For Honor vs Valorant
For Honor
For Honor is a team-based, competitive melee brawler where knights, vikings and samurais duke it out on various gorgeously-designed, arena-like battlefields. Unlike many brawlers, however, this game includes some elements of MOBAs and MMOFPS games in it, specifically the presence of normal AI-controlled soldiers (a.k.a. creeps) and also the need to capture several objective points around the map, sometimes with the help of said soldiers, and hold it to earn points for your team.The gameplay is astounding as well. Featuring an intuitive, action-based combat system, the game places a lot of emphasis on knowing your enemy and predicting what they will do as you alternate between blocking your opponent's blows and dishing some of your own. Having situational and battlefield awareness is crucial too, since most of the time, it's better to let an enemy take a capture point rather than getting hemmed in by him and his reinforcements and dying pointlessly in the process.
You also get to customize your characters in For Honor, changing their weapon sets to fit your play style or swapping cooler outfits so you can look good when you deal that final blow. In addition to its multiplayer component, which is frankly the main part of the game, For Honor also features a single-player campaign where you'll get to battle challenging bosses.
Although the game didn't get as rave a review as Ubisoft might have expected, For Honor is still a pretty decent melee brawler with breathtaking graphics, which features the mightiest and most fearless warriors in humanity's brief stint on Earth. The game is a buy-to-play with microtransactions (cosmetics mainly).
Valorant
Valorant is, to put it simply, the "baby" of Counter-Strike and Apex Legends. The game is a tactical 5v5 team-based first-person shooter where you get to play as one of the game’s many agents, each with their own skills and abilities. You’ll go in with your team and fight in well-crafted maps in two rounds consisting of the gameplay loop of planting a bomb to destroy two objective points and preventing the other team from doing so. The game has robust leaderboards and ranking systems. Rise through the ranks with your team, start getting wins, and put your name on top of the leaderboard.In Valorant, you’ll be able to take control of one of its agents per game, ranging from Sova the Russian Scout, Viper the chemist, and Breach. The agents have a unique array of abilities and roles, ranging from the attack-oriented Duelist, the disruptive Initiator, and the supportive Sentinel. Moreover, no FPS is complete without guns, and you will be able to use a wide range of weapons from shotguns to assault rifles and snipers. And yes, you’ll be able to buy weapons like Counter-Strike, and use skills and abilities like in Apex Legends.
Overall, Valorant is a must-play if you’re looking for an action-packed competitive FPS. It’s a great game to play with friends and is another masterpiece by Riot games.
