    Prometeram um jogo leve e que rodasse em um pc de 10 anos atras, o jogo não roda nem em um pc de 5 anos atrás, extremamente mal otimizado. Além de todos outros problemas de péssimos mapas, não ter um dm, ter skins extremamente caras para o brasil e classes totalmente desbalanceadas.

    Great competetive shooter. Requires a lot of practice to master but easy enough to get an understaning of at a surface level if you are well versed similar fps games. Shooting is the core skill but the abilities helps you set it up and makes the game more varied and simply just more fun.

    Riot is doing good work about that game. It's another fps with planting bomb, but it's unique. Every character has different abilities and each isn't useless. Everyone will find his main character. I like how this game has been made. Everyone is saying it's like CS:GO but it isn't.

    Firstly, I have over 4000 hours logged into Conuter-Strike: Global Offensive.

    Let me start off by saying, if CS didn't exist, and I could only play this instead, I wouldn't be MASSIVELY disappointed. However, after playing it for about 10-15 hours in the beta, I don't think I will ever touch the game again. There are many reasons for that: 1) CS exists; why play a game which is 80%    Firstly, I have over 4000 hours logged into Conuter-Strike: Global Offensive.

    Let me start off by saying, if CS didn't exist, and I could only play this instead, I wouldn't be MASSIVELY disappointed. However, after playing it for about 10-15 hours in the beta, I don't think I will ever touch the game again. There are many reasons for that:

    1) CS exists; why play a game which is 80% Counter-Strike with 20% **** when I can play 100% Counter-Strike with 0% **** To me, **** means abilities which don't server as utility (i.e. something that enhances GUN-gameplay), but abilities which take you away from gun-gameplay, like Raze's ultimate (the OP bazooka), almost all explosive grenades, Sova's wallhack arrow and ultimate, teleportation (will explain why later), Sage's wall and Sage's and Phoenix's healing (will go into Sage later). Such abilities are abundant and overpowered in Overwatch, and it's why that game is closer to Smite than it is to CS:GO.

    2) Current balance. Let me just say, abilities are not the problem. Here are some abilities whose CONCEPT I like: Viper's Toxic curtain, Omen's cameras, Raze's jump boosts, Sage's slow, and pretty much all abilities mimicking flashes, smokes and molotovs (notice, NOT grenades). All these aim to either facilitate gun-gameplay, or combat it in a NON-'CHEAP' way to the game. A 'cheap' way of combating gun-gameplay, is to completely prevent it from happening; good abilities allow the player to counter the ability and make the situation into a gun-gameplay one: you can push a smoke or molly or you could (or should be able to) dodge a flash to take a gunfight. That is ALL abilities should ever try to be, and never anything more than that. And guess what, nobody can think of enough non-'cheap', yet unique abilities to fill out 11 characters; so there should only be 5-7 characters, and never more than that (more on that below).

    Many of the abilities, although conceptually good, need tweaking; Sage's slow shouldn't make noise when you're in it, ALL flashbangs should give opponents an CLEAR indication at least half a second (if not longer) before going off, and Omen's cameras seem OP, I'd nerf them too somehow (idk how).

    3) 1 month into the game's existence and we have a new character. I haven't played the game recently, so I don't want to comment on the character, but to me, this is an indication of Riot's philosophy. I can forgive classes in an FPS game if there is a constant number of characters in the pool at all times. Here is something a lot of games, in my opinion, get wrong: more things =/= better game. That is not to say things should never get added, but adding things should only be a SIDE-EFFECT of having a good new idea. Valve do this great; in the 8 years CS:GO has existed, there have been a handful of NEW things added, all of which contributed new ideas; an automatic pistol (CZ), a gun with shot delay (Revolver, which didn't work out, but no harm done, it's just a trash weapon on the side), an AoE damage nade (molly) and a handful of maps with innovative ideas (Overpass which has become a core of the competitive map pool in CS and everybody loves it, Canals which is unique in its own right).

    4) Sage is broken to such an extent that tweaking values of abilities won't help. No hero should have a wall AND a slow AND a healing AND then an ultimate which revives a player. Obviously this can change, but the fact that this hero got through and STILL hasn't lost any of her abilities shows that Riot is willing to make 'cheap' abilities very powerful and prevalent in the game.

    5)Teleportation: I hate it with a passion. All it does is take away from the intuitiveness of the game. Say you're in a 2v1 against Omen, and your teammate dies to him, he calls out the position. Now you have to bear in mind that he may have/ may have used his ultimate to teleport, and it's like you don't have any information. It punishes good communication and game sense.

    5) I mentioned that I am not a fan of explosive grenades. That is because AoE damage abilities are just superior. Same as nades, they punish predictable positioning but as opposed to nades, they allow for the enemy to play around the grenade in expecting it/ reacting to its sound and peeking out before it does too much damage or bailing on the position. On the other hand, if not expected, it can cause you to panic and peek out unprepared, resulting in death. Hence it is very high-skilled, and just does everything better than the nade.

    6) Something I'll give a pass to is the maps. Almost all maps in CS today have been refined over a long time.

    Now let's talk about execution:

    7) In the first week or two weeks of the beta, there was a bug due to which I couldn't hear teammates' voice chat. That defo resulted in me playing less.

    8) I had a feeling that the hit-reg was off; but that could just be me.

    9) Vanguard is way more intrusive than I am comfortable with, and yet there are many hackers.    … Expand

    As an inexperienced FPS gamer, I would say that my comments will be a little bit stupid and misunderstanding, but at least this will be fair

    I would say that compare to other games, Valorant is a good game for those who are willing to start playing FPS game. Though the graphics aren't good for this year, even the lowest graphic setting of it wouldn't even make me feel uncomfortable or border like CSGO or Overwatch, which I found boring later than. I would say Valorant is a very good game at attracting new players and keeping them so far. The mechanics of the game by far was very good actually, maybe some will think it slow but to be fair, it will be a lot better than the fast and consecutive gameplay of Overwatch. And about the strategies part, none of them are OP or something which can make the games more creative than other FPS game, and I think that's mainly why Original FPS player will find it a lot confused and boring, cause there are so much more thinks than shooting and moving skill, make the game become harder, but still friendlier to other. The game is easy actually to say, the art line is may look different to other FPS games but if you know riot games, mainly their games aren't good at graphics, but still very attractive. And for those who came here just because they think that Valorant is a CSGO + Overwatch games, then that's why your gaming experienced is that bad, Valorant have itself advantage that if you guys just forget the CSGO or Overwatch and play it, you may addict to it, I promise. And one more thing to say, Valorant by far I think will be the most stable FPS games for this is still just Riot's first step, cause to say Valorant have all of the elements of good FPS games and surely will very hard to be a dead game like PUBG or something. Its game has the purpose for the player to stay with, which was why making Apex Legends had a long time being a dead game, and the champion will make the gameplay more plentiful by the update, which again mainly the problem why PUBG died ( gameplay never changes, which make the player boring)
    But any game has its own problem and so as Valorant. The game seems to have a number of bug and glitch which were kind of unacceptable for a light game like Valorant, The graphics, again to say is just not good for a FPS game, I seriously think that it's not that bad as you guys mention but still Riot should take more time on making the space and shader of the game be more realistic. I have nothing to say about the mechanics cause I think it was just classic but with a little bit slow, but maybe the game should have been a little faster and the time in each ground and matches must be longer, in order to make the game a little bit try-hard for new player but was satisfying for the veteran one
    To make the conclusion for this review, I think that Riot was doing well consider they are just started to changing there self. Valorant is a very potential game if we can be a bit of patience and positive about the game.    … Expand

    [-] Gameplay is abysmal. It feels like they combined the worst aspects of Counter-Strike and Overwatch.

    People are camping everywhere, the chokepoints are killing your incentive to move around. You just stare into some ugly polygons for 2 minutes until you either get a kill or get killed. The game gives you little incentive to actually move around, and favors those who just hold a chokepoint until the round is over.

    The game is heavily in favor of the defenses side. It is not enjoyable to play from the offensive side because you almost always lose.

    And the classes with their stupid abilities don't help. At times you think you've won the game but then someone activates their ultimate and get a stupid advantage and clutches the round 1v5. Abilities and classes really don't fit in what's supposed to be a competetive game.

    [-] The microtransactions and skins are not very pretty to say at the very least. When you spend $20 in any other 2020 game you expect to get an impressive piece of artwork or a creative dance. In this game they will goldplate your already ugly polygon-gun. No thank you!    … Expand

    I've played both Overwatch and CS:GO I enjoyed them both but I always wished for them to be more similar to each other, so Valorant is literally what I wanted. My issues with Overwatch was primarily that it's very Rock Paper Scissors, your skill matters significantly less then a game like CS as apposed to the Character you picked. But your KDA isn't the only display of your team participation unlike CS.

    I despise CS for it's clarity, the game isn't so much a challenge for aiming, it's a challenge to spot a beige colored enemy against a beige colored wall, it's just not happening. Both Overwatch and now Valorant solve this issue, I've been incredibly impressed with how well you can determine characters even at a glance despite having the same hit box and inherently similar silhouettes, unlike Overwatch.

    The game feels balanced, I haven't encountered an ability that I felt unfair although some are better then others people tend to make up for with unique use cases. Maps are pretty bland and feels cluttered with many corners, but I've enjoyed every single one, and they all have a little twist to it that's always enjoyable. Although a see a lot of people hating the visuals I absolutely adore them and the performance is like nothing I've ever seen.

    This is more personal and probably only because I've been lucky but all of my teammates and enemy's, no matter if they perform well or not, have been super nice and supportive of everyone. Having played both League and CS I can say that the toxic players really ruin the experience for me and I just can't get into it. Here I actually feel safe and I know that sounds kinda odd but its true. Even if it's only temporary and my luck suddenly changes, I've never played a game with such lovely and funny people. I hope it remains like that, though I have already seen some horrific behavior from videos and images online.

    Valorant is a perfect mix of Overwatch team play and clarity, with CS:GO's skill based gun play. Exactly what I had wished for years from the competitive FPS genre.    … Expand

    Awful game the graphics are not upto par with the year 2020
    The anti cheat is as overhyped as the game and already been bypassed and cheats ran rampant for game already
    The game doesn't even know where they are headed with the gun mechanics i dont know if they want us to stop to shoot or just run and gun and it doesn't help that their anti cheat is basically a RAT

    I definitely like this game a lot. A lot of the ops are definitely unbalanced (sage) which i assume will be corrected in the coming patches. they made it a bit more casual, if not semi-competitive which is a pro coming from someone who was **** at other competitive 5v5s (Siege, CSGO). The gun play in general is fun and decently easy, although I don't like the RNG that comes with spraying.I definitely like this game a lot.

The semi-cartoonish nature of the maps sort of helps make it more interesting, speaking as though it opens up more non-realistic opportunities for mappers, such as Bind's teleporting. Haven switches up the competitive formula by introducing a third site that, contrary to the opinion of many 5v5 veterans, is not difficult to hold with a single semi-experienced player. The rest of the maps (Ascent, Split) are sort of the regular, refined 5v5 formula.

The servers feel great - especially now after full release - the game has always run smoothly for me, even during beta, which is surprising in a good way, and the game itself is so inviting to new players or hardened CS/OW professionals. I didn't even want to like this game, but I couldn't help myself. This rating right now can easily be proven as biased, because a game like this can in no way be reasonably given a review under 3 (and that's not even an opinion, that's statistically undeniable), and most of the people leaving awful reviews either never played the game and don't understand the game (because it's really a game you have to play to understand it's awesomeness) or are freaks about their PC's and hate the anticheat. If it isn't one of those two things, then they're just over-exaggerating the bug issue - by the way, I've never encountered any bugs whatsoever besides a Cypher cam glitch ONCE - which is ridiculous seeing as the game was in BETA where bugs are *meant to be found, tested, and fixed* up until like two days ago. *Please* give this game a shot if it seems even a little bit interesting to you, as I believe literally anyone could really enjoy it. Ignore this blasphemous rating. Have a nice day.… Expand

I feel like some of the champs are must haves on your team, there is little map variety right now, and i'm not a fan of the ADS in this game.

I understand CSGO is technically free but lets be honest if you don't have Prime Status you don't get anti-cheat. That being said I suspect a large portion of the negative reviews have yet to discover all of the intricacies and combinations behind each character and class. There is a bit of a sour taste for people who may be struggling to grasp the game mechanics but I can already tell you that the creativity in play-making has been a lot of fun and very exciting thus far. I have been playing since day one and have had little issues with the servers and have purchased the battle pass without issue as well. I tend to start my sessions off with a few rounds in the shooting range on medium/hard difficulty to warm up which I find to be a really awesome under-rated feature for getting reactions primed for game play.

    As someone who has played the beta I can say the game is ‘okay’ it doesn’t feel very original or new the characters aren’t original, the gunplay feels like counterstrike and there’s no clear narrative or story being presented to the player.
    Is it a Counterstrike clone? I would say it is, with a bit of Overwatch thrown in the mix.

    Valorant has great art design, interesting gameplay and is all around good. This is not without it's issues however. I first and foremost feel like the games drag on too long. 13 rounds to win is a long time, and I feel like it works in a competitive environment, but a more casual mode that has 8 rounds or something would work a bit better for quick play type thing.

    My second problem is that the maps feel too cramped and vaguley empty. I feel like this may just be personal preference, but if you look at (the inevitable comparison comes in) CS:GO's most popular map, Dust 2, it has variations on open space, kinda narrow passages and it has space. When I play valorant I feel very cramped. I know that they're adding more maps, but I just feel as thoughthe ones that are currently in the game are too narrow.

    Most of my complaints come down to personal preference. I personally feel that the maps are too cramped and that the games drag on too long. It's slow and boring, which some people enjoy, I had one friend describe it as "finally a game where you have time to think" but the con is that you can't have a fast paced play style. Again, I'm comparing to CS:GO as I think they nailed this particularly, but you can camp/slowly peek corners if you want to with the right gun, but if you enjoy running around fast paced action, you can by a close range-high fire rate gun like the P90 and run around spraying. Again, I am talking about a casual scene since that is what I am more interested in. In Valorant, all the guns feel the same ( Save for the shotguns, and snipers) but there is almost no difference in feel for me, between the rifles and the smgs.

    Someone else said it somewhere, but the game just feels empty to play. The game has very fixable issues, which all you would need to do would be introduce a more casual gamemode, and more opportunities to vary your playstyle. This is why it got a 7/10 from me. It has tons of potential, but just needs more refining. I look forward to seeing where the game goes.    … Expand

This is a game that was designed with competitive integrity at it's core, and that design philosophy shows. The graphics, while not great, make everything you are looking at easy to understand. The hero selection, while not super varied, provides a plethora of strategic options and ensures balance even when certain agents are not selected. The execution of the design philosophy is exceptional, even if you do not care for the overall design choices. The game can feel a little repetitive due to a current lack of content, but the obvious plan here is that future patches will address this issue, and fans of this game should have little problem finding enough to tide them over between content drops.… Expand

    Honestly I don't understand all of the these negative reviews. The graphics in this game is great (I love "childish" & "cartoony" looking games like overwatch). Though it might feel a little unpolished, keep in mind that this game just got out of beta and kinda got out of beta earlier then expected (they were supposed to release it in the middle of summer so this was really early).

    Brilliant game。After spending over 600 hours in CSGO and 500+ hours in Overwatch, I can recommend this title. Riot games has done an outstanding job by adding the competitive aspect of CSGO with the utility abilities from Overwatch and other similar games. 10/10

    Very boring gameplay. Maps are extremely poor. Abilities and heroes are very unbalanced some of them being completely gamebreaking. Sound is very off. Again, very boring and shallow gameplay, I uninstalled it after 8 unranked games, and would have probably done it earlier if I hadn't had a couple of friends to play with (none of them play the game anymore either).

Experience with community was horrible as well, which is probably to be expected considering most of the community is Overwatch players with a small part of Lol players (and about 3 people from counter-strike who realized they just arent good enough for a real competitive game). Positives: UI is quite good, I like the art style as well, but thats as far as it goes when it comes to positives. All of the negatives, as well as a terrible anti-cheat system, require Valorant to make an insane amount of changes to ever even be considered close to a "csgo killer" like it was propped up to be by so many (morons). And I gave this game a fair try, I really did, went in as neutral as possible. At the current state, it is a very poor fps game.… Expand

    Objectively speaking, VALORANT is a bad game, which nevertheless has a large number of advantages that balance its badness and make it mediocre. As a game, VALORANT deserves 5 or even 3 points, but the developers have a plan to develop the game and communicate with the community, unlike Valve, who do not care about both the game and the community.

So I would add them 2 more points for this. Anticheat sometimes does cause problems, but it at least works, unlike VAC; for >100 hours of playing in closed beta and on release, I met only one explicit cheater. I believe in Riot Games, they will lead the game to a bright future. I would have given the game a total of 7, but since the haters here at metacritic decided to dump its rating, I put 10… Expand

    The game isn't being review bombed as many are claiming.

    The game down to the core does nothing original and has a very right-winged and toxic playerbase. The game copies all of its main aspects from other games such as TF2, Overwatch and CSGO, this is just a generic clone that isnt enjoyable.

    1/10, nothing new, only old.

I've like the fact that is more CSGO than overwatch because of the more potential chance of winning with just purely your own skills, of course team work will give you the upmost chances of winning. This game is a unique game because its a combination of 2 FPS games, which is CSGO and overwatch. It makes this game interesting because you get the feeling of playing both games in 1 experience. I really like that the developers really listen to their communities and make changes quickly they literally made changes to the map Split TWICE because we kept not enjoying the map and everyone kept complaining about raze so they made a change to her as well. I really enjoy that, coming from a person who played overwatch since season 1, that game lasted a long time but the dev did not listen to their community. I like that they add animation to their guns and when you get kills it creates a more satisfying feeling than just having the skin on your gun. This game is still a new born baby, the devs are continuously looking at our feed back and making changes. I know they will continue to listen to us and try their best to make us happy. I definitely see potential in this game and will continue to support this game by playing it.… 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.
