Tristan and Oliver passionately channel Lucio’s ultimate as they break down Blizzard’s hero shooter phenomenon Overwatch 2 into these three bits:

  1. Teamwork By Design - Naturally enforcing team play through the classes system and other defining in-game features
  2. Asymmetric Level Design  - Lifting the curtain on the compelling attack/defend dynamics and how they are enabled through the level design
  3. Zero Downtime - Keeping the player engaged in an endless loop of play
