    I've actually played this during beta, so I have no clue what may have changed. However, I do not care to what changes there are on the official release day as this game has honestly pissed me off. //TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT//

    As someone who comes from Overwatch (the other game in which people compare this to, even though the only related things are "Agents", skills and ultimates), this game is incredibly slow paced for me. Movement feels dragging, and the game favors camping. It's like you're better off just sitting still if you want to avoid bullets than moving around. The guns don't feel right, and more times than not the skills and ultimates can be counter-productive to use. They probably wanted it to be more like real life and make it more of a challenge, and I get that, but it just makes me NOT want to use certain skills for the sake of my team and me.

    I majorly dislike the game and I don't think it's for me because it's way too slow, and it's easy to pick off people if you're in a good spot. Maybe in the official release that game improved, maybe not. My patience isn't high enough to return to this game yet, and when I do, I'll give a more up-to-date review. Until then, **** this game.

    Параша, тупо клон овервотча и кс, с самым худшимы их чертами. Для школньников со слабыми ПК в самый раз, для нормальных людей - нет. Короче, не рекомендую никому.

    What is it trying to be? Its not a competitive shooter because a lot of rng and just unfair "abilities". It also plays much slower than overwatch and the gubplay feels wonky at times. I wqs so frustrated some times with the fact that you can never know where an enemy will come fom and retakes wre soooo bad. Thr map design is worthless.

    I tried to like this game, i really did, but it is just so bad...
    Coming from both CS and OW, i gave this game a chance, but it combines the worst parts of overwatch, with some badly copied core mechanics from CS
    just keep that in mind, this is my personal subjective opinion, people may disagree but these are my personal experiences with the game: The ultimates that can kill you

    Coming from both CS and OW, i gave this game a chance, but it combines the worst parts of overwatch, with some badly copied core mechanics from CS

    just keep that in mind, this is my personal subjective opinion, people may disagree but these are my personal experiences with the game:
    The ultimates that can kill you across the map, it feels terrible to play against, even if there might be some counterplay, it doesnt feel right. at the end of the day someone just presses a button on his keyboard and if you dont have the perfect response you would automatically die.

    the maps are pretty bad. every map is a bunch of deep 90 degrees corner camping fiesta.
    every corridor feels like the one right next to it.
    to distinguish one map from another they added a gimmick to each map: teleporters on bind, no mid on split, 3 bomb sites on haven.
    only the new map that they have added is relatively "standard" (is that its gimmick? being standard?).
    what im trying to say is that instead of having a different feel for every map, they all feel the same to me, with an exception to the different gimmick that they all have.

    the defined role of every character is kind of boring, kind of reduces the amount of ways you can play as a player.
    for example, brimstone/sage are support, phoenix is an entry fragger, breech can flash his way into a site but cant block sightlines on his own in a clutch or during post plant, ect...
    In valorant your character selection defines your playstile, where in CS the player defines his own playstile.
    mastering the game mechanics and map knowledge is what enables you to be a good entry fragger, or a good support player, or a good clutch player
    what im trying to say, is that in CS the baseline is even, and the choices you make in game decides the outcome of the round, or even the game, and you have all the possibilities to play every style you want, instead of doing it in the pregame select screen and be stuck with it for the rest of the game

    also, the addition of characters like sova and cypher is so wrong in this type of game.
    you basically take game sense and map awareness, and you throw it out the window.
    who even needs a brain when you can stick a camera to some wall, deploy a trap, shoot wallhack arrows and the occasional death laser, or use a global map hack

    and of course, there is vanguard.
    i turned it off between play sessions, because i dont trust them to not destroy something about my motherboard or GPU drivers, and i forgot about it, so when i opened up the game again, i was greeted by some message about vanguard and having to reboot my PC, i didnt think much about it and i just clicked the button
    my PC shut down instantly, i wasnt given an option to cancel, closing all of my files, tabs and programs, and making me deal with windows update.
    you can say its my fault for not realizing it when i was telling the game to reboot my PC, and you would probably be right. i felt incredibly dumb 3 seconds after i pressed that button.
    but i have never had a game restart my PC before, it just didnt register with my brain at that moment that this is what was going to happen.

    so yeah, just add my not so bright moment to the collection of issues that other people reported having with vanguard, it adds up to a pretty terrible user experience

    P.S.
    just a tip for other people who are looking to uninstall the game, you have uninstall vanguard separately from your machine as it will not uninstall itself when you uninstall the main game

    This game is the most braindead game I have ever played in my entire life. Not only can you run and shoot there are also the most stupid abilities ever created. There is no sense of reward after hours of playing. Don't play this hot garbage trash when you can play overwatch or cod or cs go. The maps are also the most insanely stupid things I have ever seen in games

    Below average f2p CS clone that does not understand what makes CS work.
    Movement and gunplay are on par with any generic chinese free to play shooter. Maps are absolutely terrible and completely miss the point what makes "tactical shooter" maps good.

    This game doesn't do anything innovative or fun, it's all taken from other hero shooters, in my experience it doesn't bring anything new to the table and it isn't even the best at what it does.

    The anticheat is invasive and people can already bypass it, the developers posted a few posts on it literally calling themselves god of some sort for designing it but it greatly exposes the user.

    Really wanted to like this after all the hype, the amount of streamers and views but its just meh.

    The gunplay is so so, the gameplay is clunky and slow paced and the other than the item shop (of course) and front end it's just not very polished. Killing someone isn't satisfying, the games are too long and are a snoozefest. If you are going to "borrow" heavily from two of the major games

If you are going to "borrow" heavily from two of the major games on the market you better do something with it that makes it stand out. Unfortunately there are much better options, games that have done it so much better and while yes this is a free game, the price of skins is outrageous (I know you don't have to buy them but this is its model to make money and peer pressure will dictate young people must have the latest skin)

    Its obvious that this has been made with esports in mind, i just don't see how this can be compelling viewing or exciting to see people plod around a map for 30 minutes.

Apart from not having launched with servers on the largest continents, which causes an extremely high PING.

    F*** this game. It has no new gameplay mechanics to offer. Everything is recycled from other games with more character. The heroes are reminiscent of Overwatch, the bare-bones shooting mechanics rival CSGO and the art style reminds me of Paladins. So yes, if you have played none of these games before, its amazing.

    But as a heavy duty *ahem* seasoned gamer all I can say is F Valorant.

    But as a heavy duty *ahem* seasoned gamer all I can say is F Valorant. This is the Didi to the Uber of CSGO. However I feel such a game does not encourage new ideas in the gaming industry. There is no real competition other than marketing between these games. All the aforementioned titles have better execution at their chosen gameplay mechanics.

    We need to nuture innovation, what the gaming industry flourishes on. Look at Fortnite, a game which built on battle royale mechanics and combined them with Minecraft's build system. However, where Epic's masterpiece was an interesting combination of its predecessors mechanics, Valorant instead plays out as a banal blend of normality.
    F*** Valorant.

    This needed more time in the oven. Also, I don't want foreign software in my kernel.
    In these types of games, damage is a bad way to go for abilities. This changes the game into a spam fest and less of a shooter game. The focus needs to be shooting, not overpowered damage abilities. Look at Apex legends, none of those abilities are direct damage.

    The gameplay is very slow. When you run, you're being heard from another part of the Universe. So you should always walk to not being very vulnerable.
    Everyone hits with headshots all the time. Where are all that skillful aimers in another FPS?
    Cheaters! CS have these too, but Valve has a huge experience dealing with them.

    For example. They go for a cartoony art style but to make the game fair they made every colour flat. So then what's the point? Either commit to a cartoon style like TF2 or make a flat realistic style like CSGO. You can't have both. The

The same goes for map design, guns, character abilities as well as the economics of round to round.

    By trying to appeal to everyone, they appeal to no-one. And by tying to hijack other community playerbases instead of trying to make one of its own that will stick around, I don't see this lasting.

    Slow, clunky and not that much fun. Maps are small and confined and while the abilities are nice enough, it doesn't help much on the overall feel of the game. If you want an ability driven game, there is Overwatch. If you want a tactical shooter, there's Rainbow Six. Valorant tries to be a tactical ability shooter, and ends up falling short on everything.

    Valorant is slow, boring, too sweaty, and unfinished. It came out way to rushed and never came close to CSGO polish.

    4) Power system feels too complex and will always limit the casual gamer. There is a reason TF2 is a classic, different characters abilities were so easy to pick up. Same for Overwatch. For Valorant, its just a colorful mess being spammed on the map.

    This is why Valorant is not for me. I have no doubt that it will garner a fanbase of hardcore nerds, just like when Diablo Mobile Version comes out.

Чтобы купить безвкусный псевдомодернистский скин тебе нужно втюхать Риотам от 500 до 1,5к, хотя ты даже не будешь им пользоваться.
    Они просто взяли и нагло скопировали оружие у своего конкурента, сделав его хуже и просто сменив названия. Я, конечно, понимаю, что в нынешнее время сложно придумать что-то уникальное, но кмон, брать и копировать оружие, коего в мире просто навалом, у своего главного конкурента это просто...
    Графику могли завести и получше. Если хотите, чтобы игроки могли играть и у них все тянуло, даже если они играют на тостерах, то для этого есть опция "низкое качество", коим могло быть нынешнее.

    It’s honestly just really really boring there’s not much really special about it. People say it’s like overwatch and cs, I would also add rainbow six into the mix because it’s more tactical and it would work if it was more balanced and overall just more interesting it’s quite boring and there’s not much really special about it.

    Decent shooter but there are lots of those. This doesnt really add to much and is just somewhere between csgo and overwatch. Its really cartoony thats a pro or con depending on taste but I tend to like a splash more realism like in Counter Strike or Call of duty. The guns are so generic its painful. Its a very chaotic game that let average players have moments of glory but can feel very rng. I think most high skill players will feel more satisfied playing other fps.

    My true complaints are, bad customer service I felt ripped of during beta for some thing I bought and couldnt refund even tho I barely used them. Customer service treated me like garbage even tho my issues were their fault. (I had problems with the anticheat messing up my computer.)

    Invasive anti cheat program really needs to be shut down too. Its a bad precedent having games have that much root level control over your PC. Also the devs have been caught siding with their anti cheat over a large group of casual players. Not worrying about alienating loads of players to stop a few cheaters reminds me of kneejerk over reach. Like not being able to take shampoo on the plane because of liquid laws

    End of the day Riot fanyboys and streamers are going to keep this game in the spotlight for a bit but I dont think its going to turn into the next big esport fps like I was hoping it would. its to average and riots devs have to much tunnel vision on this one. The anti-cheat alone has already divided the player base and the game just came out.

Regarding this issue RIOT's support has mostly been ignoring it or even denying this happening & if they accept it as something that exists they say "we'll fix this", yet it hasn't happened & this has been the case since the closed beta. As well as the Game is unpolished and rushed it has been released way to early which resulted in a lot of issues regarding mission tracking, mission rewarding, contract rewarding. To conclude it's a mess of a joke & it could have potential but as with all games who could have or have potential it's just potential it's most likely not going to happen in the next year or so & probably won't ever happen.

    As a game that is trying to compete against the likes of CS:GO, Valorant takes the worst parts of Rainbow Six Siege (traps that interfere with your aim) and "innovate" by implementing maps with 3 bomb sites.

El diseño de interfaz y el arte son exquisitos... pero hay más errores que honores. Las diferentes armas no destacan y hay otras que son completamente inútiles debido al diseño de mapas como lo es la sniper. Las texturas son de baja calidad, y eso es insultante a los tiempos que corren... Los personajes parecen sacados de Paladins pero descafeinados (Estan bien hechos... pero les falta salsa...). Los escenarios son muy pobres y vacíos. ¡Sólo hay un estilo de juego! y lo más triste es que el modo de juego más divertido es la versión reducida del de rankeds... Es un juego que se torna aburrido con el paso de un rato... Es muy fácil matar... Se extraña un botón para agacharse, y aunque la mecánica de apuntar es muy satisfactoria, penaliza demasiado la movilidad además de que al recibir un disparo te ralentiza aún más firmando tu pase a morir... Además de que el reaparecer se puede tornar muy, muuuuuuy lento debido a que debes esperar la siguiente ronda... Lo cual no es divertido para un juego como este. Se nota que quisieron tomar Overwatch y CS:GO y los hicieron tener un hijo con retraso xD Se nota que lo sacaron a las carreras porque ¡LOS AGENTES NO TIENEN SKINS! Que es lo que más se compra en este tipo de juegos Free to play... Y lo peor es que ya no es una beta, que se le podría perdonar todo, pero no... No le doy menos nota porque le veo mucho potencial, pero hasta la fecha le falta mucho para lograr alcanzar a su hermano mayor LOL... Lo siento Valorant llegas 21 años tarde a la fiesta de CS

    Olvidé mencionar las habilidades. Me sorprende que hay muchas habilidades que realmente son muy útiles para manejar a los adversarios, es decir las habilidades que te permiten bloquear la visibilidad o el paso... pero hay otras habilidades que quedan totalmente inútiles cuando le das la capacidad a un arma de matar de uno o dos tiros a la cabeza... por lo cual los agentes con habilidades de daño directo no sirven de mucho. Ya se verá como el meta del juego van a ser sólo disparos a la cabeza, y las habilidades no servirán de nada...

    Ah y otra cosa... el diseño de sonido es terrible :/

They released it like a week after closing the Beta. Why? This **** Game is just not ready to be out of the Beta. Nothings works correctly. They promised "no peekers advantage" and what did we get ? Run and gun in a Skill based competitive game. Im LE in CSGO and i would say i got decent aim in Valorant, but its not effecting my Gameplay. Im getting Shot in the Head from guys running around corners so often, i cant even count it anymore. This Problem is there since the "release of the fullversion" and nobody is fixing it. They are bringing out new Skins and stupid **** you can buy with real money but dont fix the **** game. Skins are way toooo expensive and they dont even look that good for the prices. They try be CSGO and try not be CSGO and this dosent work out well. There are Charakters with Grenades that deal 78 Damage even if you are like 10 meters away, there are Rocket louchers that kill you One Shot within a range of 10 Meters, there are Robots that you throw out and they detect a enemie for you and explode if its close to you and thats just one character...
    All characters got some kind of ability thats super strong but theres also Reyna, the New Character. She is anything but balanced gameplay. She got a flashbang that only flashes enemies, she can turn invincible and unvisible and she can heal herself up to 150 health. Even in pistol rounds where normal players could only have 100 health. There was not 1 single game i played where a reyna wasnt the top fragger. This game is just not fun anymore and i dont know how you can ruin a game like this. How can you **** it up so hard that the beta full of bugs was better then the actual game. People said its CSGO for noobs that need op abilitys to get kills and i always tried to change their opinion, but right now im actually thinking the same way. I got aim and i got map knowledge, i played very much games and i know how the game and weapons work, but having normal gunfights where im looking on the enemie and not getting hit by a rocket, flashed by a floating eyeball or just hunted down with a bow that shoots through walls is not happening that often. I dont even know what exactly they changed after the beta but the whole thing just dosent feels right anymore.
    Every day when im starting up the game im thinking if its really an good ideal to play a round because its just making me aggressive to get ****ed by people that just run while they shot and its working out for them. Strave shooting, Strave peeking crouch spraying, you cant do anything against this run and gun **** And again they try to be csgo and dont try to be csgo but why would you make spray patterns that are different every time? thats so **** stupid. In Csgo you want to learn the game so you learn the sprays, thats high skilled **** i want to see. But how needs guns that shoot in any direction after the first 8 bulletts ( these are random too but in a more consistend way) ? And then there is scoping... oh god please why scoping in a csgo clone? thats not it ... if you shoot while scoping the firing rate and the spray apttern is changing. I dont understand why they are building in stupid **** like that. Be a CSGO with abilitys but without **** op **** characters that can do 1v5 or unlearnable spray patterns. How should i improve my aim if there is nothing to improve because its **** random everytime you fire the gun? In CSGO im always try to perfectionate my spray downs and in this game im feeling like a silver 1 player his first matchmaking because the weapon is going anywhere when im trying to pratice my spray controll.
    I dont know why they arent fixing **** atm. In the Beta they patched every week and everybody was happy. Did they earn enough money to this point so they dont need to bring out patches? Its been 3 weeks and since there we all want a reyna patch and nothing is coming. They are nerfing anybody else but not her. This Run and Headshot **** is pissing of the commuity as well. reddit is full of complainings but theyre not doing **** about it.
    I hope this game dies as fast as it got the hype!
    Riot fix your stupid game and dont let the players wait until they dont want to play anymore. For **** players it might not be a problem but for players that know they got atleast a good aim are pissed of by this mechanics of shooting.

However, the basis of the game revolves around this hyper competitiveness and is not inherently fun. The concept of the game is not bad but when put into application, riot manages to make another slow, tedious game. I do not say its slow because of the precise timing or movements, but because the lack of balance leads to generic stand off situations that constantly reoccur. IE: smoke is everywhere, we wait. Fire is everywhere, we wait. Wall has been put up, we wait. The game takes on this routine flow of mundaneness with an occasion cool play or pop off. In addition to this, the weapons in the game hinder your experience by so much. Instead of normal weapon bloom or recoil, unique spray patterns that resemble no firearm known to man inhabit all of the guns. You will often find yourself missing easy (I cannot stress this easy enough) shots and just getting fed up with this overkill spray pattern **** The graphics leaves and user interface leave much to be desired and feel very mediocre. The game is dumb for dumb reasons. Riot could have easily made so many things better but we are stuck with this half baked CSGO-Overwatch inbred.

    Spray patterns are lazy, maybe 10-12 bullets of the spray are consistent then just a lazy right left till the end of the clip.
    The economy has nothing to it, really basic. Probably due to the fact, all the abilities cost so little so it turns into 1 round save and next full buy.
    Maps. Split feels so claustrophobic, almost like your battling against the map rather than the other team sometimes. The maps are either meh average or bad. They only brought out 4 MAPS... and all pretty poor.
    Abilities. We were told there would be no lethal abilities.. they brought out RAZE that has all lethal abilities... DEVS don't know there own game. They cost 2 little. no character should get abilities for free. When you die you should lose them all. No outplay to some ultimates, just really uncompetitive gameplay.
    The peakers advantage has not been fixed, its in fact really bad.
    The hit detection is really bad also, many clips online about how bad it actually is, this might be a connection issue though and hopefully can be fixed soon.

    The game is not good to watch. The youtube, twitch views have dropped massively... EVEN ON LAUNCH. During twitch rivals it wasn't even number 1 on twitch.. streamers and YouTubers didn't come back... people just didn't like it, competitive team play or ranked was just not fun to watch.

    Nearly all these issues can be worked on and fixed, I do hope the game improves and is a rival to CSGO, cause already we have csgo greatly improve thanks to the potential scare of Valorant.. I am worried that will fade now they release they don't have anything to worry about in its current state.
    I had full intentions of making a team and trying to compete in this game.. I was really disappointed, but maybe my fault for having such high expectations so soon.
    CSGO wasn't good the first year it was out either. So I have hope still but right now very average game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For someone like myself who is used to 144 fps gaming but anyways i tried the game today but quickly uninstalled due to motion sickness.The game runs too slow maybe 20 fps like some console, Settings has no Fov settings, can't adjust monitor to 144 and i don't even care if its free. Who said i cant pay 100 bucks for well optimized games but i will def retry the game soon as the above mention is fixed. Expand

    The game is pretty solid in its idia of combining tactical shooter gameplay with character abilities, but the balancing of some abilities is just plain trash.

Furthermore, her ult is beyond ridiculous: She she gets an insane fireratebuff, heals automaticly after every kill, and gets temporarily INVISIBLE , INVULNERABE AND UNHEARABLE if she uses her Q-ability. Meanwhile, Viper has a molotov that deals almost no damage and an enemy can bhop through it with almost full life. The kits of the Valorant characters are not balanced at all which absolutely ruins the game experience. Expand

    Quite literally, the most boring FPS I've ever had the displeasure of encountering; and on top of that a Root Kit by a company owned by Tencet. This game will never ever be installed on my PC, ever. Riot as a Dev is a no-go from me from now on.

    Pure trash, unplayable and very unoptimized game with constant "Low client fps" "High ping" despite having a decent internet connection (Other games outside SEA server has a pretty stable connection & ping) and a laptop that meets the recommended system requirements. Uninstalled this pure **** trashlorant of a game

You dont get to feel the guns and u dont need much skill for guns bcs recoil is kinda random pattern, ping is still high average is i would say about 45, while they promised 35 for all at max, some characters have dumb abilities and others are literally soI literally just created account so i could give this games a huge 0.

    Take csgo, remove the ability to get a kill if you miss your first 3 bullets, kneecap everyone so you move slightly slower than a turtle with a methamphetamine addiction and remove all nuance and skill from flashbangs and smoke grenades. you're now working with the basic building blocks of this game.

    However the real turd in this **** sandwich is the map design, despite picking up some supposedly talented mapper from cs go, all the maps in this game seem purposefully designed to highlight all the problems the game play has to offer, with every corner deep enough to hide me and ten friends in, making clearing corners a exercise in herculean patience and a spawn system designed to have you waiting around for 20 seconds knifing a clear wall just so you can instantly get into a uninspired gun battle, only broken up by smokes fired from across the map or the worst flashbang abilities i've personally ever come across. even cod stun grenades have more going on than the flashes in this game.

    all this to say don't bother touching this game for a good 6 months, playing about 50 matches of it made me consistently worse at shooting people as the boredom started killing brain cells. Let the 12 year olds playtest the thing for riot, I wouldn't force my worst enemy to play this hunk of garbage theres a limit to human cruelty

    The idea is csgo+overwatch but the problem is that game feels like slow, for example, the operator is very very slow and bad. It's like a Chinese copy of csgo but with things that kill for u (powers)

    It's mediocre af, basically babies' first Counter Strike. Movement too slow, abilities too braindead, and maps are too **** for it to ever truly compete with CS though.

    The game has the potential to be a highly competitive tactical shooter to challenge the likes of R6 and CSGO; however, Riot has never made an FPS before and it absolutely shows.

The maps are extremely poorly designed and do not flow the way any FPS should. The game also fails on a fundamental level, things like movement accuracy and random recoil remove all skill from the game and make it heavily dependent upon luck. The agents in the game are also extremely unfun to play against, 9/10 times you will be permanetly zoned or trapped by an ability that takes minimal skill to use. The lack of answer from Riot about complaints towards broken and unbalanced characters also speaks magnitudes for the future this game has. I wouldn't reccomend it in the current state as it lacks the fulfillment and longevity fun factor of other FPSs on the market. 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.
