    Школьники из пикабу специально сливают рейтинг этой игры, хотя разработчики за 2 месяца бетатеста сделали больше, чем Valve за последние года.

    People hate on this game too much. They grind overwatch and CSGO but some people don’t. For players who got in late to those games they can get in at ground level in valorant and really become a quality player

    Despite what a lot of people say in here, the game's in a pretty solid state for launch, as it is exactly what it aims to be: a solid tactical shooter with abilities to enlarge lethal gunplay.

    The character design is pretty good, the abilities feel mostly balanced (and when they don't, then developer quickly comes in and tries to balance them), and the gunplay is very, very solid.

    Kids these days won't understand that this game is all about coordination and communication with their peers, it's not a Battle Royale in which you mostly rely on your solo player instincts and good RNG drops. This game requires a lot more than that.

    I'd like to see a little more depth in future maps (like CS:GO's), and some more accurate recoil. But apart from that, this game's going to be a hit.    … Expand

    More toxic than CS. Plays like a worse version with shoehorned in Overwatch skills. Much better ways to spend your time.

    El juego es un clon de otro juego bastante famoso. Pero lejos de mejorarlo con la adición de habilidades lo empobrece. Si a eso le añades unos gráficos de baja calidad y una comunidad muy experimentada por saber jugar a ese famoso juego, tienes el coctel perfecto para que un jugador nuevo no disfrute en absoluto del título.

    Well, not an amazing game, but surely rigid in it's concept. You get to pick a character that has an ability used only once. You get to buy weapons per game, and if you are going well, you will be able to buy more abilities. Whatever you do, there is no ability better than a good and clear line of sight, Also, map allows a 'guess game' on the whereabouts of the enemy and sound tips/stealthWell, not an amazing game, but surely rigid in it's concept.

Whatever you do, there is no ability better than a good and clear line of sight, Also, map allows a 'guess game' on the whereabouts of the enemy and sound tips/stealth mechanism is there so if you don't rush, tactical play is actually a possibility.

    Now, as a matter of taste i)graphics are more cartoonish than photorealistic ii) There is no rush/run/sprint/slide etc only standard movement and slow/silent movement. This makes run and shoot almost impossible and this characteristic is amplified by no respawn. You died. nice. better next time. learn not to COD. iii) also no more brainless jumping around like a gnat. It doesnt mean that valorant is a sim, but you get the idea.

    All and all, not a solid 10, but an 7-8 just because it is fun but not addictive. and it is in between in many respects. It does not excel in any field but not a crap either. Be careful, mediocre score of this game is because haters that expected something else gave it a zero. Give it a try. It's really free, and let yourself know better by your own judgement...    … Expand

    I agree with a few negative opinions, like... this game do feel like unfinished. I find it great that it tries to compete directly with CS:GO, but that game have a lot of different modes and tons of maps.

It's also weird to see that all weapons have the same design, it's like they think this would force us to buy skins, so uncalled for, I already intended of buying skins just to pay somehow for this great game.
    And there's the anti-cheat system. I feel incredibly worried, but the game is really good, so I hope Riot do whatever they need to stop this system from harm ours.
    Overall the game is really fun, I'm having the best time. Most of the complaints are from high end PC owners who think all games should look like Battlefield 1, but for me, the game needs to be fun. I have other games to benchmark my PC specs, don't need a free-to-play doing this as well.    … Expand

    Its like CS:GO, but with a higher focus on competitive gameplay and balance.
    Its like Overwatch, but with more updates and memorable characters.
    Riot Games out-does Blizzard and Valve after just 1 year of VALORANT being available publicly.
    Best shooter that exists to date. Easy to learn and dangerously addictive.

    The game is pretty OK. Really love the art style and the heroes' personalities. However, Vanguard is a HUGE pain in the ass. I've restarted my PC these past weeks (due to issues with Vanguard) more times than I've restarted it last year :/

    Classic 5v5 competitive shooter. Feels kinda casual and like a mix of counter strike and overwatch. It's good for what it wants to be but not groundbreaking. Some bugs and the weird hitboxes can be frustrating. The maps feel balanced although there are other games which do alot better.

    In my opinion the game is great. It's fun to play (especially with friends) but still competitive.
    I know there are things to be done but they'll fix it / balance it over time.

    Ive played a decent amount of csgo but was never a fan of the graphics or Valves lack of involvement. This game takes the CSGO gunplay and breathes new life into it. The animations are satisfying, graphics and design beautiful. It is recently out of BETA as of early Juneish and I will say there are still some bugs here and there albeit minor for the most part.

    For a f2p game its amazing. So far haven't experienced any cheating as far as I can tell but RIOT says they have people manually monitoring suspected cheaters on top of the automatic anticheat which they are constantly improving.

    The most promising aspect of this game for me so far is the teams commitment to squashing cheaters and balancing the game to maximize both fun and competitive integrity. if you haven't yet definitely give it a try.    … Expand

    Great game, definitely a big CS:GO rival. The only issues are : weird matchmaking, a lot of AFK's and no option for bot player like in CS and no rankeds so far and a lot of trolls due to that. Otherwise game is great, did everything CS:GO should have done few years ago and I hope they will keep working on the game to beat CS:GO in the final :)

    Remember CS 1.6 and Warcraft 3 mod ? That's barely what this game is about. Except you have powers from the begining. The War3 mod was interesting because everyone knew the map & weapons, so it ADD something to an EXISTING thing. VALORANT is quite a mess at the begining, but then it's ok. But I doubt with 4 maps and no community map that this game will go far with CS players playingRemember CS 1.6 and Warcraft 3 mod ? That's barely what this game is about.

    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.
