Overwatch – Legendary Edition
Overwatch – Legendary Edition was a game that was launched a few years ago and now has grown into a gamer favourite. It is a team-based multiplayer, first-person shooting game. Overwatch revolves around 30 players who are called heroes. These heroes are then divided into three sub-categories: snipers, builders and healers. As the name suggests, snipers are range management troops, builders get the duty of creating a shield or basically saving everyone from the enemy’s attacks, and healers are responsible for reviving and healing units in the game. The game includes two teams of six players, each choosing one hero with unique qualities. The game focuses mainly on two types of gameplay – securing certain points on the map and escorting the payload. With the quirky, colourful characters and exciting gameplay, Overwatch certainly offers a great experience to players looking for a true fast-paced multiplayer experience.
