Overwatch

Gameplay

The player will spend most of his time in Overwatch for PC, PS4 and XONE on participating in online, multiplayer battles. The skirmishes are very fast-paced and dynamic, mostly due to extremely quick and agile heroes. The key to success in the game is close cooperation with your teammates, which is reflected in the available game modes, e.g. Payload requires one team to escort an explosive to a specific point on the map, while the other team tries to prevent it from reaching its destination; in Point Control one of the squads attacks a set of control points, while the other tries to hold them until the time runs out for the attacker team. In both of these game modes lone wolves and isolated players are an easy target for the enemy team.

Upon starting a battle, the player chooses one of the available heroes. Blizzard made sure to grant the players a large and varied pool of characters, e.g. Reinhardt, a mighty fighter, capable of scattering the enemy team with his charge, or the bow wielding Hanzo, who makes up for his low stamina by being a very agile and skilled climber. Every hero has his own set of abilities and requires a unique playstyle, which prevents repetitiveness and allows for a different tactical approach.
