    So I was fortunate enough to make it into the closed beta and play throughout the entire beta. First things first is it's a skill based shooter, if you're bad at csgo and you don't want to practice to get better then you're going to hate this game. Now it also has abilities!!! WOW it's actually quite refreshing! Better with friends too. I like it cause it rewards well aimed shots andSo I was fortunate enough to make it into the closed beta and play throughout the entire beta.

WOW it's actually quite refreshing! Better with friends too. I like it cause it rewards well aimed shots and you're not as reliant on your team unlike games such as overwatch and league. The game is pretttyyy well polished(still some bugs are being worked out), free, runs exceptionally well, and has pretty well laid out maps! The bads? Well some heroes are pretty strong but a shot to the head takes anyone out, and some people are upset about vanguard (with just reason) but it's no different from battleeye or easy bear and you can close it when you're not playing valorant anyways. Free is fun, get good and spend at least 15-30 minutes in the practice range for heaven's sake. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is so different of any game i play... yes its like a son of league of legends and csgo, but you must be blind to say "valorant is a clon of csgo" for the next reasons i say that the game is so diferent: first of all, the abilities are so important in every round, if a team is not playng using the habilites, that team will lost Second of all: the gameplay is so different in every round, in the first round, we play slow, but in the second, is so frenetic
    Thirt point: the abilities are buyables changin everything you know about csgo and his shop
    And, the last one: the COMUNITY, everyone who play csgo will understand and its imposible hack valoran but in csgo its imposible to play and cant find a hacker
    I wonder that this review help to understand why valorant is not a clon of CSGO

    Valorant fills a niche I've always wanted in a shooter.

    Valorant is a solid game, don't get me wrong, the visuals are slick and the gun play feels great, however this game is bogged down by its violent and downright toxic community.

    Don't ever ask for help in a match or in the public Discord server, you will find little to no help there other than "git gud". Don't participate in discussions, you'll run into many people who defend their characters with their lives and persecute anyone who doesn't. You'll also run into trash talkers. So. Many. Trash talkers.

    This game inherits the poor situation of being a game focused on an e-sport community and being a game by Riot, the guys who made such games like League of Legends, which attracts a community full of toxic players from the other games to that game.

    Not only that, but many issues regarding Valorant's invasive run-on-startup anti-cheat, cheaters in the games anyway despite the anti-cheat's best efforts, and many data privacy issues have arisen over the months before the launch.

    Valorant overall is a game that is amazing on all levels, except its community and the company behind it's intentions.

    I've played CS:GO for a while (300 hours), but i didn't like this game, but when i've heard, that Valorant is coming, i wasn't so happy. I realised, that it's just CS with skills, BUT I liked that idea. I never played Riot games before (everything I've heard about this studio was, that they've made LoL).
    In the fifth day of Closed Beta i got the key and i started to play. First i was disappointed, cus the game was TOO raw. I also had some problems with Riot Vanguard, some of my games were lagging and I had to delete anticheat EVERY TIME i quit the Valorant (spoiler: Riot didn't fix this problem).
    When i said "raw", i meant, that the game didn't have death animation, 2007 graphic, bad bullet registration and more. I don't know, but i and my friends think the defense is stronger than attack becaus of the maps. They are very narrow, that why some heroes like Raze, Sage, Cypher are OP. The best example of it is Bind, you will often see, that the team will comeback in defense and lose in attack in the second half. The rating system was bad. You could get 2 rangs at the second place in 13-10 match and lose rang at the first place in 12-13 match.
    In the relise Riot fixed many problems, like shooting, some animations and bugs. I'm still playing in this game, but I don't feel, that i'm loving it, that why i gave Valorant 5/10.
    That was the short story and now now final pros and minuses:
    +Idea
    +Bullet registration
    +Optimization
    ~Maps
    ~Heroes (some of them are op, some- are useless)
    ~Weapons scatter (you must "one tap" in this game)
    -Graphics
    -Anticheat
    -Animation
    -Balance

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.

Art style is interesting but the game should have embraced it more. made the maps more stylistic. upped the insanity of the tight spaces, or used a stronger cyberpunk aesthetic. But no, it just has a CSGO vibe that's it.

    This is an overyhped CSGO clone, out to steal the old dog's thunder. essentially nothing feels special about playing it. The only thing I like about is that it's only 8 gigs big.

    If you are a player of CSGO or any other better shooter, prepare to be disappointed.

When Riot announced they were doing a hero shooter i got super excited to see what they could manage as the people that work there is super talented, did it deliver?
    No it didn't

    The sound it’s both good and bad. The voice acting is great, I’ve played several hours with both English and Spanish voices and the work they’ve done is superb, the abilities from the agents all sound really Good, but the weapons lack a bit of punch, some like the snipers sound really good with a clear futuristic “Bang!”, others like the SMG’s and one of the AR’s sound like a peashooter.
    _
    Visuals is where the game clearly shines, but some of the characters designs stick out like a sore thumb, Characters like Phoenix and Jett that walk around with a clear “sci-fi casual” style side by side with others like Sage or Omen that look like they came out straight from the Paladins roster.
    The maps, while the art style again makes them really good as something to look at, on the gameplay aspect they’re too similar in design at the ground level. While the loading screen art shows incredible landmarks on them, the maps actually boil down to “the one with beige walls, the one with beige walls and sewers, the one with beige walls and some steel platform” you’re going to end up learning the maps by playing since there is only 4 but the design doesn’t help at all.
    _
    The gameplay is where my biggest problem with the game lies, to say it softly, this game was clearly “inspired” by Counter Strike, and while it tried to add it’s own spin into it’s gameplay, it fails incredibly hard.
    Let’s start with the good, the weapons damage seems balanced in regards to the prices, if two weapons cost the same it mostly boils down to your preference on how they both work, they also actually feel good while shooting from the hip, if you have experience with CS and can play without ADS not once, you’ll enjoy the gunplay a lot. The server tickrate is a godsent and the hitreg on the characters models has also been incredibly accurate for me.
    Now the bad, which is pretty much everything else. ADSing. Why? Just why would you make ADS work so bad? When you aim down sights your reticle changes to a holographic universal sight, now, on every FPS where you’re given this option you sacrifice your field of view in exchange for the ability to land precise shots having to worry only about the weapon recoil, Valorant has to be different and completely ditches that idea. Here if you ADS not only you lose your FOV of the area, you lose fire rate on your weapon, and the spread that the weapon has while shooting from the hip is still there! I’ll admit it reduces it, just why would you introduce ADSing in your game if it only hurts you.
    The gameplay around the map is also quite bad, aside form the whole “it’s all beige walls” point I already stated before, players can move way too much before a round start, there are clear spawn zones for both attack and defense but both teams can move freely on a larger area before the round starts with five convenient exits into a middle neutral zone. This degrades the game into a guessing game, do we all go into this exit leading to A and try to plant fast? Would the enemy team defend each one door or would they all play around the doors to plant zones? While this all sounds good in paper most matches boils down to a 1v2 engagement that starts the snowballing of the team that wins and ends up with more money.
    Now, character balance, Yes, there are clearly some agents that are better than others, this is a hero shooter and there’s going to be balance issues, but here they’re aggravated since the abilities cost money, not a lot, I’ll admit it, only between 100 and 300, but it all adds up when you consider that some characters like Raze have all abilities that deal damage and can help her snowball, or Reyna who can fully heal up after each kill.
    There’s pretty much no balanced matchmaking, with no comp mode currently in the game to set an MMR to players you can jump into your first game and find yourself against a 5-man squad of beta players with hundreds of hours into the game. Starting to play now is going to be incredibly rough and hard.
    _
    There are a lot of disappointing things about the game that dont fit here, the store pricings, the lack of progress if you don't own the battle pass, the entire Vanguard fiasco...
    I cant recommend the game honestly, it's not a 0, neither a 10/10, just a mediocre product with better options out there. Play CSGO, Siege or OW, not this

    CSGOverwatch is one of its many names on the internet. People claim it copies CS:GO's gun mechanics, and copies the agent abilities from Overwatch. Now, I can't deny that the game has it's similarities but, after playing in the closed beta and the full release the game is not game-breakingly imbalanced as some people claim. The abilities force people to think outside of the box aboutCSGOverwatch is one of its many names on the internet. People claim it copies CS:GO's gun mechanics, and copies the agent abilities from Overwatch. Now, I can't deny that the game has it's similarities but, after playing in the closed beta and the full release the game is not game-breakingly imbalanced as some people claim. The abilities force people to think outside of the box about positioning and strategy, and the abilities are all well balanced and are able to be countered.
    The main thing is that people who have thousands of hours on other tactical shooters like CS:GO, complain about the "lack of skill". The recoil patterns become RNG after a few shots, the abilities are crutches, so on, so forth. I disagree. The abilities have their uses, pros and cons, and like I said before, can be easily countered with better positioning and reaction times. The abilities do require skill to use, especially in the higher tiers of this games ranked mode. Any rank above Iron you cannot just randomly toss a fire into the middle of mid and manage to actually get use out of that fire. The abilities require game sense, logical thinking and strategy to use well.
    The guns. Old dogs from various other FPS games will think that the guns are, "clunky" and shoot like "pea-shooters''. Where they did not elaborate on how the guns were "clunky" and "peashooters" other than saying the SFX are bad. They also say that the guns have too high of a contrast with each other, meaning some guns will not be used most of the time, comparing it with CS:GO, somehow forgetting that the PP Bizon and the M249 exist. The "clunky" shooting mechanics is something I have never felt, so I can't really comment on it. The peashooter guns might be in reference to the starter pistol. The sad part is that people in the user reviews have biased reviews, and mine will certainly have biased opinions in it, but i try to put facts behind the opinions. I have seen a person state in their review that there are "too many pistols” and that many of them will never be used after a pistol round because you will always have enough money to buy a rifle and armor. Anyone who has played this game for more than 4 hours can tell you that is wrong. Eco rounds will happen at least twice every game. it's impossible to always have enough to buy rifles and armor. If you lose the pistol round you will need to either not buy anything or decide to Eco, or to force buy, with most choosing the last 2. The amount of pistols are not the problem. Neither is the amount of ARs. 3 assault rifles, both teams can access. Unlike CS:GO that is referenced more than the Bible nowadays due to this game, the amount of guns is much less than the 33 guns that CS:GO has. The negative reviews are all widely spread out, not focusing on a single bad point most of the time. It's either server ping, Vanguard, guns, abilities. Not a lot of reviews i have stumbled upon have had at least 3 of these listed as issues.
    Now after defending the game, I want to pick on it's bad bits.
    The Anti-Cheat. Vanguard is extremely controversial due to it's invasive methods, and people claim it steals info, shuts down drivers without warning, and causes blue screens. I myself have only experienced the blue screen, but the cool down from having Vanguard blue screen my PC is infuriating and tilting.
    The Graphics. One review that i had to translate because it was in Russian says the graphics were reminiscent of old PS2 games, and i can't disagree. I generally prefer CS:GO's graphics and Valorant's seems a bit cartoony and kid-friendly. In fact the reason i got into the Closed Beta so late was because the graphics were putting me off actually trying to get the game.
    The Toxicity. I cannot say that I'm not toxic at times, but having people immediately throwing after losing pistol or screaming when you miss a shot from 50m away is tilting. Riot promised that toxic players will be punished, but I have played against players that sent slurs into the chat and were not punished immediately. Sure they might've been punished later on, but you don't get informed when they are. It makes me lose trust in the moderation of the game, as I will never know if someone who was toxic or blatantly cheating was banned, or got away scot-free.
    The MMR. Games like CS:GO have skill levels. You have Silver, the worst of the worst, and Global Elite, the best of the best. Every game you play should and is balanced skill-wise. In Valorant, it's the opposite. You can go up against people who drop 50 kills in a single game, and meanwhile you and your teammates get at most 18 kills. The MMR is severely imbalanced and if not fixed, could drive away the playerbase.
    The Skins. I won't lie. I'm broke as hell, but the price of the skins are way too high. $70 for a bundle, and another $70 to "upgrade" the skins. This is an extremely scummy way of earning money.
    In conclusion the game needs changes. I don't disagree. Riot, please fix

    Gunplay
    - In general most guns seem reliable with the patterns given but the only issue I see is recoil not changing when switching from standing to crouched.
    -Most vandal v vandal (any gun) fights seem like an equal battle but the addition of Reyna seems to be overpowered compared to brimstone's gadget.
    -Wall banging is still very annoying when it happens to you but obviously is satisfying when you do it. I think the game needs more consistency with what walls are wallbangable.

    Hero Abilities
    -For the most part I feel that most characters are fairly balanced except for Raze and Reyna. I've never felt as if I lost because of a **** ability but rather I died due to a poor play from me.
    -Omen needs a buff. Teleport shouldn't make a sound at all. It really just ruins his character because when the sound goes off everyone knows where you're at. I rather have it where you know he has ult, Omen ults, No one hears it, he gets a pick then the communication on the other team has to call out he teleported.
    -Jett needs more consistency with right click on the ult. Too many times have I been standing still and no knives hit.

    Pacing
    -Reviews saying the game is boring are wrong. It's only boring because of your play style. If you want fast paced gameplay, coordinate with the team then fully rush a site.

    Economy
    -Definitely needs to be less rewarding. If you save for 3 rounds at the start you will have full armor + vandal for the rest of the half even if you're losing.

    Loot Boxes (Contentious Topic)
    -In my own opinion loot boxes makes shooters thrive if it's purely cosmetic. I don't like the idea that I buy an axe for $35 that half the population has also. Doesn't feel unique versus pure rng giving you a specific float for a rare gun/knife.
    -They need to open up a marketplace if the idea above is implemented because the game will grow in popularity if the people can get more out of the game other then just ranking or buying generic skins that look as if they were made by a 10 year old.

    Un Counter Strike con habilidades y muchos defectos.

    Este juego destaca mucho por ser gratis y por la jugabilidad, siendo un juego competitivo igual al conocido CS mezclado con sigilo pero con habilidades y poderes, lo cual esta muy muy bien implementada, siendo un juego demasiado dependiente de la comunicacion con tus compañeros, y la habilidad de ellos de utilizar con sabiduria las habilidades.
    Hay varios mapas, el desarrollo de los mapas esta muy bueno, cada rincon del mapa fue pensado con la estrategia y el juego en equipo como prioridad; pero se sienten vacios, repetitivos, y muy "cuadrados"

    Los personajes es otra cosa que destaca de este juego, hay muchisima variedad y son muy diferentes unos de otros, diferenciandose en roles, algunos tienen habilidades mas pensadas en defensa, soporte, exploradores, o asaltantes.

    Hay pocos modos de juego, siendo todos iguales pero con leves diferencias; al igual que las armas que incluso tienen demasiado recoil y hay que aprender mucho a dominarlas lo cual no es facil de hacer.

    Este juego lamentablemente tiene muchos defectos, el juego vive actualizandose generando mas problemas que soluciones, el juego no esta bien optimizado, los servidores son ree contra inestables, esto se refleja en una variacion de ping altisima que afecta a todos los jugadores, arruinando la experiencia. Y los tiempos de carga de las partidas es demasiado alto para mi gusto.

    El juego tiene demasiado desbalance, teniendo compañeros que no saben usar habilidades o enemigos demasiado experimentados. Nunca habia visto una comunidad tan toxica como en Valorant, te insultan facilmente con el minimo error y con amenazas de reportarte enves de ayudar o colaborar, esto desalienta muchisimo a seguir jugando y al juego en equipo. Inclusive es bastante normal que en el equipo que va perdiendo se desconecte al menos 1 jugador quedando en desventaja.

    Lamentablemente en este juego se pueden utilizar macros o utilizar botones de secuencia de clicks, ayudando mucho a jugadores con buenos perifericos.

    La tabla de puntuaciones creo que es algo que no esta bien implementada, recompensando y fomentando siempre a tener mas bajas enves del juego en equipo. Deberian copiar el sistema de puntuaciones de Battlefield por ejemplo que tienen mucho mejor implementado esto.

    A pesar de todo lo bueno y malo que tiene este juego, veo algo muy bueno que tiene esto y es la facilidad de crear un equipo con tus amigos para jugar, y ya eso es lo suficientemente alentador para seguir jugandolo siendo un juego que personalmente no recomendaria.

    A este juego le veo mucho futuro, si Riot sigue por buen camino y soluciona varios de sus problemas, puede llegar a ser uno de los juegos competitivos clave del futuro.

    Could be a very good game but it's horrible! hit reg and desync are outrageous. Every round you die and then you see the enemy or you shoot in the head (clearly you see and hear the bullet hitting the head) and if you are lucky you got leg reg. this game is already dead! A shooter that doesn't shoot! Surely developers are very busy making skins and sell them for 100$. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!

    However, the game is not for everybody. The gun mechanics make all of better guns have extremely high recoil and be very hard to aim. They will plague people used to the 'run and gun' fps games. Most reviews are negative because the users do not like the slow gameplay or they are bad at the game. Again, this is not a game for just anybody.
    3 bad things about Valorant:
    1. When they full released the game, it still felt very unbalanced and unfinished. It felt like the game was not yet ready to be fully released.

    2. The ranked system. The matches do not ever look at the guns and playstyle that people are using. Valorant is supposed to be a tactical 'stop and shoot' game, but newer players tend to use shotguns and the LMG's, and they think that they are amazing with the no skill 'run and gun' weapons. Riot should have a system to see how each player plays.

    3. This one is just a joke, but... Sage has an accent but Jett doesn't? WHAT?????
    They're both asian?!?!?!?!

    Overall, I think valorant is a good game, just unfinished. Also the skin prices are insannnneeeeeeee

    Their cosmetic items are way too expensive. To buy one skin on a gun is more than $20. No reason to be that expensive and it actually leads people not to play because they come off money hungry. That’s why I give it a 8. But other than that INCREDIBLE game! Great gameplay and would recommend playing it!

    The worst in-game store in online games that exists. Players who bought a set in beta are now gathering dust in the game currency. Talking about unstable servers and terrible optimization of the game does not even make sense. The game had potential, but the developers seem to regard it as a one-day project for making money.

The movement feels clunky, the economy doesn't feel impactful, although the gun play is satisfying, the randomness of the recoil pattern is really frustrating. The random recoil patterns would not be a problem, if the the randomness would be less drastic. The maps are absolutely horrible, and not fun to play. They feel incredibly cluttered, and often gives the defenders an advantage. There are way too many unnecessary angles and corners, sites that are borderline impossible to retake, and can make the player feel very claustrophobic. The agent abilities are fun to play with, but some of the abilities are a lot more overpowered, meanwhile some are severely under powered. The abilities can also create a significant amount of visual clutter, which are really distracting, and can be really frustrating a lot of times. Riot made an attempt to counter peeker's advantage, except they did an awful job at doing so. In Valorant, peeker's advantage is severely worse than most other tactical shooters. Along with the horrendous map design, and a variety of offensive abilities that can reduce, block , remove vision, and abilities that reduce movement, accuracy, and rate of fire, it makes a nightmare for who ever is being pushed/on the receiving end. Just like CS:GO, the audio engine/directional sound is also less than desirable. I often find it difficult to pin point the location of an enemy, just from their footsteps, the footsteps often sound closer than where it actually is. The directional sound is manageable, and I can get a general direction of where the footstep is coming from, left, right, in front, or behind.
    Valorant launched with 128 tick servers for all of it's game modes, which I would praise riot games for doing, except the hit registration in this game is not good. A lot of times i would see the blood splatter effect when i shoot someone, yet they would not take any damage, so hopefully that would be fixed very soon.

    Valorant is not all bad, the characters are interesting and diverse, the game has great optimization, so any computer can run it at a playable frame rate, which is amazing. The graphics do not bother me too much, because as long as the visibility is good and the colors contrast from the agents, I am happy(although the abilities do bottleneck the visibility A LOT). The HUD is clean and gives enough information, and is not overwhelming, which I really like. But overall, the negatives outweigh the positives, so I give it a 4 out of 10.

    На кого рассчитана эта игра? На фанатов CS? Я в CS играл немало, но таких поломанных клонов ещё не видел. Бездумное копирование и по большей части того, что копировать ни в коем случае не следовало.

    Дебильная система соревновательных матчей с наказанием проигравшего. Никакая экономия вас не спасёт, слились один раз, до смены команд будете бегать с пукалкой вместо оружия. Пока вы экономите, противник копит средства на компенсацию случайного поражения.

    Никакого баланса самого оружия, оператор настолько имба, что его проще удалить чем отбалансить, да и оружие убивающие с одного выстрела в тушку, таким играм не нужно ни в каком виде.

    Стрельба, в сравнении с CS, невнятная. То ты начинаешь промахиваться от малейшего неосторожного движения, то ты набегу спокойно отвешиваешь хедшоты не важно из чего. Всё оружие стреляет гвоздями, попадание прибивает противника к полу, не давая двинуться с места. При этом, прибитый, теряет возможность ответного огня из-за дёргающегося прицела при получении урона.

    Регистрация попаданий просто никакая. Мало того, что, чётко видя несколько попаданий, игра в итоге может не засчитать ни одного, так ещё и наблюдая за другим игроком можно заметить тоже самое, точные попадания и нулевую регистрацию. Это вообще как? Сервер показывает попадание, но урона всё равно нет? Терминаторы в каждой второй катке.

    Больная на голову система рангов и баланс подбора. Разброс рангов в одном матче спокойно может достигать 6 - 7 пунктов. В каждой катке есть явные лидеры и явные аутсайдеры, с огромным отрывом. Баланс между командами так же сломан. Матчи в 90% случаев заканчиваются абсолютным доминированием одной команды над другой. Полное отсутствие даже намёка на баланс.

    Баланс персонажей такой же сломанный, часть умений от класса к классу дублируется. Часть бесполезна. Некоторые работают неправильно. Сколько нужно времени чтобы понять, что завеса (стенка) Вайпер, не должна бить через всю карту и уже пофиксить это? А с Рейз и её имбовыми гранатами что-то делать будут?

    Вся эта игра, лишь жалкая попытка выехать на фанатах CS, разбавив привычную им контру новыми фишками.

    I enjoy this game immensely, but feel awful supporting it.

    It's fun, free-to-play, scratches that Counter-Strike itch, but has the most overpriced business model I've seen, despite being cosmetics only. I'm someone who doesn't mind financially supporting the games I play; in fact I love to. In other games I've spent more than a few "bundles" worth over the course of me playing them.

    I'm someone who doesn't mind financially supporting the games I play; in fact I love to. In other games I've spent more than a few "bundles" worth over the course of me playing them. However, this game is straight up greedy.

    They expect players to pay upwards of $50, $70, or $95 to buy a handful of skins. On top of that, many of these skins cost another $100 or so just to upgrade the freaking thing, which is something you'd expect included for half the original purchase price. There's a reasonably priced battlepass for $10, but be warned, it's deceptively grindy. This isn't like the battlepass in Fortnite, CoD, or any other game you've played. Each level requires ever increasing amounts of XP, with the last five out of fifty levels requiring nearly 20% of the total amount. On top of this, the battlepass has many levels simply rewarding you with "Radianite", which is the secondary currency you can only use to "evolve" certain skins that you have to pay ridiculous amounts of money for in the first place.

    Even if you decide to ignore the cosmetic purchases, you'll still have to deal with picking up some kid's ugly dragon skin because they used their parents' credit card.

    There's honestly no harm to giving the game a shot, but please don't support this garbage.

    This Vanguard anti-cheat trash was supposed to be revolutionary, but it doesn't work at all. All you can read about him are Riot's lies. Be sure you will find a cheater in every (even unranked) match.
    They don't even try to hide, they just run around knowing everything and dealing insta headshots within 360 degrees. Sometimes you shoot one in the back and immediately die because his aimbot kills you before you can fire more than once.
    In every match you will find at least one cheater who will write to you:

    - EZ
    - Git Gud
    - Go Play Fortnite
    - Hahahaha
    - Noob
    - I'm not hacking!

    Many of them are handicapped children who stream it on YouTube, although no one watches them.
    Sometimes they don't know how to play the game at all. They don't even know how to plant a (Spike) bomb, and they can lose by dragging players and trying to kill them instead of completing map objectives.

    Don't play it because you will only lose time and nerves. Without cheats, you have no chance of having fun because you will be killed by stupid unskilled cheating morons.

    Actualy Valorant is same trash as CS: GO - only for cheaters.

    2 Gameplay - What's the point in me perfecting my aim when the other dude can literally teleport behind me and kill me? What's the point of using smokes when the enemy can just see you through them?. Abilities in this game completely kill the competitiveness of the game, it just all comes down to who has better abilities. What's the point in training my aim when the opponent can just press a button and get the better of me?

    El movimiento es lento y en especial el movimiento lateral se siente como si estuvieras cargando una bola de hierra de media tonelada, el hitbox de los personajes es inconsistente y aun con las mejores armas el juego no es capaz de ser consistente con los disparos, y es fácil de verificar, solo al iniciar el juego, en el tutorial, centren el sniper con la mira zoom en la esquina de uno de los blancos, luego quiten la mira sin mover el mouse, y verán que el disparo fallara, cuando no tiene razón de ser.
    También, tiene tantas Rondas inconsecuentes, que se vuelve tedioso desde la primera partida, 13 rondas deberían ser mas que suficientes para definir una partida, pero mas de 20, es solo para hacer creer a los niños que tienen partidas substanciales y francamente no hay diferencia entre ir al ataque o defenderse, se sienten igual de sin sentido y aburrido.
    Por todas esas razones le Pongo un 1, y francamente seria 0 solo por el hecho del maldito vanguard que implementaron, bloquea el reconocimiento facial de inicio de sesion de Windows, bloquea Outlook, y cuando lo cierro para poder ver mis mails y responderlos, bloquea el touchpad y el teclado, literalmente Vanguard es una "MIERDA" sin razón de ser, ni siquiera como sistema anticheat, y el hecho de que se siga implementando demuestra que les importa un carajo los jugadores.

Hit box registration is confusing and off in several cases. More talented players are far too free to create new accounts and ruin lower ranked games. Anti-cheating measures seem to be fairly ineffective and reporting players hasn't (in my experience) really done anything to prevent toxic behavior. Also, $90 skins? This game isn't stable enough to be out of alpha. Look elsewhere for your next shooter. Expand

    Random bullet deviation should never be a part of a first person shooter that relies on accuracy of your shots, EVER. Same issue in BF1, your aim can be on point, but if RNG magically decides your bullets aren't going to hit, you're not going to hit. Imo, don't even bother with the game.

I have 1k hours in CSGO but the promise of no cheaters would never be enough to pull me into such a lifeless world. I was not expecting to be let down by riot but this is exactly what happened. The best way to fix these issues would be to add more meaningful color into the maps and to scale back these problem abilities to the original idea, which was to give each character a different flavor, not a completely different way of playing.

    Update = Updating the game can take so long, server is so bad and you will also get false info when updating the game.
    Bugs and Glitches = Game has a alot of bugs especially when the new season comes but they will fix it as soon possible, when the bugs is still on the game and haven't yet been fixed, it can destroy your gameplay, so is the same on glitches.

It is VERY reminiscent of Counter Strike in the way you gain money round to round and spend it on weapons if you die and the powerups too, which unlike Overwatch are limited use, not on respawn timers, making what, where, and when you use them during each round a lot more tactical.

    It has about 11 characters, half of which you unlock by playing the game and getting points that allow you to move up in two different tiers. One of them is a Seasonal pass type thing many of these F2P games have or like CoD’s seasons, you spend 10 bucks to upon the season and get more things. Honestly, 10 bucks seems like a pretty good value here. It also has a cashshop but doesn’t have loot boxes, you can see what you are buying and decide if it is worth it for you or not. (So far or not on the skins for the weapons)

    This game is clearly made for Esports but it’s a solid game with it’s so far only two types of play. One takes 30-45 minutes and is a first two 13 wins for a total of 25 rounds if you are neck and neck and you buy your equipment at the start of each round. The other is 10-15 and randomly gives you weapons it chooses.

    The game play is very tight and very twitchy. You have to watch your corners and this is not a bullet sponge game in the least, infact a single head shot can end you. The added timer and that one team is defending the other attacking to plant a spike (Bomb) on an A or B target or to just wipe out the other team, really keeps things going.

    Unlike Amazon games Crucible, this game, while not having many features or game types either, just FEELS better. You can tell a lot more time and effort went into the level designs, the powers of the characters, their look and graphics. It just feels good, if you are into team based shooters like Counter Strike or Overwatch. And the price is great!

    Edit: (23 of June 2022) They removed split map instead of most hated maps by community namely
    Breeze/Fracture/Bind. Lowered score further to 4

    The good part about the game is it has prettty good mechanics compared to most games, and is easy to play in short period of times like evening after work with friends.

    A above average game with good mechanics but repititive content after a certain rank/level. Yet good to kill time with friends

    Valorant is like any other lackluster meta-locked game, this time with unconventional recoil patterns and resets, combine that with clunky and slow movement. Rounds take way too long considering you start a room away from one another. You see the same characters in every game, so you're being locked into a meta.

    This is basically if an eight year old were in charge of recreating CS

    This is basically if an eight year old were in charge of recreating CS Pro Mod, or even if someone took a mobile version of R6:S and ported it to pc.

    Can we also take a second to step back and look at the fact that Riot, owned by Tencent games, a Chinese conglomerate corporation, known for working in secrecy with the Chinese Communist Govt and having data breaches in the past is installing a rootkit on your pc? How is this okay with anyone?

    Final thoughts! This game sucks, don't waste your time or the drive space because it will be unheard of in a year when the next free turd comes along and flushes this one.

    First of all, I want to mention that I have 5000+ hours on CS GO and 4 months experience in VALORANT. Yes, I think everybody agree that this game is fun. It's way better than CS GO. I will analyze the game as in competition mode. Before even launch the developers said that they want to eliminate "Peeker's Advantage" and I don't think it's possible. They tried few things but all of them just ruined the game. They decreased character movement speed. They ruined run to stop recoil. Some times my shots aren't registering due to these "fixes" but what fixed? NOTHING. They just ruined the game. There is even no spraying in the game. You started shooting in the head or you are dead in this game. I will just list the rest of it or this review will be boring.
    * There are too much corners in maps which makes harder to 1v5
    * Operator(Awp) is too strong in the game. It's so hard to counter them with agents don't have smoke or flash.
    * Optimization is so bad. I usually get 200+ frames while nothings going on. Then 5 attackers pop to site with bunch of skills then it's around 80 frames.
    * Spray transfer is just a luck.
    * We are forced to play this game 16:9. Changing it to 4:3 doesn't stretch characters. Only UI.
    * Queue times are so long. You can't find a game when you are 5 pre and immortal+ rank less then 15 minutes.
    * Sounds are a joke. You hear the enemy in front of you then he just appears from the other directions.
    * Many more...
    In a nut shell, it's a fun game but it can't compete with Cs go. Except they fix those issues

    This game feels like playing with a nerf gun. The mechanics are a straight ripoff from CS: GO. Shooting feels like shooting a nerf gun because the recoil is almost nonexistent in this game.

I hate this game because it is owned by Riot Games which is owned by Tencent which is a Chinese company that buys videogames companies and makes the game worse, most of their mobile games are chock full of mobile transactions and they are notorious for stealing data. The sound effects sound like shooting a nerf gun and the game is very unrealistic. The only difference between this game and CS: GO is that they wanted to make money that's why they renamed the "C4" the "Spike" so companies to sponsor this game . Expand

    The main selling point for Valorant is the revolutionary anti-cheat system, which promises a cheater free enviornment for players. It works by accessing your process list and it sees everything that goes on in your system, but sadly the anti-cheat doesn't work, as there are plenty of cheaters in the game to ruin your experience.

It works by accessing your process list and it sees everything that goes on in your system, but sadly the anti-cheat doesn't work, as there are plenty of cheaters in the game to ruin your experience. If the anti-cheat blatantly doesn't work, then it can mean only one thing: Tencent is collecting and selling your personal information. The game it self is a cheap and poor ripoff from Counter Strike and Overwatch with a very cartoonish design, trying to mash two popular games into one big mess, minus all the good things the original games had, such as; recoil control, fast paced gameplay, competitive element and various dynamics of gameplay. The hitboxes must be the worst in FPS history. There are only two hitboxes, head and everything else. Combine that with terrible weapon balance, no recoil and you get the ability to cheese through enemies with couple of shots. It takes 0 skill to kill in this game. Even pistols feel like sniper rifles at range, just like every other weapon. No penalty for weapons in various ranges. Even COD which is considered to be the king of casual FPS has range penalties, this game apparently does not. The map design is terrible, it's clear the devs stole few map design concepts from CS and somehow made it worse. There is no strategy available in maps, just rush one or the other point, there are no alternatives. Character and skill design is the worst part of this game. They bring no utility to this game. Shooting skills through walls, ice wall and smoke an area every time, consider how both teams can do this. In the end you get a clunky mess on your screen, often wondering what in the world is going on until you get killed through the smoke by pre-fires in 3 shots. Even when you're dominating few games with positive K/D/A it doesn't feel rewarding, there is no incentive to make plays or clutches as you know you'll be killed in 3 shots by someone blindfolded pre-firing a corner. Take CS in comparison, you can do 1v5 clutches based on jukes, aim, enemy aim, smokes, flashes, rotation and still come on top victorious because the map design allows you various approaches to situations. You'll never see that in Valorant, because the game is bad and those playing it should feel bad. In a nutshell, Valorant is a poor attempt to make competitive FPS casual, at which Riot failed miserably. This game will die once the hype around it disappears. 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.
