The map gets really interesting, though, once you've moved into the surrounding city. The robot must push underneath a bridge before circling around and passing over that same bridge. This forces both teams into confrontations where they're constantly fighting over the high ground and low ground simultaneou
Junkertown, as featured in Junkrat and Roadhog's excellent cinematic, returns to Overwatch 2 in all its glory. Attacking players must escort a cart of jewels and gold that's not-so-subtly booby trapped with dynamite, while defenders have to protect the Junker Queen's home t
Overwatch 2 offers a variety of new maps, especially for its new Push game mode, but it also features some changes to its older maps. With plenty of great maps, this list ranks the best of the best that you wish you could get every time in ran
I’ve been waiting for Scorn for so, so long, and it’s finally here. Ever since its failed Kickstarter in 2014, I’ve been interested in its body horror world full of slime, bones, and other general grossness. Now, years later, I’m counting down the hours before I get to stick a gun in the gaping wound on my arm and solve some incredibly icky puzz
This weekend is all about No Man’s Sky for me. The new Waypoint update has revamped a lot of how we play the game, from expanding inventory (and therefore having to get to grips with new upgrade layouts) to a raft of amazing accessibility options that let us tailor gameplay to our own needs. Having the option to remove purchase and building costs in my existing save on the fly, and without having to farm tons of materials first, is truly life-altering, and I’m now inclined to go all-in on base design as a result. Maybe even one day Sean Murray himself will share one of my designs on Twitter, and then I can retire gracefully having truly made it. Oh, I picked NMS up on Switch too — a surprisingly fantastic port that runs really well, even on Switch Lite — so that’s three separate consoles I need to work
This change makes the game much faster, with movement abilities and speed buffs making huge differences on the battlefield. Overwatch 2 players may have noticed that certain heroes are more difficult to pilot in this new environment. That's not to say that these heroes are bad picks, just that they may require more adjustments than others to succeed in
Ilios is one of Overwatch 2 Skins's all-time classic maps thanks to its vertical design, variety of entry points, and beautiful Greek design. Of its three variants, the one that stands out the most is Well, thanks to a massive hole in the center of the map that you can knock other players i
The uniquely frustrating thing about writing this article is not the terrible, bad-faith internet comments that will inevitably follow. Rather, it’s the fact that the people behind Kiriko’s design clearly know a lot about Japanese culture. Two of her legendary skins feature souvenir jackets, a uniquely Japanese type of clothing. Eventually, someone will point out that some of Kiriko’s creators are Asian. I’m sure that if we met, we would agree on many things. I also know from firsthand experience that there is an unfair amount of pressure placed on marginalized creators to ‘get it right’ every time. Perfect is never good enough. You have to be twice as good as anyone e
One of the new maps for the Push game mode, Esperança takes Overwatch to the streets of Portugal, fighting it out on in a city that gradually inclines upward. Not only that, but it has many high-up spots that allow players to claim the high gro
If the player Duplicates an enemy that doesn't necessarily benefit the team, they can find themselves stuck for the duration of the skill. This is especially unfortunate when Duplicate is used on an enemy that the player has no prior experience w
Finally, defensive ultimate abilities can also make a difference against the extreme firepower provided to a team by Kitsune Rush. Transcendence, for instance, can be a lifesaver here since its healing will be higher than the enemies' damage, even though they're sped up. It won't help you kill them, but it'll help your team endure and survive during the R
I’ve finally finished reviewing [REDACTED] so now I’m free to play games I’ll hopefully enjoy. When my friends are busy I’ll be playing Scorn, the icky body-horror experience that looks like an Alien fever dream and fetishist utopia. When my friends are free, I’ll be diving into Overwatch 2 finally. Time to see what all the fuss is ab
Midtown feels like it came from another era, with a design inspired by the early 1900s of America and New York in particular. You'll feel this especially when you get into the Grand Central Terminal, with its brown and orange colors and dimmed lig
Lucio is a high target due to his small size and lack of health, but mastering him sure is a reliable tactic for teams. Lucio is one of the best support characters in Overwatch 2 , and he’s a hard one to play due to his movability and target
