This years Black Friday haul was light on titles, I knew I would be busy in December, but still wanted to pick something up. The Dutchman in me can't pass up a good deal. Overwatch seemed a good fit for a variety of reasons. I wanted a game light on story, that I could could pick up and put down as I pleased, and something that was playable in front of my wife and kids. I couldn't have picked a better game.
I haven't played many competitive shooters over the past few years. If you check this blog often, which you don't, you can see I clearly steer towards story driven games, often skipping the multiplayer portion altogether. This game could change all that ... but I doubt it. When the Overwatch Servers were being weird, I tried playing Halo 5 multiplayer again. Nope.
Overwatch has so much going for it, the game is a different experience depending on which hero you choose, the gameplay feels great, the game looks beautiful, and is just simply fun. You can play for 5 minutes or hours at a time. It's the perfect compliment to spotify or a podcast. I love it. This could lead me to playing less games (in quantity) in 2017. We'll see. Recommend.
