What's up with this overwatch thing? (Gaming)
I've got it. I'm a big TFC/TF2 fan and it's got a lot of similarities. It's pretty fun, though I think I'm hardcore enough to miss destiny a little after playing it for a while. My biggest gripe is that there is no force feedback, so I have to visually determine where I'm being shot from. There's also no warning if you are near-dead other than your smallish health bar in the bottom left of the screen.
That said, it's got a lot of complexity and potential. I'll be playing it off and on here and there. Would be a fun game to play with a big group of friends. The art style is very much like TF2. The gameplay is quite rapid, much faster than Destiny. Matches are typically 5 minutes long. Oh, and micro-transactions that may or may not make you hate it depending on where you are on those. =)
It definitely doesn't take itself too seriously, which is a plus.
Also, my 10yo loves it to pieces. There's a lot to like there.
