Overwatch (Game)

Overwatch was a hero-based first person shooter game released by Blizzard Entertainment in 2016 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One with a Nintendo Switch port in 2019. It was the game to coin the term "Hero Shooter" to describe it's gameplay.
Overwatch was almost universally acclaimed when it was released due to its accessible gameplay, diversity in characters, and artstyle. It is considered one of the best video games of all time, and its artstyle would influence how games would look in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
In 2022, the game would shut down in favor of Overwatch 2, though everything that was in the original game would be transfered.

* Sly had a complete U-Turn on how he felt about Overwatch
** He initially hated the game due to its promotion of lootboxes, the game's art direction, the copying of mechanics from Team Fortress 2, and how content was being oversaturated on YouTube with videos on the game
** Around 2018 to 2020, he started to appreciate the game a bit more as an accessible shooter for anyone
** However after more controversies with Blizzard coming to light as well as a general disinterest of playing multiplayer PvP games in recent years, he started to resent the game again, and holds his original opinions to this day
