    If cs:go is a good game, why the "clone" of it is a bad game? You don't know right. You can easily stop anti-cheat by clicking on the tray icon. You say there is some spyware in it, so why don't you tell riot about it, and receive ~100k$? Yes they pay for it, go find a bug or a rootkit, as you say you know it is there, and get a good amount of dollars. Animations?

    I am playing this game since beta release. Devs are in constant contact with players. Guns and maps are balanced. Some champions needs adjustments

    In my opinion it's way more fun to play than csgo. I love the characters' unique abilities and voiceovers. I hope the content keeps rolling out with more and more maps and characters. I hope the game stays alive for a long time.

    Combines everything I love from CS and Character based gameplay. Loved that they modeled the movement after 1.6, which is still the beat iteration of CS

The gun play is very fun coming from a CS background. People are giving it a negative score for being too similar to CSGO which for me is what makes me enjoy it. It is a cross between a CSGO and Overwatch and I love that. It does have some issues to be sure however. A lot of features that should have been in the game at launch are not such are ranked and the ability to surrender etc. Also I feel like the skins they sell in the shop are severely overpriced. I understand they are simply cosmetic however I feel that if they lowered the prices just a bit more people would buy them thus increases their total revenue. If you like CSGO gun play and 5v5 tactical shooters this is a very fun game, not to mention it is free to play. Not sure why there are all these 0 out of 10 reviews. I feel they are being very disingenuous are best. I can only assume people leaving 0 out of 10 are trolls, CSGO fan boys or some deviation.… Expand

    First of all, tutorial doesn't really teach you anything that's important for the game, such as different abilities uses.

    Gameplay - is slow, boring for me to play and to watch. Map design - poor map design, not much work went into making the different maps, basic maps with no importance of map control, everymap feels like the only thing there is to it is the different bombsites.

    Guns feel cheap and are overall weird, they don't look like they should feel, the sprays are very weird and are not always the same.

    I was (to some degree) hyped about this game only to realize that the gameplay is so clunky and rigid. Quite frankly, I am at a loss for words for the gunplay and the movement.

    I enjoyed the game! One of the frustrating parts of the game currently is matchmaking, with a clear lack of players that can play together as a team, but that's in part to the game just having been released and new players not understanding maps, characters, gun mechanics, etc. This will get better with time.

    This game is still essentially an alpha. For the record, I played the closed beta for about a month, had high hopes for the game, and really want to like it.

    The gun changes from CS:GO don't make the game better or more enjoyable. There was no reason to mess with those, and instead of going to the EZ route, they the random recoil after initial burst is just a dumb idea. While the    This game is still essentially an alpha.

    While the new agent artwork is cooler, it still pales in comparison to Overwatch. I frequently forget the agent's names, even though there aren't that many. These characters have the personality of a wet piece of cardboard that's stuck to the wall.

    The abilities are goofy. Some get it right, and others are useless. I don't even know what to say, other than Riot should have released this beta at the end of the summer after a ton more balancing and internal playtesting.

    What's the absolute WORST thing about this game? The server infrastructure is garbage. This seems limited to Valorant (not League), and it's not a good first impression. If I have 20ms, I get a ton of kills. If it's 70ms or more, I get peeked and I'm dead before I can fire back. I've never played a game with this amount of peeker's advantage, and it's just not fun. I get it, it's a free game, and this is probably a partially-funded experiment for them, but they're not growing to grow the base with these issues. I'm glad they're waiting to re-release competitive mode, and perhaps they know of the RTT ping issues to certain parts of the country. Again, I think this is limited to whatever they chose for Valorant, because my friends and I just don't have high ping in other games.    … Expand

    Dont be fooled by the amount of zeroes on this page. Some are salty that people have an alternative to CS:GO. Others are salty that they got banned by the anti-cheat. This game launched yesterday and will continue to get major updates as time goes on as Riot has been shown to support their games

    This game is awful. Just ctrl + c/ctrl + v from CS:GO, Overwatch and TF2. It brings nothing to shooter games sphere and not deserve all this attention at all. No more than a bad copy of truly good games.

    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.
