    The balance of the characters don't exist, Riot is famous for doing unbalanced games but that is just so bad in this game that just let it horrible. I feel bad when I win just because I have a retarded character to play and I'm just using it to overcome the enemies, and when an enemy pick Phoenix and just press one button to do a lot of damage and blind you up even when you're not looking at his blind ability, the guns are strange because stinger, that is a cheap gun, is extremely more OP than Odin or Vandal.

    The characters are boring and not memorable, just Cypher, Sova and Raze have distiguish skills, and the other are just spherical or line blind/damage skills, even the new character is just shooting and spamming skills all over.

    It would be quite fun if it wasnt for the fact that any solo queue experience - ranked or not is akin to stabbing yourself in the eyeball with an aids ridden rusty fork. It is more toxic than any experience one might have in League at any point - not even joking. So stay FAR FAR away unless you have an entire squad or are into ultra hardcore bdsm.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A shameless CS clone built with Overwatch elements with none of the charm of either game. Firstly, the game's gun mechanics are a mess. It claims to have learnable recoil patterns like CSGO, but in reality, they have deliberately coded random spray alongside it. What this means is that even if you learn each gun and have good aim, if you engage someone a medium distance away, you run the risk of missing a few of those crucial shots , resulting in your death and you opponent walking off with a tiny bit of hp. Skill doesn't matter with RNG. Second, the gun damage values don't always fully register. For example, the Vandal & Guardian both deal 150+ dmg to the head at all ranges, which is an insta kill. There have been times when you score a headshot, but the enemy randomly receives 145-149 dmg, leading to you dying when you clearly fired a fatal shot. Thirdly, i hardly believe the developers have learnt of the word "balancing'. And last but certainly not the least, is the game's cheating saga. The anti cheat is an absolute joke. I have played enough to safely say that 6 out of 10 matches had at least 1 blatant cheater in them, with me encountering the same player multiple times, weeks after mass reporting. Honestly, the game's only saving point is the fact that it is free, because if it wasn't, you would be essentially paying to have a stressful experience which majority of the times will leave you angry, frustrated and wishing you were playing something else.

It is a CSGO- Chinese rip-off with an overwatch gimmick to it with the abilities. The fact that its made by Tencent Games (A CHINESE **** COMPANY) doesn't **** help anything. I thought it was crazy that people gave this game a 0 but I totally understand. The art style is bland, the maps are garbage, the heroes and weapons are unbalanced, everything is horrible. The core gameplay is sometimes intersting and has some strength to it, but for the most part its just you getting OPed by garbage Jetts with no skill. It doesnt help the maps dont counter with the gameplay. Due to the fact that the movement is quite slower than CSGO doesnt help that you can not counter some of the guns in this game. Its a cluster **** with **** patches and updates by the company THAT MADE OF LEAGUE OF LEGENDS. I dont understand how a company with the competence of creating an esports and game to the level of LoL (the greatest esports ever) could slip on a **** bannana so hard. Its a shame because the devs themselves are actually nice and try to help but they are so **** belligerent that on one of their patches they gave cheats to THE ENTIRE GAME. This happened on the first patch of the game and its such a cluster**** that I cant comprehend to the point how bad some of this **** is. The advertised this game with a vision to destroy peekers advantage and cheats, but the MAIN PROBLEMS OF THE GAME ARE THE FEATURES THEY VOWED TO TAKE OUT. CSGO still has a less stable peekers advantage and that **** is made by Valve who never update the game (even if they are a god tier company). What else do I have to say? The skins are overpriced af to a point where Id rather **** buy renegade on Fortnut. Theres such a disconnect with most of these TRIPLE AAA games with their consumers thats its astounding that most people dont just say **** it and only buy indie games. Now at the moment, the biggest problem is the op, but we've already discussed that issue. Now, to Killjoy, or should I say kills the joy out of the game. Her abilities for the most part are balanced (for riots sake) but the GOD. DAMN. MOLLIES. They take less skill to adhere to than **** Raze's abilities. Ninja can **** get kills. This is the same cesspool homo sapien who danced on front of the stage to millions with no one dancing with him. I recently did an experiment on Valorant who played the game on what they thought of the game. Hey, rainbow started off bad, CSGO started off bad, but atleast your consumers dont rate this game out of 10 with a "penis out of 10". Ive seen more composure and professionalism from companies who are OP-erated by one **** person. It's literally more simplistic than CSGO while still being annoying and sucking up to noob players. The fact that the critics review is on such a disconnect to the users review really shows that you should never trust critics on a game. If this game has a close metacritic to some top dog games like **** RDR2 than you know the critics are **** senile. The fact I've wrote this far shows how **** annoying this game. A somewhat good community with some retarded ones (im looking at you dumbass who ops in deathmatch). Theres no counter to how long Ive played this game but I know Ive played this game for more than 200 hours, and Im honestly sick of all this bs. I like competitive games and it was **** interesting around beta and launch (even when riot ****ed up wow once again! with the launch of the game without comp). This game should really learn from the top of the top games like CSGO, R6, AND I HATE TO SAY THIS--Overwatch. Overwatch is in an absolute dog**** state, but when they first started, they game was relatively good. I cant say the same thing about valorant. Now, im not even near done with this game. The audio in this sound sucks more dick than Mia Khalifa in 2014. The audio is extremely inconsistent as it spans from sound thats too far away sounding like its very close, or the sound that's close not coming up. Not only that, these **** agents must have the thiccest of cheeks but they **** stomp around every **** time they move. Like damn, why are the footsteps so loud. Im actually getting pissed that the limit IS 5000 WORDS. I still HAVE SO MUCH **** TO TALK ABOUT. ITS INSANE. This game has literally ****ed my mind so hard that im writing a 5000 character review at 3 am. Thia game has so much potential but Riot ****s up everything they do. Its not a surprise theyre **** neanderthals when their parent company is TENCENT. This review has pissed me off so much that im on my last 3 brain cells at this point. I dont even know what im talking about anymore but im going to reach the limit just to show Riot games. Riot, my horrible friend, my **** special ed forced friend, please fix this game IMMEDIATELY. Id rather PLAY Fallout 76. Remember Riot, ABILITIES DONT KILL MY **** DUMBASS Expand

    Okay, this is going to be a good review now that the game has been out for quite some time. Yes, it is a very low review but it's coming from someone who has played FPS games for a very long time including a lot of hours into Counter Strike and Rainbow Six Siege.

    First we're going to talk about game play. So most of the time, the hit registration is very good. But it is VERY inconsistent. Some days it feels like I'm tapping heads all day (I'm a diamond player) but other days I can only seem to hit the body. Now I know that could be just me but I'm not the only one that experiences it.
    The OP. I could write this whole review on how terribly over powered the Operator is in this game despite it being extremely similar to the AWP in CS:GO. So there's so much controversy in the Op from the casual community to the pros. It simply doesn't belong in a game like this. There's simply not enough counters to it. In CS:GO, each player can have 2 flashes, a smoke and grenade. That is enough utility to properly counter any good AWPer. Now, if they balance the Scout a tiny bit, it would be all the game needed. I'm talking, increased body damage to 125 (so it one shots everyone that didn't buy heavy armor), keep one shot head shot, little slower reload time, and raise the price a bit. That would be the most balanced sniper and only sniper they would need in the game.
    Now the wall bangs. Almost EVERYTHING is a wall bang spot. There's no safe cover for you to go in if you need help and that's a big miss in my opinion. If you back off as you're low on health, there's a good chance you're going to get wall banged.
    There's no coverage for crouching either. Every box in the game is made to be taller than player height. There's no crouch peeking and you have to fully expose your body in every gun fight. Now this sounds like a good thing but it really isn't. If someone has a better spot on you and the only thing you can do is try to challenge, you're probably going to lose. If they have a vertical advantage on you, you're probably going to lose. It's not a good map design.

    Secondly, I'm going to talk about the maps. The absolutely worst maps in any game I have ever played. There's a video on it that goes by the name of, "The real reason why Valorant isn't as fun as CS:GO". It's a very interesting video coming from a map designer. I'm no map designer but I can tell you the maps are very terribly made and it looks like the Riot map design team is VERY new to FPS's. The maps are extremely cluttered and have a TON of corners for people to sit in. You have to clear close to 10 corners on most sites just to get on the site cause defending team can be in any of them. It's awful and makes the game super boring. The lanes in the game are also super tight and gives the feel of having no freedom when roaming them. I mentioned the terrible lack of coverage in the maps so that's all I'm going to touch base on, but please, go watch the video and you'll understand more.

    Lastly, the Agents. The Agents have such a good idea to them but they are executed so poorly and, well, very rushed it seems. I'm going to compare the operators in Valorant with Rainbow Six as I don't have much knowledge on Overwatch. So Rainbow Six has 57 operators currently at the time of writing this. Now most IF not all operators have a counter in that game. In Valorant it's the complete opposite. There's no one to counter anyone in the game and it's quite sad. You could argue that maybe raze can counter Cypher or killjoy with her grenades but that's still quite risky at times. Now lets talk about Killjoy, which is a very relevant name for her as she LITERALLY kills the joy of the game. Riot decided it was a great idea to put a turret ability in the game. Now the turret doesn't hit hard. But it's basically making it so you have to clear the corner that the turret is in and the moment you do that, the opposing player peaks. Now I understand that you could just "play for the trade" but you have to remember, most of the player base is playing solo and won't have proper team communication or chemistry therefore making it hard to counter something like that.
    Sage, sage was amazing. She was the only healer and was pretty much necessary in every match. But now that she has been nerfed. She's useless. She barely heals and her wall is weak and unreliable now.
    The abilities in the game are just a joke in general. Like i mentioned earlier, there's really no proper counters to anyone or anything. for example, the molly's. In CS:GO, you can throw a smoke and put the molly's out. You can't do that in Valorant. Therefore it makes characters like Brimstone super overpowered post plant.
    Riot is doing exactly what they did with League of Legends. Nerfing operators without thinking about what it's going to do to the game.

    This is an otherwise good game that is ruined by smurfing/multi-accounting, griefing, throwing, and toxic players.

    I've put around 100 hours into the game, have unlocked all the agents, and just can't play it any more.

    The ranking system in competitive games should lead to evenly-matched teams. In practice, because so many players are running multiple accounts, it's very common to have a low-ranked smurfing player dominate the game. It makes no sense for Riot to make a game that uses a ranking system and then combine that with lax enforcement of multiple accounts. It just becomes an invitation to abuse the system, and lots of players do it.

    The ranking system is further abused by players deliberately throwing games. They play badly or, more commonly, convince other team members to surrender even when winning. That way they get to play a few good rounds and dominate, but lower their rank so they can smurf the next game too.

    Toxic players are very common. Because the game is team-based, and teams rely on communication (text and voice), having toxic players on your own team dominating the chat wrecks the game. Sure you can mute them, and apparently Riot uses muting to punish toxic players who get reported, but then it damages your team's ability to compete.

    Toxicity is exacerbated by giving agents the abilities that can damage teammates. Phoenix's fire, Raze's grenades, Sova's arrows, etc - they can all damage players on your own team. So when toxic infighting gets out of hand, players use their abilities to damage each other.

    On top of that, the game relies on your team planting a spike. But the spike can be grabbed by a toxic player wanting to wreck/throw the game for their teammates, forcing their own team to lose.

    The game has a reporting function, but judging by the ongoing issues with toxicity etc, it seems not to be taken seriously by Riot. And since they don't enforce rules against multi-accounting, it's easy enough for a reported player to start a new account and begin the whole toxic cycle all over again.

    I'm honestly confounded why a company like Riot would put so much energy into creating such a sophisticated game, and then leave it open to so many different kinds of abuse.

    To fix this games, Riot needs to:

    1) stop griefing by taking away abilities that damage teammates
    2) enforce hard rules against multi-accounting to prevent smurfing and add weight to penalties/bans
    3) make the spike un-carryable by players who have been reported by teammates
    4) take reporting seriously and ban players who are consistently reported
    5) fix the surrender function in terms of ranking so that it doesn't benefit a winning team to surrender

For example, abilities negate or diminish hard fought map control or positional advantages via abilities such as teleports, healing, seeing through walls/spy cam etc.

    Speaking of maps, they are absolutely terrible as most reviews pointed out. Mostly because of the narrow corridors, exceedingly high number of corners to check, and multiple paths solely used for rotation between sites. It seems that a more open map design is not compatible with the gameplay as it would encourage the players to forego the abilities in favor of straight gunfights. Agent balance, while always a moving target, is already an issue with clear must-picks for serious play. The graphics including the overall art direction and character design is atrocious and honestly straight up cringey. One of the least visually appealing titles of the past few years.

    Finally RNG gun spray pattern, below average optimization, and ineffective yet extremely invasive anti-cheat round out this embarrassing package of an fps game. Take your time and money elsewhere.

    Put in a few hundred hours on the beta and realized I am going back to CS Go and Overwatch. There is some okay depth, but I just never really wanted to come back to it because it didn’t feel right. The launch was a disaster, too. I’d give it another shot if they did MAJOR rework.

    Had high hopes considering this is Riot. Yeesh.

On top of all of this you feel SUPER slow for the pace of the abilities. I always feel like my skills are going to waste because some trash player can sit in a corner and just wait without really being able to clear the angle unless you are 2 or 3 of the characters. If I had fun **** on bad player I would play this game though. mid to long range duels favor the better aimer and it is hilarious how many non-CS players think me and my group of friends are cheating. I actually think anyone above DMG in CS will get reported at least once a game. Game is too easy and overall needs to be sped up. It will interesting to see how they change it in the next 12 months.

After a lengthy stint with customer support, I've finally got a response that is worthy of sharing. They aren't supporting 32:9 aspect ratio monitors, nor 21:9. Now this wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't massively hypocritical. I personally have a 32:9 screen and I have to deal with enormous black bars to play. I can't use that space for anything else, the game just eats 1/2 my screen. Now the reason that's hypocritical is that they are supporting a differentiation in refresh rate. So the perceived advantage that I'm receiving is considered "undesirable" however people who have high refresh rate screens whom have a colossal advantage over those who just have 60hz screens is fine... there's a double standard there that is indicative of a development team that have no idea what they're doing.
    It's one thing to try and create a fair environment for players. It's another to alienate a portion of a community just for having a certain type of monitor. If they were truly trying to create a fair environment they would have to follow these steps as well:
    1. anyone with more than 30ms on ping should immediately be kicked as it creates an unfair playing experience for those who have good ping. (peeker's advantage gets worse )
    2. anyone who has a screen with a refresh rate higher than 60 should have they framerate capped. Other wise there would be an advantage for the person with the higher refresh rate screen.
    3. anyone playing with a DPI/sens value over 1600 should be unable to play as having an input speed that fast is disadvantageous. this is not debunk-able. It's fact.
    4. Anyone with no mic should not be able to play the game as being unable to communicate with your teammates would create an unfair playing environment for your teammates.
    5. Anyone who's total input time is over 50ms from click to frame should also be unable to play as it's not conducive to a fair environment if you get a team mate using an old ball mouse that's wireless on a TV.
    6. Anyone who has done any colour correction to the screen's image should be banned as they are exploiting the games colour palette to gain an advantage against those in low light/make people clearer than they are. (Because we have to be fair here, so screw colour blind people)
    7. Anyone caught rebinding keys should be immediately be banned for cheating as creating a more ergonomic environment for one player than the other would make the game "unfair".

    this list is by no means exhaustive. there are plenty more things you could add that create an "unfair" environment. So to say that "having an ultra-wide or super ultra-wide is considered an unfair advantage" you must necessarily accept everything above as the truth as well. There is a reason that counter-strike allows for any monitor resolution. It's because some people want to play games. they don't want to compete. I'd say that that is infact the majority. I bought my monitor as I'm a programmer and the extra space is very useful. Why am I being punished for a choice that is entirely unrelated to the game.
    As a hilarious aside. League of Legends, the other game riot makes, supports ultra wide and super-ultra wides. This means that in league I can see almost from nexus to lane if I'm on the top side or bottom side of the map. So within the same company, there's an obvious hypocrisy.

    I will not be playing this game as there's a clear lack of intelligence from the development team and it's obvious that all they were doing when they made their initial announcement was using buzz words to bait the ill informed into playing the game. Saying "tick-rate' doesn't mean that the designers are smart or care about the player's experience. This review should be more than enough to prove that they indeed do not care.
    I could go into the fact that the shooting mechanics are silly, for example: having randomized wiggle on a spray pattern after 5 shots is ridiculous. But I shall leave that here. Suffice to say that Escape from Tarkov will remain my main game along side Counter Strike. the game is broken and the developers are legitimately bad at making games.

    You're literally aiming at your feet before your RNG bullets hit heads.

    I know it's a CS copy, but I just don't remember the accuracy/random bullet spread in CS being this toxic?

    There is the very valid argument that you can learn the recoil of the weapons - making it skill based.
    Which is great... but all of your natural aiming instincts will be completely overwritten by the stupidity of this RNG aim system they've seemingly adopted.

    Again... if you enjoy milsims or shooting in real life - do not bother with this game.
    ___
    Generally, the experience and atmosphere of the game is casual and relaxed.
    The player base is generally friendly and helpful - especially if you tell them you're new or want to learn.

    The character's abilities are a little odd, and a little too similar.

    But if you enjoy listening to music while you play, and want a FPS that's a bit more relaxed with the same competitive spirit as CS then this might be for you.

    Just enjoy dragging your mouse down as you try and guess where the next bullet is going to land.

    The game does not feel up to par to other fps out there. It is clunky, slow, the aim must be improved and the fact that your character gets slowed when hit makes it harder to walk side to side and try to deflect.
    The skills are a nice add but if they're not granades, they're not important.
    There are better fps out there, Valorant has gotta improve to compete with those.

And I didn't even mention the glaring flaws of the game (the anti-cheat, the absolute garbage monetization, server/performance issues, just to name a few). They tried mashing popular ideas together, but it doesn't work that well imo (whether it is because of the execution or the idea).

    Maps feel more close to something you see in CS Source. Just twisting corridors leading to a bomb site. Zero complexity. Honestly it worse then source since game has to eliminate almost all sight lines to give you any reason to use the hero powers. So not only is it uninspired, but intentionally designed poorly. Candle on the cake is essentially every map is exactly the same.

    Guns are pretty bad, which only a handful which play only slightly different from one another.

    Game Modes is where Valorant fails the hardest. You have option of either Competitive, or slightly less competitive. I generally enjoy CS games but even I can only play so many competitive matches before I just want to relax with a gun game or a tdm. Your given no such option, you are expected to play the same mode, same map, same gun, on the same hero that require **** map design just to justify their existance over and over again.

    So while I find fun in the game, it clear to me doing same thing over and over will turn stale very quickly. So think ill end my Valorant journey here.

The guns aren't balanced at all in my opinion, rifles are fine but pistols and smgs feel very out of place and pretty lackluster. The maps are not good either, mostly due to the 50/50 peaks that the developers seem to love. Lots of random cubbies to hide in, abilities can only cover so many angles. They have changed up the maps but atleast in the case of split it went from heavily CT sided to heavily T sided and in general the big updates always seem a bit heavy handed. I don't really know where they're going with this game due to the updates changing things quite a bit. The agents are pretty cool, lots of different abilities and play styles but I almost feel forced to play a certain way due to the fact that the developers want it to be very team based, which is great when it works but easily one of the most frustrating and boring games to play when it doesn't. Without a competent team, having a good time is completely random. Solo queuing especially in ranked just feels terrible, and apparently that's by design as the developers want people to queue with people and 5 stack. If you don't have any friends to play with, this game will probably be frustrating to play.

    Overall, the game feels very unpolished. It's getting there but I was very disappointed when they announced the full release as I don't think the game is ready. Map design, gun balance, and ability balance are the biggest issues they need to tackle aside from people's critique of performance and the anti cheat. If you're looking for a new fps to try this one may be fun but it definitely isn't finished and there may be things you dislike that I didn't mention in my review.

    From the day brax was signed as the first professional and beta was out, I knew what this game would turn out to be. It got overhyped as the next mega release simply based on its Twitch viewers (and the fact it comes from Riot), 98% of which were AFKing streams or watching them for a drop to try a game that would ultimately end up being disappointing both in the earliest stages of the beta and after the actual release.
    A ton of streamers used Valorant as an opportunity to revive their long dead channels, which actually worked out for most of them for the time being, and now they're back into obscurity again.
    A ton of North American CS:GO pros also moved to this game because the NA CS scene is marginally smaller than the EU scene. The NA scene, while smaller, is easier to break through and enter the international scene through, where NA teams would historically get smashed by EU teams because they are a joke along with all of their players, simply because they don't work hard enough and well enough, which brings them onto the Valorant scene that they are aware is a one-time cash grab that will probably send them into obscurity in a couple of months.
    I don't see a world where anyone is moving to Valorant because the game is more fun or more competitive than CS:GO, because that world does not exist.

    Why?

    Valorant was indirectly presented to us as this CS:GO killer, and coming from the Daddy Riot, everyone expected everything to be true and more.
    The first Project A teaser cleverly outlined the biggest issues with CS (low tickrate servers, peeker's advantage, and most notably the anti-cheat system), and they were so sure that they'll manage to release a game without any of these issues, especially the anti-cheat, that they even mentioned several times that wallbanging every surface is highly encouraged because they were so 100% sure that cheating in their game will be impossible. They were almost taunting the cheaters, but little did they know.
    As it turns out, a few days into the closed beta almost every single game was riddled with wall or aim hackers, both closet and blatant, and it's like that to this very day. Peekers advantage was worse than in your average Chinese free to play first person shooter game with a half-naked woman on its logo, while their so-called 128 tick servers felt worse to play in than playing a CS:GO 64 tick matchmaking server on 80 ping.
    Some of the abovementioned things got finetuned in the process, but it still feels like a game that shouldn't have been released in 2020 because of how unfinished it feels.
    And I don't even wanna get started on the gunplay and abilities. The hitboxes are awful, most guns (and especially snipers) feel very clunky, the skill floor is very high because you don't need to counter strafe to regain full accuracy, and the skill ceiling with guns is very low since the abilities, which are said to be "complementary" to the gunfights, give you huge advantages in gunfights, and on the highest level you'll rarely have a fair 1v1 aim duel without someone throwing something your way. which ends up making you feel like everything has been rushed and is clunky.

    All in all, many fans of many games expected this game to be a good experience that they could fall back on (or even fully move to) once they get disappointed by their main game. But this game turned out to be the biggest joke of a release in recent memory, and while Riot is definitely gonna improve a thing or two, this game in its core was dead before it was released and that's sad.

Unfortunately, Riot Vanguard, the anti-cheat software Valorant utilizes, is for a lack of a better word, a root kit. I've played since the beta with not many problems, but once the game released on the 2nd and I played for one night, Vanguard reared it's ugly head.

    Since you need to restart your PC if you disable Vanguard after playing (it stays on whether you are playing or not) I did so the next day, hoping I could continue to play the game. Well, Vanguard uses a kernel-level driver that boots up right as your PC does, which is already pretty alarming, but I figure I'll allow it as long as it doesn't mess with my PC, right? My computer proceeds to hang up on boot, refusing to move past the first screen. This makes me force a shut down via the power button, and rebooting. PC boots up fine now, but what's this? Vanguard failed to initialize at boot, meaning I can't even play Valorant if I wanted to! 3 re installs and no fix. Either my PC disregards Vanguard and boots normally, or Vanguard tries to load and bugs out, freezing my computer in the process. Good thing I just spent money on the game the day before in good faith, silly me! It's been 24hrs and Riot has of course not gotten back to me whatsoever, I'd like to mention.

    My story is just the start. This software has been reported to brick PCs, block vital software from PC manufactures, make systems run abnormally hot, etc. Just take a quick look into this Riot Vanguard and see for your self. In short, Vanguard is an unnecessarily intrusive piece of mal-ware that has spoiled the game for me, and thus the review. The 1 is because I think the game is fun, the rest of the rating is because I cannot play the game due to Riot Vanguard. Instead of listing the pros and cons of the actual game and giving an overall positive review, I'd rather warn potential consumers of the stunts Riot are trying to pull to battle "hackers" and "cheaters". Admirable, but when your genuine customers start being punished by said anti-cheat is where I draw the line. Stay away from this game for now if you value your PC. If they ever put a leash on this borderline virus, I'll come back and maybe be able to recommend this to you. Thanks for reading.

So to finally feel challenged at a PC fps and understand what the **** i'm looking at when i jump in, I like it and hope riot listens to the people who aren't hating on it because of their toxic relationship with league of legends.

The guns sound feels lackluster (Yes, even the prime collection which you need to pay 70USD to get) 2. Gunplay is meh, the randomness of the spray is too large, headshot sounds doesn't feel

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Being a core cs go player since 1.6 and a casual player of overwatch all i have to say is that the game was made by taking the bad things from cs and ow. These two games can't have a baby !! It's a bad colab of games. So let me get started :D
    To be honest i've been playing since closed beta and i am not a kid crying at rito BUT hell this game is pure trash.
    Firstly they made 128 tick servers, yes that's perfect BUT THE GAME IS LAGIER THAN A CS GO 64 TICK SERVER !!!! I mean people have only 144 fps plus only on rtx 2070s ? like what the heck.....
    Secondly poor balance on the agents !!!
    Thirdly and that's actual fact. BAD MAP DESIGN ! Just because they picked up a map designer that made cs maps doesnt mean it will work for them. Plus some layouts are copied from cs maps into valorant's world.
    Last one. WHY DO YOU WANT 50-100 EUROS FOR A SET OF 3 SKINS ? RIOT what is that ? I know you guys wonna make money but god damn ! I prefer to give my money to gaben over on cs than this game....

    P.S : Vanguard is more of a joke vs vac and that's facts

    They focused on low ping and f*** up networking, made abusive anticheat which doesn't stop cheat and rushed to release a game full of bugs.

    The gun changes from CS:GO don't make the game better or more enjoyable. There was no reason to mess with those, and instead of going to the EZ route, they the random recoil after initial burst is just a dumb idea.

    While the new agent artwork is cooler, it still pales in comparison to Overwatch. I frequently forget the agent's names, even though there aren't that many. These characters have the personality of a wet piece of cardboard that's stuck to the wall.

    The abilities are goofy. Some get it right, and others are useless. I don't even know what to say, other than Riot should have released this beta at the end of the summer after a ton more balancing and internal playtesting.

    What's the absolute WORST thing about this game? The server infrastructure is garbage. This seems limited to Valorant (not League), and it's not a good first impression. If I have 20ms, I get a ton of kills. If it's 70ms or more, I get peeked and I'm dead before I can fire back. I've never played a game with this amount of peeker's advantage, and it's just not fun. I get it, it's a free game, and this is probably a partially-funded experiment for them, but they're not growing to grow the base with these issues. I'm glad they're waiting to re-release competitive mode, and perhaps they know of the RTT ping issues to certain parts of the country. Again, I think this is limited to whatever they chose for Valorant, because my friends and I just don't have high ping in other games.

    On top of that they added a new feature since the beta - now the game can only detect one of my screens and nomatter what I do, I can only play on my secondary monitor if I move the window there... Pathetic.

    If the gunplay felt nice, this game could have been fun. But ultimately, Im not going to waste 45 minutes of my life playing a game that has nothing to do with your aim or performance. One match you can shoot at someones foot and make a headshot right away - next match you shoot someone in the face 5 times since you can only see his head. Then you die and the damage report shows that you hit him 1 times in the foot and he shoot you 4 times in the chest and 2 in the head.

    Nice try Riot - but announcing the game, talking about how netcode, tickrate and consistency in aiming and gunplay is the key factors to your game - when you deliver this kind of random **** Comeon.

    Gunplay in this game is some of the best I've ever seen. There's some issues with hitreg but they are fixable. Abilities also feel relatively balanced (except sage and Jett). They provide a fun dynamic to the game and reward communication from the agent select screen by giving benefits to balances compositions.

    Graphics are intentionally kinda crappy. Graphics aren't the focus of the game, so they were made to make for the best possible visibility in gun fights, and to allow the game to run on potatoes. Most of the reviews complaining about this don't seem to get this.

    Launch has had some issues but as with any new game it is going to have issues. Being a fan of Bethesda games, I can say this launch of nothing compared to some games when it comes to bugs.

    I have a few other minor complains like skin prices being a bit high and the maps not being great quite yet, but it's a really fun game that personally turned me off csgo because the game does the formula better. Right now I'd rate the game around a 9.

    This game is so bad. it feels and looks like a mobile CSGO ripoff. it's slow and boring, repetitive and every single map is so claustrophobic it's uncomfortable to play.
    The only reason this had any players is because of the hype on twitch. and thats it.
    I literally play games for most of my life and its rare that I come a cross a game that is this garbage. When I was playing it in beta

    When I was playing it in beta I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt "maybe if I play for long enough I will like it more", I was very wrong. Every mathc feels the same, it's nothing but repetitive corner peeking. It's such a lazy game, just threw together some of CSGO, some Overwathch and a bit of Paladins and they call it a **** game... First thing Riot should do is fire all of their map designers, for me personally maps are the biggest issue and its one of the many things that make this game boring as hell. It's clear that the people who made these maps never made a map in their life. If I could give this game less than 0 I would do it in a second.

    Кривые анимации. Хреновый звук стрельбы. Графика телефонной игры 2015 года. Подбор игроков просто поражает! В каждой игре есть 1-2 человека в команде которые просто всех рвут и смысл вообще тогда играть? бегать как бот? Анти чит который блокирует всё что угодно на компьютере но кроме самих читеров!Кривые анимации. Хреновый звук стрельбы. Графика телефонной игры 2015 года. Подбор игроков просто поражает!

    The game is very slow, boring and bland. There is no emotion in the gameplay, the maps are very clostrophobic and with many strange angles. VALORANT is just another bland fps, I can't recommend the game

    I was one of the people who got the beta day 1, my mistake was playing the game non-stop that week, because the fun just like the hype of this game die really really fast, just like CS the game becomes too repetitive and boring REALLY BORING, guns actually felt boring. After this new update is obvious the game won't get better, and adding different colorful characters (this is a plus.)I was one of the people who got the beta day 1, my mistake was playing the game non-stop that week, because the fun just like the hype of this game die really really fast, just like CS the game becomes too repetitive and boring REALLY BORING, guns actually felt boring. After this new update is obvious the game won't get better, and adding different colorful characters (this is a plus.) won't help that much. I am also concern in the near future when they release new characters, it is bound to happen that one character's ability will break the game, and that will be the last string of a "tactical competitive true fps" TL DR, it's not worth to install a potential breach of your privacy because of this game, in reality you aren't losing anything, matter fact you keeping your privacy 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.
