Ingress vs Valorant
Ingress
Ingress is one of the world's first augmented reality game that uses Google Maps as a core part of its gameplay. The predecessor of games like Pokemon Go, Ingress, lets you side with either "The Enlightened" who embraces the energy and wants to use it, or "The Resistance" who refuses to let the foreign force taint our humanity, in a heated conflict over the control of a powerful yet mysterious force unearthed by a team of scientists in Europe.The game will have you tap on various sources of the energy to acquire items to aid you in your quest, deploy advanced tech to capture territories for your faction and work cooperatively with other players from your side to advance the goal of your faction.
Ingress is the first of its kind to completely transform the way you see the world. The way the game seems to merge seamlessly with the real world makes the game more relatable to its players, allowing them to really feel as though they are a part of the action rather than playing the game through an avatar like a traditional RPG.
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.
