Yet, it’s the second capture point that is the biggest issue thanks to the very defender oriented design of the building. However, the issue with this first area’s design is that it almost requires either a Reinhardt or a Mei in order to hold the first point for a fair amount of time, and no one map should effectively force a certain character at a high level of play. In terms of the defenders, there is enough high ground and cover to offer teams multiple ways of defending the chokepoint. The first chokepoint is fair enough, as smart attackers can make use of the many avenues for taking the first objective. Much like Temple of Anubis, Hanamura is another map that features a great visual design but is sadly unbalanced in the favor of the defenders. It also doesn’t help that the enemy team literally spawns right around the corner, making it simple for them to just stall the timer our indefinitely with the right team composition. Finally, the bottom left entrance just offers up another bottleneck that makes it easy for the enemy team to close in and swarm from all directions. The right side just funnels into the middle or causes you to waste time trying to jump over the large wall. In order to acquire the second point, players have three approach options, all of which can be easily defended from the capture zone. Going down the middle route without some form of a Reinhardt shield will cause your forces to bottleneck, making it easy for the enemy team to kill you. While the first capture point features multiple roots and levels of verticality, the second half is terribly unbalanced.

Featuring two capture points, the Overwatch map itself features gorgeous art direction, however, this is overshadowed by the frustrating level design. Temple of Anubis is an Assault map set on the outskirts of Cairo, Eygpt.
