While I had several experiences to get me through months at a time throughout the year, Overwatch is the title that I kept coming back to all year long. Even in a year where shooters reigned supreme -- between it, DOOM , Titanfall 2 , Battlefield 1 , Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare , and so many others -- Overwatch surpassed not only my expectations of the experience it would offer as a competitive shooter, but genuinely came as a surprise in becoming my favorite gaming experience of the entire y


**Developer Comments: ** D.Va’s armor often made her feel like she had no weaknesses, even against heroes that are often effective against bigger targets (like Reaper). The changes to her Fusion Cannons will result in a small overall decrease in damage, but they should feel more consistent


Orisa's kit basically consists of other hero abilities combined into one. The only ability that is completely unique is fortify, which gives her immunity from crowd-control effects and decreased damage. The rest of her abilities are recycled versions of Reidhardt's barrier, Zarya's Graviton Surge, and Mercy's damage bo

Aside from the complete visual overhaul, Raven Software has left the campaign intact as is, with all the same content, mechanics, and bonus modes. The same can be said about extra content, although now PlayStation users can collect trophies, something that wasn't patched in the original version. For those who’ve played the Call of Duty 4 campaign a lot over the past nine years, there’s nothing new for you in the remaster. The fact that nothing has changed is both refreshing, and a hindrance.

A grounded Call of Duty game is entertaining, and, in hindsight, makes a lot of the recent games look out of control.


Blizzard changed Symmetra because they wanted to make her more viable in general situations. Her win rate was always high, but they saw that she was mostly being picked on first-point defense alone. The change has given her some viability outside of these circumstances, but mostly only to second-point defense on assault m

One of the main knocks on Junkrat is that his primary fire gives more to the enemy team than many other heroes. In most circumstances, a Junkrat is spamming his grenades. With a coordinated team on the other end, these random grenades can be used to charge Zarya's damage as well as enemy support ultimates. If you're feeding ultimate charge to the enemy team, you're actually lowering the chances of winning in the long
