    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.

    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/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...

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.

    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.

    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.

However the DEVS and support team are very responsive and on top of keeping up with this kind of stuff it seems.

    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.

    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.

    If you lower the disappointing part from the score and combine the remaining strengths, the game will likely get about six points.
    In the first place, this game came out to compete with CSGO and referred to CSGO.
    Therefore, I think it is natural for CSGO to be mentioned when evaluating this game.
    (But I don't think it's good that CSGO makes this game worse.)
    That's why I'm giving six points this game..

    Played during the beta when things were clunky and kinda buggy . but had a lot of fun and playing through the polished version is a great step up in quality. Gun play feels like CS:GO but has its own charm with the added randomness so you cant just memorize spray patterns to have 100% accuracy.

    Still frustrating aspects though which hamper the fun, maps don't flow like CS:GO, and have way too many corners and cubbies which can be annoying at times. Like in CS:GO getting 1 tapped can be frustrating, but learning to always aim at head height can help. Overall a fun game that I will keep playing

    Also whats with all the 0's you give a game like that ET game that they burried in the desert a 0, how is this on that level

    Although the game is not perfect, it's a free game that's fun to play with friends, it's main focus is teamwork, strategy, economy, and good old FPS shooting. I would recommend this game to anyone from a brand new player to an experienced vet!

I play ALOT of raze which is a little controversial but the blast packs allow for very fast paced and aggressive gameplay. The maps can be a little more close quarters than counterstrike and other games but overall the game has a very good developer team with the map design and balancing extremely well suited top level competitive play. The new agent Reyna rewards an aggressive playstyle and suits fast paced combat allowing you to take any fight a not get traded by going invulnerable for a few seconds but with a passive playstyle like so many player seem to feel is necessary her kit becomes fairly useless. Tactical play Is a corner stone of a competitive game but when you add in randomness such as moving innaccuracy no matter what you do it's possible to win. My only downsides so far are the lack of spray patterns meaning players can't master the recoil allowing for what are some of my favourite plays possible in FPS games, spray patterns would be extra welcome when shooting with a combat stim do you can actually spray effectively at range with some situations actually making it harder to kill enemies particularly with Reyna's ult at longer ranges. As well as this there is a lack of ffa/aim training meaning new players will find it harder to Improve and veteran players can't master the game at the same level. I'm focusing purely on gameplay in this review as the skins are definitely overpriced and feel chunky/off (except the reaver collection that was done right!) Expand

    I will separate this extensive review with different titles, so you can skip the topics you're not interested in.

    ABOUT THE 0/10 REVIEWS:
    Most people complain about this game not being what they want it to be, instead of judging the game for what it is. For instance, some people complain about the fact that Valorant is taking features and ideas from both CSGO & Overwatch, without "adding something new to the table". I think this is a horrible reason to give a game 0/10 since many great games take ideas from previous games and make something unique out of it. It is in my opinion that a game can be excellent without innovating the video game industry and Valorant is a good example of this.

    GAMEPLAY:
    I enjoy the fact that the modes available at launch respect the players time. There is the regular, more competitive mode as well as a shorter mode for when you don't have much time ahead of you. For those of you who don't know by know, Valorant's gameplay is a fusion between CSGO tactical shooter and Overwatch abilities. Overall, the game is closer to CSGO because of the mode, guns, economy, etc. Also, the abilities in Valorant are, in general, support abilities only (with a few exceptions). The gunplay feels snappy and responsive and each gun offers a different experience in terms of recoil, spread, sound, reload animation. It's great, maybe above-average, but not revolutionary.

    GRAPHICS:
    This aspect of the game is one where low score reviews have a good point. The graphics of the game are nothing to be impressed by 2020's standards. I understand that Riot Games prioritized performance, ease of access and optimization over graphic fidelity, and who knows, maybe it will affect their bottom line positively since even people with low-end PC's can play the game, but at the end of the day, if these outdated graphics push you away, I wouldn't blame you.

    LORE:
    Knowing Riot Games, I expect them to expand on the lore over time. So far, they did a great job at providing a wide variety of agents and they all feel distinct. I'm not someone who absolutely needs "representation" in a video game, but the way they have been introducing the characters so far feels very organic and I can appreciate that.

    SOUNDS:
    Nothing much to mention here. The main theme feels modern, not too discrete but not too busy either. The gun sounds feel appropiate, but again, nothing revolutionary here.

    CONNECTIVITY:
    I did not encounter any connectivity or ping issue so far. It is worth noting that I'm happy about this because it is not rare to see new games with hiccups.

    SKINS AND OTHER BUYABLE STUFF:
    I think Riot Games needs to work, or keep working, on providing skins and content that will appeal to a wide variety of players, not only the players that are rich. I understand that lots of work go into creating unique guns and cosmetics, but at the end of the day, if Riot Games monetization only depends on the 1% "whales" (ultra-rich players with addiction), the vast majority of the players will be unhappy with the costs.

    The game is really a fresh new take on the tactical fps genre. The weapon are solid and the characters are well designed, maps are ok and the game turns out to be really addicting. The only concern is about Vanguard which should not be running 24/7 as you boot up your pc but only when the game launches.

It's not perfect either. It is so derivative and riot is playing it so safe. This game has such a small scope. It has to appeal one type of player, and those are the hardcore competitive ones. It does succeed in that but it fails in everything else and it has flaws even in the one thing it's trying to achieve. The lack of accessibility is a flaw, it isn't something to be proud of as elite gamers. The game lacks personality (csgo has more personality with ts and cts).

    Now on to the failings of VAL as a competitive game: the netcode is trash. 128 bitrate doesn't change anything and it's not noticeable, except when I start lagging in the same situation where on other games id be fine. The maps are actually garbage. Labyrinths with 100 different way to go, as well as completely unrecognisable sections of the maps. The shooting is good even if again so derivative. Abilities are either csgo utility (flashes, smokes, molotovs) or from ow, both games that actually tried to bring a new playstyle on the market. The audio is not as good as in tf2 (a game from 13 years ago) and the graphics too are like team fortress: trash, for a game that came out in 2020. The thing is that my PC is not good, so I would have to be happy about the graphics, cuz at least I can play, but the game has shown really inconsistent performance. The interactions between abilities and environment are much simpler than in csgo, which makes it so there only so much you can improve in that direction. Also, there are features that were included because they are present in csgo, but don't work here. Wallbanging, for example, is really strong and easy to abuse, in a game where you have more than 1 ability that allows you to see through walls.

    The only things that the game succeeds at are:
    Shooting and movement - of course is the same as csgo
    Abilities and skill cap in using them - of course is the same as ow
    Small little quality of life improvement over csgo - of course they have been called for for years and if you build a new engine ur gonna include them.

    Overall the game works. For such a derivative game with such little ambition (the only ambition is to appeal to hardcore competitive players), I can't give more than 8. For a game that has still many flaws and has launched with big technical problems, on top of having bad maps, bad audio, bad netcode and flat interaction (all scripted and clean, not much possibility for expression) I can't give more than 7. Not lower because the game still succeeds at appealing to half of its intended audience. Not all competitive hardcore players, but only the ones that already loved csgo.

    To my surprise, a very fun game that most of the time feels smooth and engaging! Manages to bring something fresh even for people like me who didn't enjoy CS :) I love that the game runs well in older PCs.

I really enjoyed the game as i found it blended the classic cs style gunplay (which most people who wrote a negative review complaining about the gunplay haven't even played cs) with interesting abilities that expand the skill ceiling and open up so many new strategies. The maps are all well designed and fun to play (apart from split imo), which is expected from Volcano, who made cache for cs, a great map officially included in the game. Iv'e heard many compllaints about the map being too small or there being too many corners to check or that the layout is too basic. 1. The layout is basic because 4 square layouts work in 5v5 comp games such as this game and counterstike, Having too many small narrow passageways would just make the game so boring and dull to play. 2. There are loads of corners and angles to check because THE ABILITIES ARE DESIGNED FOR THAT. Finally, i've seen many people complain about how the graphics are really bad and on par with mobile games. 1. Ive never seen a mobile game look that good. 2. THE GRAPHICS WERE DESIGNED TO BE TONED DOWN TO ALLOW PEOPLE WITH WORSE PC'S TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO PLAY THE GAME. The only negatives for me is the vanguard anti cheat which apparently does stuff to your PC but to be honest i don't really care. 9/10 very fun to play with friends and overall a refreshing experience.

    - The anti-cheat, I think it’s called vanguards, is very intrusive. - From my experience so far, the abilities make it very cluttered and kinda like overwatch as a spectator esport, although I don’t think it’s as bad as overwatch which was at times unwatchable for new players, but definitely a massive step away from the simplicity that is counter strike. - (subjective) I don’t personally like the weapon design, feels very clunky and forced. Example, the AWP in CSGO in my opinion is just so much more stylish and satisfying to get a kill with than the OPERATOR in VALORANT, but maybe that’s just me. - (Subjective) I personally don’t feel like the spray control is as skill based as that in CSGO. Very very easy to pick up. Overall I like the game and it can definitely be a good esport title. I don’t think it’ll be quite the CSGO killer people were hyping it up to be, but I definitely think it’ll be as big as say the OWL?

    The only feature holding the game back from being a 10 for me is the monetization. The game features a Battle Pass based on XP earned in game and an in-game shop. The Battle Pass is a great value with varied and frequent rewards for only $10. The shop features a weekly featured skin collection and 4 daily rotating offers. The guns themselves are a bit on the expensive side, but this becomes brutally apparent with the collections. As of writing, the Prime collection the game launched with is around $70. There are freebies in the bundle, but each gun is around $10-$20 and the knives were anywhere between $20-$35. Fixing the shop would make this game a 10/10 for me.

    I played this game from Beta. I'm not a CS:GO fan but I play some games of CS and fell really hardcore. Valorant is different it easier. The game does have some issues and bugs. But the dev team always listen and satisfied gamer need.

    exactly what i'd want from a tactical fps. the slower movement gives a greater emphasis to aiming and gunplay which feels very satisfying when you succeed. the maps are designed in a pretty specific way to allow for effective use of abilities and it works out great as there is a way to counterplay almost any situation your opponents might throw at you. mechanics, gamesense and knowledgeexactly what i'd want from a tactical fps. the slower movement gives a greater emphasis to aiming and gunplay which feels very satisfying when you succeed. the maps are designed in a pretty specific way to allow for effective use of abilities and it works out great as there is a way to counterplay almost any situation your opponents might throw at you. mechanics, gamesense and knowledge always allow the most skillful players to rise to the top. i highly recommend this game for anyone that enjoys a strategic shooter with a lot more flair than CS Expand

    This game is very good. It is a tactical shooter that spices things up by adding abilities into the space. None of the characters are extremely overpowered which is a problem with most games that introduce characters,agents,etc. Most of these negative reviews are just csgo players who hate that riot has made a game that is going to compete with the game they like for many years to come.This game is very good.

Valorant does have some flaws such as launching without a ranked mode and only having 4 maps, but both of these issues will be addressed over time. If you enjoy tactical fps games definitely give this one a shot Expand

    Very good job! MacBook Pro 15 (2012 mid) 2.6, 16 Gb, GeForce 650M 1 Gb — incredibly FPS! Gameplay is enough exciting.

    Some of the most fun I've had in a game in a long time. IMO the graphics/ gameplay are better than CSGO and I get the sense that people are sort of just bitter that CS has a competitor now. Some small improvements still needed but given that its the first week its great.

    The game is smooth for some PC, I just dont know if it works on some other PC that makes it more laggy. But Overall the game is great from its mechanics to its gameplay. There are just some couple of bugs I think since it was just released this 2nd of June. The running in-game is so loud you can actually pin point the player and the guns are great both ADS and Hipfire.
    Teamwork is key here

    Teamwork is key here and same as Patience its about being precise and not fully action packed game its a 5v5 tactical shooter it is stated on their website. But Overall it works awesomeand i think this will be one of the great online fps shooters i played so far.

    This game is excellent. There are very few faults to Valorant and it's definitely a strong 10. I was lucky enough to test it during beta and now playing the game live, it's still awesome. It has the competitiveness that a hardcore shooter needs, but it also allows for a lot more plays than just your regular running and gunning.

    Valorant's gun mechanics are very similar to CS:GO. Valorant has different agents all having different abilities (toned down overwatch abilities). I was fortunate to be able to play it during the beta to get a feel for it before the official launch and i would say this is the most fun game i have played in the past few months. It is a tactical shooter and not a run and gun type of game, soValorant's gun mechanics are very similar to CS:GO.

If you are at all interested i would give the game a chance, play a few matches, and get used to the feel of the game before giving it a negative review like many others have. Expand

    Valorant, where do i start. Why the 9 and not 10? Because of the slight issues with pricing, not bugs or unpolished, but pricing. The skins price were shot up after beta, which is severly unfair however can be overcome by not buying them, i mean, they are just skins. Im sick of the critiques on the games finished state.

Can we all just take a moment to realise, RIOT strived to bring this game out early, early enough to be at full release during this harsh pandemic. They were eager and keen to do so, so wether it is or isnt in a polished state, please give them a break, they tried their best. They did not believe they would get it done til late summer or after COVID and they brought it out months early, they're legends if you ask me. Just a moment of context, i hate League so i dont worship Riot. People also believe they ripped off both overwatch and CS:GO. 1 Overwatch is too ability dependent and in Val abilities are more like ultility in CSGO, so hardly close to Overwatch in the games combat mechancics. 2 CSGO was Valves Unloved child. The one where the SG was allowed to roam free with its straightforward spray and 100% accuracy on nearly every tap. So, with those things considered, this game being considered as a CSGO killer, well...... I believe it has potential. The aiming and movement is very skill based, a jett could pop her ult and still get shut down by a PUB stomper. So, as a game, and the mechanics which are engraved into it's foundations. The game is fantastic, I love the attention to detail, like the minimalistic graphics, as said by the devs themselves, they chose that route to reduce confusion with models blending into terrain etc, which is why sprays disappear after a certain amount of time and why most walls lack detail. If you aim to play this game competetively, that is a feature you will worship, if this game style was on triple A graphics, it would only disperse confusion and lead to a more tiliting experience. I imagie most of those complaining are either loyal CS fans, or from else where, those who play CS and understand its faults will appreciate Valorant. Simplistic animations, no-one can complain because in cs if you had high movement animations you were scuicidal. So lets move on. The Esports scene in my opinion is setup for a new generation or the current youth, the cartoon style is to appeal to youth, rather than looking like an aged game. So all you oldies out there can stop reading thank you. Finally, something which few Devs can stand behind, experience in te game and dedication of time for the future. Devs promised years of life in Valorant, and i imagine the game engine will evolve as Unreal engine does too! One dev, Volcano, an Ex cs player and creator of Cache, litereally puts heavy hours into the game as passion rather than job, he and another 4, destroyed big streamers shroud summit etc in a 5v5. So, Valorant. Overall a quality upgrade from CS but more commercialised and appealing to mainstream titles, setup for a large Esports scene and constantly looking for balance. A great game overall Expand

    Really cool game, in my opinion much better than CS:GO in many aspects. I love it and would recommend it to anyone who looks for really competetive FPS. I also cannot say Its CSGO clone because it has too many diffrent things and the games do not feel the same at all.

    Valorant is a polished tactical shooter that simplifies and streamlines CS:GO's mechanics with the personality and uniqueness of Overwatch's characters. The game is polished, smooth, the sound design is perfect and the guns are well balanced. the game has flaws like the anti-cheat and the training range but it's a really fun game if you are willing to learn it

    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.
