And yet, I remain hopeful. I’ve never been accused of being an optimist, but I think Overwatch 2 has a potential that the original was never going to realize. There’s plenty to criticize about Overwatch 2, but there’s also some things we can appreciate. Four or five years down the road, we may just find Overwatch 2 in a better position than Overwatch was ever going to be in. Blizzard has done a horrendous job marketing and championing this game, but allow me to take a stab at it: I think Overwatch 2 is a better game, and the things we hate are going to end up being necessary evils that ensure it stays alive and healthy for many years to c
In terms of the style and rapid-fire nature of these games, the vibe feels more akin to the underrated Wii gem from 2006, Smooth Moves . The smoother, more dynamic motion of the Joy-cons allow this experience to really shine, with fewer rough patches or confusing mome

For Overwatch 2 players, you have options for similar team-based shooters.

The follow-up to the hit hero-based shooter Overwatch has recently been announced by Blizzard , which has its millions of fans buzzing with anticipation and talks as to what fun new additions the game will contain. It's already been announced that Overwatch 2 will add to the already vast lineup of heroes, kicking things off with at least one new charac
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
Overwatch 2 might be the first sequel in history that players of the original begged the developers not to make. Through a small handful of gameplay changes and minor visual updates, it just barely manages to justify its own existence. It feels like it’s Blizzard’s attempt to restructure the monetization into a more profitable, industry-standard model, which people have rightly pointed out benefits the publisher, but doesn’t actually provide any value to the players. At first blush, Overwatch 2 comes across like a dark tulpa of the original - a product designed to increase profits and engagement without offering anything that meaningfully increases enjoyment. Within the broader context, Overwatch 2 follows this year’s Diablo: Immortal as just another anti-consumer title from a mega corp that used to actually care about its fans and reputation. There’s never been a particularly good answer to the question "Why does Overwatch 2 exist?", and I don’t anticipate there ever will
The unique hero-shooter actually proves a good fit, thanks to the slew of customizations given — and the fact that many heroes don't require great aim . Players can tinker with several settings in the controls options menu, including gyro-specific controls, sensitivity on different axes, and aim assist. Small inclusions like the ability to disable gyro while using the stick go a long way in making OW2 a smoother, tighter experie
If long range and high accuracy are your things, you might prefer the Deadlock Gang gunslinger, Ashe (and her right-hand man, Bob). Unlike the more niche Widowmaker, Ashe can step out of the shadows and onto the battlefield when necessary, where her dynamite and bestie Bob do a good job of keeping enemies at

The skilled archer has an easier time hitting NPCs in PvE than in standard PvP, meaning he hits more headshots and can enjoy being one of the highest DPS heroes. His lack of utility skills and support also means he works better in PvE and his biggest weakness is his lack of mobility, which leaves him open to snip
I am not thrilled about the new monetization, and I think at the very least there needs to be more ways to earn Overwatch Coins. That being said, we all know how free-to-play games work. If Blizzard makes a bunch of $20 skins, people will buy them. The hope is that Blizzard will reinvest that revenue back into the game so that we don’t have to replay Lucioball or Mei’s Snowball Offensive for the umpteenth time. We’re going to get five or six heroes a year instead of two or three. We’re going to get new maps, new game modes, and a whole new PvE story experience. Overwatch needs to change and grow all the time to keep people playing. The original wasn’t built to be that game, but hopefully Overwatch 2
