Overwatch may not be as popular as it used to be, but probably not because it has become a particularly bad game. It's more about the lack of real support and fresh content that would encourage you to return to this otherwise great shooter. Personally, it annoys me, because whenever I feel like returning, I remember that I will probably get bored after one or two matches. I say this as a person who doesn't have a record-shattering number of hours spent with the game (a modest three hundred), which in a way speaks for itself.

However, this doesn't change the fact that the FPS produced by Blizzard is a great production with many memorable locations. One of their leaders is Hanamura – an assault map set in Japan, which is characterized by a very well-thought-out design and layout. It works great – in personally my favorite mode. Especially in the case of actions similar to those that almost always take place on the second point. The fiercer the fight is, the longer the overtime round, and thus – the more emotions.

Added to this are the aesthetics that are strongly referring to Japanese culture – which I appreciate very much. This automatically makes the game more fun – unlike, for example, the ugly Junkertown. An additional upside is the winter version. It's worth noting that the mentioned location also appears in Heroes of the Storm.
