Review of Valorant

Valorant (2020 Video Game)
5/10
Great art direction, old and clunky gameplay
4 October 2020
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The gameplay is a mess, it's clunky, it feels very slow, the shooting and movement mechanics are outdated and missing modern features, like vaulting, climbing, sprinting.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.
