    The community of this game is very toxic. It has a lot of kids on it so not really surprising.

    The starting music on some maps is pretty cool but the gameplay itself feels just clunky. Like there is a certain actual level of aim required but also not really since the hitboxes feel very off. Frames and the smothness of the gameplay are fine, same for the artstyle itself. Models are easily distinguished from one another.

    I can't say the same about the abilities. Some are over the top strong while others feel completely luckluster. Take Jet vs. Killjoy vs. Reyna. Reyna has the actual ability to solo carry games, same for Jet. Killjoy though? Forget it.

    Now... With all of that said... The anti-cheat kills and freezes my pc. It also causes my pc to take forever to start. These problems are in the game since launch and Riot never bothered to fix any of it.    … Expand

    This game is for people with low pc. There are no physics no hitting feeling no good characters and community. Even overwatch 2 better than this

    it is very interesting to play, similar to cs, but technically the game is poorly made, the fps is good, but when you turn on 1000Hz on the mouse, the game starts to lag, when you exit the game, the computer may freeze, if you fix this, it will be a good game

    The game is very similar to CS-GO. However, the community on this game is very poor.

It is awful that by default, the other players on the team supported this young kid screaming into his microphone. It was also sad that the aim down sights, which was very unique compared to CS-GO's non-aim downed sight system, was very slightly off. The spray patterns, unlike CSGO, can not be 100% fully controlled and can slightly deviate.… Expand

    This game is amazingly well made,the devs are actually trying to fix genuine problems and the gunplay pretty. The skill ceiling is absurdly high which isnt always a bad thing.The agents feel diffrent and all have a very unique personality which really attaches you, despite this being a high skill ceiling game, it's by far the most digestable tac shooter

    Game with good potential ruined by utterly horrible matchmaking.

Then, after my performance clearly stating this was high above my skill level, I got in another match just like that. And another    Game with good potential ruined by utterly horrible matchmaking.

Over the past 3 days I played around 15 (unrated) matches and I've never been higher in the table than 4th. Every single game was basically a 2v2 of the top two players from each team while the rest of the lobby just got killed over and over by them.

    Valorant is a nice shooter game, pretty responsive, somewhat well balanced and with good servers. That said, don't waste your time and, specially, don't waste your money. The game is plagued with toxic players and technical issues that boot you back to your desktop, which then result as penalties for "abandoning the match".

You queue up against players that are ranked Platinum, Diamond or higher almost every game and get absolutely annihilated.

The sprays are inconsistent, the economy system sucks. A lot. The way that matchmaking happens sucks even more, but the agents are fleshed out and each character has something unique to offer. This is not a blend of CS and OW. In OW, you get flamed for picking a certain hero because they're objectively not very good. There are no bad agents in Valorant, because in the end, all that matters is that you hit your shots. The gunplay is unique to Valorant and unlike CS in the way that it is easier to pick up, but harder to master. Counterstrafing is easier, spraying is much, much harder. Footsteps are louder, people can specialize in a certain type of utility, you don't have to learn lineups on every single map in the whole game just to be competitive. Also, CS is managed by valve, where a single patch in a year is celebrated, and OW is managed by nobody because they dropped the game to make OW2. We may hate riot and their idiot game design choices, but they do care about the game that they are developing, and they aren't making people pay obscene amounts of money to do it. This means that patches are constant, and mistakes that are made can be and usually are fixed. All in all, good game, plenty of stuff to like about it, give it a shot before you write it off after seeing the reviews… 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.

    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.
