Overwatch 2: Hardest Heroes To Play As

Valorant is like the free-to-play love child between traditional FPS Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and hero-based Overwatch 2. Unlike Overwatch 2 strategy 2 , however, is that players get to upgrade their weapons using an in-game economic system with the currency they are awarded based on their performance in the last ro

Splatoon 3 continues the long-running excellence of the newest Nintendo IP that has churned out hit after hit. Featuring a unique spin on multiplayer shooting gameplay , the idea of covering entire surfaces with ink as opposed to fragging opponents makes for a great gameplay loop that players won’t get bored of no matter w

One of the great things about doing this column is that everyone at TheGamer has different tastes. James is usually powering through a Yakuza game. I’m always playing 50 different things, and promising to get back to some long RPG I started months ago. Jade is usually reviewing a JRPG or three. But not this week. This week, it’s all about Sco

One of the strongest aspects of both of Kiriko’s main abilities, Swift Step and Protection Suzu, is that they both have extremely fast animations, making their use almost instantaneous. You can technically stun her after using her teleport, but the time window here is just too small to do reliably, meaning that’s something you’re more likely to do by accident. However, you can still push her around to isolate her or keep track of her allies, so you know where she can potentially run off to though. The only thing that truly stops Swift Step is a Graviton Surge, but an ultimate to trap a single character is rarely worth

Another character with no recoil (a common thing among the robot characters), Bastion is a lot more aggressive, at the cost of being squishier. Bastion has a devastating damage output, from his gun, sticky grenades, and his turret form, with a temporary rotating cannon that gives him unlimited ammo during this t

With Overwatch 2 turning the game free to play, it’s only natural that there will be countless new people in the game and, with more players in the game, it’s common to get lost in all the new characters and what they can do. The game even locks a significant portion of its roster to newcomers, so they don’t get as overwhelmed at first. All that said, which characters would be a good choice for beginners to the g

Speed is key when it comes to Sojourn, one of the leaders of Overwatch’s strike team. Sojourn is back and stronger than ever with the newly formed version of her team, as she is desperate that the team does not make the mistakes of the past. To help her, players will be armed with her Railgun, and her power slide to assist them in making some fast pl

I just witnessed Joel swear that everything he told Ellie about the Fireflies was true, which means I’m currently midway through Left Behind, and will be starting up on The Last of Us Part II this weekend. Once I get started with this series, I can’t stop. I also have Scorn, the H.R. Giger-influenced horror game, installed on my PC and am just waiting for nightfall to begin my journey past disturbingly anatomical alien architect

Another new support hero in Overwatch 2 that might be difficult for some to learn is Lifeweaver. Despite this creator of biolight being determined to heal the world of all its pains, he might have a hard time, considering the likes of Talon don’t exactly want peace. Nevertheless, players who attempt to embark on Lifeweaver’s mission might find themselves in a challenging but rewarding t

This weekend is all about No Man’s Sky for me. The new Waypoint update has revamped a lot of how we play the game, from expanding inventory (and therefore having to get to grips with new upgrade layouts) to a raft of amazing accessibility options that let us tailor gameplay to our own needs. Having the option to remove purchase and building costs in my existing save on the fly, and without having to farm tons of materials first, is truly life-altering, and I’m now inclined to go all-in on base design as a result. Maybe even one day Sean Murray himself will share one of my designs on Twitter, and then I can retire gracefully having truly made it. Oh, I picked NMS up on Switch too — a surprisingly fantastic port that runs really well, even on Switch Lite — so that’s three separate consoles I need to work

The H.R. Giger-inspired horror puzzler is out now on PC and Xbox, and is included with both iterations of Game Pass. So, if you want to explore the dark, fleshy, world that Ebb Software has cooked up, there’s a low barrier to entry. Elsewhere, The Last of Us Part II , No Man’s Sky, Final Fantasy VII Remake , and more are getting some attention. Just not as much attention as Sc

Conversely, one of the most common ways a team falls apart is letting a flanker run rampant. A good Sombra or Reaper making it behind your team can spell disaster if they’re not taken out as soon as possible. You should try to deal with them as soon as possi
