The gunplay of Valorant feels very counter strike, you will feel right at home if you enjoy the shooting in that, and will already be ready to fuck people up. I don't enjoy the abilities though, would greatly prefer the game without those. Only a few of them feel overpowered though, and they are constantly nerfing them already.
Also the maps are pretty fucking boring. Which should be no surprise considering how long it takes to make a good map in something like cs, takes fucking years of changes for them to be properly good. So the idea of trying to make a map with fucking 3 bombsites on, when they havent even proven they can nail 2 yet, is a bit stupid.
Visual style is very overwatch/freemium, which I hate. On the positive side though, it does elimate some of the problems of csgo. Like with smokes, there is always an understanding of if you can see the opponent or if he can see you. None of this particle shit like in cs, where it constantly seems to give an unfair advantage to one part. But again, the downside is they are ugly as fuck and cartoonish. So yeah, I would say it's a lot closer to csgo than any other game, and that's a good thing I think. Easily the best team based competitive shooter out there.
Riot is also a shit company though, so fuck them. Somehow way worse than Valve. Very happy to see that Valorant is pushing Valve to reguarly update their fucking cash cow of a game though. Hopefully we get 128 tick servers on match making soon.
