#5: Valorant

Man I kinda suck at this game, but I still really enjoy it when I'm playing against people who are around my skill level. Valorant, being a multiplayer-only tactical shooter, requires a good amount of precision and practice before you're ready to face off against most of the online players, as they're already ready to pre-aim your head and one-tap you if you're not careful. I just recently got a gaming PC and this is the first shooter I've played with a keyboard & mouse, so I'm not quite good enough to handle that just yet, but one day I'll be hitting heads too.

What I like most about Valorant is the variety of the playable characters. No agent plays the same as another, even within each of the 4 classes (Duelist, Controller, Sentinel, and Initiator). For example, Brimstone and Omen are both controllers who have smokes to block off sightlines, but Brimstone has an AOE attack to hold back enemies and flush out corners, while Omen has a blinding ability and teleports. So even though these two agents can fill a similar role, Brimstone has more passive or defensive-leaning abilities and Omen has a bit more offensive potential.

If I had any complaints, it'd be that 1) as I said, I kinda suck at it, and 2) the random factor in recoil and lack of complete first-shot accuracy with some weapons frequently has me second-guessing my already shoddy aiming. For the most part, Valorant is a finely crafted shooter that comes packed with challenge and excitement.
