Hearthstone’s ‘Hearth and Home’ is not the equal of other videogame songs

Overwatch’s Mei got her own animated short today, so it’s doubtful that many people will pay any attention to the companion video Blizzard released for Hearthstone. Given a choice between a sexy anime Overwatch nerd and a plucky Disney-esque Hearthstone song, we all know which mini movie will get more views. Still, it’s a valiant attempt to lodge an ear-worm into everyone’s brain.

“Hearth and Home” being an ode to Stonebrew Tavern is catchy, but it’s no “When I Find Love” from Saints Row: Gat out of Hell. It’s certainly not as good as “Oh No You Didn’t” from the marketing for Mercenaries 2, which despite being almost ten years old, still manages to pop into my head to this day.
