User Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

Its the trend now, dont compare it to a dead infested with cheaters gambling game. Atleast this game has decency

Such a good game. It's fun and kid friendly. No nudity which is great so my kid can play. It's a great 5vs5 game.

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 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.

1 year since the release, this game has proven itself to be the best. Active updates and very few hackers seen in the game. On top of that, it's FREE to play.

This game has too many mistakes that make it more irritating to play, the community is the most disgusting and toxic, better play CSGO, that community is not so rotten and the game is better.

Very good game but many toxic players. My favorite FPS game but land the consept is really good. But riot need to fix rank system. All in all really good game recommend it really much.

Been playing this game for 2 years and all i have to say about this game is that its been the worst experience ive had with any game in my entire life. Super slow paced, maps are terrible and too open or have too many sharp corners so you can sit all day holding one angle, i mean people in this game not only hold angles in actual ranked games but deathmatches as well. You hop on a deathmatch to get warmed up but everybody sits in corners or spawn right behind you and kill you instantaneously and repetitively. It gets boring especially when your teammates are trash/toxic and you cant rank up. There are also so many damn flash characters and when you get flashed youre disabled for an eternity. Sometimes the flashes dont even show up on your screen and you get full blinded. Skins are overpriced. They have the least exciting updates, maps and characters come in every damn 4 months. They have the least amount of game modes ive ever seen in any game. Its been 3 years since release and there's still no custom game modes or game variety. Game also requires a goddamn super cpu to run it or else u get terrible fps, even in low graphic settings. In conclusion, game is just a big flop and all Riot wants is money.

It is very strategic based, two teams of five and the objective of the game is to plant the spike. It is one of those Counter Strike type of games but playing a group of preset characters with their unique abilities, feels like a real tactical shooter, There are competitive modes as well which are really fun climbing the ranks.

I have been banned for a total of 300 hours because my wifi cut out once and i have left a few unranked matches. The devs are stupid im not playing any more.

Valorant gets a lot of bad rap bc washed CSGO players who are salty they couldn't go pro couldn't get used to it. But overall it's not a bad game, the art is amazing, and the guns, with the exception of a select few, are fairly balanced even if it not feel like it in the heat of the moment. I see a lot of people complain about how Valorant's spray is bad because it's completely random, however, having a set spray pattern isn't realistic, and adds way too high of a skill ceiling. One more thing I've noticed is that people talk about the community, when plenty of other communities, including the beloved CSGO that everyone compares valorant to are far worse. But that's not riot's fault per say, and for a game that's not even two years old, riot has done a absolutely fantastic job at listening to their community, regularly updating their game, balancing game features, and quite frankly has the most active pro scene I've ever scene out of an up and coming video game ever. And while every valorant players has their qualms with it, each and every one of them open the game every day mald after mald because it's quite honestly really addicting

Hope this helped.

1 star because it's just so bad. Smurfs are the worst and you can't win, I currently have a 9 loss comp streak because of smurfs and I'll be giving away my account for free whoever wants, toxicity just never ends, it's just a game so what. It's not your life. Same map over and over again makes it so boring to play the game, I got fracture 4 times in a row.

Loss streaks are so common, riot makes you want to quit by giving you bots as your teammates and pros as your enemies so you guarantee to lose again and again. Matchmaking is just so bad, how am I in a diamond lobby when I'm just a bronze. Skill base matchmaking is broken. Please don't install this game unless you want to break your PC.

Take the graphics of minecraft, take the mechanics of valorant and add running to the game. You don't have fps problems with fast paced gameplay because the minecraft graphics are absolutely low end and the matches are placed in small maps which gives you even more fps, which solves the big fps problem with high paced fps games. It's like battlebit but valorant. Imagine a valorant where you can finally run which opens a whole new variety of different gameplay situations and makes the game more fun to play also the average time a match takes should decrease which lets you play more often and you dont need to have much time to play a short ranked game or to play a lot of matches throughout the day.

Most toxic game,with kids ho flame,troll,and bad servers ,chat delay,no replay system after 2 years since release,they make only skins to sell it and make more money,give a shiet to the players! I regret it now because i buyed like 400$ in skins,and they dont care about players only to make more and more money!

This game has too many mistakes that make it more irritating to play, the community is the most disgusting and toxic, better play CSGO, that community is not so rotten and the game is better.

All I said was somthing in chinese and got banned for a week. Retarded game

I'm asain too.

As a passionate gamer always on the lookout for the next big thing, I eagerly dove into Valorant, hoping for an exhilarating experience promised by its hype. However, what I found was a disheartening journey through a game that falls short in almost every aspect.

Let's start with the gameplay itself, touted as the game's cornerstone. Valorant attempts to blend elements from various successful titles, but instead of achieving synergy, it ends up feeling like a disjointed mess. The gunplay lacks the satisfying punch found in other shooters, with weapons feeling floaty and unresponsive. The abilities, while conceptually interesting, often disrupt the flow of combat rather than enhancing it, leading to frustrating encounters that feel more luck-based than skill-based.

Moving on to the visuals, Valorant's art style feels uninspired and generic. Character designs lack personality, resembling rejected concepts from other games in the genre. The environments are forgettable, with bland textures and uninspiring level design that fails to immerse players in the world.

One of the most glaring issues plaguing Valorant is its progression system, or rather, the lack thereof. With a paltry selection of cosmetic items and a grind-heavy unlock system, there's little incentive to keep playing beyond the initial novelty. The game fails to reward player investment, leaving many feeling unfulfilled and ultimately disinterested in continuing.

But perhaps the most egregious offense committed by Valorant is its rampant issues with balance and optimization. Matchmaking often pits players against vastly uneven opponents, leading to frustrating stomps that do little to foster a competitive spirit. Meanwhile, performance issues plague the game, with frequent crashes, stuttering, and lag hindering the experience for many players.

In conclusion, Valorant is a disappointing endeavor that fails to live up to the lofty expectations set by its marketing. With lackluster gameplay, uninspired visuals, a flawed progression system, and numerous technical issues, it's hard to recommend Valorant to anyone seeking a fulfilling gaming experience. Instead of revolutionizing the genre, Valorant serves as a cautionary tale of what happens when hype overshadows substance.

They say your get your staff straight away , is all rubbish , then your try to message then and your get a response back saying joing discord , and when you do , your can't message any body, is all just to get your money , don't waste your money with this rubbish., If you want to waist your money , your may blow your nose. When you have a running nose , if you don't have napkins around your, it will be on a better use., They don't have the decency of even responde back to your in they own messaging services, company like this they shouldn't be allowed to operate misleading customer, they are no fit for purpose.

The game is great and playable but the competitive system is seriously flawed and broken thanks to the developer Jonathan "EvrMoar" Walker. This game will die out in the near future. Compared to its competitor of Counter Strike 2, This game is uninspiring, the competitive mode has bland and reptitive small rewards that dose'nt motivate you to continue playing and it is filled with cheaters and smurfs constantly. All of this is to blame Jonathan "EvrMoar" Walker, he should not touch any game development Evr again. The graphics are cartoonish and lack inspiration compared to other shooter games. End.

Slowpaced fps gameplay compared to other title and it is free to play, which is a bonus. Apart from that, weapon design and graphics are really really bad. Tbh it looks like a mobile game being transitioned to pc.

On top of that it has the most toxic community of any online game, according to surveys.

It should be mentioned that most fps games with a ranking system has extremely toxic communities overall and since the consequences of vitriolic behavior are as good as non-existent it will gradually alienate big parts of the player base.

If you want to relax and have a good time, then this game is not something for you.

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.
