Overwatch: Winter Wonderland event
It's that time of the year again so here come the events in games to remind us all of that! Overwatch has the Winter Wonderland event that pretty much involves a big snowball fight and you get of course several new skins and other customizable stuff from special loot boxes. But in my opinion this event is a bit of a disappointment, mostly because the customizable items aren't that special and there's also not a lot of them.
Winter Wonderland event is a disappointment?
Let me first say that I don't think it's bad, I just expected more from Blizzard especially when I look at the Halloween event in Overwatch. That was so much better and gave you a lot more stuff, you also had a fun but still challenging PvE game mode. In Winter Wonderland you only have this snowball fight and as much fun that can be for some time you get tired of this sooner or later. What's worse is that there is only one playable character, Mei. I wish that they had a PvE game mode and gave you acces to multiple heroes. I guess you can't always get what you want but it still surprises me when I look at what the community has been talking about for the last couple of months. They want more PvE and not PvP stuff in the game, so this snowball fight seems a bit stupid to me considering that a lot of people want something else. The skins are also quite a disappointment in my opinion, because the majority of the players just gets a voice line and a spray. Then there are some that also have an emote, a victory stance and even two characters that have a new highlight intro. But the skins are probably what you're interested in, well I have to say that these aren't that cool. I mean McCree as Scrooge? That just looks lame, why didn't Blizzard make a Van Helsing McCree in the Halloween event? That would've been so much better! Reaper gets this blue ice aura and eventhough that looks cool I would've loved to see a ghost of Christmas future (aka ghost of Christmas yet to come) type of skin for Reaper, that would've been perfect for him! Then the Roadhog reindeer skin, I mean that's just ridiculous and the Lucio skin is just lazy with the different colour of his standard outfit with a Christmas hat on. I do like the Phara skin with the ice armor, that actually looks pretty cool! Torbjörn and Mei get the legendary skins and eventhough they look interesting it doesn't really makes me want to get them, something I did want with the Halloween skins.
Is it worth checking out the Winter Wonderland event?
Sure! Not only do you first get a free special loot box, I actually got a legendary skin from mine (unfortunately not one from the Winter Wonderland event), but you can also earn some new achievements/trophies. The achievements/trophies are a bit lame but with some practice you might get all four of them. Eventhough it's a bit of a disappointment to me I will still play Overwatch with this event, it's not that I hate it. I just expected more, which is probably my own fault. Perhaps you like it more than me and then you should really check it out because it can be fun with some friends or just a friendly group. You also get the latest updates in the game, which means the Symmetra changes and after playing her for some rounds I have to admit that I like it! So don't be afraid to check out the new event, just don't get your hopes up too high because I don't want you to be disappointed like me.
