9 Reasons Overwatch Is The Most Exciting Gaming Franchise In Decades

4. The Masters Of Loot Are Back

The bubble is most definitely going to burst at some point when it comes to arbitrary loot systems being thrown into every game under the sun, but as Blizzard pretty much invented the stuff through Diablo, theyll always have the right to keep including it.

Micro-transactions are available as an optional progression modifier, but everything from character skins to stickers, victory poses and dialogue one-liners are unlockable by nabbing loot boxes in standard gameplay.

Youll get them once every couple of matches online, resulting in a pleasant little hold button then pop animation as your rewards burst out.

It may not be a selling factor to those whove already spent small lifetimes on the likes of Destiny and The Division, but Overwatchs loot system is like unlocking a treasure trove full of goodies - a simple feeling that harkens back to the delights of amassing coins in Mario or rings in Sonic.
