Those are the 10 features of Valorant that set it apart from Counter-Strike. Many would argue that they are essentially the same game and at their core perhaps they are right, but Riot Games has tweaked and added enough so that Valorant very much stands on its own feet and offers an experience not yet found in the FPS genre.

I admit that I was one of those who initially condemned it as being a 'CS rip-off', but the more I played it the more I understood and appreciated Riot Games' vision of bringing back the old-school-style shooter and reinventing it. Valorant is both nostalgic and refreshing and has succeeded in blending the old with the new like no other game has ever done before.

Ever since I saw BJ grin as he picked up the chain gun in Wolfenstein 3D, I've been hooked on video games. My first love, however, was Counter-Strike 1.3 and I would beg my mom to take me to Internet cafés just so I could play it. The other two games that captured my heart were World of Warcraft and Quake, though I play all sorts of games (especially of the competitive multiplayer type). Oh, and I love dwarves and write fantasy stories about them in my free time.
