    I've been playing cs:go for quite a long time and when I first played Valorant I was very disappointed in the gameplay because of a few major points:

    1. The feel of the game which can be branched into two points which are. How the guns feel and how the character movement feels. when using the guns you don't feel the recoil as much as cs:go and the bullets do not sound very good.

How the guns feel and how the character movement feels. when using the guns you don't feel the recoil as much as cs:go and the bullets do not sound very good. And the movement of the characters feel very slow and when this speed is used in a large map, gunfights generally take a lot longer than in other games which leads to a tiring experience.

    2. How rounds play out. In cs:go the round has phases and in overwatch the same can be said about team fights. So far when I have played valorant it's been a lot of running and gunning with no real structure to it which makes the rounds feel more repetitive.

    Just a side note: I think that the devs need to fix the economy problem in the game because it never feels like im running out of money to spend on guns.    … Expand

The gun play is broken with the hit registration, not to mention how broken some guns are, the Odin is the second most expensive gun and fires 15 rounds per second, it takes less than a second to get mowed down by a gun with 300 rounds and no recoil and can wall bang through concrete. The snipers in the game are also way to broken, the lever action rifle has 100% hip fire accuracy and is a 2 shot body one shot head shot with a fire rate of 1.5 shots a second, and the other sniper is a one shot anywhere except the leg but even a leg shot will kill you if you don't have heavy shield. The banning system is as bad as the game itself with me encountering at least one hacker a day. The match making claims to be skilled based matchmaking yet I verse plats and diamonds after I lose 4 games in a row. I was hyped about his games release and was happy to play it but it was at about day 3 that I realized the recoil with AR's are horrendous and the mechanics are bad, but in the end I shouldn't expect much more from a game that took to great games (CSGO/Overwatch) and put them together and what looks like a mobile game company could do better.… Expand

    Valorant is if a Chinese company tried to copy and paste csgo and overwatch. Much like Legend of Runeterra, Riot tried to grab the best thing about every game and mash it into one.

Headshot head box is way too big in this game, this leads to everyone using the vandal that 1 shot headshot. The operator is very broken, even riot stated it themselves and yet almost 2 months has passed and they done nothing. Game is also super dependent on sound, so if you're hearing impaired, don't bother with this game.

    Basically, if you play for it's gameplay style, just play csgo as they honed this style of gameplay for over a decade. And no I'm not a csgo fanboy because i hate that game too, but it still feels many times better than valorant. And if you play for it's agents and abilities, just play overwatch. If you play for both, then just play rainbow siege. And if you just looking for a top notch fps game, play titanfall 2.    … Expand

    El juego esta bien, buenas animaciones y demás. Pero tiene 2 grandes problemas: solo 2 modos de juego y afk. En casi todas las partidas te vas a encontrar a un afk y no hay nada que joda más un juego `competitivo` que un afk. Tras varias partidas lo desistalo una mierda.

I just feel like you spend more time watching your teammates play rather than you playing yourself. This is a problem that most tactical shooters have and only one shooter has really solved. Rainbow Six Siege. In Siege while you may be dead, you can still mark enemies and watch cameras you set up to effectively still assist your teams success. And the simple answer isn't just get good cause everyone dies now and again. Valorant is a great game made for a very specific crowd, and that's it's main problem and it still hasn't been shown that this issue can ever be solved.… Expand

    The game has some potential, but for the time it gets boring real fast, even if you are playing ranked. You dont get the feeling of teamplay like you do in CS:GO for example. Another major critic is the map design and the mm. I feel like the maps could be so much better, with more details, cover and so on.

    Just an empty game with terrible matchmaking, smurfs everywhere, and apparently no punishments for toxic players and leavers. Store prices for skins are STUPID high... we are talking $80 for a few skins. Cringy voice-lines, no storyline, completely unfinished and amazingly low quality for a company like riot games.

    The game looks cartoonish with slowest and the longest matches 42 mins with other problems as well. Matchmaking are nightmare in a competitive, bad agents design and abilities, game need more maps with descent level design, shop items are more expensive then new cyberpunk game , hitboxes never registered when u got clean headshots, sometimes feel like playing luck base game.

    Where to start?
    The "new" in this game is that flashes smokes and HE are now in character "skills" with addition to a few new cool things which obviously what everyone wants to play as but cant due to having no map control for the very same stupid reason
    All they had to do is keep frags where they are but add some cool abilities,yet they they didnt even bother to do something creative and just filled the spots with basic things instead and also locked the normal usage for them
    Weapons are exact same,just reskins in high-tech,but the funny point is that they are LESS balanced in their sprays and how they feel
    Pacing is worse,its too slow and relies too much on your positioning or reaction,staggers from getting shot in this game feel even worse then in alternatives, basically freezing you in place from even smallest caliber weapons,who TF thought this was a good idea making it not possible to dodge?this literally makes it in to camping game unless someone has a flash or smoke
    and so it wouldnt be boring to watch in pro-scene they cut down the rounds,which is like okey sure,if it was the only problem
    yeah pro-scene.....this "wanna-be-E-sports" **** is everywhere you can think,and mark my words they will use all of their effort to make this in to one
    Monetisation is a f@cking meme no less,the pricing on those is insane,the only point why this could be better then other is that you can BUY them directly rather then roll the dice in cases,but even then its horrible if you look what you get for that amount of money,i am better off buying actual games with that
    Maps......honesly if they just copied the maps from older CS it wouldnt be so bad....oh wait....thats what they did, but actually managed to mess it all up somehow with them feeling bland
    splitting different regions in completely different serves not letting people from US and RU play together.....no,def a pass on this as well
    Oh and yeah if you happen to live quite far from server hosts you can go f@ck yourself bcs noone cares to make a good cover with a good netcode, i have no more then 10-20 ping in CS,yet this **** manages to skyrocket my ping up to 70-120,and when you play against full party of 5-10 ping players this is just unplayable

    The ONLY good part about all of this is that we MIGHT get a better iteration of this later so CS wouldnt be the only choice for competitive shooters,but i doubt valorant will every get to that point remaning the **** side-kick this deserves to be    … Expand

    The worst gun play on any FPS I have ever played. Atrocious game play, Clunky movements, unbalanced agents, MMR is a joke, you either stomp or get stomped, and maps are designed by 5 years old with several points to exploit when defending or attacking. The whole game feels like a complete and wonky toin coss. Especially with the randomized Spray Pattern. Stay away from this game.

Cheats... yeah, they're in there. Way too many "one shot kill" players with headshot after headshot. Body shots do far too little damage. Way too easy to get headshots. Purchasing of weapons at the start of each round, pathetic design. 13 wins in a standard match? It's ok when you have "balanced teams" (i.e. teams with no one actually hacking or cheating) and the score gets to 10 vs 11 -- but that is VERY VERY rare. Usually you're down by 7 games by the time sides switch -- you already know who's going to win. It's just prolonged agony -- especially when you call a surrender vote and one or more idiots refuse to surrender to the obvious. Do I recommend this game -- absolutely not.

The game also feels completely lifeless. The abilities are pretty lack luster, the voice lines are bad, and the guns and gun play are awful.

    Karakter skilleri falan fena değil aslında ama vuruş hissi ve Riot'un asla dengeleme sağlayamaması, split'in kaldırılıp yerine yeni haritanın gelmesi, battle pass'in asla ücretsiz kullanıcılara ödül vermemesi gibi Rito'nun aldığı saçma kararlardan ötürü asla oynanılacak bir oyun gibi değil.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Локации в игре крайне монотонны, нет ярко выраженных черт, что вызвало у меня ощущение, будто я попал в лабиринт из живой изгороди в котором легко заблудиться.

    Играя в эту игру я испытывал скуку и уже на 5-м раунде спрашивал - "Да когда же матч закончится?". Играя я вспоминал, как недавно играл в CoD: MW, вспоминал какая динамичная и быстрая была эта игра. Сравнивая эти игры я увидел на сколько далеко ушли современные шутеры и что игры на подобие CS и PoinBlank морально устарели. А в том же Rainbow Six Siedge не самый динамичный геймплей компенсируют тактические возможности оперативников и интерактивное окружение.

    Valorant really does not stand out with other FPS games in the same category, while it was released later that the gameplay and systems are not too special to be a game icon. Slow, boring, smooth but somehow bulky, guns feel eye-catching are words to describe Valorant.

It is simply a mediocre free to play game. It says so often that its not cs yet everything is stolen from cs. Hell even the AWP is the OP. This gunplay is weak and sluggish. Every single gun feels like it has no weight. The abilities are horribly unbalanced right now and movement is a the worst aspect of this game. It tries so hard to be cs movement but then fails at all aspects. It is still possible to run and shoot with a gun that is not an smg and even then counter straffing barely works. This whole game's identity is a cs and ow killer yet instead it feels like a mediocre cash grab mix between the two. In addition to sluggish gameplay, the maps are just horrible. They want it to replicate a mixture of a cs map and lol map but it just doesn't work. The bugs, (the few that there are) can be gamebreaking. For example I got a bug where I had no UI, aka, no map, no ammo count, no ability UI, no health bar, so I constantly had to reload after every kill and had to play purely off of sound. This game right now, I just cannot simply recommend, especially since it seems like they are more focused on skins then improving the actual game. In addition, Riot's support is a joke. This can be the 'CS and OW killer' if they simply put in more effort. The only reason why I can say to play this game is that it is free to play and currently does not have that many cheaters even if the hackers are figuring out ways to get around the intrusive anti-cheat that I'm still worried about since it is a Chinese owned company that is using this anti-cheat.
    Edit: I have come back to this rating because of the announcement of the elderflame skin set. Further proving my point that riot cares less about the game and its player base but more for the pro-scene and skins. The exact thing that is killing overwatch right now    … Expand

    But the biggest issue with that game is that it is very slow, punishing quick play, and you really feel as a wood post that walks and aim.
    Also the aiming is very badly implemented: to have a proper precision you have no choice but to lower the sensitivity of your mouse big time (so it's only made for a certain fringe of players).

However there are just far too many shortfalls for this game to be considered worthy of your time. We can pardon a few of them considering it's fresh new game from a studio known for one of the most salty MOBA available to the commoner. For example the finickiness of the servers. Even my friend (who mind you has a much better internet connection) has troubles with network. Lately I have even been experiecing massive lag spikes comparable to that of a DDOSed Siege servers. Another pardonable miss step is the balance. Now onto the spicy stuff.
    Peaker's advantage
    I have played a few FPS games (CSGO, R6S, OverWatch among the multiplayer ones), however I have never experienced such unfairness when it comes to peaking. It feels disgusting to peak and even worse to get peaked. You just know that the other player couldn't even react to your elegant one tap. This combined with one of the lowest TTKs I have experienced makes for a knife's edge feeling when playing but you're just always on the wrong side. I do like 128 tick servers but you never get the full of them since you just die by a peak most of the time.
    Map angles
    This might be a personal preference but I really don't like the maps' design of Valorant. The bottlenecks feel really chok-ey, the open angles are too revealing and structure of the plant sites doesn't feel right. Also is it just me or some places just feel like reskins of CSGO's maps?
    Agents
    Hanzo reskin, for real? I mean the agents themselves are not terrible (though some abilities like Raze's grenade or whole of Reyna might need some tweaking). I like ebb and flow of some agents, Omen has a great out-play potential, Breach is good at breaching and so on. Nevertheless it still feels a bit stiff and robotical. Also what I'm really disappointed about is seeing a Hanzo reskin, for how many opportunities you had to create something original this just feels like lazy design.
    Last but not least, player skill balance
    I admit, it is a game that's straight out of the oven. But man I'm getting bored of the system's overestimation of my skill. 8 losses in a row (6 total stomps and 2 very close games) doesn't really encourage me to play further. There was a 3 win streak...once. I have to confess my gaming skill isn't perfect yet I don't think that constantly loosing is what's in my capabilities.
    Bonus facts
    Winning isn't satisfying and loosing tilts af. Getting killed will make you feel powerless and killing doesn't give you any emotions. All guns look the same and feel the same within each class. Tryharding doesn't feel rewarding.

    To conclude, try it out but don't get too tilted. You might find fun where all I saw was tilt. Just don't waste your time with trying to make it work when you can't.    … Expand

Every round you die and then you see the enemy or you shoot in the head (clearly you see and hear the bullet hitting the head) and if you are lucky you got leg reg. this game is already dead! A shooter that doesn't shoot! Surely developers are very busy making skins and sell them for 100$. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!

    The worst in-game store in online games that exists. Players who bought a set in beta are now gathering dust in the game currency. Talking about unstable servers and terrible optimization of the game does not even make sense. The game had potential, but the developers seem to regard it as a one-day project for making money.

    Valorant had a good concept and idea, but the execution was really not good. The game feels like a washed down version of CS:GO with abilities.

The game feels like a washed down version of CS:GO with abilities. The movement feels clunky, the economy doesn't feel impactful, although the gun play is satisfying, the randomness of the recoil pattern is really frustrating. The random recoil patterns would not be a problem, if the the randomness would be less drastic. The maps are absolutely horrible, and not fun to play. They feel incredibly cluttered, and often gives the defenders an advantage. There are way too many unnecessary angles and corners, sites that are borderline impossible to retake, and can make the player feel very claustrophobic. The agent abilities are fun to play with, but some of the abilities are a lot more overpowered, meanwhile some are severely under powered. The abilities can also create a significant amount of visual clutter, which are really distracting, and can be really frustrating a lot of times. Riot made an attempt to counter peeker's advantage, except they did an awful job at doing so. In Valorant, peeker's advantage is severely worse than most other tactical shooters. Along with the horrendous map design, and a variety of offensive abilities that can reduce, block , remove vision, and abilities that reduce movement, accuracy, and rate of fire, it makes a nightmare for who ever is being pushed/on the receiving end. Just like CS:GO, the audio engine/directional sound is also less than desirable. I often find it difficult to pin point the location of an enemy, just from their footsteps, the footsteps often sound closer than where it actually is. The directional sound is manageable, and I can get a general direction of where the footstep is coming from, left, right, in front, or behind.
    Valorant launched with 128 tick servers for all of it's game modes, which I would praise riot games for doing, except the hit registration in this game is not good. A lot of times i would see the blood splatter effect when i shoot someone, yet they would not take any damage, so hopefully that would be fixed very soon.

    Valorant is not all bad, the characters are interesting and diverse, the game has great optimization, so any computer can run it at a playable frame rate, which is amazing. The graphics do not bother me too much, because as long as the visibility is good and the colors contrast from the agents, I am happy(although the abilities do bottleneck the visibility A LOT). The HUD is clean and gives enough information, and is not overwhelming, which I really like. But overall, the negatives outweigh the positives, so I give it a 4 out of 10.    … Expand

Бездумное копирование и по большей части того, что копировать ни в коем случае не следовало.

    Дебильная система соревновательных матчей с наказанием проигравшего. Никакая экономия вас не спасёт, слились один раз, до смены команд будете бегать с пукалкой вместо оружия. Пока вы экономите, противник копит средства на компенсацию случайного поражения.

    Никакого баланса самого оружия, оператор настолько имба, что его проще удалить чем отбалансить, да и оружие убивающие с одного выстрела в тушку, таким играм не нужно ни в каком виде.

    Стрельба, в сравнении с CS, невнятная. То ты начинаешь промахиваться от малейшего неосторожного движения, то ты набегу спокойно отвешиваешь хедшоты не важно из чего. Всё оружие стреляет гвоздями, попадание прибивает противника к полу, не давая двинуться с места. При этом, прибитый, теряет возможность ответного огня из-за дёргающегося прицела при получении урона.

    Регистрация попаданий просто никакая. Мало того, что, чётко видя несколько попаданий, игра в итоге может не засчитать ни одного, так ещё и наблюдая за другим игроком можно заметить тоже самое, точные попадания и нулевую регистрацию. Это вообще как? Сервер показывает попадание, но урона всё равно нет? Терминаторы в каждой второй катке.

    Больная на голову система рангов и баланс подбора. Разброс рангов в одном матче спокойно может достигать 6 - 7 пунктов. В каждой катке есть явные лидеры и явные аутсайдеры, с огромным отрывом. Баланс между командами так же сломан. Матчи в 90% случаев заканчиваются абсолютным доминированием одной команды над другой. Полное отсутствие даже намёка на баланс.

    Баланс персонажей такой же сломанный, часть умений от класса к классу дублируется. Часть бесполезна. Некоторые работают неправильно. Сколько нужно времени чтобы понять, что завеса (стенка) Вайпер, не должна бить через всю карту и уже пофиксить это? А с Рейз и её имбовыми гранатами что-то делать будут?

    Вся эта игра, лишь жалкая попытка выехать на фанатах CS, разбавив привычную им контру новыми фишками.    … Expand

    I enjoy this game immensely, but feel awful supporting it.

    It's fun, free-to-play, scratches that Counter-Strike itch, but has the most overpriced business model I've seen, despite being cosmetics only. I'm someone who doesn't mind financially supporting the games I play; in fact I love to. In other games I've spent more than a few "bundles" worth over the course of me playing them.

    I'm someone who doesn't mind financially supporting the games I play; in fact I love to. In other games I've spent more than a few "bundles" worth over the course of me playing them. However, this game is straight up greedy.

    They expect players to pay upwards of $50, $70, or $95 to buy a handful of skins. On top of that, many of these skins cost another $100 or so just to upgrade the freaking thing, which is something you'd expect included for half the original purchase price. There's a reasonably priced battlepass for $10, but be warned, it's deceptively grindy. This isn't like the battlepass in Fortnite, CoD, or any other game you've played. Each level requires ever increasing amounts of XP, with the last five out of fifty levels requiring nearly 20% of the total amount. On top of this, the battlepass has many levels simply rewarding you with "Radianite", which is the secondary currency you can only use to "evolve" certain skins that you have to pay ridiculous amounts of money for in the first place.

    Even if you decide to ignore the cosmetic purchases, you'll still have to deal with picking up some kid's ugly dragon skin because they used their parents' credit card.

    There's honestly no harm to giving the game a shot, but please don't support this garbage.    … Expand

    This Vanguard anti-cheat trash was supposed to be revolutionary, but it doesn't work at all. All you can read about him are Riot's lies. Be sure you will find a cheater in every (even unranked) match.
    They don't even try to hide, they just run around knowing everything and dealing insta headshots within 360 degrees. Sometimes you shoot one in the back and immediately die because his aimbot kills you before you can fire more than once.
    In every match you will find at least one cheater who will write to you:

    - EZ
    - Git Gud
    - Go Play Fortnite
    - Hahahaha
    - Noob
    - I'm not hacking!

    Many of them are handicapped children who stream it on YouTube, although no one watches them.
    Sometimes they don't know how to play the game at all. They don't even know how to plant a (Spike) bomb, and they can lose by dragging players and trying to kill them instead of completing map objectives.

    Don't play it because you will only lose time and nerves. Without cheats, you have no chance of having fun because you will be killed by stupid unskilled cheating morons.

    Random bullet deviation should never be a part of a first person shooter that relies on accuracy of your shots, EVER. Same issue in BF1, your aim can be on point, but if RNG magically decides your bullets aren't going to hit, you're not going to hit. Imo, don't even bother with the game.

    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.
