5/10
Valorant is a game I tried because I already enjoyed League of Legends and wanted to see what Riot could do with a competitive shooter. Unfortunately, it didn’t really click with me.
The biggest problem is that it feels very similar to Counter-Strike, but with an additional layer of complexity because of the different agents and their abilities. Instead of feeling like a completely new experience, it often felt to me like a more complicated version of Counter-Strike with powers added on top.
I can understand why people enjoy the combination of tactical shooting and abilities, and there is clearly a lot of depth to master, but personally I didn’t find it particularly appealing. It’s not necessarily a bad game, just a formula that didn’t work for me.
