Ballistic Overkill vs Portal 2
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.
Portal 2
Portal 2 follows in the footsteps of the award-winning original while continuing the story of Chell and Glados. Now with both single player and a 2-player cooperative mode, Portal 2 ramped up its game with a plethora of new, challenging puzzles, a storyline that's a lot richer than before, and more advanced and realistic physics that will govern your gameplay. Interestingly, the game also includes editing tools, allowing players to create their own puzzles which can then be shared for all to enjoy.Portal 2 is definitely a much better game in the series and if you fancy giving this franchise a chance, you might want to jump straight to Portal 2.
