Overwatch is hands down one of my favorite first-person shooter games of all time. The amount of time and effort I put into this game with friends and alone we’re non-stop fun and worth revisiting constantly. Compared to most video game characters, I feel an emotional attachment to every single one because of their dialogue, gameplay, and what the community main themselves. This has become my most played game ever ranging around almost 3,000 hours on 3 different accounts in total and I’ll probably be doing the same for the sequel on my free time.

I’m surprised many didn’t like the beginning of this arc, after the other two. It felt like after the same game engine for five games, it was nice to transition to a more modern 3rd person view with enhanced gameplay mechanics and dungeons. I liked the cast and the world of Erebonia a lot too and the bits in each chapter where the characters have to learn to trust each other and solve their personal issues, something I think the crossbell arc lacked with its characters besides the main four, but even then some of them don’t fully develop until Azure like Randy for example. The games pacing is alright since it’s the first game in the arc. Just like FC, the plot really kicks in until the very end and encourages you to play the next game to see what happens and I jumped straight to cold steel II right after. Rean is a cool character and is distant about his own feelings, but man my only issue is his awful hair style, guy needs a haircut.
