20 Best Video Games Of The Generation (So Far)

4. Overwatch

Testament to just how well Overwatch plays no matter which of its lovable heroes you're controlling, to this day the fanbase and hours logged across its various modes are teetering into the hundreds of thousands.

From 2D unlockable sprite stickers to voluptuous character models bursting with Pixar-rivalling charm, there's an overall level of purposeful flourish that extends to supremely polished combat. It may be multiplayer-only, but being a veteran of the industry, Blizzard applied their hearty 'fans-first' charm to catapult Overwatch to the top of the e-Sports scene, alongside giving those back home a hugely varied experience depending on which hero they decide to specialise in.

Like DOOM, Overwatch cares not for loadouts, instead becoming known as a 'hero shooter'; one that ensures each player will become attached to one particular style of character-dependant play, before team tactics and classes get factored in on top. Regardless of whether you've been playing since launch or are just hopping in now, Blizzard have maintained excellent matchmaking standards too, ensuring that unlike the militaristic competition where you're likely to get shot from across the map before you can say "Teabag" - giving anybody a copy of Overwatch will see their face light up.
