Overwatch gets a touch of Mario Kart with Overwatch Racing, thanks to the Workshop
Yearning for the friendship-destroying anarchy of Mario Kart on PC, yet too wholesome and pure for Grip's gritty sci-fi aesthetic? You'll want to check out the latest custom game mode in the Overwatch Workshop. Overwatch Racing makes a decent fist of turning Blizzard's hero shooter into a racing game, with increased move speed, custom hazards, and even a podium finish ceremony.
Five maps have been tuned to work with the mode, with the addition of speed rings and freeze traps among to make racing through each level a little more interesting. Three of the game's heroes are supported as racers: Widowmaker, Lucio, and Hammond. In each case, the cooldown on movement abilities such as Widow's grapple-hook has been reduced to make them more mobile still.
This lends a slightly different feel to each racer. Lucio needs to keep the speed from his wallride ability while (obviously) keeping speed boost active, while Hammond and Widow are all about grappling at the right places.
