    Great game imo, only thing it lacks is originality and I think it's the main reason for all the negative views. Really hope this game continues to have a loyal player base and not get turned away by CSGO players that hate new games

    Best multiplayer game i've played in a while. I really don't like the anti hack system. It feels a bit invasive and I really hope they fix that, among few little things. The game is good as hell. CSGO players are just mad.

    Good game. But I think the default weapon skins from this game are not very easy to identifiable for beginners. All of them are the same color, I tried to shoot a guy, but I didn't know that it was an automatic fire mode. This will likely the most basic mistake of the beginner.

    Valorant - смесь двух старых механик в одном новом проекте.

    Как идея - это довольно интересно.
    Игра не 10/10, но 8 точно, ставлю 10, из-за каэсеров, которые тупо ставят игре 0.

It is the very beginning so the only think it lacks is variety, but it seems as if they are driven to drop a lot of content in the game, but hopefully not so fast to where its not hard to keep up with competitively. A lot of what I see is "graphics this, graphics that, anti-cheat this, anti-cheat that" and I have a take on most. Graphics is its own work of art in my opinion, and I believe it works amazingly for what it is wanting to go for. The anti-cheat, yeah it does sound very worrying, but it means less cheaters, and for me I don't think there is much to worry about and I'm sure they've looked real far into this to know what they're doing, and I think many have just jumped to conclusions, and after all it can just be closed if you're not playing it. Other than that I find myself being able to do much more, and has so much room to really get creative with how you play, and hypes me up doing insane stuff with each and every agent knowing that they're unique, and knowing you will have the upperhand in a handful of situations. The game definitely has room for improvement in terms of maps, and a few other things, which is keeping it from that 1 point to a 10, but I recommend heavily with friends. It is very much enjoyable.… Expand

    I'm not sure why this game is getting such low numbers. There is no way in hell this game is anything close to a 0. Maybe CS:GO fans don't like a game that competes for the same playerbase, or was there over hype for it? (I kind of missed all the hype and just downloaded the game)

(I kind of missed all the hype and just downloaded the game)

    Anyway, the game is more of a 7, but I've put a 10 to try and help level out the scores. The game for sure needs some updates, and the fact it will take over 100 hours to do all of the battlepass is a little dumb, but none the less it is a fun game.

    It has a few bugs here and there, but nothing that really affects gameplay. The guns also need to be changed and spiced up a bit. I don't see much of a difference between some of them, and I think some new ones or tweaks to the current ones will make a huge difference. When I started playing, I also didn't see much uses of a lot of the Agent's abilities, found some of them a little pointless. However, as I've sunk more time into it, learnt the maps better and the Agents, I find myself using them a lot. You need to get under the skin of this game and work out what works where, and what doesn't. This isn't a chill game like Call of Duty, you need to put time into understanding its mechanics, and I fully see how that won't be for everyone.

    I've seen a lot of people talk about the anti-cheat both here and around the internet. To me, it just looks like people are jumping on the freakout train, and don't know how software works. I won't go into huge detail here, but I'll cover some things here.

    - Calling something a rootkit doesn't mean that it's a malicious bit of software. It just means it running at the root, and therefore can do whatever it wants on your PC without needing to ask you or your kernel.

    - It's not the only anti-cheat that runs on ring 0. Easy Anti-Cheat and Battle Eye, alongside a lot of others, do this. I do however understand the argument of it running 24/7 unlike these, I see why they have done it, but I understand why people don't like it.

    - The argument of "It's not spying on you now, but someone could hack Riot and update it so it can". This isn't a simple thing to do. First, you would need to fully program this into the anti-cheat, and then put the update out to all the players. Updating the game isn't as simple as pressing send, someone would spot this before the update went live.

    - Also, why the hell would Riot Games or Tencent spy on you with it? If it logged everything you was doing on your pc for everyone who had it installed, do you know how much data that would be?

    First, you would need to store it all, then you would need to look over it to find anything useful. Even if you get software to do that, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack

    Not only is it massively illegal, and they would be heavily fined if found out. It would also tank their company. Customer trust is very important, you lose that, and that's it. If Tencent was found to be behind it, then it would have huge effects on its company also.

    - And the last one, and the very key one, why the hell bother? What did you do on your PC today? Watch YouTube for a few hours, play a game with mates, and then look at funny cat images on Reddit. What is anyone going to with that information? "The Chinese have gone to war with us, how will we win now they know I spent 3 hours last night on r/Instantregret"

    If you're worried about that the Anti-Cheat is doing then please find YouTube videos by people who know what they're talking about. There are a few out there, I've seen them. Don't listen to people who have just heard rootkit and then freakedout.

    So overall, it's a good game at the moment, it has a lot of potential and I hope Riot with updates can deliver that. If you're worried about the Anti-Cheat then seek out people who know what they're talking about, and then make your own mind up on if you trust it or not. Don't just dive on the freakout train and miss out on what you could find to be a really fun game.

    Anyway, hope you have a good day!    … Expand

    Eh. It copies csgo's economy and also has the same gun play as csgo with the addition of ADS. Some of the abilities feel clunky and annoying to use and there are only two maps but the game is still fun to play and is unique enough that I wouldn't call it a clone. More so "heavily inspired". My biggest issue is the anti-cheat is extremely invasive and kinda annoys me.

It could easily become the next big e-sports title and with good reason as Riot is well versed with this. I have played the beta day one and though roughly enjoyed playing competitive. Upon release, it looks and runs even better and feels much more polished. The characters have seen some balance changes and it's for the better. The new character Reyna does need a little work but that was honestly to be expected. At least competitive is not out at the moment, allowing some rework to be done after feedback.
    Game play is has a good pace and over games don't last nearly as long as for example a match in CS:GO. Map's are fairly well designed for the way this game is as it has heroes with abilities instead of just guns and grenades. They are designed by CS:GO map designers so there are striking resemblances while having new elements. Gun-play has felt good and only has gotten better with changes over the beta and release, ping is low, and I have yet to come across a cheater. I've found they are mostly found at the highest level of play on the occasion. Vanguard is actually fine. It operates like any other anti-cheat so I don't understand the fuss and it does not eat at my computer's resources and effect anything. I have yet to see what many seem to complain about.
    The only thing I have found to be a possible issue are the individual prices for skins. They are particularly high, the bundles however are within reason as they offer skins on a multitude of weapons at a lower overall price. I can't complain much here though as the game itself is a free to play game so this is completely optional.
    Overall this game is actually extremely well made and Riot is also extremely communicative within the community listening to feedback constantly. It shows that they are really adamant in creating a well rounded and polished fps for the e-sports scene. I am honestly excited and intrigued on how they will progress going forward.    … Expand

    A lot of fun to play, especially with friends. Gunplay feels tight and responsive, and the abilities give an added layer of skill to the game. The only things going against it are its lack of game modes and progression at launch, but with ranked releasing sometime soon I'm excited for the future of the game. Hopefully the esports scene for this game grows as well!

    Nothing too innovative, but Valorant's a pretty solid and refined tactical shooter. As a fan of CS, this game is a nice breath of fresh air with the agent abilities. Only problems with the game are general map design, and RNG shooting after the first few shots. Other than that: pretty good game!

    Сервера,128 tickrate. Заметно,как в этой игре хорошо проходит регистрация пуль(после нее зашел в CS и убедился в этом).
    Персонажи. Кому-то они не зашли,я их понимаю. Некоторым нужен фикс(на бете стенка Sage была слишком имбовой,теперь ее намного легче разбивать,это не может не радовать). В целом приятные по образам и скиллам. Так что зачту это как плюс.
    Баги и прочее. За собой в бете заметил парочку,но они никак не мешали игре. Разработчики прислушиваются к комьюннити и фиксят это(в бете это замечалось). Очередной плюс в копилку Риотов.
    Музыкальное сопровождение. Тут похвала,дико кайфовал от нее,даже не выключил(в отличие от той же КС).
    Графика. Честно,мне плевать на нее. Можете сколько угодно кричать про "А ВОТ В КРАЙЗИСЕ ЛУЧШЕ" и т.д,однако картинка приятная. На моем R5 1600 и R9 380x все идет без проблем на максимальных настройках. Жалоб никаких нет,как и на оптимизацию.

    Теперь к минусам.
    Карты. Особенно новая карта,очень раздражает это. Я будто не вижу как-то динамики,смотря на карту. Хотя есть и хорошие карты,на которых приятно играть.
    Отсутствие голосового чата в России. Про это уже говорили,однако могу сказать,что разработчики не виноваты. Благодарить стоит наше любимое Правительство:)
    Ну и больше ничего сказать не могу.

    Игра не является копиркой КС и Овервотча,в нее очень интересно играть(я играл что в первую,что во вторую,но кайф ловлю именно в Валоранте). После КС это какой-то глоток чистого воздуха. Игра заставила меня вспомнить те самые задротские времена в КС,когда я мог и 200 часов за 2 недели наиграть.
    Хейт игры понятен:фанаты КС тут прямо выгорают. Однако от меня игра получает твердые 8/10. Игре есть куда развиваться,и я очень рад,что на рынке появился достойный КС конкурент,который в будущем доберет свое.    … Expand

    This is exactly what I needed during the pandemic : an interesting, competitive mix between an Overwatch-like MOBA and Counter-Strike, including both unique characters, encouraging different playstyles, and the weapon purchase and headshot mechanics which gives an opportunity for people like me who never were good at counter-strike (Siiver despite plating 600+ competitive battles) to countThis is exactly what I needed during the pandemic : an interesting, competitive mix between an Overwatch-like MOBA and Counter-Strike, including both unique characters, encouraging different playstyles, and the weapon purchase and headshot mechanics which gives an opportunity for people like me who never were good at counter-strike (Siiver despite plating 600+ competitive battles) to count not only on my aim and reaction, but also on a correct application of the chosen agent and his abilities in favor of my team.

    Several issues that could be solved with time I guess are of two different kinds : Gameplay-wise, the agents are still a little bit unbalanced resulting in a duo of Sage and Omen in 100% of battles and an extreme rarity of Breach, whose abilities are very limited damage-wise and are only useful in very specific circumstances. The second issue, which in my opinion is what many users underlined as "emptiness" is the lack of high-budget lore, a trend that was born back in 2007 with TF2 and was standardized by Overwatch. I don't think it will be possible to expect a full mini-series of a 20-minutes long machinima for each character considering that the game is F2P and not 30$ (which is a lot for a broke person like myself) like OW, but I think it is reasonable to hope on something like in-game missions and comics explaining the lore progressively (like TF2).    … Expand

    Valorant will always be compared to CS:GO
    But that doesn't mean that it will be always in it's shadow. As we all know, Valve haven't been a good "parent" of CS:GO. In their eyes its still number 2 game (after Dota 2), which really bothers me since CS:GO is more popular (based on SteamDB)

    That's why I'm more interested in seeing how Valorant going to work out for Riot.
    The game in today's state is, of course, objectively worse than CS:GO. But with the Riot as the developer, I feel a great potential for the game. If we look at League of Legends, Riot have always been supportive and had a great feedback to their players. I, personally, don't play League, but I know, that Riot does their job very well, and we might even see competition between CS:GO and Valorant in the future. As to mechanics: it is very similar to its competitor, which works good for players, who got bored of CS:GO (the only difference being hero skills and utility). However, Valorant has to do a good work balancing it, and because the game heavily relies on characters its going to be a tough job for the whole development team (balancing both characters and maps at the same time might prove to be difficult, but I'm still very optimistic).
    In term of graphics - this game does looks outdated, but it helps people with older systems to play and have fun.
    Again: I'm very optimistic about the future of the game, and looking forward to see what it can bring to competitive shooter scene.
    We just have to wait and see, and hope that Riot knows what they're doing.    … Expand

They should be actively encouraging this for competition. With competition there is improvement on both sides.

    I by no means believe the game is perfect but i feel considering the game is free it is a very good product. I have had my own fair share or annoyances with server side issues but that does not bother me as im sure that will go with time. I think the similar combat to cs go is quite fun and the guns have their own spray patterns, which is also why i think CS players are hating on the game, as the spray pattern isn't the exact same. At the end of the day the game is a competitor not a copy. I think people keep wanting certain features to be more like CS but then complain when there are features like CS calling it a copy. The abilities breath fresh air into the game and are fun to try and use in smart ways for bluffs and certain tactics and for the most part feel like a sideline part of the game rather than the primary source of killing. Of course there are some exceptions but i feel as though there aren't many in number and don't feel OP just more annoying. The visual style may not appeal to everyone but its a smart idea as it allows a wider range of computers to run the game, combined with the game being free, this allows for a big player base keeping the game alive longer. Don't get me wrong though i am clearly aware of with free games, comes more smurfing but i guess im used to that from all the League of Legends i play but it is still definitely a negative. At the end of the day i think the game is very fun and i have had hours of enjoyment already without having to spend any money at all.

    Valorant is an interesting blend of two major titles, being Overwatch and CS:GO. It takes the gun play and precise movements from CS:GO and utilizes abilities similar to Overwatch, while not being overwhelming like the latter can be. This blend offers to more exciting and diverse game play and requires more strategy as every situation will be different.

    Mit 2500h CS:GO Erfahrung kann ich sagen das Valorant einiges besser als Counter-Strike macht. Die unterschiedlichen Abilities und Chars machen das Spiel super dynamisch und kurzweilig, daher bietet das Spiel auch eine deutlich höhere Varianz und macht das Gameplay um Längen interessanter. Nach meiner Meinung nach gibt es keinen Grund weiterhin CS zu spielen.

    This isn't the game that might be on the first look. There are a lot more mechanics from other competitive games. Even from MOBAs. After about 10 hours you start to understand that this is not just an abomination of CSGO+Owerwatch. Give it a try as it's truly worth it.

I do not have an issue with cubbies themselves but it is frustrating that there are so many and that they are all so strong to hold. When peeking a cubby you leave yourself exposed to virtually every other angle. Also if you leave for more than a round in an unrated match you can get a one hour ban. Also also, this is a personal issue but the game despite running perfectly fine keeps crashing my computer and then proceeds to ban me and the Devs on reddit delete my posts almost instantly without a response. The essential concept of a CSGO style game with more whacky abilities is cool, but lacks in too many areas at the moment but they went for the early full release anyway.

Graphics seems stylish for me. I guess, you should give it a try.

    The user interface is not intuitive after the tutorial You try to connect to a multiplayer game but find out you can't because you need to switch to open play. Picking a character is not untuitive, you click them and then a button that a color-blind person would miss requires you to click it and doesn't notify you if you haven't and time is running out.

    The repetitive brooding music in the menu interface makes me want smash my own head. Repetitive dark melody with three notes. Repetitive dark melody with three notes, one slightly higher pitch.

    Valorants graphics look unpolished especially the main menu which is confusing to use and a lot of animations and sounds either need to be added or redone.
    The gunplay is the biggest issue for me, you either have to pray to the RNG gods that you hit a head-shot with a spray or you need to stand completely still and still you might only get 2 or 3 hits on them.

    Currently I don’t think the game is a 10/10, it was a bit rushed to release with some problems still remaining in the game, which in my opinion are the map design of the current maps and how certain characters are a bit too strong but the latter is present in every game that has different characters. Maps aren’t perfectly optimised and sometimes there are lag spikes but from my experienceCurrently I don’t think the game is a 10/10, it was a bit rushed to release with some problems still remaining in the game, which in my opinion are the map design of the current maps and how certain characters are a bit too strong but the latter is present in every game that has different characters. Maps aren’t perfectly optimised and sometimes there are lag spikes but from my experience those are few and far between. Some abilities overshadow the gunplay but with players learning how to deal with them it became less of an issue.

    Those are probably not all of the issues with the game but are the once that came to mind. On the other hand the points that the game has managed to achieve are great visibility designed for a competitive experience, the devs listen to the community and already updated split twice for the better, nerfing raze, increasing ability cost and etc. Unlike CS GO which almost ignores the community riot pays attention to it. The gunplay is similar to CS but different. Having played CS GO for 3k hours OW for 4K hours and achieving tier 3 and top 500 on OW, i was looking for a competitive experience going into valorant and as far as I am concerned I have received it.

    Currently the game is getting spammed with negative reviews and some of them have reasonable arguments, but the majority is just being outright stupid, yes the graphics of this game aren’t the most advance, but there is a reason for that - more advance graphics leads to higher detail which leads to poor visibility, for example smokes in CS GO. The AC is a Chinese malware - while its true that riot is owned by a Chinese company the likely hood that it’s a malware aren’t too high and even if it is all it will achieve is better targeted ads based on your personal information. The biggest problem with kernel access AC is that it can be used by someone else to get direct access to your computer via a backdrop in the AC but that would require said person to know the backdoor to vanguards AC and the IP address of your computer with the knowledge that you have vanguard installed.

    The complaints about the game being boring is a personal preferences - yes the game is slower pace then say CoD or OW and it may not be to the persons liking, it doesn’t mean that the game is bad it means that it is not to your personal taste.

    Complaints that the game is overrun with cheaters are false in my opinion as I spend a lot of time playing this game - attempting to keep at 10h plus a day for the most part besides my exam period and I’ve run into less then 5 people that I was sure were cheating, there were more people that felt suspicious but they weren’t guaranteed to be cheating and I can tell you from first hand experience that in CS GO without prime matchmaking you will run into way more cheaters - it is not even comparable.

    Overall the game isn’t perfect and can be improved, but I strongly believe it will improve to be even better as so far riot has taken all the right steps to making me think that they will be good at managing this game. If you like competitive, tactical shooters then I strongly recommend valorant.    … Expand

It has an aesthetically pleasing art design, a great set of characters with unique designs, excellent VA's, an amazing soundtrack and new game mechanics which combine together to form a competitive-based 5V5 fps. Using each character's abilities is immensely entertaining and brings great satisfaction when making highlight plays with them. You can get so creative when playing certain characters which I absolutely love, it opens up so much potential for what can be done during competitive play.

    Upon my first visit to the game i found the movement to feel very clunky and slow, which initially almost put me off the game entirely. The movement speed acceleration in Valorant is much slower than other FPS titles I've played, however it was something I was able to get used to quickly. Valorants movement causes peaking to be MUCH less forgiving. Quickly peeking around the corner in Valorant for info (something you occasionally get away with in CSGO) is more likely to punish you severely. Getting shot once will essentially slow you to a halt and leave you at the mercy of enemies. This, coupled with the unique abilities of the agents, is what definitely sets apart Valorant from other similar games like CSGO for me. I honestly disagree with those saying it's a copy of CSGO, the way matches progresses over time and the play style you have to adopt feels completely different. Valorant is more like CSGOs younger brother. The game is definitely more than what some make it out to be. The only major similarity I see is the competitive concept that the game is trying to achieve (i.e. the universal gun arsenals available for each team, map layout, bomb defusal scenario).

    How good the maps are is completely up for debate. Some will like them, others will absolutely despise them. Some will think they are copies of CSGO maps, I think that that's an overstatement. The Vanguard anti-cheat system is also highly controversial due to its invasive nature. If you don't trust Riot Games or want a system that continuously scans your PC for cheats every time you boot up the system, then don't play this game. That aside, contrary to what other people are saying, I believe the effectiveness of Vanguard is satisfactory. I can count on one hand how many cheaters I've faced thus far in the game and although my experience may not be representative, I would've expected far more encounters with cheaters than I have so far, especially in a F2P game. People claiming to have encountered cheaters every single game, are either very unlucky or simply mistaken in my opinion.

    I very much dislike the fact that map selection is not a thing in this game. On one particular session I played a specific map 10 GAMES in a row, which led to me getting bored of it really quick (it was ascent for those of you wondering). Although it was a stroke of bad luck in this case, they need to implement the option to choose the maps you would like to go into. Moreover, they have not added ranked into this game yet, albeit for an appropriate reason (to allow new players to learn the game). For competitive, team-based fps's, I find the most enjoyment climbing up the rank system. So to have a game of this type only allowing you to play casual (and another similar game mode), I would have to say that as of now, until ranked is re-released, it is not as fun as it can be. Some scaling of the UI for different aspect ratios would be nice too. I personally like to play 4:3 and I know that it doesn't increase the body size of enemies, it's just what I prefer. I find that on non 16:9 ratios the UI is squashed up or cropped which I find very annoying (although definitely still playable).

    Overall, I think the game is good. The fact that it is free to play and low-end PC friendly (despite its aesthetics) is great and gives everyone the opportunity to play with minimal difficulty. The diverse range of characters are so fun to play around with, and although a few abilities are imbalanced, the dev's thus far have dished out frequent improvements and balance updates to the game. You can tell that they care about this game a lot, and the support they give to it is enough motivation for me to continue playing despite the issues it has right now. People need to understand that this game is very new, and that there will undoubtedly be some problems. I do believe that some of the criticisms it is receiving is unjustified. I enjoy playing Valorant, I think it's a fun game. I would recommend anyone to give it a try as long as they are okay with how the Vanguard system works.

    I am confident that Valorant and its community will grow over the next few years. I'll be looking forward for the release of new content, characters, maps, and how they will change the meta in this ever-evolving game.    … Expand

    As a csgo player i’m glad there is some counterbalance for the OG csgo since most of the shooters outside are more focused on OW or COD style shooters.
    This game is as addicting or not more than csgo, that said the gameplay can feel similar but offers fresh take in the oldschool FPS genre, the gunplay is slower than csgo but is perfectly syncronized with the abilities of each agent.

    Review bombing in games is the stupidiest thing people can do. Reviews are meant to help people decide if they should give the game a try. So bombing is just stupid and forgets the whole point of reviews. I'm not saying it is wrong to post a negative review on a game. I'm saying that if you are gonna do it. At least do it right.

    Clean visual style with a deliberate gameplay style of being slow and methodical one second and then explosive action the next. Its got some issues that need to be fixed but nothing game breaking. If you enjoy games like CS then you might enjoy Valorant. And as a bonus its free to play.

    I remember when people raged over how Overwatch just copied Team Fortress 2, and every FPS game in the early 90s was just a Doom clone, or how tons of games after Halo limited your weapon slots to 2, or how PUBG created a wild fire of Battle Royale games. Valorant is no different from any other game in the industry borrowing popular ideas and putting its own spin on it.

    Its all been done before.

    Valorant is definitely the best FPS tactical shooter in years.

    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.
