Anthem vs Ballistic Overkill
Anthem
Anthem is an upcoming, team-based (up to 4 players) action-RPG where you play as a futuristic pioneer called Freelancers, the courageous few who dared to venture out into a gorgeous open world to explore uncharted areas and take on any danger, be it dangerous alien beasts or merciless marauders, they encounter stoically. Wearing the multi-functional and incredibly useful Javelin exosuit, you'll not only get access to the suit's many weapons and abilities, you can even fly, leap, and climb. The world is very dynamic as well, featuring world-changing phenomena like Shaper Storms or other decision-driven world events that spice up the gameplay by a fair bit. There are tons of hidden secrets for you to discover as well.Anthem is slated to be released during fall of 2018. The game will be available on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Ballistic Overkill
Ballistic Overkill is a great MMOFPS game that has a fun futuristic feel to it! If you find the name familiar, well, that's mainly because the game is based on its very popular free-to-play browser-based counterpart, Ballistic (this version was unfortunately removed in the wake of Ballistic Overkill). In this game, everything previously Ballistic was completely reworked. There are more classes you can play as in addition to the plethora of game modes and maps that you can play in. These classes have their own respective skill trees that you can add points into in order to ‘upgrade’ your character class. There is also plenty of weapons available in this game, and unlike many other shooter games, with the exception of Overwatch, this game has safe rooms with multiple exits so spawn camping isn't too much of an issue.This improved game even features much better graphics - after all, the game is no longer a brwoser game - and the same goes to its music and sound effects too. However, the game is still pretty much a casual shooter (no ranked matches yet) and the matchmaking in this game still require some changes to make matches more balanced and fair for both teams. That said, if you like short, fast-paced matches and arcade-like first-person shooting or slicing (depending on the character you choose), you should definitely try Ballistic Overkill.
