    Retribution is... underwhelming at best.

    In comparison to the previous one i found this year's story mode event to be lackluster. It's basically nothing but 2-3 corridors and an extraction which cuts the action short. You can literally choose when to stop the event. It feels so... underwhelming.
    Oh well at least the Moira skin is nice.

    I didn't play last year so this is 2 new game modes + all the variations for me. I'm happy!

    last year's event was way more polished ... the sound the 0R14 makes still gives me the creeps

    i like this years event more than last years
    uprising feels way to long compared to retribution

    PVE in Overwatch is always boring.

    Yeah, this is fairly short and pretty poor in my opinion. Compared to the other events its lackluster.

    its more like 30 rooms but no one has ever let facts stop them from being negative
    Romance doesnt detract from a story. Its a Genre, like horror or comedy or adventure. The game was ruined when we got Horror in drustvar or nazmir. It wasnt ruined when we had funny quests. So if you think a little man on man love ruins the game, then yes you are either a homophobe or just a spoil sport that goes "ewww kissing is yucky" like a baby. Furthermore, if a character has never expressed interest in any gender, then its not proof they are straight. straight people are not the default

    Yea I felt like it was pretty underwhelming too. My biggest issue is how short it is.
    Most likely the wisest Enhancement Shaman.

    I mean, it's called Retribution. It was destined to be flashy yet underwhelming. :P

    My only issue was that it ends so suddenly, no huge boss or feeling of being overwhelmed by hordes of enemies. Just, get on the ship when you're good and ready.

    Most of my groups stay longer after the ship's arrived because they wanted something more.

    Only done normal, hard and wiped on expert so far. Overall it's nice, the interactions are funny (especially Mccree's bad mood). I agree that the ending was lackluster. It would have been better if there was a big boss prior to the airship arriving. The character selection is interesting as well ! Reminded me of those co-op games.

    Best scene of this mode : Reyes not giving a damn and shotgunning the guy in the face in the intro.

    I like it more than the old one tbh. It's faster paced and the mobs are more fun to fight, imo.

    I've been getting this too. I wonder if there's a secret achievement for defeating X extra waves?

    I agree with the sentiment that a boss fight would've been nice (or have 2 of each elite spawn at once for the finale), but otherwise it was great!

    Nope, just these.

    Into the Shadows - Complete Retribution on Hard difficulty.
    A Quiet Night - Complete Retribution on Expert difficulty.
    Plausible Deniability - Complete Retribution on Legendary difficulty.
    The Venice Incident - Complete Retribution with each of the 4 heroes.
    Redacted - Complete Retribution (All Heroes) with 8 different heroes.
    Clean Getaway - Complete Retribution on Expert difficulty with no incapacitations.

    Do you get a bigger score if you stay and fight a bit before taking the ship ?

    Another question, can you destroy the enemy airships ? So far they only appear damaged with some explosions in their reactors, but they don't blow up.

    Its far better designed then the first game.

    Even its harder modes seem much more fair. The previous one is chalk full of bullshit, and
    a useless hero (Tracer).
