I’ve been playing the playtest version and I find the game is just okay. It’s basically exactly like Dota but 3rd person and with movement mechanics like dashing/slide/double jump. It feels and looks great but there’s just so much going on that it feels like I’m constantly missing something. I think the skill ceiling will be incredibly high.

I’ve heard the explanation that they’re not working on the half life series because they want to have bigger leaps in innovation, but then they work on a moba/hero shooter.

They’re not working on the half life series because there’s no way they’ll ever live up to the hype that’s built up. Best to let sleeping dogs lie.

“We outsourced development of Episode 3 to finish telling the story.”

Easy way to finish the arc while squashing hype.

They have all the talent, budget and time they would ever need. No amount of hype will ever detract from a good game. Hell even cyberpunk managed to stay afloat after a disastrous launch and will be remembered positively by people that played the patched versions. I don’t believe the hype thing either.

Overwatch did not invent playing a character that has abilities on a cooldown. It’s much more like fast-paced dota with guns.
