Valorant, the popular competitive shooter game from Riot Games, has been a huge hit for its MOBA-like take on the shooter genre. However, this isn’t the only shooter game on the market in 2022 that provides this unique experience.

Titles like Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, and others have paved the way for shooters in the past and have impacted the genre itself in a huge way. For instance, Riot's take on competitive shooter games finds close resemblance to CSGO in terms of gameplay, however, it still stands out as it introduces new elements.
