    Valorant is deep, complex and it always pushes you to do your best and become a better player. It has everything to offer great and intense matches, but it also requires and level of cooperation and commitment that won’t appeal all players.

    Valorant transforms the best of CS:GO with agents and abilities, resulting in an exceptional FPS that everyone should try.

    Do not be fooled by the cartoon style: VALORANT is a highly skill based, punitive, not very permissive title with a really high learning curve.

    All gameplay, artistic and musical elements are put at the service of a demanding and satisfying competitive experience...If the tactical shooter genre interests you from near or far, it already deserves your full attention.

    Valorant leans heavily on its predecessors, but makes use of established schools of thought and the unique novelties of its Agents to create a fresh take on tactical shooters, even if its launch is a little slim. For years, there hasn't been a fight for Counter-Strike's throne; but in Valorant, Riot Games has found a valiant contender.

    Valorant delivers as a highly competitive FPS. From a pure design standpoint, Riot’s shooter stands tall on excellent gunplay, diverse agents, and balanced maps. This alone is enough to capture the attention of hardcore fans of the genre. It’s been clear in Riot Games communication that they are committed to responding to player feedback and using that to shape their development path. Valorant is already an insanely good game, but it’s poised to become a superstar of the medium in the years to come.

    Valorant considers a standard match as best of thirteen rounds. Thirteen rounds! You don’t know which team is dominating in three rounds, Valorant? Because I sure do. It’s the team running rampant all over the map. Your Spike Rush mode is only slightly better at best of seven, but even that can drag. It’s all in service of the eSports focus. Anything quicker would be too fast for dramatic shows. Riot has made eSports their bread and butter, so it’s no surprise that Valorant is heavily skewed to that audience. Gone are the days of 1v1 arena fights in LAN tournaments with fullbright settings. One match. One result. One mistake and you were done. There were no upset wins or swings. You did a looping run from the railgun spawn and the keg of health and you didn’t dare deviate because it could all be over with one high-ping hit. Anyway, I’m old. Valorant has made me realize that I don’t recognize the landscape I grew up with. I’ll let the younger generation deal with Valorant’s sequel.

Заинтересованность разработчиков в улучшении игры. В принципе ,вполне гуд в перспективе. Не такая скучная как CS, не фановая и казуальная как овер(от овера тут разве что стрела ханзо и стенка мей),но и не такая разнообразная пока как R6. Поставил бы 8,но слишком уж занизили кокоэсеры рейтинг опустили. Сравнивать игру с овервотчем - вообще омегалул . К слову для дурачков,которые говорят о воровстве и копирайтер,сначала погладить ,кто над игрой работал.. Там и разрабы из овера и(при этом от первой тут 2 св половиной механики)… Expand

We wouldMe and my friends played Valorant for maybe 20 hours in total, and me and my friends had a love hate relationship with the game. We would rage, but we would sort of have fun most of the time. Now, I realise just how bad the game actually is. I would give it a zero if it was not for the first couple hours of playing this game, because it is quite fun to start out.

    The gun play is awful in this game. Guns are just so frustrating to use, because you could be shooting straight on, but your bullets are going to be be going to Narnia. You just have to spray and pray when an enemy is no more that 10 meters away. Also if you get shot in the big toe then you cant move at all, so you are a sitting duck. Guns are either awful, or mediocre. There are no guns I would define as good. Also lobby's are terrible. Either you get in a lobby with the sweatiest player on the planet, or you get put in a game with bots that barely know how to shoot a gun. Characters are pretty fun, and usually have different playstyles. They also have good lore and dialogue. I just wish that they had a description about who the character is. Map design is pretty bad, with it just being a mess, or just boring and flat.    … Expand

I detest the idea of the operator, as it is the same as the very gun that drove me from CS, the AWP. Other than that, while it certainly is a fresh spin on the genre, to me it is an unwelcome one.… Expand
