Honest Game Trailers Season 4 Episode 99 OVERWATCH (Honest Game Trailers)

  • May 31, 2016

In the latest episode of Honest Game Trailers, the team takes a humorous and critical look at one of the most popular multiplayer shooters of all time - Overwatch.

The episode begins by introducing the game's premise - players choose from a diverse cast of heroes and battle it out in team-based matches across a variety of maps. With colorful characters like Genji, Mercy, and Tracer, each with their own unique abilities and personalities, it's easy to see why Overwatch amassed such a massive following.

But the Honest Game Trailers team isn't afraid to poke fun at some of the game's more absurd aspects. They point out the fact that, despite being heroes, many of the characters are essentially walking weapons with little to no backstory or motivation. They also lampoon the game's occasionally confusing lore and its tendency to introduce new heroes and maps seemingly at random.

One of the key focuses of the episode is the game's addictive gameplay. The team notes that, while Overwatch may not be the most complex or strategic shooter out there, it's incredibly easy to pick up and play, and the sheer variety of characters and playstyles keeps matches fresh and exciting. However, they also point out some of the more frustrating aspects of the game, like unbalanced heroes, repetitive game modes, and toxic players.

Of course, no Honest Game Trailers episode would be complete without a deep dive into the game's microtransactions and progression systems. Here, the team has some particularly cutting criticisms. They highlight the fact that obtaining new skins or emotes can be a frustrating and expensive process, and that the game's loot box system can feel like a glorified slot machine.

Despite these criticisms, the team ultimately acknowledges that Overwatch is a fun and addictive game that's impossible to resist. They celebrate the game's massive popularity, its fantastic art style and voice acting, and the way it's brought together players from all over the world.

Overall, if you're a fan of Overwatch, or just looking for a good laugh, this episode of Honest Game Trailers is definitely worth a watch.
