Bulletstorm is the last single-player shooter I played that I had literally no issue with. Those Wolfensteins were great, but the level design was blah. Doom was fun, but got repetitious. Titanfall 2 just, ah... didn't do it for me, sorry! Bulletstorm , though?

A mechanical marvel with a whip-smart script, they don't make games like this anymore - and they really sho


After the massive announcement of Overwatch 2 was made at Blizzcon, we found out a little more about the highly anticipated sequel. We know that multiple new maps are coming, as well as a co-op story mode, and two new heroes: Echo and Sojo

To me, this doesn’t feel like a reward for players who decide against spending any money, but a forced incentive to cough up the dough or get lost. Why wouldn’t you pick up the battle pass if it meant a new hero immediately and a selection of other rewards for the time you’re going to be investing anyway? Blizzard likely sees this as good business, but I really hope this isn’t how each season is going to play out, with new heroes being held hostage by the premium side of things instead of providing a way for us to test them out or toy with the wider roster without restriction. Only time will tell, and Overwatch 2 still needs to find its feet.


While the main tank functions in this way, the off-tank is doing every tanky job the main tank doesn’t have time for - protecting support heroes, supplementing damage heroes, and tending to any objective that requires a big, chunky health bar. From Roadhog’s hook to Zarya’s bubbles, each off-tank has some degree of authority over space manipulation, too, which allows them to use the main tank’s anchorage to support more active area control. They’re an essential part of fluid, facile, and fantastic Overwatch - and guess what? They’ll be the first on the chopping block when it moves to

Seasonal events still have a place in Overwatch 2, but they simply can’t exist in their current form. In the years since 2016, we’ve seen the emergence of Fortnite, virtual metaverses and the battle pass, with the latter point going on to define all of the biggest multiplayer games on the market. Blizzard needs to take these inspirations into account when crafting the upcoming hero shooter to ensure it can stand alongside the big hitters in the modern landscape.
