Unfortunately, it's quite terrible.

    --Gameplay--
    Abilities feel very much 'in the way' in this game. Unlike in Overwatch where it feels like the majority of your abilities are impactful and unique, the abilities in Valorant feel tacked on and poorly thought out. Even the animations are a bit too clunky, often resulting your death while you're waiting for the animation to resolve. Many character abilities are painfully over or undertuned. This really should have been hashed out in the beta.

    Gunplay is also something that needs work. Aside from the acknowledged hit reg issues (should never have been released with that issue; probably just wanted to gain some money from a glorified beta like many other companies), the netcode -- in this case, communication between the servers and clients in the server -- is terrible. It doesn't feel responsive at all and the guns don't feel very powerful. Unlike the assault rifles in CS:GO, you should just flip a coin if you're trying to shoot with the ARs in this game.

    --Graphics & Assets--
    I'm not usually one to criticize graphics. I hate when people use that as a main reason for despising a game; however, I have to acknowledge that, beyond the lackluster 2014 graphics, this game lacks any character at all.

    In Overwatch, there's objects to destroy, actual environments to explore, and each obstacle isn't just a wall or a generic stack of crates. The levels feel like they were lived in and the obstacles are just there. They exist because they belong there. It's the same with CS:GO.

    --Conclusion--
    I feel that Valorant really tried too hard to be a blockbuster hit and the developers boxed themselves in. Too much of this feels safe and designed instead of experimenting to see if they could take an old formula and mix it up. Nothing feels original and one of the main sticking points that any tactical FPS needs is missing -- solid, impactful gunplay.

    I do hope Riot turns it around in a few patches and makes this game really shine, but as is I won't be revisiting it anytime soon.    … Expand

    El juego podría ser de hace dos generaciones sin problemas, fuertemente vendido como moda pasajera vía Twitch. Podrían haber puesto al menos un poco de empeño en la caracterización de personajes y efectos visuales simples pero no necesariamente horribles.

    With an intrusive anti cheater. This game made my Windows OS break and I had to reinstall it. Besides that, the game is so unstable with ping, giving me sometimes a ping over 300. Graphically it's okay, but, still looks like a copy from other games. The gameplay is repetitive and boring sometimes with so many gameplays points copied from another famous game as Overwatch and CS GO.

    I have this sort of problem only with this game. The lack of quick movement is a problem. Of course Counter-Strike: Global Offensive doesn't do it better but I personally accept it there because the game is overall superior in his category. And one of my biggest problem with this game is the corporation behind it. I will not allow a game which installs anti-cheat software in the most secure operation level on my computer which comes from China. I don't say that the game is spy software but I don't trust this game. But there are a couple of fun things to. The rounds play pretty quick without large waiting time but one game is far too long. The weapons are ok. The maps are good. They have many spots to cover and interact with certain character abilities. Overall this game is fun the first 3 rounds but becomes extremely boring after a couple of rounds. I can not recommend you this game but I also can not say that this game is horrible. if you know that you are fine with the graphics the gameplay and the overall experience than good for you but for those who seek a refreshing shooter experience than I can't recommend this game.    … Expand

    Is a complete garbage, you can get killed with only one SHOT, how this can be competitive?
    The graphics is old, maps are rectangle polygon, the movement is super slow and the abilities are so annoying and static.

    How do you rate a game from a once well respected pioneer company, which with its debut game "League of Legends" once re-defined a whole genre, starting a new wave of esport ethusiasm? A company that has always displayed great attention to detail, constantly creating new characters, immersive background stories, maps and modes. A company that later started to sexually harass female employees at the workplace and tried to blackmail/bribe anyone into total silence about this and got rightfully sued to oblivion over this, forcing major high-ups in the company to step down.
    A company now blatantly (and badly) copy-pasting from others works instead of using their own great universe of unique characters, their own assets. A company that has completely fallen into the greed-pit that is triple-A and esports gaming, releasing an uninspired, barebone game and still having the guts to include a full-blown horribly-overpriced ingame store with an absurd initial bundle offering that costs about €75... for purple and gold guns... A company now pioneering the inclusion of invasive malware-like anti-cheat measures into their multiplayer game.
    All for a game that doesn't even deserve to exist, as boring as it is. Bad gunplay, boring (and stolen) characters, ugly textures and effects, ugly sound design, boring (and stolen) maps... and of course, streamers and influencers hyping this up beyond reason.

    How do you rate a game like this, from someone like this?

    Played for a week during the beta then uninstalled. Tried to re-download after launch, but the anti-cheat has been causing my computer to blue screen constantly, and the game won't open. Not only doesn't the game not work, it also can break your PC. Hopefully a fix for this is released, because I'd love to try the game again.

    I really wanted to like Valorant, but I can't. Everything about this game was solely designed to be as tedious and bad as humanly possible.

    Let's start for one with the recoil. I don't know how you screw up recoil, but oh my god they did. Instead of a learnable recoil pattern, They decided to make it based on RNG, so that means to an extent, your kills rely on luck and not skill. I    I really wanted to like Valorant, but I can't.

Instead of a learnable recoil pattern, They decided to make it based on RNG, so that means to an extent, your kills rely on luck and not skill. I don't know why you would ever do that, but they decided it was best. If you don't get an instant head shot or get the kill within the first 7 bullets, kiss the kill and your life goodbye. It just doesn't work for this game at all.

    Then let's get to the greed.
    How on earth can you make a game where you want a big emphasis on cool skins, and absolutely none of the cool ones are free? They made a battlepass which takes forever to grind, and if you don't buy the premium version, then you get a single gun skin after pouring straight up weeks into the game, and it's for the classic pistol. It does nothing cool at all, just looks pretty. Gun bundles cost you over 100 dollars, so if you wanna blow your stimulus check on something totally useless, there's that.

    Let's talk about the beta transition. In the game they have contracts to get you other useless free skins that don't look that great. I had to grind for a week straight to get one. They removed all beta progress and made everyone reset. It was totally and completely pointless. I have no idea why they did that but it's the stupidest choice I've seen made for this game so far.

    Then we have shooting through walls, which seems to only work when it wants too, because I haven't gotten it to work during firefights that I was headshot through a wall. The gun play in this game is extremely infuriating, most of your shots feel like they should kill but end up not doing so.

    Then they added in a new map, that you were forced to play on release date over and over, and it's horrible. I have no idea why they feel the need to shove this stuff into our faces.

    Overall, bad game, bad business with the skins, horrible experience.    … Expand

    The reason I’ve rated it so low due to it’s game breaking bugs and glitches. Notably, ones that I usually come across to is hud glitches and the notorious loading screen glitch. The second one is what stops me from having fun and grinding this game out with friends, which is why I give it a 4 out of 10. Extremely fun but not polished enough.

    Movement is very clunkly. No ADS when using pistols. Characters are imbalanced. Cheaters are dominating. Only 3 maps. $100 skins, talk about a cash grab. This game plays more like an alpha build than anything. There are just to many other games out there that play better than this game.

    I downloaded it quickly as soon as it was available, I played it and that's how fast I uninstalled it. It's a disgusting jumble between overwatch and the cs: go and not to mention the tech section, the physics, the gameplay ... It's literally one of those cheap Chinese copies, of course it is.

    As a player who is familiar with CS1.6 and Source, it was interesting to look at a game that would be not just a copy, but a game that would be better than them. But what I saw:
    1) A long wait before the pistol rounds.
    2) The worst thing I've seen in games is jerking the shutter after getting out the weapon. This is just nonsense. 3) The scope is still just a useless piece of pixles.

    4) Still monotony in everything, this is not a game, this is a routine.
    5) Long-term use of certain skills, which is critical, because the game is fast, long animations kill. Some skills are inconvenient to use.
    6) There are no kill cameras (2020, you need a half-programmer to do this).
    7) Almost no skill combinations.
    8) You can not change the character at the beginning of the game.
    9) Ping in Russia.
    10) Bans for no reason. A friend threw out anti-cheat just like that twice, moreover, forbade him to start the game.
    11) There is no timeout.
    12) Objects that you can visually climb into are not.

Removing every ultimate wouldn't be a bad start for Valorant, as they genuinely disrupt the game, everytime I want to make a move I shouldn't have to worry "Oh is the enemy resurrecting? Are they literally going to over-heal life from a dead corpse that makes killing them extremely hard?" It is bare bones in gun play and extremely over-saturated in abilities. The shields also make no sense, why is essentially removing all damage you put on someone all over, so cheap and ridiculously effective against most weapons (Minus the over-tuned spectre) which allows you to win gunfights. If I told you right now, that you could see an enemy's PERFECT outline through a wall because I shot an arrow and it bounced 2 times and the enemy couldn't see me and they had to turn to shoot it, would you call that balanced? Would you call POINT AND CLICK smokes on a minimap as soon as the round starts, also a good idea? Theoretically you'd say "Oh great now I have map control because of my hero's abilities and great play by me!" There is obviously a meta for heroes. which is so so so detrimental to a first person shooter, unlike games in overwatch where health is different and players play different roles, Valorant attempts to incorporate this as a small theme but makes choices feel lackluster unless they are meta picks. If there's anything I would not complain about, it 's probably the sheriff, most fun weapon in the game w/ a scout, essentially all I used anyway before uninstalling the game. The only upside is that this game is quick to install and realise "Oh this laughable game has too many errors, bugs and if they incorporate ranked, it is only going to fall into further decline" I think anyone who is a fan of FPS can reach a consensus that this game is not ready, for any play, no not competitive, literally any fun drawn from this game, is poking holes in this dead horse of a genre.… Expand

    Ah yes, Riot Games, widely known for their popular hit "League of Legends" you wouldn't blame a company of their stature for giving it the ole' college try at another genre. Valorant is their next project that is quickly sweeping the community off it's feet. For the right reasons? Well...let's find out.

    Valorant's 7 year claim to fame is essentially an FPS or "First-Person Shooter" that    Ah yes, Riot Games, widely known for their popular hit "League of Legends" you wouldn't blame a company of their stature for giving it the ole' college try at another genre. Valorant is their next project that is quickly sweeping the community off it's feet. For the right reasons? Well...let's find out.

    Valorant's 7 year claim to fame is essentially an FPS or "First-Person Shooter" that draws inspiration from CS:GO, Overwatch and even it's cousin League of Legends. That's right, I said 7 years. This project has been in the works since "2013" according to an inside source. Notable names under this project include "Volcano" - popular figure among the CS:GO community for his work on maps such as "de_nuke" and "de_cache" and "Penguin" - an ex-counter-strike: source competitive player.

    THE BAD:

    You would think with the backing of Riot Games and notable FPS developers/designers that this game would be spectacular. In short, it isn't as of right now and has a long way to go if it wants to compete with the likes of CS:GO, Rainbow Six Siege and Overwatch. This game (to me at least), seems like a rushed and desultory fashioned FPS that Riot made with the intention of "cashing-out" on the well-known genre, while maintaining a low budget.

    This game heavily lacks the sort of character you feel while playing the aforementioned titles. The maps feel very cut and paste. Too many corners on all four maps, lots of gimmicks that don't make sense and generally lack flavor. The overall sounds you hear (whether it be guns or general SFX) sound dull, weak and quite frankly awful. Not to mention the designs of the guns themselves definitely fall short to a certain degree. There's currently just two game modes, both of which seem to play the exact same regardless. "Spike Rush" is a shortened version of a normal game, but with power-ups and predetermined weapons. They also have their 5v5 competitive mode available. We also got a taste of ranked in the beta testing, but too be honest, I hope we don't see it for awhile. The ranking system was all over the place, matchmaking was awful at times and the overall placement of the player base was off. Riot released just one new agent as well. Lack of Content is 3 words I would use here. Really? No deathmatch on launch? Only one new agent?

    As I mentioned earlier, this title seems like a desperate cash grab on Riot Games part. They are currently charging anywhere from $70-90 for a set of "virtual skins" in the game. After further inspection, most of the skins seen in the item shop are definitely not what Riot Games designers are capable of. Most of these are dull, lack color, and don't include any drawn patterns. If anything, you're paying near $100 for designs that quite frankly, a two year old could mock-up and post on a fridge. Overall, this is not what Riot Games designers should be releasing and we as a community shouldn't tolerate these.

    THE GOOD:

    Part of reviewing games is seeing what good side there is, if any. One thing I do love, is the different ways you can defeat your enemy even when your economy might not be the greatest. Abilities aren't that bad, albeit some of them feel the same (Omen Flash, Reyna Flash - Phoenix Fire, Brimstone Fire). They still did a great job with the abilities, tuning will be needed, but I like how they're designed. Gameplay also felt really smooth surprisingly. Riot did a great job at making sure movement was tuned properly.

    OVERALL:

    I definitely have my gripes with this game. For a developer to claim they are "ready for release" is a pretty bold statement you should only make if you are absolutely 100% ready. Spoiler - they weren't. We saw a near two month long "Beta testing" period in which they made a few small tweaks, but nothing gameplay affecting. Release was set for just 4 days after the beta was finished. I don't know about you guys, but that to me SCREAMS desperation. Normally when a beta is over, the developer takes the time to make changes, fine tune some things and then release it say a month or two later. 4 days is laughable.

    This title will flourish amongst the gamer looking for a CS:GO Overwatch hybrid, but will fall short for anyone looking for a creative new FPS. Riot Games disappointed me here.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A shameless CS clone built with Overwatch elements with none of the charm of either game. Firstly, the game's gun mechanics are a mess. It claims to have learnable recoil patterns like CSGO, but in reality, they have deliberately coded random spray alongside it. What this means is that even if you learn each gun and have good aim, if you engage someone a medium distance away, you run the risk of missing a few of those crucial shots , resulting in your death and you opponent walking off with a tiny bit of hp. Skill doesn't matter with RNG. Second, the gun damage values don't always fully register. For example, the Vandal & Guardian both deal 150+ dmg to the head at all ranges, which is an insta kill. There have been times when you score a headshot, but the enemy randomly receives 145-149 dmg, leading to you dying when you clearly fired a fatal shot. Thirdly, i hardly believe the developers have learnt of the word "balancing'. And last but certainly not the least, is the game's cheating saga. The anti cheat is an absolute joke. I have played enough to safely say that 6 out of 10 matches had at least 1 blatant cheater in them, with me encountering the same player multiple times, weeks after mass reporting. Honestly, the game's only saving point is the fact that it is free, because if it wasn't, you would be essentially paying to have a stressful experience which majority of the times will leave you angry, frustrated and wishing you were playing something else.… Expand

I thought it was crazy that people gave this game a 0 but I totally understand. The art style is bland, the maps are garbage, the heroes and weapons are unbalanced, everything is horrible. The core gameplay is sometimes intersting and has some strength to it, but for the most part its just you getting OPed by garbage Jetts with no skill. It doesnt help the maps dont counter with the gameplay. Due to the fact that the movement is quite slower than CSGO doesnt help that you can not counter some of the guns in this game. Its a cluster **** with **** patches and updates by the company THAT MADE OF LEAGUE OF LEGENDS. I dont understand how a company with the competence of creating an esports and game to the level of LoL (the greatest esports ever) could slip on a **** bannana so hard. Its a shame because the devs themselves are actually nice and try to help but they are so **** belligerent that on one of their patches they gave cheats to THE ENTIRE GAME. This happened on the first patch of the game and its such a cluster**** that I cant comprehend to the point how bad some of this **** is. The advertised this game with a vision to destroy peekers advantage and cheats, but the MAIN PROBLEMS OF THE GAME ARE THE FEATURES THEY VOWED TO TAKE OUT. CSGO still has a less stable peekers advantage and that **** is made by Valve who never update the game (even if they are a god tier company). What else do I have to say? The skins are overpriced af to a point where Id rather **** buy renegade on Fortnut. Theres such a disconnect with most of these TRIPLE AAA games with their consumers thats its astounding that most people dont just say **** it and only buy indie games. Now at the moment, the biggest problem is the op, but we've already discussed that issue. Now, to Killjoy, or should I say kills the joy out of the game. Her abilities for the most part are balanced (for riots sake) but the GOD. DAMN. MOLLIES. They take less skill to adhere to than **** Raze's abilities. Ninja can **** get kills. This is the same cesspool homo sapien who danced on front of the stage to millions with no one dancing with him. I recently did an experiment on Valorant who played the game on what they thought of the game. Hey, rainbow started off bad, CSGO started off bad, but atleast your consumers dont rate this game out of 10 with a "penis out of 10". Ive seen more composure and professionalism from companies who are OP-erated by one **** person. It's literally more simplistic than CSGO while still being annoying and sucking up to noob players. The fact that the critics review is on such a disconnect to the users review really shows that you should never trust critics on a game. If this game has a close metacritic to some top dog games like **** RDR2 than you know the critics are **** senile. The fact I've wrote this far shows how **** annoying this game. A somewhat good community with some retarded ones (im looking at you dumbass who ops in deathmatch). Theres no counter to how long Ive played this game but I know Ive played this game for more than 200 hours, and Im honestly sick of all this bs. I like competitive games and it was **** interesting around beta and launch (even when riot ****ed up wow once again! with the launch of the game without comp). This game should really learn from the top of the top games like CSGO, R6, AND I HATE TO SAY THIS--Overwatch. Overwatch is in an absolute dog**** state, but when they first started, they game was relatively good. I cant say the same thing about valorant. Now, im not even near done with this game. The audio in this sound sucks more dick than Mia Khalifa in 2014. The audio is extremely inconsistent as it spans from sound thats too far away sounding like its very close, or the sound that's close not coming up. Not only that, these **** agents must have the thiccest of cheeks but they **** stomp around every **** time they move. Like damn, why are the footsteps so loud. Im actually getting pissed that the limit IS 5000 WORDS. I still HAVE SO MUCH **** TO TALK ABOUT. ITS INSANE. This game has literally ****ed my mind so hard that im writing a 5000 character review at 3 am. Thia game has so much potential but Riot ****s up everything they do. Its not a surprise theyre **** neanderthals when their parent company is TENCENT. This review has pissed me off so much that im on my last 3 brain cells at this point. I dont even know what im talking about anymore but im going to reach the limit just to show Riot games. Riot, my horrible friend, my **** special ed forced friend, please fix this game IMMEDIATELY.

    Okay, this is going to be a good review now that the game has been out for quite some time. Yes, it is a very low review but it's coming from someone who has played FPS games for a very long time including a lot of hours into Counter Strike and Rainbow Six Siege.

Yes, it is a very low review but it's coming from someone who has played FPS games for a very long time including a lot of hours into Counter Strike and Rainbow Six Siege.

    First we're going to talk about game play. So most of the time, the hit registration is very good. But it is VERY inconsistent. Some days it feels like I'm tapping heads all day (I'm a diamond player) but other days I can only seem to hit the body. Now I know that could be just me but I'm not the only one that experiences it.
    The OP. I could write this whole review on how terribly over powered the Operator is in this game despite it being extremely similar to the AWP in CS:GO. So there's so much controversy in the Op from the casual community to the pros. It simply doesn't belong in a game like this. There's simply not enough counters to it. In CS:GO, each player can have 2 flashes, a smoke and grenade. That is enough utility to properly counter any good AWPer. Now, if they balance the Scout a tiny bit, it would be all the game needed. I'm talking, increased body damage to 125 (so it one shots everyone that didn't buy heavy armor), keep one shot head shot, little slower reload time, and raise the price a bit. That would be the most balanced sniper and only sniper they would need in the game.
    Now the wall bangs. Almost EVERYTHING is a wall bang spot. There's no safe cover for you to go in if you need help and that's a big miss in my opinion. If you back off as you're low on health, there's a good chance you're going to get wall banged.
    There's no coverage for crouching either. Every box in the game is made to be taller than player height. There's no crouch peeking and you have to fully expose your body in every gun fight. Now this sounds like a good thing but it really isn't. If someone has a better spot on you and the only thing you can do is try to challenge, you're probably going to lose. If they have a vertical advantage on you, you're probably going to lose. It's not a good map design.

    Secondly, I'm going to talk about the maps. The absolutely worst maps in any game I have ever played. There's a video on it that goes by the name of, "The real reason why Valorant isn't as fun as CS:GO". It's a very interesting video coming from a map designer. I'm no map designer but I can tell you the maps are very terribly made and it looks like the Riot map design team is VERY new to FPS's. The maps are extremely cluttered and have a TON of corners for people to sit in. You have to clear close to 10 corners on most sites just to get on the site cause defending team can be in any of them. It's awful and makes the game super boring. The lanes in the game are also super tight and gives the feel of having no freedom when roaming them. I mentioned the terrible lack of coverage in the maps so that's all I'm going to touch base on, but please, go watch the video and you'll understand more.

    Lastly, the Agents. The Agents have such a good idea to them but they are executed so poorly and, well, very rushed it seems. I'm going to compare the operators in Valorant with Rainbow Six as I don't have much knowledge on Overwatch. So Rainbow Six has 57 operators currently at the time of writing this. Now most IF not all operators have a counter in that game. In Valorant it's the complete opposite. There's no one to counter anyone in the game and it's quite sad. You could argue that maybe raze can counter Cypher or killjoy with her grenades but that's still quite risky at times. Now lets talk about Killjoy, which is a very relevant name for her as she LITERALLY kills the joy of the game. Riot decided it was a great idea to put a turret ability in the game. Now the turret doesn't hit hard. But it's basically making it so you have to clear the corner that the turret is in and the moment you do that, the opposing player peaks. Now I understand that you could just "play for the trade" but you have to remember, most of the player base is playing solo and won't have proper team communication or chemistry therefore making it hard to counter something like that.
    Sage, sage was amazing. She was the only healer and was pretty much necessary in every match. But now that she has been nerfed. She's useless. She barely heals and her wall is weak and unreliable now.
    The abilities in the game are just a joke in general. Like i mentioned earlier, there's really no proper counters to anyone or anything. for example, the molly's. In CS:GO, you can throw a smoke and put the molly's out. You can't do that in Valorant. Therefore it makes characters like Brimstone super overpowered post plant.
    Riot is doing exactly what they did with League of Legends. Nerfing operators without thinking about what it's going to do to the game.    … Expand

    This is an otherwise good game that is ruined by smurfing/multi-accounting, griefing, throwing, and toxic players.

    I've put around 100 hours into the game, have unlocked all the agents, and just can't play it any more.

    The ranking system in competitive games should lead to evenly-matched teams. In practice, because so many players are running multiple accounts, it's very common to have a low-ranked smurfing player dominate the game. It makes no sense for Riot to make a game that uses a ranking system and then combine that with lax enforcement of multiple accounts. It just becomes an invitation to abuse the system, and lots of players do it.

    The ranking system is further abused by players deliberately throwing games. They play badly or, more commonly, convince other team members to surrender even when winning. That way they get to play a few good rounds and dominate, but lower their rank so they can smurf the next game too.

    Toxic players are very common. Because the game is team-based, and teams rely on communication (text and voice), having toxic players on your own team dominating the chat wrecks the game. Sure you can mute them, and apparently Riot uses muting to punish toxic players who get reported, but then it damages your team's ability to compete.

    Toxicity is exacerbated by giving agents the abilities that can damage teammates. Phoenix's fire, Raze's grenades, Sova's arrows, etc - they can all damage players on your own team. So when toxic infighting gets out of hand, players use their abilities to damage each other.

    On top of that, the game relies on your team planting a spike. But the spike can be grabbed by a toxic player wanting to wreck/throw the game for their teammates, forcing their own team to lose.

    The game has a reporting function, but judging by the ongoing issues with toxicity etc, it seems not to be taken seriously by Riot. And since they don't enforce rules against multi-accounting, it's easy enough for a reported player to start a new account and begin the whole toxic cycle all over again.

    I'm honestly confounded why a company like Riot would put so much energy into creating such a sophisticated game, and then leave it open to so many different kinds of abuse.

    To fix this games, Riot needs to:

    1) stop griefing by taking away abilities that damage teammates
    2) enforce hard rules against multi-accounting to prevent smurfing and add weight to penalties/bans
    3) make the spike un-carryable by players who have been reported by teammates
    4) take reporting seriously and ban players who are consistently reported
    5) fix the surrender function in terms of ranking so that it doesn't benefit a winning team to surrender    … Expand

ВСЯ карта - это статичный прикол по которому ты бегаешь и никак не взаимодействуешь (даже в старой сука кс го что то лежит и может легко разрушиться при выстреле). Деревья в валоранте, если их можно как таковыми назвать, вообще не шатаются на ветру. А! Я Вспомнил. Иногда по песчаной улице ХОДИТ ветерок и своей ПРОГУЛКОЙ сдувает с плиток пыль (но это настолько незаметно, что даже если ты это и увидел в первые, то просто забываешь и всё). Мелочей в игре НЕТ!

For example, abilities negate or diminish hard fought map control or positional advantages via abilities such as teleports, healing, seeing through walls/spy cam etc.

    Speaking of maps, they are absolutely terrible as most reviews pointed out. Mostly because of the narrow corridors, exceedingly high number of corners to check, and multiple paths solely used for rotation between sites. It seems that a more open map design is not compatible with the gameplay as it would encourage the players to forego the abilities in favor of straight gunfights. Agent balance, while always a moving target, is already an issue with clear must-picks for serious play. The graphics including the overall art direction and character design is atrocious and honestly straight up cringey. One of the least visually appealing titles of the past few years.

    Finally RNG gun spray pattern, below average optimization, and ineffective yet extremely invasive anti-cheat round out this embarrassing package of an fps game. Take your time and money elsewhere.    … Expand

    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.
