Score Breakdown
The Review
The original Overwatch invented the modern hero shooter and its characters became cultural icons overnight. Overwatch 2's shift to 5v5 and free-to-play changed the competitive dynamic, and while the PvE cancellation disappointed fans, the core gameplay — fast, colorful, team-based action — remains best-in-class. Blizzard's character design, from Tracer to Kiriko, is the gold standard for personality-driven multiplayer games.
Fun Fact
Overwatch characters have appeared in more fan-created content than any other game franchise, with millions of artworks, cosplays, and animations.
