The sheer amount of ways you can figure out to win the round is really interesting and adds a new spin to the tactical FPS shooter genre, which was a much needed coat of paint. But the maps are VERY plain and stale. They get old so fast, especially with games that could last up to 21 rounds, and they feel lifeless. You need color, atmosphere, and design to make a great map, but Valorant doesn’t check off any of those boxes. It’s actually kind of pathetic for a developer like Riot to create something so mediocre. Speaking of Riot, why do they have to make their own separate program to play the game on. It’s 2020, either put the damn game on Steam or Epic Games. Also I know this is over now but it was really dumb. The beta. Oh my god I have never seen such an awful way to do a beta. You had to watch twitch streams for ever to get a key. I think it was kind of dumb on a business standpoint because you are deterring people from playing your game. All in all it’s a fun game, but a bland one at that.… Expand

    It’s honestly just really really boring there’s not much really special about it. People say it’s like overwatch and cs, I would also add rainbow six into the mix because it’s more tactical and it would work if it was more balanced and overall just more interesting it’s quite boring and there’s not much really special about it.

    The gameplay is okay at best.
    The map selection is poor (it's just released, I know) and some maps are just completely one sided.
    Major downside, kernel level anti cheat system, I hope this catches and people see it as a bad thing at last.

    I really really wanted to LOVE valorant, for i am looking for a game that is like CSGO, but isn't CSGO.

    Well... sadly, Riots game is not that. I have been reinforced in my believes, that abilities have no place in shooters, not to mention in defusal game modes, especially when said abilities replace utility, leaving some characters without the tools to deal with a specific situation,    I really really wanted to LOVE valorant, for i am looking for a game that is like CSGO, but isn't CSGO.

    Well... sadly, Riots game is not that. I have been reinforced in my believes, that abilities have no place in shooters, not to mention in defusal game modes, especially when said abilities replace utility, leaving some characters without the tools to deal with a specific situation, while others have such a strong toolkit, that its outright unfair, which defeats the competitive point, imo.
    You have a guy like Cipher, who can lock down a site on his own from safe distance or brimstone & Reyna, who jsut throw their flashes THROUGH walls, but then there is Jett, who can put down three 7seconds smokes, dash once and maybe use the one and the other funny angle.
    "Smokes i hear you say, so she isn't useless?" Well, if its smokes you want, just grab a brimstone. Unlike Jett, he doesnt need to position his smokes in actual gameplay, he does it via a hud, that allows him to cover even the far side of a site from safe distance, they fall through roofs and a placecd by the click of a button. They also last way longer than jetts.
    A lot more useful.
    Before moving on to a different topic, i just want to give a special mention to Raze... the character, that has a freaking Noobtube as an ultimate and grenades, that just outright kill you, if you try to facetank them. Why is this bad? Because it removes a very interesting decision from the game: Do i want to facetank this nade and not flinch, so they think this corner is clear, or do i run and not take damage, but give up my position? There is just no choice here.

    Anyway, moving on. The fact that both teams have access to all weapons in the buy menu is also boring, imo. In cs you have this nice tradeoff: CT have overall more precise weapons, T have very good first shot accuracy and high dmg weapons. Spraypatterns in valorant? Forget it. There is a pattern for the first couple of shots and then they become random, so transitioning your spray to a new target is a gamble. The hitboxes seem off.

    The worst part of the game however are the maps. They are so clean and tidy and Riot seem to have put so insanely much thought into pre-defining the angles players are supposed to hold, that there is just no room for discovering new stuff. You can barely switch anything up on a site, hold it from a different position or whatever, which not only is because of the mapdesign, but also because of the abilities.
    I think they first created a very, VERY raw layout of the map, and when they noticed "hey, this is an angle we dont want", instead of redesigning the entire place, they just simply slapped a wall there.
    The result is, that the maps are not only tidy and blant looking, but at the same time feel super confined. The fact that we have spawn walls and the first engagements can happen after like 2 seconds into a round, doesnt help either.
    When they designed their maps, they put a huge focuse on competitiveness, but they forgot a very important part: The fun.

    Overall the game was fun for the first couple of hours, but it quickly ran out. At this point i have absolutly no drive of going back to it, i just have no fun playing any of the maps,

    Honorable mention to their ingame shop:
    Random items in there every day to promote your FOMO, a bundle that changes every ..i think two weeks? 12 days? something like that, that costs a whooping 70$, at least this one rn. For 5 skins, which come with more stuff on them, if you spend Battlepass-earned points on them, so you better also buy a **** battlepass, because every game nowadays needs a **** battlepass.
    Just as a comparrisson: For 70$ i could buy myself my StatTrak Griffin M4A4 seven times and have some change left, and this griffin does at the same time look better than any of the skins avaiable in Valorant as of right now.
    I could also buy an Aug Arctic Wolf 70 times...    … Expand

    Decent shooter but there are lots of those. This doesnt really add to much and is just somewhere between csgo and overwatch. Its really cartoony thats a pro or con depending on taste but I tend to like a splash more realism like in Counter Strike or Call of duty. The guns are so generic its painful. Its a very chaotic game that let average players have moments of glory but can feel very rng. I think most high skill players will feel more satisfied playing other fps.

    My true complaints are, bad customer service I felt ripped of during beta for some thing I bought and couldnt refund even tho I barely used them. Customer service treated me like garbage even tho my issues were their fault. (I had problems with the anticheat messing up my computer.)

    Invasive anti cheat program really needs to be shut down too. Its a bad precedent having games have that much root level control over your PC. Also the devs have been caught siding with their anti cheat over a large group of casual players. Not worrying about alienating loads of players to stop a few cheaters reminds me of kneejerk over reach. Like not being able to take shampoo on the plane because of liquid laws

    End of the day Riot fanyboys and streamers are going to keep this game in the spotlight for a bit but I dont think its going to turn into the next big esport fps like I was hoping it would. its to average and riots devs have to much tunnel vision on this one. The anti-cheat alone has already divided the player base and the game just came out.    … Expand

Regarding this issue RIOT's support has mostly been ignoring it or even denying this happening & if they accept it as something that exists they say "we'll fix this", yet it hasn't happened & this has been the case since the closed beta. As well as the Game is unpolished and rushed it has been released way to early which resulted in a lot of issues regarding mission tracking, mission rewarding, contract rewarding. To conclude it's a mess of a joke & it could have potential but as with all games who could have or have potential it's just potential it's most likely not going to happen in the next year or so & probably won't ever happen.… Expand

    As a game that is trying to compete against the likes of CS:GO, Valorant takes the worst parts of Rainbow Six Siege (traps that interfere with your aim) and "innovate" by implementing maps with 3 bomb sites. It is funny that this competitive skill-based shooter has weapon spread that is similar to Fortnite.

So I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about CS-style tactical shooters.

    Valorant does somethings really well like the character design (except Raze, rocket launcher doesn't belong to a tactical shooter) and sound design. But somethings they really dropped the ball with. In my opinion the gun mechanics feel really unsatisfying. Unlike in CS or R6S you don't really have a feel for your weapon. In CS you can kind of feel how the spray from your gun goes but in this game it feels like its completely random. I know it's supposed to be a bit random but sometimes it feels that your gun does what ever it feels like doing. I like the pistol mechanics though.

    Another thing I think isn't as good as in the two games I mentioned before is the movement. Both CS and R6S are slow movement games. There isn't any fast movement techniques or anything fancy about them. It's the same in Valorant but for some reason it feels WAY slower. The defenders have a massive advantage. It feels like it's impossible to peek any corners. Also it doesn't help that there are so many angles to check.

    I have a problem that not many of my friends play this game and I have to soloque. I know I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm form Northern Europe so I get matched with a lot of Russians and since they can't communicate, it makes my games unenjoyable. Information is key in this game so how am I supposed to beat a five stack when half of the time half of my team can't communicate with me. And no, you can't write in the middle of a round. Stop it, you're being stupid. Also the devs want you to team up with the players you meet in the game but that's just unrealistic to think that players will just team up with each other just like that.

    Last thing i want to tackle are the maps. The fact that the game launched with only four maps screams to me that it's unfinished. Normally when a game of this caliber and such a large company behind it launches it at the least has 6 or 7 maps. Also the map design is really obnoxious. There is so many rooms where you have to check to multiple corners at the same time. Even with flashes or stuns it's really just a fifty fifty gamble. For example, Split A-main to A-site, 1v1 situation. The first thing you need to do is check to your left and right when you enter the site. Also you have to check heaven and under rafters. After that you have to check defender spawn and back pillar (it's the huge pillar thingy in the middle of the site) at the same time. Then you can plant. It's really annoying to play lke that.

    So that was my rant about the game. It's really good when you have a five stack and you can communicate with your team perfectly but other than that it can be really frustrating.    … Expand

    The graphical aspect of the game is poor for me the graphical aspect is that it motivates me to play not for 1440p or 4k but rather that it at least looked decent and in a matter of maps it does not finish conversing me.

El diseño de interfaz y el arte son exquisitos... pero hay más errores que honores. Las diferentes armas no destacan y hay otras que son completamente inútiles debido al diseño de mapas como lo es la sniper. Las texturas son de baja calidad, y eso es insultante a los tiempos que corren... Los personajes parecen sacados de Paladins pero descafeinados (Estan bien hechos... pero les falta salsa...). Los escenarios son muy pobres y vacíos. ¡Sólo hay un estilo de juego! y lo más triste es que el modo de juego más divertido es la versión reducida del de rankeds... Es un juego que se torna aburrido con el paso de un rato... Es muy fácil matar... Se extraña un botón para agacharse, y aunque la mecánica de apuntar es muy satisfactoria, penaliza demasiado la movilidad además de que al recibir un disparo te ralentiza aún más firmando tu pase a morir... Además de que el reaparecer se puede tornar muy, muuuuuuy lento debido a que debes esperar la siguiente ronda... Lo cual no es divertido para un juego como este. Se nota que quisieron tomar Overwatch y CS:GO y los hicieron tener un hijo con retraso xD Se nota que lo sacaron a las carreras porque ¡LOS AGENTES NO TIENEN SKINS! Que es lo que más se compra en este tipo de juegos Free to play... Y lo peor es que ya no es una beta, que se le podría perdonar todo, pero no... No le doy menos nota porque le veo mucho potencial, pero hasta la fecha le falta mucho para lograr alcanzar a su hermano mayor LOL... Lo siento Valorant llegas 21 años tarde a la fiesta de CS

    Olvidé mencionar las habilidades. Me sorprende que hay muchas habilidades que realmente son muy útiles para manejar a los adversarios, es decir las habilidades que te permiten bloquear la visibilidad o el paso... pero hay otras habilidades que quedan totalmente inútiles cuando le das la capacidad a un arma de matar de uno o dos tiros a la cabeza... por lo cual los agentes con habilidades de daño directo no sirven de mucho. Ya se verá como el meta del juego van a ser sólo disparos a la cabeza, y las habilidades no servirán de nada...

    Ah y otra cosa... el diseño de sonido es terrible :/

RunI played since the early Beta and the Game was Pretty Fun. You knew that there where stuff to fix and that no everything would be perfect from the start. But after the Beta things changed. They released it like a week after closing the Beta. Why? This **** Game is just not ready to be out of the Beta. Nothings works correctly. They promised "no peekers advantage" and what did we get ? Run and gun in a Skill based competitive game. Im LE in CSGO and i would say i got decent aim in Valorant, but its not effecting my Gameplay. Im getting Shot in the Head from guys running around corners so often, i cant even count it anymore. This Problem is there since the "release of the fullversion" and nobody is fixing it. They are bringing out new Skins and stupid **** you can buy with real money but dont fix the **** game. Skins are way toooo expensive and they dont even look that good for the prices. They try be CSGO and try not be CSGO and this dosent work out well. There are Charakters with Grenades that deal 78 Damage even if you are like 10 meters away, there are Rocket louchers that kill you One Shot within a range of 10 Meters, there are Robots that you throw out and they detect a enemie for you and explode if its close to you and thats just one character...
    All characters got some kind of ability thats super strong but theres also Reyna, the New Character. She is anything but balanced gameplay. She got a flashbang that only flashes enemies, she can turn invincible and unvisible and she can heal herself up to 150 health. Even in pistol rounds where normal players could only have 100 health. There was not 1 single game i played where a reyna wasnt the top fragger. This game is just not fun anymore and i dont know how you can ruin a game like this. How can you **** it up so hard that the beta full of bugs was better then the actual game. People said its CSGO for noobs that need op abilitys to get kills and i always tried to change their opinion, but right now im actually thinking the same way. I got aim and i got map knowledge, i played very much games and i know how the game and weapons work, but having normal gunfights where im looking on the enemie and not getting hit by a rocket, flashed by a floating eyeball or just hunted down with a bow that shoots through walls is not happening that often. I dont even know what exactly they changed after the beta but the whole thing just dosent feels right anymore.
    Every day when im starting up the game im thinking if its really an good ideal to play a round because its just making me aggressive to get ****ed by people that just run while they shot and its working out for them. Strave shooting, Strave peeking crouch spraying, you cant do anything against this run and gun **** And again they try to be csgo and dont try to be csgo but why would you make spray patterns that are different every time? thats so **** stupid. In Csgo you want to learn the game so you learn the sprays, thats high skilled **** i want to see. But how needs guns that shoot in any direction after the first 8 bulletts ( these are random too but in a more consistend way) ? And then there is scoping... oh god please why scoping in a csgo clone? thats not it ... if you shoot while scoping the firing rate and the spray apttern is changing. I dont understand why they are building in stupid **** like that. Be a CSGO with abilitys but without **** op **** characters that can do 1v5 or unlearnable spray patterns. How should i improve my aim if there is nothing to improve because its **** random everytime you fire the gun? In CSGO im always try to perfectionate my spray downs and in this game im feeling like a silver 1 player his first matchmaking because the weapon is going anywhere when im trying to pratice my spray controll.
    I dont know why they arent fixing **** atm. In the Beta they patched every week and everybody was happy. Did they earn enough money to this point so they dont need to bring out patches? Its been 3 weeks and since there we all want a reyna patch and nothing is coming. They are nerfing anybody else but not her. This Run and Headshot **** is pissing of the commuity as well. reddit is full of complainings but theyre not doing **** about it.
    I hope this game dies as fast as it got the hype!
    Riot fix your stupid game and dont let the players wait until they dont want to play anymore. For **** players it might not be a problem but for players that know they got atleast a good aim are pissed of by this mechanics of shooting.

However, the basis of the game revolves around this hyper competitiveness and is not inherently fun. The concept of the game is not bad but when put into application, riot manages to make another slow, tedious game. I do not say its slow because of the precise timing or movements, but because the lack of balance leads to generic stand off situations that constantly reoccur. IE: smoke is everywhere, we wait. Fire is everywhere, we wait. Wall has been put up, we wait. The game takes on this routine flow of mundaneness with an occasion cool play or pop off. In addition to this, the weapons in the game hinder your experience by so much. Instead of normal weapon bloom or recoil, unique spray patterns that resemble no firearm known to man inhabit all of the guns. You will often find yourself missing easy (I cannot stress this easy enough) shots and just getting fed up with this overkill spray pattern **** The graphics leaves and user interface leave much to be desired and feel very mediocre. The game is dumb for dumb reasons. Riot could have easily made so many things better but we are stuck with this half baked CSGO-Overwatch inbred.

    Spray patterns are lazy, maybe 10-12 bullets of the spray are consistent then just a lazy right left till the end of the clip.
    The economy has nothing to it, really basic. Probably due to the fact, all the abilities cost so little so it turns into 1 round save and next full buy.
    Maps. Split feels so claustrophobic, almost like your battling against the map rather than the other team sometimes. The maps are either meh average or bad. They only brought out 4 MAPS... and all pretty poor.
    Abilities. We were told there would be no lethal abilities.. they brought out RAZE that has all lethal abilities... DEVS don't know there own game. They cost 2 little. no character should get abilities for free. When you die you should lose them all. No outplay to some ultimates, just really uncompetitive gameplay.
    The peakers advantage has not been fixed, its in fact really bad.
    The hit detection is really bad also, many clips online about how bad it actually is, this might be a connection issue though and hopefully can be fixed soon.

    The game is not good to watch. The youtube, twitch views have dropped massively... EVEN ON LAUNCH. During twitch rivals it wasn't even number 1 on twitch.. streamers and YouTubers didn't come back... people just didn't like it, competitive team play or ranked was just not fun to watch.

    Nearly all these issues can be worked on and fixed, I do hope the game improves and is a rival to CSGO, cause already we have csgo greatly improve thanks to the potential scare of Valorant.. I am worried that will fade now they release they don't have anything to worry about in its current state.
    I had full intentions of making a team and trying to compete in this game.. I was really disappointed, but maybe my fault for having such high expectations so soon.
    CSGO wasn't good the first year it was out either. So I have hope still but right now very average game.    … Expand

    The gameplay is a mixture of excellent and terrible. Somehow, Valorant is smooth but laggy, but by the graphics, it should not be laggy.
    It is a led down, as there were many instances which seemed to work well, but then suddenly hiccuped out from small changes and movements. Nevertheless, it was smooth most of the time, but the sudden hiccups with that type of graphics are not acceptable.

    The sound effects are annoying.
    When firing the guns, there is not a feeling of excitement. They are over-compressed and makes the game feel boring.

    Too many rounds, making the game feel way too elongated.
    The first few games were fun but then turned to a chore, which was not as fun. Nor was it helpful with the three sudden AFK's who probably will not face punishment, knowing Riot's somewhat unresponsive support team, which is even more damning for the game.

    The playability for what it is is terrible. I could pick up other games with the same graphics, even on a crappy PC and get better results. The games become a chore in the end, and there is no solution to staying players when some of their teammates AFK. The sound effects are plain out awful, and the mastering is all over the place, some are good others are either too loud or over-compressed.
    Playability Score: 0/10 - Too Many In-game Problems

    Looks:
    The style and overall look of the game are beautiful. The lighting could be better, but as a concept, it is appealing. There is a lot more they can do, and it has the potential to be even better. But in par against other games, Valorant looks like a still in progress game released too early. However, out of everything, it seems good.
    Looks Score: 5/10 - Good, But Has Better Potential

    Characters:
    I enjoyed the character design. As usual, when it comes to character design, Riot's design team has always been top-notch, and Valorant is no different.
    Character Score: 10/10 - Fantastic Character Design

    Creativity:
    There is some creativity, but most of it is present in Overwatch. The guns would be impressive, but they are painfully plain, offering zero eye candy. I would rather play Call of Duty or CS with better-looking weapons.
    Creativity Score: 0/10 - Any Game Does It Better

    Uniqueness:
    The front is extraordinary and is easy to navigate through, and is unique to Valorant. However, I wished the same was correct about the game. The game in uniqueness would be almost a zero if it were not for its somewhat unique graphic design. But it feels as if it was an upgraded version of cs-go in graphics and game style. Nothing about the game stood out as unique or exciting, except for a first-person shooter game that kind of function part, but that is more negative than positive.
    Its just a shooter game that does its job, but not even well. It does not stand out from anything, nor is it better, just meh.
    Uniqueness Score: 2/10 - Lousy Shooter Game.

    General Note:
    As I began downloading the game, I looked for Riot's goals when they made Valorant. Unfortunately, none of the information was available, or at least to my knowledge, making this review harder to write than necessary.
    Goals are essential in making a game, and for other people to know what they should look forward to in the game. If laid out, the goals were harder to find and should be made visible.

    The accessibility was smooth, no-nonsense, sign in, or make an account, and here is a download button.
    An excellent first look is how quickly they give you access to a game. Some games love to put a story first and then give you the download button; it is a waste of time and is discouraging. Riot made the right choice by doing the no-nonsense here is the game; the story can wait until you are interested.

    There is a restart requirement in 2020 for an anti-cheat system, which could efficiently work without restarting the PC.
    That is something I remembered being used back in 2006 when game coding was not as advanced, yet some still had this without a restart requirement. Valorant should not be required to have this as there are games that do the same thing but without the restart requirement. Even League of Legends has this without the need for restarting, what's different here.

    I like the swift point A to point B accessibility when you want to download the game. However, the ridiculous "you need to restart your PC" for an anti-cheat system that should be a part of the primary system is illogical and a waste of time. Many games, including League o    … Expand

    I had big hopes for this game and was truly let down once I got in to the beta and got to playing. It didn't feel polished, it was slow, dull, and far too unbalanced, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt, it was in a beta stage, after all.

    Now in it's full release, I see very little different with the game.

    Now in it's full release, I see very little different with the game. Some balances have been implemented, so some credit have to be given in that regard, but aside from that, some of the few positive things I can say about the game is that the models look pretty good, it's free, has an anti-cheat, the ability to buy guns for your teammates, sell your own guns, etc, were you to change your mind, is REALLY nice, and the hit registration is pretty accurate. Note that these features are mostly already available in a vast amount of free-to-play games.

    The gun mechanics are clunky, the spray-patterns are random and thusly removes a wellknown and important skill ceiling in FPS games. There's a way to track your spray, by looking at the barrel of your gun and adjusting your aim according to which direction the end of the barrel is leading to, but that's not very innovative at all.

    The map design is truthfully terrible, when they announced the game, they claimed to have experienced people on their team, which unfortunately doesn't show. The maps which are currently in the pool look like something that was made in the early stages of Counter-Strike. (Yes, the mod, not the actual game.)

    Abilities of the characters aren't new by any means, they simply repackaged overwatch heroes and added a few more utilities in the mix, such as more flashbangs, smokes and molotovs for map control.

    Skins are severely overpriced. Looking at the prices, the game feels like a cheaply made moneygrabbing attempt.

    All in all it's not surprising that you heard very little about the game after it's full release, the hype for it died down in it's beta stage, which they did announce quite well. Props to their marketing at the very least.    … Expand

    Basically an easier version of CSGO with League's aesthetic.

    Characters are interesting but some of their abilities are greater than a few that it makes you NOT want to try out the other. The balance between the characters is widely dispersed and unfair. Certain characters can be more effective than a select few. For instance, gathering intel is great with Sova but that's not effective    Basically an easier version of CSGO with League's aesthetic.

    Characters are interesting but some of their abilities are greater than a few that it makes you NOT want to try out the other. The balance between the characters is widely dispersed and unfair. Certain characters can be more effective than a select few. For instance, gathering intel is great with Sova but that's not effective compare to Reyne's explosive abilities that can cause great damage to multiple players, either doing a good amount of damage or a full kill, or both. The abilities that each character has is unique, but in a competitive aspect, it gives a certain player a higher advantage compared to others. Some character has a projectile that they can use to either smoke an entrance or quickly blind someone and get the jump on them. Now while I do find that great, what I don't like is that you can throw them through walls or around the corner and the projectile initiates instantly. To me, it feels a bit cheap to have the drop on someone without allowing them to have any time to react.

    The gameplay feels clunky and heavy to some aspects. Most of the time playing, I feel slow despite having my knife out and the physique that some characters visually has. This also brings back to certain characters taking advantage of that with their abilities, such as Reyne. Reyne can easily punish you by shooting her rocket launcher but no time to react or escape. It feels a bit frustrating, in a competitive aspect, that you barely have any time to move out of harm way simply because the game's movement is clunky by default.

    Shooting and tactic all feel like the same in every round. You can aim down your sight with your main weapon. While it's great that you can do so, it feels useless in some sense because the recoil pattern is easily manageable. There's no mix up when it comes to strategy. Most of the time, the strategy that my team usually comes up with is: keep your gun out and go for picks. Not once have we tried to rush an objective or quietly have someone flank behind them as a defender. You can try to rush to a certain bomb site but all it takes is Sage to put up her Donald Trump's ice wall to cancel that strat and then Omen quickly teleporting on-site or behind you without any sort of sound indicator. This game forces the player to play a certain way and if you have any other tactic, you'll lose more following through with it rather than following the norm.

    Now for competitive matches, there's just one thing that I dislike and I feel like it can be easily fixable. I don't like the fact that both teams can see the economy of each player for both friendly and opposition. Seeing how much money the enemy has is a huge advantage when you have the upper hand. You can easily see if the enemy is saving for the next round or buy. This intel can alter how one team should be playing whether they chose to be aggressive or passive. I don't like this as it doesn't keep both side guessings whether the enemy is going to buy or not.

    Also on a side note, I don't know if it's me but this game seems to crash frequently. Not during matches but when I want to look at something such as the battle pass or cosmetics. My PC is average. I can run COD MW on medium and BFV on high-ultra and still maintain 60 FPS whether I'm in-game or on the main menu. But for some reason, this game crashes. Pretty annoying that I have to exit the application through the task manager and then open Valorant again, which takes 5 minutes to load up too.

    Some suggestion that I hope Riot can put into this game. Deathmatch. I want to improve myself and practice with other weapons. I know there's a training mode but I much rather practices with real people than bots.

    Overall, this game is pretty disappointing. If you want to be baby spoon in a competitive game then this game is yours. Otherwise, if you want to start off at an equal starting point, want to improve yourself against, play against players in your own skillset, and gradually learn new strategies and tactics, then pick up CSGO.    … Expand

Quite simply the core of the game is solid and fun to play. But the game itself has so many annoyances and small things that CSGO does better that makes it one of my least enjoyed games of this year. First off, Gameplay. Armor... is useless. The TTK is lower than most other shooters and thus it gives you no time to properly react. Quite simply if you shoot first and well, the other person will die. The reason I came to this conclusion is quite simple. The LMG's are overpowered and melt you within 20 meters. Armor, no armor, doesn't matter, if you don't kill them with the first shot your dead. Secondly, tutorial. Tutorial? You might say. Why are you talking about the tutorial. Well quite simply it tells you what is important but at the same time nothing at all. It teaches you about aim, buying weapons, how to shoot said weapons and how to plant a bomb. What it doesn't teach you is everything else. What gamemodes are there, what is armor? What does armor do? Whats a buy phase? All of these things are never covered so in my first game I got wrecked cause I had no idea I even had to buy armor until I just happened upon it in the buy menu. Thirdly something not often talked about, menu's and controls. The first thing I realized in my first game, theres no in game text chat. "Well yes there is Sicko, just press enter" Oh thank you kind people, good thing I realized that in my third game. When not even the controls tab in the menu had text chat keybinds anywhere. Fourthly something that cannot be forgiven, and something that I can't believe they ever forgot when making this game. Vote to kick, and surrendering. Vote to kick is small and can be easily forgiven but surrendering... is inexcusable. Especially when even the casual gamemode (which is will get to) has 13 rounds to win. Finally gamemodes. WTF IS THIS BS. The casual gamemode has 13 rounds to win? This is casual, Quick in and out gameplay. I don't want to sit through 7 rounds of beating the crap out of the other team and two or three of their players disconnect or vice versa. The 4 Round version is much quicker and I enjoyed that gamemode vastly better than whatever that was. Ultimately this is probably the biggest flaw of the game. 4 round matches with random weapons aren't always as fun as a quick 8 rounds MAX casual game. I either play ten games of the short and have moderate amounts of fun or play one longggggggggggggg game and get pissed.

    The Thing is, with a few patches most of these problems can be fixed. And maybe one day they will be. And maybe then I'll come back and rereview it. But until then it can't ignore the numerous problems that it has.    … Expand

Also, I do not like the competitive nature that this game brings, this is just how I feel about this game but once I feel like I have to win no matter what is exactly when a game stops being fun to me. The fact that this game is totally "unathletic" because you have to stand like a bloody statue to kill any player in this game and have to have insane accuracy to just have fun in this game, if you're not good at CSGO you'll probably have a hard time enjoying this game.… Expand

The guns are so stupid, they feel inconsistent because they put in ranged dmg like max at 5-10 m while its like 2 dmg from 50m away. With the characters, I guess they are alright. But there are so many recycled abilities like there are 7 smoke abilities 3 wall abilities 3 or 4 splash abilities (Like a puddle I guess) and 3 or 4 blinding/close view abilities. The only special characters are raze, omen, reyna, breach, and sage because they all have somewhat unique abilities. the rest are just recycled. Plus the game really is just a mixture of watered down and boring versions of cs;go and overwatch. honestly if I had to give this game a rating it would be like a 6/10? maybe 5/10. Also the graphics are ASS. It's worse than Fortnite and that games has been in development for years until they released it in 2017. The only reason why it is so popular? Because it's new and was made by Riot who hadn't made a game in awhile. Just because it was sponsored by Twitch, makes it popular. If you want an actually good tac shooter, get CS:GO. The rating was generous because there are some good parts, but I focused on the negatives because there are so many. At least they tried their hand at a new game genre.

    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.
