Valorant

Valorant is a really good game and a really bad one at the same time, for now in 2020 and 2021 it is the best of PS games like CSGO you can play on the market, I got a combination of two games CSGO and overwatch, you can agree and disagree with this point that's fine, but I feel the The spraying while walking it's kind of over powered in this game press super enjoyable to play with your friends even though you're getting hit shot by a Walking man , I honestly recommend people to play this game but be patient with it to learn the game you need to have patience because the game my piss you off.

I'm going to be drawing some comparisons from CS:GO for this review because that's what this game is trying to be.

This point might have been debunked, I'm honestly not sure, but Riot's Vanguard has full rights to your computer and can do basically anything to it. Vanguard is always running unless you tell it to quit, which will need a restart if you wish to play again. This becomes an issue if a hacker manages to get into Riot's database. Be aware of this before installing incase you have any sensitive files that need to be protected.

Now, how I feel about the gameplay. I think this game has a lot of issues. While it is fairly balanced in it's characters, much more than a game like Overwatch, the game suffers from poor gunplay, movement, and map design. The gunplay is rather clunky because the spray is pretty random and unpredictable, unlike CS:GO where skill determines how well you handle recoil and spray. If you move just a little while using a rifle or an awp even while crouching, the spray is random. Gun damage makes little to no sense. 3 shots from an AK-47 to the body does not kill but one shot to the head from a revolver is an instant kill. Movement is definitely not as snappy as it should be, and bunnyhopping is too easy.

The map design is quite bad. There are so many angles and random spots that someone can be or hold. So simple but so problematic. This way, you can play in a "dumb" manner and be rewarded for this. I feel that CS:GO is better in map design by a lot, at least with maps like Inferno and Mirage.

I would also like to make a point about abilities. Mostly flashbangs. Many of the flashbang abilities in this game are overpowered. You have little to no time to react, and they can be spammed. Sometimes an ultimate from Brimstone or Viper can easily win the match with little to no risk or skill required.

I will say I enjoy this game with friends, otherwise I would not play it at all. I'm not sure how many hours I have as Riot doesn't include that as a feature as far as I know, but I played most in the beta and this review is a product of how I feel now.

I hope that my review is in some ways helpful. This game is not bad but it is not good. It does not accomplish what it is trying to be and therefore gets a 6 from me.

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 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.

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.
