It’s an understatement to say that Blizzard has developed a well-established and well-earned reputation for making quality games over its history. The developer’s first ever entry in the shooter genre does nothing to diminish that reputation, and in fact greatly adds to Blizzard’s legendary stature within the gaming industry. Overwatch is an amalgamation of everything gamers have come to expect from Blizzard: memorable characters, polished gameplay, and the ubiquitous Blizzard charm that is in the DNA of past games like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Diablo, and Starcraft. Like many Blizzard games, the impact of Overwatch is just now being revealed, with Blizzard’s newly announced Overwatch League upping the esports ante. It’s safe to say that gamers will be playing Overwatch for many, many years to come.
