has remained a staple of the games since the very first entry. She takes on the role of the Siren in the first game and plays a pivotal role in the story for the sequels, with her character being a highlight of each game in the ser
But then 2020 became…Well, 2020. With the pandemic, I made some concessions and accepted that Blizzard Regional Events would probably hold off on releasing Overwatch 2 until 2021. By that time, the game would be even more polished and ready to take the gaming world by storm once ag
First up is the main menu, which is a real snazzy bit of presentation. The first thing you’ll notice is how much the colour scheme has changed, with many of the tones updated to feel more modern and grounded compared to the cartoonish first game. There’s still plenty of room for silliness, but the orchestral score is even more soaring and extravagant, doing its best to emphasise how this is a glorious return to form despite most of the game playing and looking the same. First impressions count though, and Overwatch 2 doesn’t disappoint.
During the Omnic Crisis, the United Nations formed a specialized task force to counter the mounting Omnic threat. Led by Jack Morrison, this unified group targeted Omnic control centers across the globe and took down the robotic threat. This highly-talented group of agents strategically dismantled the Omnics forces and ushered in a golden age for the wo
Following the successful takedown of the Omnic forces, Adawe chose to promote Morrison to the strike-commander position over Reyes, despite Reyes being the one who ultimately led Overwatch in disabling the Omnic base. A period of extended peace swept the world, and Overwatch helped usher in an era of space exploration, medical research, innovation, and discov
