    This game is terrible for one main reason for me. After a lengthy stint with customer support, I've finally got a response that is worthy of sharing.

After a lengthy stint with customer support, I've finally got a response that is worthy of sharing. They aren't supporting 32:9 aspect ratio monitors, nor 21:9. Now this wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't massively hypocritical. I personally have a 32:9 screen and I have to deal with enormous black bars to play. I can't use that space for anything else, the game just eats 1/2 my screen. Now the reason that's hypocritical is that they are supporting a differentiation in refresh rate. So the perceived advantage that I'm receiving is considered "undesirable" however people who have high refresh rate screens whom have a colossal advantage over those who just have 60hz screens is fine... there's a double standard there that is indicative of a development team that have no idea what they're doing.
    It's one thing to try and create a fair environment for players. It's another to alienate a portion of a community just for having a certain type of monitor. If they were truly trying to create a fair environment they would have to follow these steps as well:
    1. anyone with more than 30ms on ping should immediately be kicked as it creates an unfair playing experience for those who have good ping. (peeker's advantage gets worse )
    2. anyone who has a screen with a refresh rate higher than 60 should have they framerate capped. Other wise there would be an advantage for the person with the higher refresh rate screen.
    3. anyone playing with a DPI/sens value over 1600 should be unable to play as having an input speed that fast is disadvantageous. this is not debunk-able. It's fact.
    4. Anyone with no mic should not be able to play the game as being unable to communicate with your teammates would create an unfair playing environment for your teammates.
    5. Anyone who's total input time is over 50ms from click to frame should also be unable to play as it's not conducive to a fair environment if you get a team mate using an old ball mouse that's wireless on a TV.
    6. Anyone who has done any colour correction to the screen's image should be banned as they are exploiting the games colour palette to gain an advantage against those in low light/make people clearer than they are. (Because we have to be fair here, so screw colour blind people)
    7. Anyone caught rebinding keys should be immediately be banned for cheating as creating a more ergonomic environment for one player than the other would make the game "unfair".

    this list is by no means exhaustive. there are plenty more things you could add that create an "unfair" environment. So to say that "having an ultra-wide or super ultra-wide is considered an unfair advantage" you must necessarily accept everything above as the truth as well. There is a reason that counter-strike allows for any monitor resolution. It's because some people want to play games. they don't want to compete. I'd say that that is infact the majority. I bought my monitor as I'm a programmer and the extra space is very useful. Why am I being punished for a choice that is entirely unrelated to the game.
    As a hilarious aside. League of Legends, the other game riot makes, supports ultra wide and super-ultra wides. This means that in league I can see almost from nexus to lane if I'm on the top side or bottom side of the map. So within the same company, there's an obvious hypocrisy.

    I will not be playing this game as there's a clear lack of intelligence from the development team and it's obvious that all they were doing when they made their initial announcement was using buzz words to bait the ill informed into playing the game. Saying "tick-rate' doesn't mean that the designers are smart or care about the player's experience. This review should be more than enough to prove that they indeed do not care.
    I could go into the fact that the shooting mechanics are silly, for example: having randomized wiggle on a spray pattern after 5 shots is ridiculous. But I shall leave that here. Suffice to say that Escape from Tarkov will remain my main game along side Counter Strike. the game is broken and the developers are legitimately bad at making games.    … Expand

    It's free to play, so why not try. I expect you'll experience the same frustration.

    You're literally aiming at your feet before your RNG bullets hit heads.

    I know it's a CS copy, but I just don't remember the accuracy/random bullet spread in CS being this toxic?

    There is the very valid argument that you can learn the recoil of the weapons - making it skill based.
    Which is great... but all of your natural aiming instincts will be completely overwritten by the stupidity of this RNG aim system they've seemingly adopted.

    Again... if you enjoy milsims or shooting in real life - do not bother with this game.

    Generally, the experience and atmosphere of the game is casual and relaxed.
    The player base is generally friendly and helpful - especially if you tell them you're new or want to learn.

    The character's abilities are a little odd, and a little too similar.

    But if you enjoy listening to music while you play, and want a FPS that's a bit more relaxed with the same competitive spirit as CS then this might be for you.

    Just enjoy dragging your mouse down as you try and guess where the next bullet is going to land.    … Expand

    The game does not feel up to par to other fps out there. It is clunky, slow, the aim must be improved and the fact that your character gets slowed when hit makes it harder to walk side to side and try to deflect.
    The skills are a nice add but if they're not granades, they're not important.
    There are better fps out there, Valorant has gotta improve to compete with those.

    This game is god awful. Shots do not register, and they all feel the same, besides if you are using a shotgun or a sniper. Recoil on guns are not balanced at all. There is a certain smoothness that is missing. I really wanted to like this game but maybe after time it will actually be worthwhile.

Candle on the cake is essentially every map is exactly the same.

    Guns are pretty bad, which only a handful which play only slightly different from one another.

    Game Modes is where Valorant fails the hardest. You have option of either Competitive, or slightly less competitive. I generally enjoy CS games but even I can only play so many competitive matches before I just want to relax with a gun game or a tdm. Your given no such option, you are expected to play the same mode, same map, same gun, on the same hero that require **** map design just to justify their existance over and over again.

    So while I find fun in the game, it clear to me doing same thing over and over will turn stale very quickly. So think ill end my Valorant journey here.    … Expand

    - The Game just literally feels like you're trudging through the map engagements are not exciting and usually you are left feeling that it was just your position or lack of position and almost just dumb luck getting kills.

    - The abilities of the characters you play seem fun on paper but in the match it really doesn't seem that they have any real interesting aspect of play besides making the map a bit more obnoxious to navigate,

    From the day brax was signed as the first professional and beta was out, I knew what this game would turn out to be. It got overhyped as the next mega release simply based on its Twitch viewers (and the fact it comes from Riot), 98% of which were AFKing streams or watching them for a drop to try a game that would ultimately end up being disappointing both in the earliest stages of the beta and after the actual release.
    A ton of streamers used Valorant as an opportunity to revive their long dead channels, which actually worked out for most of them for the time being, and now they're back into obscurity again.
    A ton of North American CS:GO pros also moved to this game because the NA CS scene is marginally smaller than the EU scene. The NA scene, while smaller, is easier to break through and enter the international scene through, where NA teams would historically get smashed by EU teams because they are a joke along with all of their players, simply because they don't work hard enough and well enough, which brings them onto the Valorant scene that they are aware is a one-time cash grab that will probably send them into obscurity in a couple of months.
    I don't see a world where anyone is moving to Valorant because the game is more fun or more competitive than CS:GO, because that world does not exist.

    Why?

    Valorant was indirectly presented to us as this CS:GO killer, and coming from the Daddy Riot, everyone expected everything to be true and more.
    The first Project A teaser cleverly outlined the biggest issues with CS (low tickrate servers, peeker's advantage, and most notably the anti-cheat system), and they were so sure that they'll manage to release a game without any of these issues, especially the anti-cheat, that they even mentioned several times that wallbanging every surface is highly encouraged because they were so 100% sure that cheating in their game will be impossible. They were almost taunting the cheaters, but little did they know.
    As it turns out, a few days into the closed beta almost every single game was riddled with wall or aim hackers, both closet and blatant, and it's like that to this very day. Peekers advantage was worse than in your average Chinese free to play first person shooter game with a half-naked woman on its logo, while their so-called 128 tick servers felt worse to play in than playing a CS:GO 64 tick matchmaking server on 80 ping.
    Some of the abovementioned things got finetuned in the process, but it still feels like a game that shouldn't have been released in 2020 because of how unfinished it feels.
    And I don't even wanna get started on the gunplay and abilities. The hitboxes are awful, most guns (and especially snipers) feel very clunky, the skill floor is very high because you don't need to counter strafe to regain full accuracy, and the skill ceiling with guns is very low since the abilities, which are said to be "complementary" to the gunfights, give you huge advantages in gunfights, and on the highest level you'll rarely have a fair 1v1 aim duel without someone throwing something your way. which ends up making you feel like everything has been rushed and is clunky.

    All in all, many fans of many games expected this game to be a good experience that they could fall back on (or even fully move to) once they get disappointed by their main game. But this game turned out to be the biggest joke of a release in recent memory, and while Riot is definitely gonna improve a thing or two, this game in its core was dead before it was released and that's sad.    … Expand

    4. Customization for real money

Unfortunately, Riot Vanguard, the anti-cheat software Valorant utilizes, is for a lack of a better word, a root kit. I've played since the beta with not many problems, but once the game released on the 2nd and I played for one night, Vanguard reared it's ugly head.

    Since you need to restart your PC if you disable Vanguard after playing (it stays on whether you are playing or not) I did so the next day, hoping I could continue to play the game. Well, Vanguard uses a kernel-level driver that boots up right as your PC does, which is already pretty alarming, but I figure I'll allow it as long as it doesn't mess with my PC, right? My computer proceeds to hang up on boot, refusing to move past the first screen. This makes me force a shut down via the power button, and rebooting. PC boots up fine now, but what's this? Vanguard failed to initialize at boot, meaning I can't even play Valorant if I wanted to! 3 re installs and no fix. Either my PC disregards Vanguard and boots normally, or Vanguard tries to load and bugs out, freezing my computer in the process. Good thing I just spent money on the game the day before in good faith, silly me! It's been 24hrs and Riot has of course not gotten back to me whatsoever, I'd like to mention.

    My story is just the start. This software has been reported to brick PCs, block vital software from PC manufactures, make systems run abnormally hot, etc. Just take a quick look into this Riot Vanguard and see for your self. In short, Vanguard is an unnecessarily intrusive piece of mal-ware that has spoiled the game for me, and thus the review. The 1 is because I think the game is fun, the rest of the rating is because I cannot play the game due to Riot Vanguard. Instead of listing the pros and cons of the actual game and giving an overall positive review, I'd rather warn potential consumers of the stunts Riot are trying to pull to battle "hackers" and "cheaters". Admirable, but when your genuine customers start being punished by said anti-cheat is where I draw the line. Stay away from this game for now if you value your PC. If they ever put a leash on this borderline virus, I'll come back and maybe be able to recommend this to you. Thanks for reading.    … Expand

Valorant is just not fun, you have to play it to understand what I mean. It is extremely boring, it mixed the worst aspects of CS:GO and Overwatch in an unholy abomination of boredom and no fun.

    Slow trash that has no original idea it’s just the culmination of many popular video games out right now smooshed together into one! Look at this self righteous 10 out of 10 ratings All of them talk about how this game is being trolled in the ratings just goes to show that other people don’t like the game and that’s their only excuse!

    I was genuinely very excited for this game. It felt like it had so much to offer and so much potential... now,after playing it after it was released I felt like the game was extremely boring and unoriginal. The maps are incredibly mundane and lacks any polish that CS:GO has. The 13 round matches are so tedious and bland... Sorry but I'm gonna pass on this game. 4/10

    It's a piss poor attempt of combining CS:GO & Overwatch. The game feels clunky and slow, not to mention that damn anti-cheat that immediately launches whenever you start your PC. Some characters are exact copies from Overwatch and it feels way too unoriginal. The graphics are meh at best.

    Riot Games should be ashamed of themselves to even think this would turn out to be a good game.

    While the new agent artwork is cooler, it still pales in comparison to Overwatch. I frequently forget the agent's names, even though there aren't that many. These characters have the personality of a wet piece of cardboard that's stuck to the wall.

    The abilities are goofy. Some get it right, and others are useless. I don't even know what to say, other than Riot should have released this beta at the end of the summer after a ton more balancing and internal playtesting.

    What's the absolute WORST thing about this game? The server infrastructure is garbage. This seems limited to Valorant (not League), and it's not a good first impression. If I have 20ms, I get a ton of kills. If it's 70ms or more, I get peeked and I'm dead before I can fire back. I've never played a game with this amount of peeker's advantage, and it's just not fun. I get it, it's a free game, and this is probably a partially-funded experiment for them, but they're not growing to grow the base with these issues. I'm glad they're waiting to re-release competitive mode, and perhaps they know of the RTT ping issues to certain parts of the country. Again, I think this is limited to whatever they chose for Valorant, because my friends and I just don't have high ping in other games.    … Expand

    If the gunplay felt nice, this game could have been fun. But ultimately, Im not going to waste 45 minutes of my life playing a game that has nothing to do with your aim or performance. One match you can shoot at someones foot and make a headshot right away - next match you shoot someone in the face 5 times since you can only see his head. Then you die and the damage report shows that you hit him 1 times in the foot and he shoot you 4 times in the chest and 2 in the head.

    Where do I even start?

    The hype for this game was blown out of proportion as it was expected. For some reason, Riot felt that there's a need for another competitive shooter despite all the fronts being covered. CS:GO is where their game took the most from, except instead of utility you have different "agents" and their abilities. As you can imagine those will be constantly updated,    Where do I even start?

    The hype for this game was blown out of proportion as it was expected. For some reason, Riot felt that there's a need for another competitive shooter despite all the fronts being covered. CS:GO is where their game took the most from, except instead of utility you have different "agents" and their abilities. As you can imagine those will be constantly updated, buffed and nerfed, which makes the game feel more like a MOBA than an actual shooter. Some agents are so good they're basically a must-have on every team, like Sage.

    In terms of gameplay it's closer to CS 1.6 than the current CS:GO. Peeker's advantage is a disaster. Tagging is insane and much stronger than CS:GO. For a tactical "shooter" there are still quite a few abilities that can kill you without you ever having to use your weapon.

    Then there's Vanguard. Riot's anti-cheat has caused numerous issues throughout the beta and surprise surprise there hasn't been an update on it besides adding the option to uninstall it/disable it. It's basically a rootkit which works from the moment you boot your PC, so it can detect any cheats. Then why is the game still filled with cheaters? In addition to that, Vanguard interferes with other programs and might cause lower fps or straight-up mess with your BIOS and melt some of your components (I wish I was joking).

    The game can run on a potato because it looks like a potato. Some people would say that CS:GO has bad and outdated graphics, but at least they were made in the last 10 years. Valorant looks like an unapproved project from the 2000s. Not that it matters though everyone's here for the "revolutionary" gameplay and competitive scene.

    Speaking of the competitive scene, there isn't one yet. Riot haven't revealed anything outside of a guide which states some requirements. This didn't stop big organizations from already hiring a full roster for the game. Those usually consist of washed-up CS:GO players and others who wanted a change from Overwatch, which is already dying.

    There's only one question, who will play this game once the hype dies out and people realize it's nothing special. Anyone giving Valorant a higher score at its current state is obviously paid to do so. Critics won't give it a single bad review because they're bought. Just read through the bad one to get a good idea what's not right with the game and don't waste your time with it.    … Expand

    -movement is slow
    -Guns dont have any identity
    -abilities are nowhere near to be balanced and imo just make the game worse
    (imagine killing 4 people and then there is a wall that keeps you away from the bomb and you lose cause 30 seconds aint enough to run around it or to destroy it ) same goes to the rpg. great skill just insta kills on aoe. wont even start with the grenades of raze)
    -maps feel boring. (only 4 maps on release)
    -Graphics. WOW in 2005 had similar graphics didnt it? abilities look ugly af. especially viper stuff
    -vanguard is just annoying. in the beginning it blocked my cpuZ and my msi rgb software

    Overall i think this game just misses its own identity. what is actually from riot here? the graphics ? well done. you are on the level of 2005.    … Expand

    This is a total copy of counterstrike, but very badly executed.

    Okay, let me start with this: If this was a random new refreshing game, it would be decent. The thing is: It is a complete copy of an exciting game and some changes were made to it to make it seem different. It’s not good though. Things are made overly complex, but not interesting. The heroes make your game more limited and    This is a total copy of counterstrike, but very badly executed.

    Riot is being lazy by trying to profit off of an existing formula. They executed it badly, and that’s why this game gets a 0 out of 10, because it’s a lazy copy, an attempt to steal players from a winning formula and not doing a good job. Don’t support this game. A good developer would create a fun and original game made form their own vision. Riot did not do that. They used their capital to steal players from an existing game. And of course they added 70 euro + skin packs from launch. It is very obvious what these devs want from you. The addictiveness of counterstrike and making you pay for it. Sorry Riot, you failed. Get your own idea’s and make an original game :)    … Expand

    There are many issues with this game. One, the maps are garbage due to their inherit claustrophobic nature where you need to check 647437867485 corners. Two, it feels like Riot sacrificed the creativity of weapons in favour of the "creativity" of abilities; the main sniper is clunky, and plays as if it was designed for one purpose of holding angles on defence. The CS:GO deagle equivalentThere are many issues with this game. One, the maps are garbage due to their inherit claustrophobic nature where you need to check 647437867485 corners. Two, it feels like Riot sacrificed the creativity of weapons in favour of the "creativity" of abilities; the main sniper is clunky, and plays as if it was designed for one purpose of holding angles on defence. The CS:GO deagle equivalent cannot head shot kill from a far distance on armoured opponents and cannot be spammed close range, decreasing the potential of this weapon. With a few exceptions, the abilities are lackluster too, aside from the ultimate abilities, which add some zest to the game play. Thirdly, the game is "bulky". Slow movement speed is the primary culprit for this, but the weapons also feel heavy and weighted-down. These three things prevent the riveting adrenaline rushes and dopamine hits i get off other tactical shooters like CS:GO where freedom to express yourself through the weapons provided is part of what makes the game so fun.

    However, on a technical basis, the game is flawless- it is smooth, can run on a potato, and has good hit registration. The cartoony graphics are polarising and look similar to over watch and TF2, but work well for the game. Easier wall banging and the perfect balance of the games' two main rifles are also amongst the games strengths. Just to add an extra note, this game will appeal to people who just couldn't hack it in CS:GO (sorry). Casual elements such as RNG sprays and abilities like Sage's heal and Raze's rocket launcher affirm this.

    Overall, the game is free, so try it if you wish. However, it isn't fun in its current form, though its potential is high in the future.    … Expand

    So much about this game is just, boring and lame. The prices for MTX are also criminally high. Like, absolutely absurd. I think GGG set MTX for Path of Exile too high, (even though I've somehow spent over 1,000 on supporter packs), but these prices make those look like dollar store price points.

    Eh, I don't know. It just doesn't feel like a "2020 gen" game. It's just a (somehow) worse version of CS with Overwatch themed heroes. Not even going to get into the rootkit level "anti cheat" (that doesn't even **** work).
    4/10

    I feel like if they would make the games "First to 7" instead of 13, it would be much more enjoyable because you wouldn't be held hostage in a bad game. Rework the weapons and add more of them. Balance the heroes and remove the extreme Kill Potential from some heroes kits, and make the game less "campy."

    The fact that you have to completely stop moving in order to shoot with any modicum of accuracy is astonishing to say the least. There is no run and gun at all, you just pitch up a tent and wait for people to walk around blind corners.    … Expand

Meanwhile the original set in the beta had a few smokes and flashes with damaging abilities doing less than 100 dmg (sova dart and ult) and your flashes are not only hard to land but also stuns for only 1 second. Healers are never a good thing in FPS. Being able to track who and how many are low is a core CS mechanic, but a healer will almost always be full health when you see them again.

I'm uncomfortable with kernel-level drivers in general, but with every other kernal-level anti-cheat system currently on the market (Easy Anti-Cheat, BattleEye, ect.) they're only active while you have the game it monitors running. Vanguard launches when you boot your PC and cannot be disabled. This means if Vanguard is ever compromised every system with it installed will have a backdoor to EVERYTHING. People with this access can do whatever they want to these systems. Some examples; steal information, monitor usage, install malware/ransomware, you name it. The sky's the limit with access to ring 0.

    Add in the fact that Riot is 100% owned by Tencent (which is practically a branch of the CCP) and I cannot bring myself to leave this game on my machine. I'd rather some cheaters fall through the cracks and get reported by the community than give you this level of access to my system.

    What's worse is that many look at it as a competitor to CS however, it offers nothing new so if you enjoy CS there's literally 0 reason to play this game. The gameplay is slow, boring, repetitive with garbage tier level design. Most games can basically be wrapped up by saying everyone takes the same positions, everytime, on the level just sitting around leaving their crosshair ready to fire. Same boring chokepoints, essentially you're just camping the entire time while you pretend there's some high level strategy (there's not, the skill ceiling is so low a toddler can play it).

    People are hungry for a competitive FPS but this isn't it chief and what makes matters worse is even if you're not interested in playing the game but are interested in watching your favorite streamer play, it doesn't matter because watching it is even more slow, boring and dreadful.

    You have kids signing up to go pro in a game that will absolutely not have a long lifetime, at least not in the spotlight, probably won't even last longer than Overwatch League.

    You'll hear some people defend it, great they like it but it's probably one of the most laughable attempts to reskin old ideas in a while.

    There may be a niche community for it that sticks around but I feel bad for streamers and pros that will get into this hardcore because it's never going to be what riot or anyone else wanted.

Мало того что античит запускается вместе с компьютером и влияет на производительность вашего ПК так оно еще и не работает, еще во время закрытого Бэта тестирования их было достаточно что бы испортить вам настроения так после выхода их стало еще больше. Да о чем может идти речь если чел стримил свою игру с читами больше недели без бана (может быть он до сих пор не получил бан). Так что я бы сказал что игра на любителя, если вам надоела CS и вы ищите игру похожую на нечто похожую то вам на недельку 2 хватит но думаю вам она надоест быстрее. Игра на даном этапе явна сыровата плюс то что у русского комьюнити нету доступа к голосовому чату делает ее оооочень нудной.… Expand

    I hope there is a special hell for cheap reskin developers like Riot Games. Please donate your resources to CD Project Red and delete your company.

    Really slow and they aren’t joking when they say **** maps. Gunplay is unpredictable with the RNG spray so why try to make a boring, luck based game competitive. There’s also no new concepts compared to previous search and destroy games. Won’t be playing anymore, it feels oddly forced when I do.

Terraria got updated will most likely play that alongside CS:GO, over watch, LOL, and whatever isn’t valorant. Deleted on day one gang wya??… Expand

    Лучше купите Overwatch, или на крайний случай поиграйте в CS, все лучше, чем ставить себе на машинный уровень анти-чит, работающий 24/7
    А если по пунктам:
    *Античит на машинном уровне *Графика мезозоя *Какой-то недоразвитый плод кски и овервотча    Лучше купите Overwatch, или на крайний случай поиграйте в CS, все лучше, чем ставить себе на машинный уровень анти-чит, работающий 24/7

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game seems to be unfinished. The gameplay is slow, a lot of bugs and the spread of bullets is not random, i.e. it can be learned.… 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.

    At first, this looks like just another Counterstrike clone. But there’s more depth and variety, despite the lack of content.

    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.
