    I dont like Counter Strike, but this is a bad copy of Counter Strike, with a little of overwatch to say it's not a copy. Riot Games is doing the only thing they know: a bad copy of existing games

Incredible ideas executed in one of the most disappointing ways of modern FPS games. I have 1k hours in CSGO but the promise of no cheaters would never be enough to pull me into such a lifeless world. I was not expecting to be let down by riot but this is exactly what happened. The best way to fix these issues would be to add more meaningful color into the maps and to scale back these problem abilities to the original idea, which was to give each character a different flavor, not a completely different way of playing.

As for graphics, I'm fine with cartoonish style (like OW), but Valorant doesn't get it right. The game world is just dead cuz developers pay no attention to detail whatsoever.

    Overall, the game is playable, I guess that's the best way to put it.

    The game is full of smurfs. It is unplayable and you are literally f*cked from match 1. The worst matchmaking I have ever seen and the game is balanced as sh*t. Not recommended. Pure cancer game. You might enjoy 5-10 matches but then the game gets frustrating, annoying and pathetic.

    How to explain it in a nutshell. Besides that the details of the game leave to be desired. It adds a toxic community +a great chance to find people who use cheats. Riot tried to expand into another market, but he has a lot of work to do before he makes Valuable a pleasant game to play.

Do you really think $100 + dollars for skin bundles is fair? Honestly, why would they release the game now and not later? To take advantage of players staying at home due to covid. Simplicity works in a MOBA. Riot took very simple idea (csgo) and made it too complex. Bra, there are like how many agents with 4 abilities, do the math. Expand

    After playing for about a year and a half, I can confirm that this game brings nothing new to the table. It's literally boring af to push ranks and stuff "every single season". If the game had different game modes it would be fun but playing competitive over and over the same. "Who gets the 13 rounds first", the same meta which lasts atleast for 6 months is really tiring and boring.After playing for about a year and a half, I can confirm that this game brings nothing new to the table.

    Edit: (23 of June 2022) They removed split map instead of most hated maps by community namely
    Breeze/Fracture/Bind. Lowered score further to 4

    The good part about the game is it has prettty good mechanics compared to most games, and is easy to play in short period of times like evening after work with friends.

    Conclusion:
    A above average game with good mechanics but repititive content after a certain rank/level. Yet good to kill time with friends

    Valorant is like any other lackluster meta-locked game, this time with unconventional recoil patterns and resets, combine that with clunky and slow movement. Rounds take way too long considering you start a room away from one another. You see the same characters in every game, so you're being locked into a meta.

    This is basically if an eight year old were in charge of recreating CS

    This is basically if an eight year old were in charge of recreating CS Pro Mod, or even if someone took a mobile version of R6:S and ported it to pc.

    Can we also take a second to step back and look at the fact that Riot, owned by Tencent games, a Chinese conglomerate corporation, known for working in secrecy with the Chinese Communist Govt and having data breaches in the past is installing a rootkit on your pc? How is this okay with anyone?

    Final thoughts! This game sucks, don't waste your time or the drive space because it will be unheard of in a year when the next free turd comes along and flushes this one.

    Critic score is only high because it is a free game, I would be mad if I bought this.

I will analyze the game as in competition mode. Before even launch the developers said that they want to eliminate "Peeker's Advantage" and I don't think it's possible. They tried few things but all of them just ruined the game. They decreased character movement speed. They ruined run to stop recoil. Some times my shots aren't registering due to these "fixes" but what fixed? NOTHING. They just ruined the game. There is even no spraying in the game. You started shooting in the head or you are dead in this game. I will just list the rest of it or this review will be boring.
    * There are too much corners in maps which makes harder to 1v5
    * Operator(Awp) is too strong in the game. It's so hard to counter them with agents don't have smoke or flash.
    * Optimization is so bad. I usually get 200+ frames while nothings going on. Then 5 attackers pop to site with bunch of skills then it's around 80 frames.
    * Spray transfer is just a luck.
    * We are forced to play this game 16:9. Changing it to 4:3 doesn't stretch characters. Only UI.
    * Queue times are so long. You can't find a game when you are 5 pre and immortal+ rank less then 15 minutes.
    * Sounds are a joke. You hear the enemy in front of you then he just appears from the other directions.
    * Many more...
    In a nut shell, it's a fun game but it can't compete with Cs go. Except they fix those issues

It works by accessing your process list and it sees everything that goes on in your system, but sadly the anti-cheat doesn't work, as there are plenty of cheaters in the game to ruin your experience. If the anti-cheat blatantly doesn't work, then it can mean only one thing: Tencent is collecting and selling your personal information. The game it self is a cheap and poor ripoff from Counter Strike and Overwatch with a very cartoonish design, trying to mash two popular games into one big mess, minus all the good things the original games had, such as; recoil control, fast paced gameplay, competitive element and various dynamics of gameplay. The hitboxes must be the worst in FPS history. There are only two hitboxes, head and everything else. Combine that with terrible weapon balance, no recoil and you get the ability to cheese through enemies with couple of shots. It takes 0 skill to kill in this game. Even pistols feel like sniper rifles at range, just like every other weapon. No penalty for weapons in various ranges. Even COD which is considered to be the king of casual FPS has range penalties, this game apparently does not. The map design is terrible, it's clear the devs stole few map design concepts from CS and somehow made it worse. There is no strategy available in maps, just rush one or the other point, there are no alternatives. Character and skill design is the worst part of this game. They bring no utility to this game. Shooting skills through walls, ice wall and smoke an area every time, consider how both teams can do this. In the end you get a clunky mess on your screen, often wondering what in the world is going on until you get killed through the smoke by pre-fires in 3 shots. Even when you're dominating few games with positive K/D/A it doesn't feel rewarding, there is no incentive to make plays or clutches as you know you'll be killed in 3 shots by someone blindfolded pre-firing a corner. Take CS in comparison, you can do 1v5 clutches based on jukes, aim, enemy aim, smokes, flashes, rotation and still come on top victorious because the map design allows you various approaches to situations. You'll never see that in Valorant, because the game is bad and those playing it should feel bad. In a nutshell, Valorant is a poor attempt to make competitive FPS casual, at which Riot failed miserably. This game will die once the hype around it disappears. Expand

    There is nothing you can do with a greefer. so if a "friend" Raze decide to use every ability against you or someone tipeing your position to the enemy team, you cannot votekick them, you cant TK them, you can literally do nothing but lose.

    The sounds are horrible (compared to CS:GO or R6)

    the player base below diamond is toxic as it can be, and also dumb as a rock. (and you cant stay at high rating cos they reset the rating in a fiew months)

    And out of desperate greed they release a character wich is so op, kids throw money at them to have the advantage befor others can farm it in game

    Killjoys (the new character) trap kills you from full hp in 2 sec, cant jump over it, and can be detonated whenever from wherever, and also have two of it (for perspective other characters simular abilities takes HALF the damage, need to be thrown which makes it avoidable and gives out your position, can be jumped over, and mostly have only one charge /round with the exepcion of viper)

    And that is only one ability of hers ... combined with others it can literally hold a (some) plant site alone while being at another. and is anoying as ****!

    Overall ... if you want a strategic shooter you
    A. play CS:GO if you aint casual and love a fair game
    B. play R6 if you want a character based stratetig shooter
    C. play overwatch if you want a casual, fast phased shooter

    each for their own taste.
    But i dont see a reason why would you want to play this peace of ****

    If you're a huge fan of CSGO and you also enjoy overwatch abilities/art, this MIGHT be your thing. Otherwise, I don't see a reason to play it.

Headshots are a one-shot kill (which is totally fine), but when you ADS while standing still, bloom can still totally make you lose the face-off (unless you have a sniper).

    To me it feels as though a person has to study and practice the game with friends a lot in order to really have fun - which by then you're likely competing for rank anyway.

    If you're a person who likes the ability to react, outplay an opponent, recover from an engagement, and/or create your individual playstyle, this is not for you.

    The graphics are more like "meh" and from the arround 20(including seconds) highly boring designed weapons, everyone just uses two. since the rest are trash.
    Speaking of trash, the weapon handling is just..disturbing.
    The skills are mostly just one blob of color of sightblock.
    Planting the bomb for 13 rounds is just strange and boring.
    This game could be a 8 year old MOD for CS:GO with gambled damage numbers.

    It's just awful.
    The game is slow and boring, not much content, you will spend way more time waiting for the matches and walking around to find someone than actually playing. The game feels completely empty and a waste of time.

    The game has a terrible ranked system just from the ground up You can win ten games not rank up and have one bad game and get de-ranked. It seems like the game is going to get stale after a year. CS:GO fans will have more luck sticking to CS, Valorant is a mess. Not worth giving a chance.

    I have experience of around 2500+ hours on CSGO. But this game needs many improvements. When my character in the game comes near any other player I experience a glitch in the game.

Also, the game is slow, I admire their efforts on the servers and the 128 ticks or so, but the game still has the latency, which is not good. And the Graphics are poor which I expected to be in an 8.5GB game but still its poor than others at the same level. Also, the Maps are not good They have lots of hiding spots which makes it time-consuming than other games since we have to check them up. The other thing is the abilities of the characters are not balanced. In addition to this, there is one more issue since there are no upgrades for guns in terms of damage, range, etc the guns have very poor accuracy which can not be changed. Expand

    Valorant is a quite interesting game. Fun to play with friends. Overall not bad. But their store system is completely trash. You can't buy favorite skin just because their revenue 'GENIUS' decided to rotate their store and you never know when your favorite skin will appear.

    Counter Strike for Mobile Phones. It is a simplistic and more simplified version of CS GO. Game feels clunky and has no speed factor. Shooting in the head is easier.

    The shooting mechanics are difficult to use, especially for players with a TF2 and Overwatch background, which the game seems to target. The shooting mechanic also favors camping (Staying in one spot all game while shooting passing enemies) which is frowned upon in most games. The heavy armor does next to nothing. And there are some buggy aspects to the game..

    3. "tik rate" this is the weakest spot of this "thing" even with "slowllyty" of this "thing" you will not kill the enemy even if he has a reaction of a turtle, if u had more than 40 ping!
    Even if ull be faster, you`ll get shot by the dude that has better ping than your`s (The funniest thing that they "slow down" the game to get better "tik rate" XD)
    4. skills annoying and useless thing, yes I wrote 4 lines higher that some characters are imbalanced and it`s still true, but most of the skills are crap, that can`t damage someone or they got so slow animation that enemy can just walk to u and kill u by the knife with no problems at all XD
    5, shooting, the most "creppy" shooting that I`ve ever seen, even "hackin" warface got better shooting than in this game, and if u think that shooting in CS GO is bad — try this game and u`ll change ur mind XD

    The gun play is awful in this game. Guns are just so frustrating to use, because you could be shooting straight on, but your bullets are going to be be going to Narnia. You just have to spray and pray when an enemy is no more that 10 meters away. Also if you get shot in the big toe then you cant move at all, so you are a sitting duck. Guns are either awful, or mediocre. There are no guns I would define as good. Also lobby's are terrible. Either you get in a lobby with the sweatiest player on the planet, or you get put in a game with bots that barely know how to shoot a gun. Characters are pretty fun, and usually have different playstyles. They also have good lore and dialogue. I just wish that they had a description about who the character is. Map design is pretty bad, with it just being a mess, or just boring and flat.

    It was fun for a while but then everything when downhill very fast, all of my friends started raging and swearing which I didn't know was possible by them, they started arguing on each other even smacking and punching their desks. For you all that said Valorant was fun then you're mistaken.

    This game doesn't even have any original ideas, they straight up copy other ideas from other famous E-sports Titles like CS:GO, Rainbow Six, Overwatch, etc. This game also has wonky mechanics and unsatisfying gameplay. From any other games that I can compare Valorant with are like the mobile rip-offs for CS:GO and i'd still prefer the mobile rip-offs.

    Even the tournaments, Pro players using Odin? a gun that can be easily used by a 8 year old? what are you even trying to accomplish here?

    But the smurfing are the worst I have seen in a very long time. I'm talking Platinum players playing in bronze and silver games by borrowing accounts from other people, High skilled players throwing on purpose just to demote to lower ranks like that just ruins the experience for other people that just wanna play normaly.

    Map- They are just horrible and feel like designed by drawing random squares in MS Paint and randomly the heights of places were adjusted. SERIOUSLY??? 3 BOMB SITES????

    Heroes- The abilities are very situational like you may like a hero from a youtube montage video but get to reenact the thing only rarely.

    Abilities- Some extra advantages would have been fine but the abilities doing real damage??? No, that's messed up. After these abilities, it will be a massacre if it happens to be a part of esports. Even Apex has abilities but they have a limit.

    Overall- They copied the Theory from CSGO and the looks and characters from Overwatch but that didn't turn out very well. Even if this game didn't exist nobody wouldn't even have cared and rather ask for a game like this because this game has nothing new to offer. Games like Fortnite, PUBG, Overwatch, Apex had something new to offer but what's new in this. CSGO is the most Esports-friendly FPS game out there and at least it's predictable and it requires new strats and a high skill ceiling in its pro scene. Whats about this game? What can you predict? Arrows through walls? Some Fortnite skinned character randomly teleporting through the map? A bot placed at choke points of backstabs that does damage and completely eliminates the possibilities of flanks?

    the maps are very badly done, and the very fact that you can't even choose which one to play makes it more frustrating.

    The agents are unbalanced, and you can never play what you prefer or because they ran it right away or because it is not suitable for team play.

    I've been playing CS:GO for many years and I have reached the maximum rank on it, I know when it's hard to get a good shot or a good movement, but on Valorant it seems that everyone is a pro, i played in all ranks, (gold platinum diamond and immortal) and there is no difference in skill between the players, perhaps it seemed even more difficult to play against gold than against immortals.

    in conclusion in my opinion, valorant is just a commercial game with nothing competitive inside, the only thing done right behind this game is marketing.

    In my objective opinion as a CSGO player Valorant is not for me. If you're new to 5v5 area style team fps games, this opinion is not for you. Anyone who plays Valorant as a new player will have a great time with it.

    In my objective opinion as a CSGO player Valorant is not for me. If you're new to 5v5 area style team fps games, this opinion is not for you. Anyone who plays Valorant as a new player will have a great time with it.

    For anyone switching from CS to Valorant know this. Valorant is much more team oriented because of agents and unique utility that each one has. The game of Valorant mechanically is slightly less demanding than that of cs because of the bigger headshot hitboxes. Valorant has great movement mechanics but very spread weapon spray patterns compared to CSGO. Weapons while moving are given less penalty while moving compared to cs. (Running 1taps.) Certain agents have flash mechanics that you can't turn away from. (Omen). Bhopping in Valorant is a gimmic that give absolutely NO advantage. Networking is beneficial for people with higher ping. (Peekers advan.) Audio in Valorant is very poor. There is no white noise and footsteps are too easy to pinpoint, and makes Deathmatch pointless. The map design in Valorant is overly complicated and makes matchmaking a much more stressful experience. There is no penalty for making a new account and smurfing right away.

    TLDR:In my opinon It is a more arcady version of CSGO. It is a very fun but different game, but should not be taken serious as a competitive shooter if the game remains as is. Massive improvements to the game must be made to make it its own great shooter. Valorant has potential to be great unique game, but as is it's nothing more than a new game to play in 2020.

    I'm giving this game a 4/10 because the game has little to offer atm other than 5v5, Casuals and DMs. If Valorant had custom browser for community servers and more to offer than the season pass it would be a much more entertaining game.

    This game is awful...
    Legit copied CSGO and Overwatch, so Riot Game and Tencent can maximize profits via selling overpriced 3d pixel skins and install malware on your pc, so the can datamine your pc.. sorry anti cheat to monitor your system for hacks.
    Most of the people playing this game are washed-up csgo pros trying to pay their bills in hope of this game is a hit and oh yeah...

    Most of the people playing this game are washed-up csgo pros trying to pay their bills in hope of this game is a hit and oh yeah... that one Fortnite streamer Ninja. Other casuals come from who knows what game, but it is defiantly not a FPS game.

    This game probably has the most toxic community + smurf problem I have ever seen.

    Gun play is RNG/no spray transfer and the movement is sooooo slow and boring..

    This game brings nothing new to the FPS genre. I'd suggest playing rainbow six if you want a game that has offers characters with different abilities.

    Legit trash created by Riot games... If this game was created by some no name indie developer, it would not have gained so much hype. Oh yeah.. the only way to play the beta was to watch that one streamer you do not care about in hopes of a beta key... talk about shady marketing.

    I am thinking this game will die out pretty soon.

    If you want to play a game that will give you a headache because the opposite team is full of smurfs and cheaters, this is a game for you. Ranking system, matchmaking, servers, frequent nerfs and buffs slow gameplay, fps drops, high ping, etc. I hate this game.

    Why would you play this game over other shooters? The net code is terrible, bullet registration can be non existent at times, the agents are not that balanced (for example sova is way more fun to play over someone like breach) flashes can be a pain to deal with, bullets go anywhere they want to, its almost like the bullets follow rng, the guns are basically all instant kills.

There are smurfs everywhere. Players are really toxic, the anticheat is shady, their skin prices are questionable (they can cost like as much as new game, sometimes maybe even more than a new game). Now I understand that the devs need to make their money, but come on, for a game that really did not have a marketing budget, (they used the twitch streamer key code strat to get free publicity even before launch of the game) in a pandemic where ppl have lower pay or lost their job entirley, i think its a bit scummy to charge so much for a knife skin that you barely even see while youre playing the game. So, are there any positives? The game runs extremley well even on fairly cheap or old systems, you can have a playable experience on almost any system, but thats not an achievment for an esports game. The game is fun to play with freinds (if you care playing with more than 3 people in a party and in competetive queue, it can take a long time to get into a game), something funny does happen from time to time in the game. But thats about it, solo queue can be increbidly hit or miss, having either really kind teammates, toxic teammates, bad teammates, toxic opponents and so on. Do not be fooled by the 80 critic score, as of writing this review, nearly 60% of the user reviews are negative or good, which means a majority of the people writing a review for this game think that it is not good.
    If you just started playing this game or are thinking of playing it, stop, it is simply not worth it in my opinion, there are plenty of other shooters you can play.

    The game is absolutely horrific. Do Not Play It. Gun play is by far the worst from any fps game to date.

Tilting is apart of this game. Maps were made while devs were drunk because they're all defender sided and design is horse **** First peak advantage means you'll die before you even see the enemy. Ping is at lowest 25 for all players no matter how good your internet is. Skins cost peoples weekly paychecks and take the devs 2 minutes to make. You dont like a specific map? To **** bad, your forced to play 2 of the worst ones 24/7 due to there being no map selection. In conclusion, if you would like to go through the 5 stages of grieving within the span of 5 minutes, play this game. Expand

    In the matches I played, the community was extremely toxic. If you asked for tips, you were insulted. If you died early, you were insulted, if you used the wrong character/guns, you were insulted, etc..

    This game had nothing to offer except for how well it appears to be optimized.

    Feels like Counter Strike but without the steep learning curve. The abilities feel like a novelty more than a feature in this game because it is so slow paced. It feels slow and booring. If you like csgo, you might like this game but if you did not, there is no way you will like it. I get the feeling the game was basically created to sell sklns on day 1 in my opinion.

    Valorant was a very cool looking game in concept when it first showed up and the potential seemed to be limitless with the characters abilities and the meta changes whenever a new character would be introduced plus the promised high skill ceiling and that utilities and abilities would play only an assisting role in getting kills.

    Now, a little more than a year after its release the game
    Valorant was a very cool looking game in concept when it first showed up and the potential seemed to be limitless with the characters abilities and the meta changes whenever a new character would be introduced plus the promised high skill ceiling and that utilities and abilities would play only an assisting role in getting kills.

    Now, a little more than a year after its release the game is still plagued by many issues it hasn't fixed since beta and it's showing no sings of fixing the issues any time soon.

    3 of those major issues are:
    1. Terrible Matchmaking.
    2. Broken Accuracy on all guns.
    3. Characters abilities have way to much impact.

    Terrible matchmaking?
    more often than not, when queuing up into valorant lobbies the game is already decided when you have been placed with significantly worse teammates than the opponents team, sometimes facing people 4 ranks above you meanwhile having teammates 4 ranks under you.

    It quickly becomes obvious that if you don't solo win every round and hard carry your entire team over and over and over you'll have no chance of winning the game whatsoever and if you'd play like you normally would and not like you're held at gunpoint facing certain death if you don't win the game, you'll be very unlikely of winning that game.

    Games are almost always incredibly one-sided and you're either on the team getting destroyed or you're the one destroying the enemy team.

    Broken accuracy on all guns?

    There's a meme in the valorant community called ''precise gunplay'' which is something infamously said in the trailer for the game when they talked about the games features and mechanics.

    The reason this is a meme is because valorant has some of the most terrible and downright devastatingly bad accuracy in any game right now. Normally, spraying in any game means that the accuracy exponentially gets worse and randomized in an increasingly growing pattern away from the crosshair but in valorant the spray only has a pattern for about the first 6 shots until it gets completely randomized and that is when you're standing still, like the game is supposedly intended to be.

    That is far away from the problem, because it's when you start to move around and shoot where the game goes into the deep end.

    The spray pattern on every single gun is 100% random when running and follows no pattern whatsoever which means you could hold your crosshair at someone's head while running and spraying and your bullets would have a chance to hit with perfect accuracy right on the crosshair instead of somewhere around it like it should actually be.

    Having people jump, fall, prefire, running and still getting kills while they are full spraying is something that happens all the time and it's incredibly frustrating to play against and is just painful when you spend many hours trying to become better at the game only to have someone kill you only because they where luckier than you.

    Characters abilities have too much impact?
    When the valorant devs first talked about the game and how each character had and unique role and playstyle, one that would be important to win the game but not the sole reason? There is already quite few characters in the game with abilities that can kill people almost for free with very little counter play other than picking one of few characters with a get-out-of-jail-free ability who could survive such a situation.

    If you're playing a character who has access to long ranged utilities you make it utterly impossible for the enemy team to win the round via defusing the bomb since they'd just die to you while you're 60 meters away behind 3 different walls.

    Valorant Has alot to work on and is far away from a perfect game, if you're going to play it I HIGHGLY recommend playing with 4 other people and only playing with people you know because going head first into this game alone is going to be one of the most frustrating and painful things you'll every do in any game you've played before.

    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.
