- VGChartz7.0While the exorbitant pricing models – even for free-to-play shooter standards – are a tough pill to swallow, Valorant can be tough to put down. The well-weathered gamer can easily spot its debt to Counter-Strike and Overwatch, akin to Family Guy's Invention of Reese's skit, but that shouldn't dismiss how those mechanical & aesthetic philosophies succinctly fuse together through Riot's own due diligence. Said combination does come with certain hang-ups that make me question whether it's more a highly addictive shooter versus a great one, but it speaks favorably that it's always worth putting up with some obnoxious lobbies or occasional teammate disconnects. As the saying almost goes: it's more than the sum of its plagiarized parts.
- Push Square9.0Despite missing a few features from the PC version and eye-watering prices for customisation items, Riot has crafted an incredible shooter in Valorant and done a stellar job at transitioning it over to PS5. It's a unique breed of multiplayer shooter that won't be for everyone, but those looking for an intense, competitive experience won't find anything better on Sony's console.
- Gameblog.fr8.0Avec sa recette à mi-chemin entre Counter-Strike et Overwatch 2, Valorant est un jeu atypique qui demande à être dompté mais qui nous le rend bien. Après quelques heures, le plaisir de jeu est assez incroyable. Les parties s’enchaînent, la tension est grisante. Le fait de pouvoir réellement ressentir l’impact de ses décisions et de ses actions rend le jeu addictif. On a vraiment envie d’aller plus loin, de se surpasser. Dommage que l’on ne puisse pas profiter de l’intégralité du roster de personnages plus rapidement. Il faudra pas mal d’heures de jeu avant de remplir sa collection, mais c’est bien là le seul reproche qu’on pourrait lui faire, d’autant que le jeu est totalement gratuit et ne propose que du cosmétique en boutique. Même si c’est parfois onéreux, c’est totalement optionnel.En somme, Valorant a totalement réussi son portage sur console et on espère bien que ce sera le début d’une belle histoire pour la scène compétitive. Allez Riot Games, faites-nous quelque chose de sympa !
- TheXboxHub9.0For all the goodness to be found in Valorant – and trust me, there’s a lot – remember one key piece of advice. The gameplay on offer here is hardcore, with little in the way of assistance that is made. Take just one or two shots to the head, and you’ll go down, forced to wait until the next round to put things right. Granted, as is the norm console players are afforded a touch of aim assist for their troubles – the key reason Riot refuse to allow PC and console players to matchmake together, for reasons of ‘competitive integrity’ – but I don’t blame many for being turned off by Valorant’s steep learning curve. I can’t stress just how brutal Valorant is – expect to go many games without even registering a Round win or even a single kill. Intense knowledge of the maps and weapons, as well as precise aiming, is not just recommended but a necessity if you are to get any enjoyment from Valorant. That being said, dedicate time to mastering the abilities of your favourite Agents, learn the callouts for each map, and get your aim down to a T, and Valorant may quickly become your next major gaming addiction.
- Quarter to Three4.0It’s all in service of the eSports focus. Anything quicker would be too fast for dramatic shows. Riot has made eSports their bread and butter, so it’s no surprise that Valorant is heavily skewed to that audience. Gone are the days of 1v1 arena fights in LAN tournaments with fullbright settings. One match. One result. One mistake and you were done. There were no upset wins or swings. You did a looping run from the railgun spawn and the keg of health and you didn’t dare deviate because it could all be over with one high-ping hit.
- Sirus Gaming8.0Valorant made a rather old game formula fun that even myself can’t deny how delightful the sessions were. It manages to keep what makes the game fun and that’s its core gameplay mechanics. So even if you’re not a CS:GO veteran, worry not, because the skill-based matchmaking does its job right in placing you with players with the same level of performance and balances the teams.
Gamer reviews
Good game, good looking agents. (Worth giving a try)
I would have given it 10 if not there was so many cheaters in the game, or smurfs in comp to ruin iron - gold players lobbies, which is pretty annoying. I've played valorant for almost 2 years, and i hate the fact there is smurfs (players who is really high ranked plat - radient) that just one shots you in ranks when you playing in iron, i know they helping someone, but it sure ain't fun for the other team eh, and for cheaters ya those can go to hell for cheating in a game... what is the point??
Valorant
A good game, but as always, Philippines and competitive multiplayer games aren't the best match
Valorant
the game in general is good but the matchmaking takes so long and the bans are stupid. But still Solid game
Very good
It has very good core gameplay but the skins are very overpriced. However if you don’t want to spend money you don’t have bc nothing is pay to win. No loot boxes. The agents fell very unique and riot actually cares about balancing the guns and agents. The anti cheat is above average. The game is still improving and it is very good if you like Csgo and/or over watch.
A Strong Modern Competitive Shooter
Riot's been trying their best to take the crown from Blizzard, and with their recent acquisition from Microsoft, it looks like they won. Valorant's five versus five gunfights are the strongest I've seen in a competitive FPS yet. No match is ever the same if you account its cast of colorful agents (and bad players). Overwatch was a fantastic game, but it was hampered by Blizzard's constant change in formula. Riot became consistent with its mechanics, and that's what I love about them. There's still more room for improvement with this budding competitive shooter and Riot is well-equipped to handle the many changes it has to encounter in the future.
"The Famous CSGO rip-off" by Riot games, the same company which copied **DOTA**, which made League of legends. I don't really care if they copy or not, just don't make the game exactly the same but add a few new features. It's not original. The worst thing i hate about Valorant is the use of the character's powers. There are different characters, some having different abilities and powers. You get to choose which character you can choose in the game, the first few characters are free to choose at the start. But after that, you've to buy it using currency. Which are obtainable after every match. **Characters:** There are different characters, and some character's power can flash the enemy while others can't. Which makes the game really “Team-Based” yea, it is. But it's like mostly team-based. While in csgo, you can just carry the whole team by yourself. While in valorant, you'll have to depend on your teammate to flash, smoke and other stuff. Which i really hate about the game. Skins in the game are okay? But really expensive, yea in csgo some are expensive, but in Valorant, the Graphics are very good. And some skins are quite cool, they are very expensive. And you can get free skins, but you'll have to do your character's task and level them up to earn a skin. While in other hands, you can earn free skins in CSGO by drops after every match. Most players go to Valorant after the “NON-Prime” update that happened in CSGO. While in CSGO, you can actually earn money, while in Valorant. They are barely any ways to sell your skins unless you want to sell online, which is very tedious. And Valorant isn't on steam, which is sometimes I really hate, I have to download Valorant from their website, and it took forever, and every single time I lunch the game, there are updates. And I have to wait for it to update, and I can't see my total hours on the game. The thing I like about Valorant: * Anti Cheat System, It's very good. Barely any cheaters in the game, unlike csgo. * Like how you have to play 10 unranked matches before playing a ranked match. Things I hate about Valorant: * Skins (Way too expensive and doesn't look that good) * Can't play with bots (like csgo bot matches) * No ability to play custom maps or create them. Unlike csgo, you can play and create custom maps. And It's not tedious to do. * Abilities in the game. It makes the game more team based and more of luck when finding teammates then csgo. * That you have to buy characters. This is mostly on my opinion, i don't hate the game honesty, just dislike the game and how the company is basically copying Valve. First DOTA and Now CSGO. And the people in this game is quite toxic. In csgo, there are guidelines that you aren't supposed to be toxic. And I barely heard any toxic players recently. Other than Face it. So in my opinion, I prefer CSGO. While Riot Games Said It's INSPIRED… SO STOP HATING. It's still quite fun with friends.
