The REAL Overwatch 2

Fun ass game where you blow up aliens and robots with your pals. If you complain that it isn't fun enough, you're just tasteless or ungrateful

Solid game, should have more players

It's very weird that this game forces you to have a bad time before you can have a good time. Whoever decided to lock flamethrowers behind Level 8 Support should be scalped. Other than that fantastic game!

Solid damn game

Gates of Hell paywall

Spirit guardians go brrrrrrrrrrrrr in Act 2

Cash baggers man, so cringe.

Man, you can't just raise the price of a product by nearly 100% like that. Anti consumer behavior, don't buy this. Honestly, boycott if you can! It's not 13$ good!

Okay I'm making this review because I've seen a lot of flak and hate towards this game that I feel is completely unwarranted and is heavily jumping the gun by folks who don't really seem to understand how it's played. This game is not Town of Salem, nor is it Among Us. Just because you don't understand how to play certain roles doesn't make the game bad, it just means you're not a very good player. A lot of people seem to think roles such as Townie, Saint, Transporter, etc are just useless fill roles but they're really not. They're roles that are there to focus on tasks while the investigators run around attempting to catch the killers. Their abilities are also incredibly useful if you know how to play them.

There is more social deduction that goes on in this game than Among Us, as there's more characters with abilities that can find killers, but the killers themselves also have a plethora of abilities in their arsenal to deceive town. This game is more casual than Town of Salem, yes and they've stated they don't intend to create a ranked mode for the game. But that's honestly fine, as the sweaty atmosphere that ranked tends to conjure isn't always conducive for a fun or interesting game. There's also arguably a bit more social deduction that goes into Town of Salem than Traitors in Salem, but that will change over time as more folks learn how to play the game and better understand the roles.


Tldr:
Pros-
Not a shameless Among Us clone (Shut up those who would argue this, they're way different)
Lots of fun unique roles to play
Excellent fog of war that works well with voice chat
Many opportunities for deception and mind gaming your opponents.
Great map and character design in a fun style
No game breaking bugs that have been reported, very polished for fresh out the gate EA.
Cons-
Nobody knows how to play the game yet.
Some parts of the game lack development, but will be added on to with time.
Lack of diverse tasks. (Likely will change with time.)
