Heroes of Newerth vs Overwatch
Heroes of Newerth
Heroes of Newerth is a rather decent MOBA game that caters to a group of moderately hardcore to the hardcore elite players, though it doesn’t exactly have anything that truly sets it apart from other MOBAs. The skill ceiling in this game is rather high, making it not exactly a casual or newbie-friendly game. That being said, the game has an amazing pool of 120 different heroes that are all available for you to enjoy. The game also has 2 game modes, Co-op and PvP, whereby Co-op is for the newer and trainee players while PvP are where all the experienced players go to when they play HoN. The experience point system is a nice touch and is particularly helpful for players, who love to play roles that only excel at higher levels or after getting their ultimate skills. The very useful feature of adding a player’s hero build guide in the in-game shops is pretty well-done as well! However, do be warned that players can get a bit rough with their language if you mess up a game in PvP.If you are looking for intense MOBA matches with the likes of League of Legends or DotA 2, Heroes of Newerth is definitely a game that you can try! It has been incredibly popular once and it can be once again.
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.
