Blizzard's take on the first-person shooter sees a generosity of character accompanied by beautifully deep mechanics.
Overwatch is an incredible achievement in multiplayer shooter design. It bobs and weaves almost perfectly between being the quick-fix adrenaline hit you might want after a long day of work, and the thoughtful, strategic multiplayer experience that becomes the center of evening-long binges with friends. It might not have the most exhaustive list of maps and modes, but it provides nearly endless opportunities for exhilarating, coordinated play. When you're at the center of it, it feels like nothing else.
It's not flawless, but Overwatch is still one of the best new multiplayer shooters to arrive in years.
The Street Fighter of online shooters is an inspired new take on familiar ideas, that proves personality really does go a long way.
