Valorant

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

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'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.

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.
