Valorant

I always liked the look of CSGO and was a fan of overwatch and Destiny 2 So the trailer made this game look like the perfect mix.

Well

Gunplay is Clunky and boring, every gun feels super unreliable, like the winner of a gunfight is usually whoever isn't looking the other way or has better RNG. Absolutely awful movement with a mechanic that slows your movement speed by 70% for getting shot, basically removing all chance of dodging even on the movement characters using abilities its just impossible. Speaking of, most abilities can feel just so weak I have to consider even buying or using them. Many abilities that are meant to be used or do better mid fight often get me killed because I go to use it at the same moment my enemy peeks, while this can be my fault from just poor planning there are countless moments where im just being punished for trying to play the game.

The only map I enjoyed was removed, Skill based matchmaking just doesn't seem to exist as the quality of team mates is never the same. This wouldn't be a huge issue if it was at least consistent across the teams. Its okay for the game to put me in a game where the average skill level is a bit higher or lower than my own for the sake of queue times, but for god's sake make it even on each team so that the game is decided before anyone's even picked a character. I have never before seen a "team game" where teamwork is basically optional to win. You have to hard carry to rank up. I cannot tell you the amount of times I have had to hard carry against players way above me in skill level with a team full of seemingly brand new players who dont even have audio turned on, and yes this is both unrated and competitive.

Maybe I'm being to harsh on a free game, I mean the developers are only the highest grossing company in the world of game developers and they aren't making a great deal of money only, roughly 20-40 million dollars per bundle, which is actually a ridiculous amount- and no wonder, the price for skins is absolutely unbelievable and it shocks how many people still buy them. You can easily buy 5+ far, far, far better games for the cost of the cheapest bundle.

Shooting is as good as it's supposed to be. Skins and animations are pretty cool. Characters are good. They have special abilities unique to them. Players are mostly toxic. They sweare a lot. Even if you've done a small mistake. Ther's muting option but if you do that, you can't get information about the other team. Normally online games bore me but i'm playing Valorant for months. I think you should give it a chance.

The game is advertised as this fast paced, her action shooter with unique abilities. Although the harsh reality is it's a disappointment of a game. The game play is weak, rounds lasting up to 5 mins 13 rounds to win EACH MATCH. Yes exactly, you can't imagine how draining that must be for such a slow pased shooter. Not only that, in fast paced shooters it's all about actions and combos, but in this game they insist that pre aiming and being extremely precise is the way to be the best. Definitely not my favorite game, if you want action play overwatch instead of this mess.

I hate this game the passes suck the guns just why the gameplay the maps everything about this game I don't like the abilities are kinda cool that is really it.

The artists did a really good job on visuals, UI, voice acting, animations and customizations. But the game itself is like a CS:GO mod with terribly designed abilities.

The gameplay is a mess, it's clunky, it feels very slow, the shooting and movement mechanics are outdated and missing modern features, like vaulting, climbing, sprinting. Although the visual artwork is great, the game tries to run on all PC's that run CS:GO, so everything looks flat and low poly, especially the environment.

And the microtransactions, they are very expensive, and they sell skins, their animations and variants separately. The season pass has very low value imo, the skins there are very tamed compared to overpriced premium skins in the shop. And as of this moment, there are no character skins in the game, just weapon skins, animations and sprays.

Devs are constantly updating the game with new skins, but new maps and characters drop very slowly. Even when I liked it, it was boring.
