Overwatch 2's long-awaited story missions are delicious junk food for diehard fans and unsatisfying crumbs for everyone else

Winston and Mei charge toward a Null Sector robot on the beach of Rio.

For $15, Overwatch 2's Invasion story missions are around the price of a movie ticket and take about as long to fully complete. All three of them are bookended by cutscenes featuring a cast of characters we haven't seen meaningfully interact in years—or at all. It may not be the expansive co-op campaign with skill trees that Blizzard announced in 2019, but for current Overwatch fans, it's a start.

Lapsed Overwatch players looking to return probably won't find enough to chew on here: each mission lasts around 15 minutes and replaying them as different heroes will only earn you some extraneous info on what the cast is up to these days. Invasion's missions lean on the charming interactions between the heroes while you fight through mostly forgettable enemy robots. If Avengers-style quips between Reinhardt and Lucio aren't your thing, you might want to wait for the next round of missions, which won't arrive until next year.
