One more event skin, and this time a less flashy one, despite still maintaining style. Reaper has a biker skin inspired by motocross, showing our boy can be menacing on the roads as well. Or not — this skin isn't ca

Scorn is a frustrating, agonizingly slow endurance test of a game, and I am so glad it exists. It’s not fun, it’s not marketable, and it will probably be a huge flop. But goddamn, do I feel better for playing it. The entire world feels alive, vile, but strangely inviting. The invisible direction of the game almost effortlessly guides you around the world without the need for a map or any obvious directions, barring its incredibly weak opening. When Scorn finds its footing though, you’re treated to some of the most interesting and refreshingly unique game design choices out there, and I’d take that over formulaic franchise hits any

Widowmaker is additionally frustrating due to her lack of utility. When a good Widowmaker is on the other side, you know they are bringing nothing but headshots to the table. While some heroes can get a pass for bringing something to benefit the strategic part of the matches, like Mei bringing in a well-timed wall, Widowmaker does nothing but miss or

Mei is one of the most underrated characters in Overwatch 2. We like the fact that with her Endothermic Blaster, you can cause your enemies a great deal of damage with minimal precision. But not all battles are won without precise aiming. For this, we use the circle crossh

One of the best DPS heroes in Overwatch 2 strategy 2, Tracer has had her abilities reduced like her Pulse Pistols ability. However, she is a skilled close-quarters combat fighter who can help overcome your enemies. Crosshairs remains to be the most ideal, allowing you to take advantage of her speed and tactics to evade atta

So, if you were dying to find out what the Game of the Year is to someone who avoided all the obvious games of the year, then you’re in luck. Here are my favourite games I played in between trying to complete Outer Wilds and starting my seventh Dragon Age: Origins playthro

While it probably flew under most radars in favour of Sonic Frontiers , Sonic Origins unexpectedly came along and showed the older games the most love they’ve seen since the release of Mania. While this compilation title should have gone a lot further, it still packages the best versions of four classic Sonic games, tying them together with adorable animated shorts. It may be a bit too simple, and it had some ridiculous, inexcusable DLC, but it’s the new best way to play older Sonic games. Hopefully, the rest of the series will be given the same attention s

When you throw in a sniper in a game, a certain demographic will gravitate toward them. Widowmaker is the sniper in Overwatch 2, giving her opponents a tough time as she domes people left and right. Like the railgun from Sojourn, if someone has the aim, they will have a clear playing field as anyone who gets in their sights will die instan

His new iteration also combines the Death concept of his outfit with the military aspects of Reyes' life, making it a fun combination of being an extravagant killer and someone who actually knows what they're doing in com

Reaper is one of the best heroes you can use to bring damage to a spread. His ability to scatter shots allows you to destroy your enemies with a single shot. A circle crosshair will help you aim your shots precisely at a closer ra

The critics are justified - queer representation in a game as globally recognised as Overwatch 2 shouldn’t become a political scapegoat as its publisher fails to cover up its own corruption. The conspiracy that characters in this game are assigned queer identities out of desperation as opposed to excellent writing and realistic dynamics isn’t that far-fetched. We can’t trust Blizzard enough to believe that it was always the plan to reveal Soldier 76, Tracer, or Pharah as queer, even though it might be true. It doesn’t deserve that trust anymore, but this shouldn’t negate what personal value we assign to characters who are now canon in their identities, especially after years of projecting ourselves onto them with stories and ideas that outgrow what the game is capable of. Feeling pride in Pharah’s reveal as a lesbian is valid, I just wish it wasn’t sullied.

New heroes were a major event, and I can still remember the bitter looks of jealousy on their faces as I attended BlizzCon and got to try out all the new things before anyone else. Before the live-service rot began to take effect and a needless sequel reared its head, Overwatch meant something to me. This investment also factored into its queer community at a time when no representation was confirmed in the game itself. It was all fanart, fanfics, and pairings birthed from our own imaginations. But we wouldn’t care so much if the game itself wasn’t brimming with potential.

Besides, it also comes with a bit of lore, since not many people know that Gabriel also participated in the same soldier enhancement program Soldier 76 did. If only this skin gave Gabriel his regular voice, like in the Archives eve
