Ballistic Overkill vs Valorant
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.
Valorant
Valorant is, to put it simply, the "baby" of Counter-Strike and Apex Legends. The game is a tactical 5v5 team-based first-person shooter where you get to play as one of the game’s many agents, each with their own skills and abilities. You’ll go in with your team and fight in well-crafted maps in two rounds consisting of the gameplay loop of planting a bomb to destroy two objective points and preventing the other team from doing so. The game has robust leaderboards and ranking systems. Rise through the ranks with your team, start getting wins, and put your name on top of the leaderboard.In Valorant, you’ll be able to take control of one of its agents per game, ranging from Sova the Russian Scout, Viper the chemist, and Breach. The agents have a unique array of abilities and roles, ranging from the attack-oriented Duelist, the disruptive Initiator, and the supportive Sentinel. Moreover, no FPS is complete without guns, and you will be able to use a wide range of weapons from shotguns to assault rifles and snipers. And yes, you’ll be able to buy weapons like Counter-Strike, and use skills and abilities like in Apex Legends.
Overall, Valorant is a must-play if you’re looking for an action-packed competitive FPS. It’s a great game to play with friends and is another masterpiece by Riot games.
