Counter-Strike: Global Offensive vs Overwatch
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a testament to how far the Counter Strike franchise had come... from its humble beginnings as a mod to now a thriving series with millions of players, a robust skins-trading market and a rather sizeable cut of the eSports pie. That said, the game offers fans and new players alike a much improved gameplay though most of the stuff in it is still pretty much the usual, familiar sort. There are tons of weapons for you to play with, as well as a ridiculously wide range of skins to make the weapons you have in your loadout to look fantastically unique.However, being a very competitive game, the amount of toxicity in this game can reach unbearable levels. Despite Valve's best efforts, brazen hackers still roamed the game and the rage... ohhh, it's real alright. To play with random players will usually mean you'll need to have a really thick skin and a zen-like focus on the game, but playing multiplayer with your friends can still be pretty fun though.
Overwatch
Overwatch is one of the anticipated release back in 2016 and it has broken all expectations when the game earned a place among the top 10 most popular competitive MMO shooters out there within the very month it was launched. Aside from breaking records and winning awards, Overwatch is both diverse and simple - diverse in the sense that the game provides players with a wide array of unique characters, each having their own play styles and team roles; and simple in the context that the game is incredibly easy to pick up and play. Of course, being a buy-to-play game, Blizzard also took the wise route and made all characters available from the start. Only skins/ loot boxes will cost you credits (game currency) to buy. As an exclusively multiplayer game, Overwatch offers its players with a nice selection of PvP modes including weekly Brawls and ranked matches as well.Blizzard has scrapped many attempts at creating an entirely new game franchise from scratch, and evidently, Overwatch has not only made it through all the rigorous quality checks; it has become an instant success. Granted that the excellent marketing played an important part in all the fame that Overwatch now enjoys, the game itself still has to be really good to stay successful, don't you think? All in all, Overwatch is definitely worth every penny you spend in it.
