    On to the review    Preface: Interesting as to how Metacritic is being trolled, 118 (as of writing) negative reviews and over 8,000 cheaters banned from beta. There was a rumor in beta that all bans were to be wiped and that cheaters were to be given "another chance". However, that was not the case and they have as of yet, not found a way to spoof HWID to be able to make a new account....

    On to the review - As someone that has played CS or "tactical shooters" since 2000, I feel I'm in an adequate position to review VALORANT. The game is a fresh coat of paint if you will on a stagnant genre, with its low barrier to entry and interesting twist on "utility" aka agent abilities, it opens the door for some interesting game play.

    Other games in recent memory have tried to have their take on tactical shooters (R6 being a prime example) however, the barrier to entry I feel was too high and there was too much to learn for a reasonable competitive environment, not making this friendly for the more casual player. VALORANT does this perfectly, as the saying goes "Easy to play, Difficult to master".

    Once ranked is released, this will become even more casual friendly. I played in Beta and unranked was almost exclusively newer players learning the game. Couple that with a successful match making system for ranked, I think that players of all skill levels are able to find fair matches.

    The visuals in VALORANT are exactly what a tactical shooter needs, clean, crisp and easily able to spot players. The games aesthetic succeeds in so many ways, its art style doesn't look out of date but its not so texture heavy that only top of the range hardware is able to run the game.

    The agent selection and balance currently is in a good spot, there are a few abilities that will need a tweak to bring all agents into a similar power level however, that is the art of game balance and an ever changing meta. Riot have proven thus far during the beta that they are up to the challenge but are not willing to make knee-jerk changes right out of the gate.

    Movement in the game feels great, CSGO/CS:Source you feel as if you're on skates. Something about it just doesn't feel right. R6 I can't explain, again, it just doesn't feel right to me. VALORANT seems to nail the feel of movement from CS 1.6.

    Bullet registration feels good, very good in fact. Riot's server locations (for me) have not produced anything higher than a 35ms ping, usually 20-25ms. This alone makes the game feel crisp.

    My one complaint is the skin prices. I feel Riot has dropped the ball here. I understand that many will still buy skins, heck, I probably will, however, I won't be buying as much as I would if the prices were more reasonable. I hope this is addressed further down the line.

    To wrap up, I think VALORANT has the key foundation of being a successful esports title, there are a few missing features that desperately need adding (The observer function isn't that great, Demo recording and a meaningful overtime, sudden death does not cut it). However, Riot has stated they're looking into changing/adding most of these concerns. The games low spec requirements for play are great for an all inclusive community. If/Once Riot address the skin prices and adjust the aforementioned features for esports, perhaps this will earn a 10/10, however, until then, I currently give this game 8/10.    … Expand

    [-] Gameplay is abysmal. It feels like they combined the worst aspects of Counter-Strike and Overwatch.

    People are camping everywhere, the chokepoints are killing your incentive to move around. You just stare into some ugly polygons for 2 minutes until you either get a kill or get killed. The game gives you little incentive to actually move around, and favors those who just hold a chokepoint until the round is over.

    The game is heavily in favor of the defenses side. It is not enjoyable to play from the offensive side because you almost always lose.

    And the classes with their stupid abilities don't help. At times you think you've won the game but then someone activates their ultimate and get a stupid advantage and clutches the round 1v5. Abilities and classes really don't fit in what's supposed to be a competetive game.

    [-] The microtransactions and skins are not very pretty to say at the very least. When you spend $20 in any other 2020 game you expect to get an impressive piece of artwork or a creative dance. In this game they will goldplate your already ugly polygon-gun. No thank you!    … Expand

    I'm quite experienced with FPS games, having played CS:GO, Overwatch, Apex, PUBG, Warzone, and many more games, I can safely say, Valorant has nothing new or exciting to offer.

    (I got a key for the beta)

    Valorant, rips off CS:GO's base mechanics and just copy and paste's a lot from CS:GO and offers little to no new content at all. The game may be fun for some, but I guess it's just not for me.

    My biggest issue with CS:GO and Valorant is the pacing- incredibly slow, tedious, unfun, and there just isn't anything to get so excited around. I really cannot see how people view this as a competitive game, when there are many better games which require so many more fast-paced movements and actions. I don't want to hold shift to walk quietly all the time- i want to 1v6 2 teams, with incredible movement which gets my heart rate going.

    Having loved the abilities and how fun they are in both OW and Apex, the abilities in Valorant are utterly uncreative and lazily thought of, some inspired from OW or even, surprisingly Apex which I don't mind, but again- nothing fresh.

    The movement is also horrible, Source engine had really good movement which is why Bunny hopping was excellent in Cs, and Apex which also uses the same, yet modified engine. RDR2 which has arguably the worst movement in any game to save realism has better movement than Valorant's.

    Don't even get me started on the graphics... the art directions, it's so awful, I've seen better character design in Raid: Shadow Legends and many more mobile games than this. If you even dare to defend it with: "Valorant is a competitive game" then clearly you're blind. It's not that Valorant needs to look overly complicated but PLEASING to look at. WOW! Generic female #151 here with a couple of floating knives.

    Worst of all, is Vanguard is actual trash. Not only does it breach your security, and has full kernel access (which also is owned by tencent- potential security issues) it doesn't even do a good job AT ALL. Literally the massive controversy with Apex cheaters right now is much better than this anarchial game. I got a game with cheaters 3X IN A ROW.

    What I really expected was a fine, and tuned game but this was a great disappointment. What really is the issue here is not that Valorant is bad- but SKY-HIGH WAY too overhyped.

    I will stick to Apex's BRILLIANT movement system, and Warzone's tactical gameplay.    … Expand

    - Some dude with a sniper rifle half way across the map will just one shot you as you walk round a corner even after buying the heavy shield. Whoooo fun!

Inconsistent visual models from the different characters makes it harder to aim at as well. As someone who has played CS and CSGO as well as a bunch of CS clones like AVA and SF extensively, Valorant seems much less intuitive and more unsatisfying to play.

    Same game mode (because who plays cs_ maps, if you know what I mean).
    Same 2-resps-2-plants-few-sidewalks maps.
    Same items. And no, making grenades part of characters' skills doesn't count as 'different weapons'.
    LESS balance because of characters diversity.
    Broken netcode.
    Intrusive anti-cheat which average user will be unable to disable after exiting the game (because it has rootkit-like anti-anti-cheat protection) - and which will keep guzzling computer's resources.

Она сама по себе вполне неплохая, если не докапываться до некоторых мало значительных вещей: графика, сбежавшая из 2007 года, немного неприятный дизайн карт и в особенности способностей персонажей, которые выглядят по большей части либо как лужа, либо как купол разных цветов. Из больших минусов можно назвать, само собой, защиту от читеров, которая не вызывает доверия и нагружает компьютер лишний раз. Однако здесь приятная стрельба, достаточно хороший неткод и удобный интерфейс. И казалось бы, игру можно назвать хорошей, но есть одно большое и приличное "НО": это очередная попытка Риотов создать игру, которую мы уже где-то видели. Я не знаю какие там проблемы с фантазией у работников компании, но создаётся ощущение, что Риотам с их бюджетами либо лень придумывать что-то самим, либо считают, что все итак схавают их продукт, не задумываясь. Боюсь расстроить, но нет. Я отказываюсь поддерживать игру, в которой нет абсолютно ничего своего: персонажи унылые куски картона и внешне, и способностями, которые взяты по большей части из других игр без каких-либо попыток сделать хотя б что-то немного другое даже визуально, дизайн карт также уныл и вообще никак не запоминается, сама концепция игры полностью скопирована без попыток хотя бы сделать ее немного другой, пушки тоже не заслуга создателей и имеют аналоги в CG:GO (вернее первоисточники). Если проще выразиться, то это клон другой игры, которую лишь немного изменили и доработали. И это ужасно. Риоты имеют огромное количество денег и у них приличное количество сотрудников, но создаётся ощущение, что там все напрочь ленивые и являются творческими импотентами, не способными к созданию реально чего-то своего. Зато вот монетизировать свои облики, на которые, видимо, и уходят все силы, они умеют. Поздравляю, Риоты! Поддержка у вас отличная, но вот с воображением ужасно туго. Это не игра. Это продукт, который вообще непонятно за счет чего должен понравится. Геймплей? Взят из другой игры почти полностью, но еще более унылый и решён динамики от слова совсем. Героями? Единственное существенное отличие от CS:GO также было сделано на отвали: герои внешне слишком просты, их внешность лишена интересных деталей, которые бы что-то о нем говорили или дополняли образ, про способности уже поговорили. Новизной? Если клон игры, которая уже давным-давно вышла, можно назвать новинкой, то да. Поддержкой Риотов? Да. Да, да и еще раз да. Это по сути единственный фактор, который манит к себе игроков: перейти из игры, на которую разработчикам уже плевать, в игру, где есть поддержка.

    Developers should learn the meaning of the word balance. There are not many characters in the game right now and it is very easy to balance them. They stole a lot of good points from CS:GO, but, for some reason I did not understand, they did not steal everything else, and the result was not very good.

    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.
