    I've been playing CS for as long as I can remember, back in 1.6 days. Valorant feels like a worst version of 1.6 and 1.6 came out 17 years ago, they graphics have improved but the way the guns feel are awful. One major flaw with the game is the replayability.

Valorant feels like a worst version of 1.6 and 1.6 came out 17 years ago, they graphics have improved but the way the guns feel are awful. One major flaw with the game is the replayability. There's no map selector, so you get the same map over and over and over again which leads to boring and mindless grinding when it should be fun. The rounds feel like the same over and over, counter strating doesn't seem as viable because its just run and gun. I have a feeling they don't care about the esports/pro/high level scene so its going to be left in the dust of a unbalanced game, balanced for low tier players, example being Apex Legends. I love the game Valorant, it has a fresh idea and fresh feel but it needs some fixing and some features added. I've played Mirage thousands of times aswell as Dust 2 on CS, though I get tired of them sometimes, they bring fresh rounds and seamless gameplay at the highest level.

    I would really like a map selector, it shouldn't effect queues. Already have to wait 40 minutes for a game in unrated.    … Expand

    Game is infested with cheaters. No matter how you play, there will always be a cheater that can destroy you without using any SKILLS. Also the server sucks for most South East Asian players, since it prioritize Japan server and Chinese server instead of giving us an option to select for a certain server.

    so my main problem with valorant is since the update before launch. turkish servers, people in turkish servers dont speak anything else except turk 9 out of 10 times. it was much better when I played on other servers. people knew how to speak english they were doing teamwork etc, and the can be simple fix server selector whether you want to play on american turk.... most games have thatso my main problem with valorant is since the update before launch. turkish servers, people in turkish servers dont speak anything else except turk 9 out of 10 times. it was much better when I played on other servers. people knew how to speak english they were doing teamwork etc, and the can be simple fix server selector whether you want to play on american turk.... most games have that even mobile ones. and there is anther bug it shows that I have 40 ping on my pc but in my friends pcs it shows that I have 200 ping (which is the correct one) and my shots dont register, I have noticed that so its not much of a problem for me but I imagine that it can dismotivate lot of people, lack of content at launch just: just 4 maps and 11 agents but that isnt much of a problem becouse devs are updating the game regularly. it has much lower skill cap than csgo, you have to learn recoil for 7 bullets and rest is random but you can learn to control even that which is nearly same for rest of the guns, easy to use abilitys, good for new players but it puts skillcap as well unlike smokes in csgo I get it that valorant is getting to be something diffrent but if you when you master shooting you have to use brain unlike other games combined. and there are the things that valorant does right most important of all anticheat is very good unlike csgo and stuff that I heard from overwatch tf2. graphics are good and is regularly updated and isnt pay to win or encourage gambling or microtransactions lootboxes... nice game overall riot but add server selector or I will probably stop playing valorant, lot of my friends have left because of that and I imagine its not just my friends and keep adding content (mostly maps), and I hope that this game becomes something better example of a good game unlike csgo without any significant update and gambling.… Expand

    the game is raw playing it is very felt, when the developers all the time talked about their consultation with eSports, it immediately became clear that the project will fail and play it will only be those who have weak PCs or children who have not seen anything better

    A cheap knockoff of CS:S with minimum effort design choices, uninteresting characters, boring muted color palette, and a glaring lack of creativity when it comes to weapon design. This uninspired Chinese-targeted Esports bait of a game will not be remembered, instead, blissfully forgotten by the community in the coming years.

    A decent game to start with, and if they refine what they have, there can be potential to make a community of its own. However it has an identity crisis.

    For example. They go for a cartoony art style but to make the game fair they made every colour flat. So then what's the point? Either commit to a cartoon style like TF2 or make a flat realistic style like CSGO. You can't have both.

The same goes for map design, guns, character abilities as well as the economics of round to round.

    By trying to appeal to everyone, they appeal to no-one. And by tying to hijack other community playerbases instead of trying to make one of its own that will stick around, I don't see this lasting.    … Expand

    When I played this game, I felt like I was playing in cheep browser version of CS:GO without original ideas. And special thanks for Riot, they have so much money that they can create the best game in the world, but they won't do it because of greed and their uncontrollable thirst for 'easy' money.

    Very Meh at best.
    Maps are not very well designed. Everything looks dead and empty (no animation, no moving foliage, no water, no ambiance sound.).

Powers are quite boring (yes, we understood that the dev didn't have a lot of ideas excepting bubbles of smoke that doesn't even behave    Very Meh at best.

    But the biggest issue with that game is that it is very slow, punishing quick play, and you really feel as a wood post that walks and aim.
    Also the aiming is very badly implemented: to have a proper precision you have no choice but to lower the sensitivity of your mouse big time (so it's only made for a certain fringe of players).
    Went out of beta way too early.

    The game is a bastardized version of CSGO. Instead of smokes, you get to buy abilities for your character. Riot is notorious for having terrible balancing and this is also the case in Valorant.

    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

    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.
