You can tune into GameWatcher’s Twitch channel for hour long streams of the latest and maybe greatest in PC gaming. We’ll be hitting big new releases, indie curiosities, and Early Access works-in-progress, so be sure to have a look for first impression gameplay footage of a wide variety of titles.
The only way you could’ve missed Overwatch’s launch is if you’ve spent the past few months under an especially crushing rock. Blizzard’s take on class-based shooting action has been setting the world on fire with a whirlwind of wildly successful betas, and the final release is finally upon us, with barely a server issue in sight. So we’re going to play some of it! Live! For your entertainment!
But hey, if somehow you’ve missed the marketing blitz and intensely positive word-of-mouth, Overwatch is a 6v6 online shooter. You pick between 21 unique character with their own powers and abilities and compete for victory on objective-based maps. The balance of those abilities, the personalities of the characters, the speed of the action, and the vibrancy of the world have all combined to build a new game with a ton of well-deserved buzz.
I’ve been out of the competitive shooter game since my love affair with Team Fortress 2 years ago, so perhaps it’s appropriate that a game as lively and personality-driven as Overwatch is the one pulling me back in. Be sure to join us on May 25 at 5PM BST/12PM Eastern as we dive into action, and check back soon for GameWatcher’s full review.
