It's hard to beat Orisa, and if the enemy team has one — it may be useful to counter fire with fire. Orisa is a monstrous tank and easily holds the title for those seeking Overwatch's 2 best tanks. Her weapon, the Augmented Fusion Driver , is a heat-based weapon that can be shot near endlessly and deals incredible damage at close range. The Energy Javelin can impale enemies for great damage, and cancel them out of their abilities and ultima
Alien: Isolation by Creative Assembly and Sega burst onto the scene in 2014 as one of the best horror games of the year. What makes this thriller really shine, aside from its sleek visuals and effects, is its thick sense of atmosphere that immerses the player into the experie
This was popularized by games like Team Fortress 2 , which introduced a line of iconic heroes in a Pixar-esque cartoony style. Nowadays, the genre is best represented by games like the hero shooter/battle royale hybrid Apex Legends , or the subject of this article, Overwat

This makes it all the more intense when trying to elude the alien beast lurking in the dark ship. The Switch version amps up this immersion with some fine-tuned gyro support, by way of weapon aiming and motion tracker movement. Though the rich experience is also enhanced by detailed HD rumble , which truly draws players into the chilling sc
Although Reyes was given command of Overwatch, it isJack Morrison who is mostly credited with transforming the unit into a devastating fighting force. He trained the other founding members Ana Amari, Mina Liao, Torbjorn Lindholm, and Reinhardt Wilheim to work together as a team and led the strike team against the Omnics. The team destroyed the main Omnic control center in Rio de Janeiro and successfully put an end to the Omnic Cri
Taking a page out of the Splatoon playbook, id Software and Bethesda take a "best of both worlds" approach with the player interface, utilizing traditional control and motion to their advantage. With this sequel to the 2016 hit, Doom Eternal brings the usual adrenaline-pumping chaos players expect from this classic FPS seri
The motion feels superb, thanks to the game's complementary goal of making a mess—but also because of some smooth, solid mechanics. Of course, the game wisely permits traditional aiming, but Splatoon 3 allows gyro users to be on an even playing field with those using joysticks. The great use of gyro aiming further adds to the accessibility and joy of this thrilling squid-shoo
Nintendo seemed determined to entice even original Mario Kart 8 vets to invest in this juiced-up remaster, which boasts sleeker visuals, DLC content, and an improved battle mode.

When it comes to the hero shooter, few have managed to compare to Overwatch 2 Hero Abilities. Yet many are now taking the idea of the genre and applying it to other games in other ways. The genre is evolving, so don't be surprised if the next big FPS, or action game has a Tracer or Reaper of their very
Last week, a YouTuber called Graslu00 uploaded footage from a canceled GoldenEye 007 remaster on the Xbox 360. The game was developed in 2007, but according to the Xbox boss Phil Spencer, became locked in a complicated legal limbo over the rights to James Bond. Between Microsoft, Nintendo, and EON (the owners of the James Bond license), it was simply too difficult to come to an agreement on business terms, and the game was eventually shelved. Graslu00, whose video shows the game in its entirety, was cagey on where the new footage came from, saying only "patience is k
If players want to be an utter nuisance to the enemy team, look to Wrecking Ball, a cheeky hamster in a mechanical ball that can roll around the battlefield, distracting enemies, and harboring a large pool of health and shield thanks to the Adaptive Shield ability, which grows his health pool depending on the threat of enemies that are around him. Wrecking Ball is a great choice, and easily distracts foes, but he is going to require practice and a skilled hand, as players can easily leave their team without a tank due to one unfortunate mist
