Overwatch 2

Play it on: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch
Current goal: Keep playing with perks
Overwatch 2 is in its glow-up era, and I’m not sure if it’s enough to win me back yet. Blizzard rolled out Perks, which allow you to upgrade and tweak your hero’s abilities in the middle of the match like a MOBA. It’s an interesting spin on a nearly 10-year-old format. Overwatch 2 has needed a shake-up for a while, especially after it’s broken nearly every promise Blizzard made since revealing the sequel in 2019. The game is stale, and this is the kind of change that can make playing it interesting again, so I’ve been playing around with these for the past week. I sometimes feel myself hankering to boot up Marvel Rivals, but for now, I’m trying to balance both games. I’ve spent over 1000 hours playing Overwatch. I figure I can at least give it a chance to bring me back. — Kenneth Shepard
