I haven't played Overwatch in months but nobody does animated shorts for their games like Blizzard, it's not even a contest.

Best short to date. Reinhardt as a character is so cool. And the reveal of Orisa with that ominous sound was so good.

Felt like it's a massive improvement over the other shorts.

I consider Bastion's short for still being the best, though primarily for using an original space, somehow not using any sort of vocals, and getting the emotional point across. Almost seems unfair since I'm a sucker for Wall-E and such.

For this, it hits all of the cliche beats (a story can still be good with cliches fyi) while also having the drive to maintain the flow and tension even though every Overwatch fan may know what already happened.

I like how almost all of these shorts keep making me feel something for characters I never really cared about previously.

And in this instance, before the short I felt:

"Meh, okay. So Reinhardt is this big gruff old dude in power armor. neat. Probably not going to care about him much."

then afterwards

"Aw fuck, I think he's really cool now."

Similar moments happened with Mei and with the Hanzo/Genji shorts. Where I don't care until after I see the short and suddenly they're my favorite character.

I say this with every short, but they need to make an animated series with these. Even with a drop in animation quality I'd love to see what they could do.

So many of these Overwatch shorts give me a very strong feeling of emotion and get me right in the feels. IDK what the fuck it is, I can watch tons of actual highly rated movies and hardly feel a thing, but you show me Reinhardt being all brave and tough or some little girl who dreams to be an Overwatch Hero or some little birdy that got scared it just hits me hard. It's not right!
