    Prometeram um jogo leve e que rodasse em um pc de 10 anos atras, o jogo não roda nem em um pc de 5 anos atrás, extremamente mal otimizado. Além de todos outros problemas de péssimos mapas, não ter um dm, ter skins extremamente caras para o brasil e classes totalmente desbalanceadas.

    Great competetive shooter. Requires a lot of practice to master but easy enough to get an understaning of at a surface level if you are well versed similar fps games. Shooting is the core skill but the abilities helps you set it up and makes the game more varied and simply just more fun.

    Riot is doing good work about that game. It's another fps with planting bomb, but it's unique. Every character has different abilities and each isn't useless. Everyone will find his main character. I like how this game has been made. Everyone is saying it's like CS:GO but it isn't.

    Firstly, I have over 4000 hours logged into Conuter-Strike: Global Offensive.

    Let me start off by saying, if CS didn't exist, and I could only play this instead, I wouldn't be MASSIVELY disappointed. However, after playing it for about 10-15 hours in the beta, I don't think I will ever touch the game again. There are many reasons for that: 1) CS exists; why play a game which is 80%    Firstly, I have over 4000 hours logged into Conuter-Strike: Global Offensive.

    Let me start off by saying, if CS didn't exist, and I could only play this instead, I wouldn't be MASSIVELY disappointed. However, after playing it for about 10-15 hours in the beta, I don't think I will ever touch the game again. There are many reasons for that:

    1) CS exists; why play a game which is 80% Counter-Strike with 20% **** when I can play 100% Counter-Strike with 0% **** To me, **** means abilities which don't server as utility (i.e. something that enhances GUN-gameplay), but abilities which take you away from gun-gameplay, like Raze's ultimate (the OP bazooka), almost all explosive grenades, Sova's wallhack arrow and ultimate, teleportation (will explain why later), Sage's wall and Sage's and Phoenix's healing (will go into Sage later). Such abilities are abundant and overpowered in Overwatch, and it's why that game is closer to Smite than it is to CS:GO.

    2) Current balance. Let me just say, abilities are not the problem. Here are some abilities whose CONCEPT I like: Viper's Toxic curtain, Omen's cameras, Raze's jump boosts, Sage's slow, and pretty much all abilities mimicking flashes, smokes and molotovs (notice, NOT grenades). All these aim to either facilitate gun-gameplay, or combat it in a NON-'CHEAP' way to the game. A 'cheap' way of combating gun-gameplay, is to completely prevent it from happening; good abilities allow the player to counter the ability and make the situation into a gun-gameplay one: you can push a smoke or molly or you could (or should be able to) dodge a flash to take a gunfight. That is ALL abilities should ever try to be, and never anything more than that. And guess what, nobody can think of enough non-'cheap', yet unique abilities to fill out 11 characters; so there should only be 5-7 characters, and never more than that (more on that below).

    Many of the abilities, although conceptually good, need tweaking; Sage's slow shouldn't make noise when you're in it, ALL flashbangs should give opponents an CLEAR indication at least half a second (if not longer) before going off, and Omen's cameras seem OP, I'd nerf them too somehow (idk how).

    3) 1 month into the game's existence and we have a new character. I haven't played the game recently, so I don't want to comment on the character, but to me, this is an indication of Riot's philosophy. I can forgive classes in an FPS game if there is a constant number of characters in the pool at all times. Here is something a lot of games, in my opinion, get wrong: more things =/= better game. That is not to say things should never get added, but adding things should only be a SIDE-EFFECT of having a good new idea. Valve do this great; in the 8 years CS:GO has existed, there have been a handful of NEW things added, all of which contributed new ideas; an automatic pistol (CZ), a gun with shot delay (Revolver, which didn't work out, but no harm done, it's just a trash weapon on the side), an AoE damage nade (molly) and a handful of maps with innovative ideas (Overpass which has become a core of the competitive map pool in CS and everybody loves it, Canals which is unique in its own right).

    4) Sage is broken to such an extent that tweaking values of abilities won't help. No hero should have a wall AND a slow AND a healing AND then an ultimate which revives a player. Obviously this can change, but the fact that this hero got through and STILL hasn't lost any of her abilities shows that Riot is willing to make 'cheap' abilities very powerful and prevalent in the game.

    5)Teleportation: I hate it with a passion. All it does is take away from the intuitiveness of the game. Say you're in a 2v1 against Omen, and your teammate dies to him, he calls out the position. Now you have to bear in mind that he may have/ may have used his ultimate to teleport, and it's like you don't have any information. It punishes good communication and game sense.

    5) I mentioned that I am not a fan of explosive grenades. That is because AoE damage abilities are just superior. Same as nades, they punish predictable positioning but as opposed to nades, they allow for the enemy to play around the grenade in expecting it/ reacting to its sound and peeking out before it does too much damage or bailing on the position. On the other hand, if not expected, it can cause you to panic and peek out unprepared, resulting in death. Hence it is very high-skilled, and just does everything better than the nade.

    6) Something I'll give a pass to is the maps. Almost all maps in CS today have been refined over a long time.

    Now let's talk about execution:

    7) In the first week or two weeks of the beta, there was a bug due to which I couldn't hear teammates' voice chat. That defo resulted in me playing less.

    8) I had a feeling that the hit-reg was off; but that could just be me.

    9) Vanguard is way more intrusive than I am comfortable with, and yet there are many hackers.    … Expand

    As an inexperienced FPS gamer, I would say that my comments will be a little bit stupid and misunderstanding, but at least this will be fair

    I would say that compare to other games, Valorant is a good game for those who are willing to start playing FPS game. Though the graphics aren't good for this year, even the lowest graphic setting of it wouldn't even make me feel uncomfortable or border like CSGO or Overwatch, which I found boring later than. I would say Valorant is a very good game at attracting new players and keeping them so far. The mechanics of the game by far was very good actually, maybe some will think it slow but to be fair, it will be a lot better than the fast and consecutive gameplay of Overwatch. And about the strategies part, none of them are OP or something which can make the games more creative than other FPS game, and I think that's mainly why Original FPS player will find it a lot confused and boring, cause there are so much more thinks than shooting and moving skill, make the game become harder, but still friendlier to other. The game is easy actually to say, the art line is may look different to other FPS games but if you know riot games, mainly their games aren't good at graphics, but still very attractive. And for those who came here just because they think that Valorant is a CSGO + Overwatch games, then that's why your gaming experienced is that bad, Valorant have itself advantage that if you guys just forget the CSGO or Overwatch and play it, you may addict to it, I promise. And one more thing to say, Valorant by far I think will be the most stable FPS games for this is still just Riot's first step, cause to say Valorant have all of the elements of good FPS games and surely will very hard to be a dead game like PUBG or something. Its game has the purpose for the player to stay with, which was why making Apex Legends had a long time being a dead game, and the champion will make the gameplay more plentiful by the update, which again mainly the problem why PUBG died ( gameplay never changes, which make the player boring)
    But any game has its own problem and so as Valorant. The game seems to have a number of bug and glitch which were kind of unacceptable for a light game like Valorant, The graphics, again to say is just not good for a FPS game, I seriously think that it's not that bad as you guys mention but still Riot should take more time on making the space and shader of the game be more realistic. I have nothing to say about the mechanics cause I think it was just classic but with a little bit slow, but maybe the game should have been a little faster and the time in each ground and matches must be longer, in order to make the game a little bit try-hard for new player but was satisfying for the veteran one
    To make the conclusion for this review, I think that Riot was doing well consider they are just started to changing there self. Valorant is a very potential game if we can be a bit of patience and positive about the game.    … Expand

    [-] Gameplay is abysmal. It feels like they combined the worst aspects of Counter-Strike and Overwatch.

    People are camping everywhere, the chokepoints are killing your incentive to move around. You just stare into some ugly polygons for 2 minutes until you either get a kill or get killed. The game gives you little incentive to actually move around, and favors those who just hold a chokepoint until the round is over.

    The game is heavily in favor of the defenses side. It is not enjoyable to play from the offensive side because you almost always lose.

    And the classes with their stupid abilities don't help. At times you think you've won the game but then someone activates their ultimate and get a stupid advantage and clutches the round 1v5. Abilities and classes really don't fit in what's supposed to be a competetive game.

    [-] The microtransactions and skins are not very pretty to say at the very least. When you spend $20 in any other 2020 game you expect to get an impressive piece of artwork or a creative dance. In this game they will goldplate your already ugly polygon-gun. No thank you!    … Expand

    I've played both Overwatch and CS:GO I enjoyed them both but I always wished for them to be more similar to each other, so Valorant is literally what I wanted. My issues with Overwatch was primarily that it's very Rock Paper Scissors, your skill matters significantly less then a game like CS as apposed to the Character you picked. But your KDA isn't the only display of your team participation unlike CS.

    I despise CS for it's clarity, the game isn't so much a challenge for aiming, it's a challenge to spot a beige colored enemy against a beige colored wall, it's just not happening. Both Overwatch and now Valorant solve this issue, I've been incredibly impressed with how well you can determine characters even at a glance despite having the same hit box and inherently similar silhouettes, unlike Overwatch.

    The game feels balanced, I haven't encountered an ability that I felt unfair although some are better then others people tend to make up for with unique use cases. Maps are pretty bland and feels cluttered with many corners, but I've enjoyed every single one, and they all have a little twist to it that's always enjoyable. Although a see a lot of people hating the visuals I absolutely adore them and the performance is like nothing I've ever seen.

    This is more personal and probably only because I've been lucky but all of my teammates and enemy's, no matter if they perform well or not, have been super nice and supportive of everyone. Having played both League and CS I can say that the toxic players really ruin the experience for me and I just can't get into it. Here I actually feel safe and I know that sounds kinda odd but its true. Even if it's only temporary and my luck suddenly changes, I've never played a game with such lovely and funny people. I hope it remains like that, though I have already seen some horrific behavior from videos and images online.

    Valorant is a perfect mix of Overwatch team play and clarity, with CS:GO's skill based gun play. Exactly what I had wished for years from the competitive FPS genre.    … 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.

    At first, this looks like just another Counterstrike clone. But there’s more depth and variety, despite the lack of content.

    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.
