Overwatch: Ranking All Events So Far

10. Storm Rising (Archives)

Though players still welcomed the bit of lore revealed in this event, and the cinematic that came with it was an exciting and enjoyable mini-movie, it was undeniably the least interesting of the three Archives events. It came at a time where interest in the game was waning, and didn't quite live up to the dark intrigue of Retribution or the revelatory early history of Uprising and how it showed more of the omnic conflict outside of the original Omnic Crisis.

The gameplay also didn't vary much from the gameplay of Retribution, using the same Talon agents that players had learned to beat in the previous year.

For the most part, all it did was act as connective tissue between more interesting aspects of Overwatch's story and lore, showing Overwatch at its height and just at the point of decline. It also introduced Sojourn, one of the new heroes to come with Overwatch 2, for the first time.

It also showed Maximilien, Talon's money-man (omnic), and teased a new villain at the end, with the fancy, suited Doomfist in his earlier days at Talon pre-incarceration, at the tipping point of Overwatch's decline from its glory days.
