Valuing

Developer:  Riot Games

Genre:  First Person Shooter

Release Date:  June 2, 2020

Platform:  Computer

We can say that Valorant, where you enter online matches by creating multiplayer teams, has shaken the throne of CSGO, which has settled on the throne of FPS, that is, first person shooter. In the game, where characters complete mission objectives using various weapons and special abilities, you have to knock down your opponents by entering competitive matches. In matches played with 5-on-5 teams for approximately 25 rounds, one of the teams tries to set a bomb, the other tries to solve it, or even to prevent the bomb from being set in the first place. For those who are used to CSGO, we can say that Valorant is one of the must-try among online games, although it may take some time to get used to the shooting settings of Valorant, which is similar to CSGO with its weapon economy, map design and shooting styles.
