Matches are objective-based, with two teams of six players. Between the three modes of Point Capture, Domination, and Destruction, you will get to customize your Gundam in cosmetics and its loadout, so you can prepare in both the practical and fashion departme

Overwatch 2 is a strange game to review. It’s a free-to-play live-service experience that depends on a consistent audience to find games and progress through its battle pass. As you might have already guessed, there were only so many games journalists in the world to populate its servers as we rocketed towards the embargo. Thus I am left in a bit of a pickle.

There’s a few new options - most notably the presence of an in-game shop and battle pass. Loot boxes are gone for good, with premium currency and seasonal progression now used to earn skins and other cosmetics. Time will tell whether this model works, but Blizzard isn’t shy about putting it front and centre. Aside from that everything here is basically the same, and that includes graphical settings and other such options that I forgot to take screenshots of before being locked out of the review build. Trust me on this one.

I haven’t played enough of the game to judge its new direction and updated mechanics, thus placing a score on the experience doesn’t only feel unfair, but unprofessional. But what I can do is admire the sexy menus and slick user interface, since I don’t need any friends to lose myself in the cauldron of stats, modes, and heroes that make up the logistical majority of Blizzard’s hero shooter sequel. A real review is coming, but for now this will have to do.

The wait for Overwatch 2 has been characterized by many fans as excruciating. Due to a huge drought of content for what has felt like an eternity, it's no wonder that the small morsels of information that Blizzard has provided are treated like nuggets of gold. In Blizzcon of 2021, a lot of good things were showcased for the Overwatch franch

One aspect of Overwatch is its diversity. Heroes come from all countries, cultures, and backgrounds. Canada was one of the countries that Blizzard wanted to have a hero from. This could also be because of the Overwatch League, which has two Canadian teams, the Toronto Defiant and Vancouver Tit

Fortunately, the hero gallery is still a breeze to navigate and has been updated with new portraits for each character. Actual models are used this time around instead of stylised drawings, and I’m still not entirely sure which of them I prefer. I’m sure they’ll grow on me.

After all, Activision has a reputation as the company that likes to drive its games into the ground with constant releases. It released so many Guitar Hero games that it practically salted the Earth when it comes to the rhythm genre. It's also easy to remember that Bungie was originally said to have a ten-year plan for Destiny until Destiny 2 went into production. Considering their public break-up with Activision earlier this year, it's plausible that Activision had a hand in pushing the former Halo developer into coming up with a sequel to drive fans over to the next g

Kaplan does seem to have big plans for Overwatch 2 , and the story mode may end being phenomenal. If there's a good number of missions, new skills, and a high level of replayability, then it might turn out to be a game deserving of your hard-earned dollars. But right now, Overwatch 2 seems like the same old Overwatch 2 Maps , only now everyone has a fancy new hairst

Hollywood has shined through as one of the most favored Overwatch maps with its neat aesthetic and its insane diversity of elements. From various high-ground perches for snipers to set camp, to moving platforms, to pathways which can be exploited for cheeky flanks, this area has just about everything. The versatility and elaborate nature of Hollywood's corridors and pathways will likely make it a great choice for multiple new modes offered in Overwatch

If you owned the original Overwatch or pick up the Watchpoint Edition of Overwatch 2 you’ll unlock all heroes right away, otherwise free-to-play users will need to play a total of 100 matches to earn the entire roster, and that doesn’t include Kiriko unless you’ve already purchased the premium version of that battle pass. That make sense? I didn’t think so.

Armed with two hearts and dual machine guns, Mauga seems like a great pick, but his health is on the lighter side, and any attempts to defend himself when alone, see him quickly taken care of by enemies. Mauga is still a good pick, but he exists in a spot of normalcy after his release, in which Blizzard was probably scared of having Mauga be a tank-like Bastion. After all, they already have Or

It is the battle royale format where you land with 20 three-person or 30 two-person teams, depending on the mode you pick. It is all about the last person standing. You choose your character, each with their own playstyle. Be a supportive shield character like Gibralter or be a sniper with Vantage. There is a role to fit any
