This was fine, I don't feel like it was as much a look into Gabriel as I would have liked but I did love seeing the other Talon agents and some of how the timeline comes together.
With the news that Overwatch 2 is releasing PVP first with no news of the promised mission and story modes, I'm starting to worry if we'll ever get them? I really hope we do because there's so much to this world that it could expand upon and I'm pretty sure all of the fans are eager for more of that content.

This does little to embellish the already thin narrative and lore of the Overwatch universe. Reaper: grr, angry. Sombra: cocky, Widowmaker: aloof. Sigma: insane.

just a bit unimpressive tbh - like i’ve seen much more interesting (unofficial) studies on reyes before, and this doesn’t really come close. it’s not objectively bad, but not a great deal happens either

Sad he doesn't say "Die! Die! Die!" in this :(

Some good action but tries a bit too hard to be deep.
