    Seems like a rip-off counter-strike of poor quality. I honestly don't see it hitting big as it doesn't seem to have anything unique to stand out.

    Абсолютно ничем не отличается от КСГО. Возможно даже хуже. Тикрейт здесь -128, урон вплотную не регает, либо регает восемьсот попаданий, когда ты выстрелил один раз.

    Они просто взяли и нагло скопировали оружие у своего конкурента, сделав его хуже и просто сменив названия. Я, конечно, понимаю, что в нынешнее время сложно придумать что-то уникальное, но кмон, брать и копировать оружие, коего в мире просто навалом, у своего главного конкурента это просто...
    Графику могли завести и получше. Если хотите, чтобы игроки могли играть и у них все тянуло, даже если они играют на тостерах, то для этого есть опция "низкое качество", коим могло быть нынешнее.    … Expand

    Valorant is a mixed bag for me. It’s very fun to play with friends don’t get me wrong, but something about it feels empty. The agents, weapons, and the anti-cheat are all great in my opinion.

The sheer amount of ways you can figure out to win the round is really interesting and adds a new spin to the tactical FPS shooter genre, which was a much needed coat of paint. But the maps are VERY plain and stale. They get old so fast, especially with games that could last up to 21 rounds, and they feel lifeless. You need color, atmosphere, and design to make a great map, but Valorant doesn’t check off any of those boxes. It’s actually kind of pathetic for a developer like Riot to create something so mediocre. Speaking of Riot, why do they have to make their own separate program to play the game on. It’s 2020, either put the damn game on Steam or Epic Games. Also I know this is over now but it was really dumb. The beta. Oh my god I have never seen such an awful way to do a beta. You had to watch twitch streams for ever to get a key. I think it was kind of dumb on a business standpoint because you are deterring people from playing your game. All in all it’s a fun game, but a bland one at that.… Expand

    It’s honestly just really really boring there’s not much really special about it. People say it’s like overwatch and cs, I would also add rainbow six into the mix because it’s more tactical and it would work if it was more balanced and overall just more interesting it’s quite boring and there’s not much really special about it.

    The customization is nothing hut a cash grab. 20 to 50 and even 95 dollar skins ? I will never give a game a positive score when ur charging that much for skins. Not maps and different game variations but just Skins

    The gameplay is okay at best.
    The map selection is poor (it's just released, I know) and some maps are just completely one sided.
    Major downside, kernel level anti cheat system, I hope this catches and people see it as a bad thing at last.

    Ладно там украсть стрельбу из CS и дизайн из Overwatch. Но украсть античит из CS, от которого точно так же, как и от VAC, нет абсолютно никакого толку - это сильно. Наверное, очень приятно играть, когда в 3-х играх из 4-х мне попадались очень подозрительные типы, которые всегда знают откуда я выйду, стреляют точно в точку и набивают по 20+ фрагов, когда у остальной их команды меньше 10.Ладно там украсть стрельбу из CS и дизайн из Overwatch.

    I really really wanted to LOVE valorant, for i am looking for a game that is like CSGO, but isn't CSGO.

    Well... sadly, Riots game is not that. I have been reinforced in my believes, that abilities have no place in shooters, not to mention in defusal game modes, especially when said abilities replace utility, leaving some characters without the tools to deal with a specific situation,    I really really wanted to LOVE valorant, for i am looking for a game that is like CSGO, but isn't CSGO.

    Well... sadly, Riots game is not that. I have been reinforced in my believes, that abilities have no place in shooters, not to mention in defusal game modes, especially when said abilities replace utility, leaving some characters without the tools to deal with a specific situation, while others have such a strong toolkit, that its outright unfair, which defeats the competitive point, imo.
    You have a guy like Cipher, who can lock down a site on his own from safe distance or brimstone & Reyna, who jsut throw their flashes THROUGH walls, but then there is Jett, who can put down three 7seconds smokes, dash once and maybe use the one and the other funny angle.
    "Smokes i hear you say, so she isn't useless?" Well, if its smokes you want, just grab a brimstone. Unlike Jett, he doesnt need to position his smokes in actual gameplay, he does it via a hud, that allows him to cover even the far side of a site from safe distance, they fall through roofs and a placecd by the click of a button. They also last way longer than jetts.
    A lot more useful.
    Before moving on to a different topic, i just want to give a special mention to Raze... the character, that has a freaking Noobtube as an ultimate and grenades, that just outright kill you, if you try to facetank them. Why is this bad? Because it removes a very interesting decision from the game: Do i want to facetank this nade and not flinch, so they think this corner is clear, or do i run and not take damage, but give up my position? There is just no choice here.

    Anyway, moving on. The fact that both teams have access to all weapons in the buy menu is also boring, imo. In cs you have this nice tradeoff: CT have overall more precise weapons, T have very good first shot accuracy and high dmg weapons. Spraypatterns in valorant? Forget it. There is a pattern for the first couple of shots and then they become random, so transitioning your spray to a new target is a gamble. The hitboxes seem off.

    The worst part of the game however are the maps. They are so clean and tidy and Riot seem to have put so insanely much thought into pre-defining the angles players are supposed to hold, that there is just no room for discovering new stuff. You can barely switch anything up on a site, hold it from a different position or whatever, which not only is because of the mapdesign, but also because of the abilities.
    I think they first created a very, VERY raw layout of the map, and when they noticed "hey, this is an angle we dont want", instead of redesigning the entire place, they just simply slapped a wall there.
    The result is, that the maps are not only tidy and blant looking, but at the same time feel super confined. The fact that we have spawn walls and the first engagements can happen after like 2 seconds into a round, doesnt help either.
    When they designed their maps, they put a huge focuse on competitiveness, but they forgot a very important part: The fun.

    Overall the game was fun for the first couple of hours, but it quickly ran out. At this point i have absolutly no drive of going back to it, i just have no fun playing any of the maps,

    Honorable mention to their ingame shop:
    Random items in there every day to promote your FOMO, a bundle that changes every ..i think two weeks? 12 days? something like that, that costs a whooping 70$, at least this one rn. For 5 skins, which come with more stuff on them, if you spend Battlepass-earned points on them, so you better also buy a **** battlepass, because every game nowadays needs a **** battlepass.
    Just as a comparrisson: For 70$ i could buy myself my StatTrak Griffin M4A4 seven times and have some change left, and this griffin does at the same time look better than any of the skins avaiable in Valorant as of right now.
    I could also buy an Aug Arctic Wolf 70 times...    … Expand

    Decent shooter but there are lots of those. This doesnt really add to much and is just somewhere between csgo and overwatch. Its really cartoony thats a pro or con depending on taste but I tend to like a splash more realism like in Counter Strike or Call of duty. The guns are so generic its painful. Its a very chaotic game that let average players have moments of glory but can feel very rng. I think most high skill players will feel more satisfied playing other fps.

    My true complaints are, bad customer service I felt ripped of during beta for some thing I bought and couldnt refund even tho I barely used them. Customer service treated me like garbage even tho my issues were their fault. (I had problems with the anticheat messing up my computer.)

    Invasive anti cheat program really needs to be shut down too. Its a bad precedent having games have that much root level control over your PC. Also the devs have been caught siding with their anti cheat over a large group of casual players. Not worrying about alienating loads of players to stop a few cheaters reminds me of kneejerk over reach. Like not being able to take shampoo on the plane because of liquid laws

    End of the day Riot fanyboys and streamers are going to keep this game in the spotlight for a bit but I dont think its going to turn into the next big esport fps like I was hoping it would. its to average and riots devs have to much tunnel vision on this one. The anti-cheat alone has already divided the player base and the game just came out.    … Expand

    Anti cheat is capable of making your computer have several problems. And when you enter the game, you notice a lot of hackers. It's ridiculous! They created a mix of CS and Overwatch, with CS not having the boredom Valorant has.

    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.
