Valorant is a casual, browser-based hero shooter developed by Riot Games and released for Microsoft Windows, using the Winry Team's RealTek 3.5 platform. First teaser was under the codename Project A at the end of October 2007, with the game set to have an open beta phase between May and June 2020, with an official release followed by an open beta phase later in the year. There's also a free trial available. The game is primarily an action-adventure multiplayer browser game, where you'll be playing as either a hardcore veteran or a brand new player.

As soon as the game was announced, it immediately became one of the most anticipated PC games of the year. The game promises great graphic quality, high frame rates and advanced multiplayer features that include chat, voice channels, Steam integration and achievements. However, there are some major differences from the previous titles in the genre. The game is definitely more action based and cartoonish in style.

The first thing that struck me while playing the game is that it's got more of a cartoon-style art style. Characters like Ghost, Squig, Vulture and Syrup resemble early versions of Batman and Robin, with most of them using an array of gadgets and weapons from previous games. Weapons range from crowbars to wrenches and even staves. Sexy baccarat of the non-player characters include Jaws, Killer Crocodile and Parasite. There's even a minigame for those who don't want to get into multiplayer - a version of the game played with a bomb defusal device.

One of the major differences I found with this game is that you have to move through levels using various methods. If you hit an obstacle in the level, a flag will appear and you must navigate back to start playing. There are several unlockables in the game as well, including items that restore health and give you a boost for playing certain challenges.

For anyone who has played the previous versions of this game on the PC, you know how much content this version has. The levels range from very easy to very difficult, with tons of content available. Some of the challenges require skill, while others are very simple to complete. It's really good to be able to jump right into the middle of a high-end battle and continue playing from there.

The visuals are very nice to look at. The environments are designed to look photorealistic and feature very little polygonal detail. The character models themselves look very lifelike, giving you a good idea of what they'll look like when they are fully dressed. The weapons and costumes look as close to their real life counterpart as possible, with details including clothing, hair and facial makeup.

One of the biggest drawbacks I see in this game is the lack of variety. You get four classes, and each one seems to only specialize in a certain aspect of the game. It can get a little confusing as to whether you should focus your attention on a particular class or not.

Overall, Valorant lives up to its hype as a highly entertaining game. The storyline is engaging, and the overall look and feel of the game are quite nice. Graphics are above average, and the overall value of the game means that it's perfect for those who enjoy online action games with a lot of interactivity. Those interested in picking up a sci-fi or fantasy title will find this to be a great introduction and those looking for a solid dungeon crawling experience will have plenty to sink their teeth into.
