Valorizationthe famous tactical shooter game from Riot Gamesis finally set to arrive on consoles. Since practically its launch in 2020, There have been rumors of this title coming to consoles. Today, this rumor has become reality. And recently, we had the opportunity to Take control of this popular shooter in its closed beta.

As you well know, It is very rare to find tactical shooters like Valorization Or Counter Strike on consoles. We are facing a genre that is generally monopolized on PC due to the characteristics of its gameplay. Games where the aim must be millimeter, where every step counts and that generally have a slower pace. However, although at first it may seem strange to take control of a game of this type, the reality is that, Valorization We feel very good after a few games.

Prepared for battle

In case you didn’t know anything ValorizationYou should know that we are facing a game that draws mainly on the essence of Counter Strike. In this case, These are two teams of 5 players competing for an objective, the attacking team will have to plant the Spike (a kind of bomb), while the defender will have to prevent it. The game ends when a team reaches 13 victories. In the twelfth round, the teams change roles. In addition, between rounds, as in the Valve title, we will have a purchase phase, where we can stock up.

The main difference that adds Valorization This concept resides in its Agents. Agents have unique abilities that will be essential during rounds. Of course, we will only have one skill available at the beginning of each round, the rest will have to be acquired in the store. To be clear, they would be comparable to grenades in other games of the genre. Skills add a new level of difficulty to the title in terms of money management. Choosing what to buy each round is a little more complicated.

In addition to this, Skills have a big impact on what happens in the game. Being able to perform a small teleport or blind enemies can be very advantageous.

In control of Valorant

That said, at this point we’re not going to find out Valorizationa game that has had a great marketing campaign and has been played by thousands of players. So let’s get to the news. Valorization arrives on consoles with a virtually perfect fit to the order. In the games I’ve been able to enjoy, I’ve felt very comfortable with the game’s behavior on a console controller. Obviously, we won’t have the speed we have in systems like mouse and keyboard, but the experience is really satisfying. Not only in the aiming, but also in the way the skills have been integrated into the pad.

In itself, everything is going well. Even if it is true, It will take us a few games to get used to its game system, once this barrier is crossed, we will be able to enjoy it without problem. Another point to consider is performance. Even though it is a beta version, the game does not show any trace of FPS drops or minimal performance issues. Likewise, their servers are very well maintained so we will have a minimum ping in your games. Something that is appreciated.

Even though it is true that We are not facing a technical marvelThe game runs with astonishing fluidity, meaning that we don’t waste a single millisecond moving our aim.

Finally, the game offers and encourages us to play as a team. It’s very easy to play with friends, so you pretty much just start the game and search for a game. With all this, I think that the leap that has been made Valorization This is quite an accomplishment. It’s hard to fault an experience as rounded as the one the Riot team has made. From there, we can’t wait to enjoy the final version.
