Overwatch 2 review: the hero shooter that forgot what made it great

Overwatch 2 in 2026 is in the worst state of its post-launch life. The Season 18 delay, the monetization backlash, and the slow content cadence have alienated fans. Still mechanically excellent, but the meta is exhausted. 6/10.

Marvel Rivals review: the hero shooter that made Overwatch nervous

Marvel Rivals in 2026 is the best hero shooter in the West. 35+ Marvel characters, deep team-up system, 6v6 combat, and a Season 3.5 update that actually fixed the meta. Genuinely recommended for anyone who likes team shooters.
