Overwatch
Overwatch took the gaming world by storm this year, with a smart, polished take on the team-based shooter formula that’s bursting with character. Each character offers different abilities and weapons that allow for a varied and unique range of gameplay, whether you prefer to play as a deadly sniper, a a hammer-wielding knight, or a rollerblading healer. Just remember to play the objective, group up on the payload, and that no one needs a Hanzo on Attack, no matter how many gold Elimination medals you have.
