Overwatch is four years old this year. At this point, the game has over 30 characters and officially it has over 20 maps. From all over the world and even to the moon, players can explore the Overwatch universe, but which maps are the best? Well that depends on what your criteria is. Best maps for snipers, best map for tanks, or an assortment of criteria? Here are my top five maps and why. With so many to choose from, I decided to go with some different criteria. Which map has the best lore, which map has the most stuff to play with? You’ll find your answers here.
Best Lore
Lore spoiler warning ahead. While Horizon Lunar Colony is so full of information regarding Hammond (Wrecking Ball) and Winston, and Route 66 is covered in Deadlock Gang activity, the best lore map according to me is Hanamura. There are still so many unanswered questions about what happened in Hanamura, but we can all see the aftermath. It may be subtle, but the map has Genji’s blood on it, and it’s been there for a decade. We can visit where Hanzo used to train, where Genji used to play games and eat ramen, and where they had their final showdown. We know that something happened between the brothers, but the details of how everything went down are still largely unknown. To see where Hanzo and Genji grew up, once apparently close before their clan pushed them apart, forcing them to battle, is a bittersweet thing.
