Multiplayer
Multiplayer is where Overwatch shines, mainly because that’s all it has to offer. Blizzard’s class-based FPS is all about working with teams to move on objectives and seize victory for your team. But there’s something special about how Overwatch gets it done. Much like Team Fortress 2, fun is the major focus of each match. Winning can be cool, but it’s hard not to enjoy yourself while using one of the 21 completely unique heroes in the game, and pulling off some insanely sick plays overshadows any loss.
There is also a huge metagame at play in Overwatch, calling for strategy and skill that goes far beyond just placement and getting to a power weapon first. What Overwatch lacks in a campaign it makes up for in some extraordinarily deep multiplayer action.
Doom also has multiplayer, and while it is very fun, it is much simpler than that of Blizzard’s latest FPS. For the sake of argument, the easiest game to compare Doom to is Halo when it comes to its PvP offerings. Fast paced action that includes team deathmatch and a few objective based modes make use of the mechanics learned in the campaign. Everyone is relatively the same, save for a few loadout options, providing a more controlled multiplayer experience. One thing Doom has that Overwatch does not is map creation. Players are able to create maps using an easy to use editor then share them with others for a bit more variety.
