While many video games are similar to the popular multiplayer first-person shooter Overwatch, these are the four best games similar to Overwatch.
Paladins
Like Overwatch, Paladins is a team-based shooter with a pay-to-play model. Unlike Overwatch, however, Paladins is a free-to-play game. In Paladins, players choose from a range of champions with different abilities, each one with a unique role on the battlefield. The player can switch between champions at any point in the game to try new strategies and tactics. In addition, the game features endless progression with each new match giving players access to new champions, skins, emotes, taunts, and more. Players can choose from a range of character types, each one with a unique class of abilities. There are also three competitive modes to choose from: a 5v5 team deathmatch, a 3v3 team deathmatch, and a 5v5 domination mode.
Team Fortress 2
Team Fortress 2 is a team-based first-person shooter multiplayer video game developed and published by Valve Corporation. The game pits two teams of six players against each other as they try to accomplish objectives such as capturing control points or escorting a payload. Players can join one of ten different teams and are able to customize the appearance of their characters.
Introduced in the early 2000s, the game is a part of the first-person shooter category, and a sequel to the 1996 mod Team Fortress for Quake.
Valorant
Valorant is a 3rd person shooter where you control one of four heroes. The game features a cover-based shooting mechanic and a leveling system where you level up and unlock new weapons and abilities. The game boasts a total of 10 playable heroes, each with their own abilities and weapons. The game also has a PvP mode called Deathmatch where two teams of four players try to get the most kills before the match ends.
Apex Legends
Apex Legends is a battle royale game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. The game was released in February 2019, and is a spin-off of Titanfall which was released in 2014. Apex Legends is a shooter game where the player is able to play as one of three playable characters: Battleborn hero, Pathfinder, and Gibraltar. Each character has their own abilities and equipment which allows the player to change the way the game is played. The game has a variety of weapons and items for the player to use, and the game's map is malleable, allowing for many different strategies and tactics to be used. Each character has a limited supply of health and armor, and the game has a limited amount of time for the player to eliminate all of the opponents in the arena. The game is also free-to-play.
Conclusion
All four of these games have a wide variety of interesting features, different types of gameplay, and a high number of players. These games seem to have a lot of potential, and the future of the genre is bright.
