Yep, true. Admit it: OW is the Summer Drug for you too!

Let me explain why I'm saying that.

Every summer I decide which game will be my "summer drug". Meaning "the game I play 24/24h losing my sleep and social activities".

While I grew up, that 24/24h became a shorter amount of time, but stil... A LOT!

What is Overwatch?

If you don't know what Overwatch is we can't be friends.

I'm serious.

(joking)

Whatever, I'll explain that.

Overwatch is a FPS with some MOBA-feelings. It brought up a new genre, called "FPS-HERO". That's because when you play OW you don't play a single character but you have to choose from a large pool of heroes.

At this moment in time, Overwatch has 22 heroes to choose from.

22 heroes? What?

The 22 heroes are divided in four categories - due to their role in the game.

In the match, you'll be facing a team of six players with your own team of six player. At the start of the match, you have to choose the hero you want to play (you can change it in the game later on).

There are four roles: attack (also called dps), defense, tank and support. 

Each team should have a balanced pool of hereos, so you don't want to have six dps heroes or six defense heroes.

WTF are those roles?

I'll brief it out: 

Attack: when you choose a dps hero, you're choosing to kill the enemies. Don't worry about dieing more than your teammates, you're the killing machine. If you're not good at killing a lot of enemies, switch (you can switch at the spawn point)

Defense: this heroes are mainly used for defense purpose. That means they just slow the other team. They can have granedes, a hero can spam ice walls around the map and so on. They're mainly harasser.

Tank: tanks are for protecting the team. If you're a tank, you're not going to kill a lot. And your game will be focused on protecting your team. Nothing else. You COULD get some kills, but shielding the team has the priority.

Support: as a support, you keep the team alive (if you're an healer) or you boost their abilities. You are a focus point of the team, so the other team will constantly be up for killing your butt. Stay focused. You don't have to die. The less you die, the more your team will keep on killing.

Plus, as a support, you don't want to "always" heal. Don't follow suicidal teammates. You're the most important hero. If a teammates die, it's bad. If YOU die, everyone on the team dies (lot of times it will happen).

Seems interesting... Other cool stuff?

Yeah!

It's not a pay to win. But you have to buy it.

That's not bad, because if it would have been a free to play it would have been unbalanced. As it is right now, it's  truly free without any additional costs (only for cosmetics).

Anyway, you'll get every add-on for free. They already added a new hero and a new map just this summer.

You can also play competitively and rank up in the ranking boards. So cool.

Ok... how much is it? 

If you're a console player... a lot, sadly. 45-50€

If you're a pc player you can buy the key for 36€!

But... they're running a free weekend!

Yeah! 

You read it right.

From the 9th of September to the 11th of the same month you'll be able to try the game FOR FREE. If you then decide to buy it, you'll keep the progress.

Don't miss this opportunity and jump into the game! :)
