    It's an alright game. I like the art style and the design but there are some major balance issues. I don't think there should be any one shot kill weapons imo.
    But the worst aspect of this game is the pricing on cosmetics. A bundle for just 3 a handful of guns (not all) that is TEMPORARILY available is priced at well over 80$, it's ridiculous.

    This game would not even launch without me enabling TPM 2.0. Any game that requires me to make BIOS-level changes just to play it is an immediate uninstall.

    Never mind the fact that the anti-cheat is basically malware.

    I highly do not recommend this malicious software masquerading as a game.

    Counter-Strike clone but unbalanced, less fun and uglier graphics.

Bad recoil system too randomly, to easy movement system and to boring gameplay. Mb good optimization but to long loading. Its game to booring but for ls mb good

    After spending some hours in this game I cant say this game bring any kind of fun. The characters is dull and bring no diffrence. And the game is full of cheaters, and the matchmaking is terrible and they force you to stay in the game haha, if you leave you wont be able to join any other game etc. No thanks! This game goes into my trashcan.

The Vandal for example has a "spray pattern" only on the first 7 bullets and then it completely gets randomized, and the ADS somehow makes the guns more inaccurate when spraying, the max inaccuracy on Vandal is 1 on hipfire and 1.02 on ADS, again what the hell Riot was thinking when adding ADS to every gun, just to make it worse than hipfire, also I don't even need to talk about its community, I know, every online game has a toxic playerbase but Riot's games' playerbase is one of a different kind, they're starting an argument, just to bait you to answer and get you banned and Riot doesn't gives their smallest **** about that, some person just started to flame me for no reason and we reported each other and I got banned for a whole month meanwhile they didn't received any ban, how is that even fair? The game gets updated regularly and all it does is just ruin the already bad optimization and add more bugs to the existing ones, and lastly even in 2023, the graphics in this 2020 game looks like it's from a 2004 game, thank you rito indie game company for making this unplayable game, it's been 3 years and you guys are still refusing to add a replay system because you don't want to expose your **** anti cheat and non-existent smurf protection. Even 0/100 is a generous one for this game. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Valorant seems to be causing negativity to many veterans and new players because this game itself has an extremely toxic community (Especially players from Vietnam). The status of players playing afk, smurf, hacking, as well as toxic attitudes happens quite a lot in competitive, perhaps Riot's punishment system doesn't respond to player reports many times, while Riot itself is always proud of their so-called "punishment system" extremely fair. Meanwhile, Riot is only focused on making skins for guns like how EA does with their games. I really regret spending money on Riot's game and also disappointed in how badly they manage their game. But I really hope Riot improves their punishment system in Valorant and the other games they manage Expand

    Nice and interesting in the beginning, but that's just the red carpet when u enter a room. After that, you see a different story. Purchasing bundles n skins, is essential in this game not a must tho.
    If you have a Razer set, then be prepared for bugs concerning Razer Synapse.
    Most importantly, the support team. I haven't received a single fair treatment from that team ever, not once.

    Most importantly, the support team. I haven't received a single fair treatment from that team ever, not once. Regardless of their paragraph of explanatory but that's just paving a nice path to their own benefits and own decisions. Let's say you need a reset for your account, their only solution is for you to find an alternative email with a suggesting username and (remember as much as possible the bundles you purchased). So basically, I can just claim i bought a champions skin of 2022 and 2021, what a surprise, you might suddenly get one without even technically buying it. They say smurfs are the least of the problems then how is that possible if your system suggests to find always an alternative email instead of just resetting a current user's email!!
    Now there is not a single game that you can find without toxic behavior or even taunting, let's make this clear. But in Valo? you will find a different level of toxic behavior. You can get bullied and taunted even threatened and let's say you are the type who stands his ground, be prepared for a ban regardless of who's fault is it, or who even started the manipulation. Your best choice, is to always mute the opponent's text, and cross your fingers that the MRR matches you with good ppl, otherwise your guaranteed for a screw up from both sides coz the amount of players who wants to de-rank, is crazy.
    Yes they do upgrade and update from time to time, with bundles and season acts and so on, but that won't cover the blemishes that you are going to face in this game. Your only choice is to find a group of ppl whom you can trust and know that you can level together, because without them, you will be stuck with wherever they choose for you, and still that won't mean easy peasy, you have a good team then voila I'm in the upper league with the immortals, lol hell no. You still have a long journey, coz some ppl started playing this game since it came out, and are now Bronze 1 level in the new Season.
    If you never played or heard of this game, its an alternative to CS:GO but with abilities instead of flash bombs, smoke grenades and fire bombs. The bomb is the Spike in Valorant.

    The weapon balancing is terrible, nothing can beat the vandal. Also, other weapons than the Vandal are getting worse, which benefits the Vandal even more. In addition, more bugs are added with each update. Play it yourself and you can see what I mean. Almost every time the Vandal headshots, I don't know if it could be the hitbox or that the bullets are more forced to the head but it is annoying.

    Valorant is nothing but a RANT game. You shoot someone, get objectives, and be the most valuable players and some of your jealous teammates would intentionally make you lose then bait you to say something utterly ridiculous and get you banned from the game.

Shooting in CS is not bad, it just suits only this game, and Valorant is a new game that parasitizes on old ideas, outdated ideas that are good only in the environment of their own cultural phenomenon. And after all, the game really had potential, if the graphics had been done with cel-shading (imo), it would have been much more interesting. It's not so difficult to make at least a good more live shooting (I can find the code on the GitHub in 5 minutes, but what can a Riot with their money do...). Get rid of the CS mechanics and focus more on other, more modern projects, and the game would be just wonderful. Knowing that Riots' main strength is supporting their projects, even the average team shooter would live a long happy life. But in the end, we see only the stagnation of the genre, parasitism on ideas without trying to improve them, and an attempt to please the lowest castes of players. Valorant can hardly even be called bad, it's terrible, but i added 2 points only for the fact that it at least works stably, and I have not met so many cheaters as in other games. Expand

    Nechápu, jak může hra fungovat jako antivirus a zablokovat nějaký proces či aplikaci.
    Z mého pohledu jako IT specialista je takové jednání ze strany hry naprosto nepřístupné a narušuje celkovou bezpečnost a stabilitu celého systému. Natož, aby mi to ještě odmítlo sdělit co to zablokovalo a chtělo to posílat někam do internetu!!! Moje doporučení je nehrát a rovnou odinstalovat!

    Non capisco come un gioco possa agire come un antivirus e bloccare un processo o un'applicazione.
    Dal mio punto di vista di informatico, un simile comportamento da parte del gioco è del tutto inaccettabile e compromette la sicurezza e la stabilità dell'intero sistema. Per non parlare del fatto che si rifiutava di dirmi cosa aveva bloccato e voleva inviarlo da qualche parte su Internet!!! Il mio consiglio è di non giocare e di disinstallarlo subito!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to start with this...

    This game is lost. It seems to think it's more of a clever and well thought out shooter without ironing out any of it's issues. It's got the wrong kind of people behind the wheel shoving terrible content and generating skins for the masses to constantly buy.

    I finally had enough after I got comms banned for laughing at someone. They decided to come at me after I asked for a smoke. One simple question and it blew up into them being really toxic. I made a couple of jokes that weren't in bad taste and I ended up getting comms banned. Fast forward not even a day and I get in a few games with players clearly cheating. I report them, nothing happens. This is the issue Riot has on it's hands that they seem to not care about. The community is so fixated on this idea that Vanguard is stopping cheaters when in reality it's doing nothing but stopping the obvious free cheats.

    What the community fails to understand is that the game is built on Open Engine. A free software which anyone can use and exploit, as Epic Games have realised. The one key difference between Epic Games and Riot is that Riot decide to rely on this false advertising that their anti-cheat is amazing instead of being proactive and going after cheat makers like Epic Games did.

    People can critisize me and many others saying this, but the game is full of them. I even played a game with a spin botter and he openly used it in my game. One of my teammates didn't think he was cheating when he killed 4 people while spinning inside a smoke. This is the community that has been created within Valorant. It's soft, it's loud, it's not an enjoyable community to be a part of. Their own reddit is policed like it's 1984. You can't mention certain things as it will upset the player base. I'm done with it.

    Overall, I hope it falls on it's own sword soon and we no longer after to deal with such a terrible fan base created by a terrible money grabbing company.

    Epic games take half as much as all the other launchers so I don't see the issue if they were to allow me to download there instead. So many companies have tried using their own launchers and realize you loose a ton of customers instead of just using others instead. Especially when they can't even make stable software.

    The game is ok, but community support is the worst I've ever seen. Every single match is a cage stuffed with wild animals, hardly 5v5, more like 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1 with one toxic player afking, second one trolling, a few others abustng the chat and one or two clutching the game.

Matchmaking is terrible, they might as well just destroy the balance character-wise and it wouldn't change much cuz 90% of the games is either total win, or a total lose. Any reporting or feedback is non-existent, u just fill out the form and it ends up in bottomless pit of angry player's outbursts of mad trashtalking. Wanna say the n-word 300 times during one match without getting punished? Wanna completely troll a winnable game disrespecting another humen beings however u like? Wanna waste everybodys time on a game u can't even surrender? Hop on Valorant! Otherwise uninstall and go live a happy life playing anything else than this piece of garbage. It's definitely not for u if u're a mentally stable person with at least moderate self-esteem and dignity.

    Riot's heart is always where the money is. E-sport balancing? Yessir, anything for dabloons! Average's Joe community support? Forget it, but we're glad u spent 100£ on those skins that you can never ever get back.

Over the past 3 days I played around 15 (unrated) matches and I've never been higher in the table than 4th. Every single game was basically a 2v2 of the top two players from each team while the rest of the lobby just got killed over and over by them.

    Valorant is a nice shooter game, pretty responsive, somewhat well balanced and with good servers. That said, don't waste your time and, specially, don't waste your money.

Aiming an take time and effort to learn the game well. Learning to hold youare important important in gunfights when shooting. Keep in mind Valorant isn't a casual game if you're playing 1 - 3 rounds of casual play. You'll need to play for hours in the game actively if you want to be good, and improve your aiming. Or other aspects/areas of the game that you want to improve and work on. Last point I'll make is in 1 - 8 rounds you'll get smurfs. They'll either one tap you, or go super try hard, and obliterate your team. You'll barely get a chance to play, or have it affect your gameplay even if you got a chance to play.

    Valorant has a high-quality and clean release without any problems. The game will definitely please fans of the competitive FPS genre. The eSports potential of the shooter has only become established over time, and the first tournaments are already planned. However, a high entry threshold requires serious skill training. But this only makes the game more interesting.

    Overall, Valorant is a great game to play if you're a fan of first-person shooter strategy games. But it is also something that someone without experience with games like CS:GO can enjoy and pick up quickly. The Agents are, for the most part, balanced, and the planned addition of more should keep the game fresh. The overall style doesn't really land and the sound design needs to be fixed.
