#12 Overwatch

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/1/7/AABIPnAADncx.jpg

In a vacuum, removing all context, and removing all other players, Overwatch should be around #5 on this list.

The characters are irresistably lovable, from their personalities, to their looks, and jaw droppingly cool cosmetic skins--and of course their really cool guns and abilities, which are strategically facsinating, super satisfying, and there are tons of 'em.

The superior engine make it very hard to go back to Team Fortress 2. OW at 240fps feels better than real life.

The maps are gorgeously detailed and very well-designed gameplay-wise, IMO even the worst OW maps, are better designs than the best TF2 maps, which were absurdly chokepointy.

(Exception: actually TF2's koth_harvest_final is still my fav KOTH map, of either game.)

However...we're not in that vacuum. The community takes the game way too seriously, and the obsession with "team composition" is so annoying (I blame the game's design itself); and there's this whole Overwatch 2 debacle, starving Overwatch 1 of content for years. (I do have extremely high hopes for OW2 PVE modes if they ever actually come out, though!!)

BEST LEVEL: So hard to choose!! But I will go with a free for all deathmatch map, "Chteau Guillard", a beautiful mansion at an autumnal lake. It's a surprisingly intricate house, and fun to learn how the various floors connect.
