#Edit (after 450+ hrs) and Season 3: Many of the stability issues have been addressed, DMZ has become a lot more stable and fun. Multiplayer is a lot more solid, and less laggy. Maps are hit and miss, but its way more fun compared to my original review.

I would say with the amount of content and bug fixes of Season 3, this game has come a long way and is worth the money.

Played over 300+ hrs on this, and can safely say: the game is chock-full of bugs. Shaders absolutely broken, missions unplayable because the sun is shining into your eyes... whilst you are underground. Lights blind you from across the map. The game crashes at every opportunity it can. Did Skype decide to stop in the background? Game crashes. Did a new entry get put into your windows cache? crash. Did your internet drop out for 2ms? Game crashes. Whose brilliant idea was to tie the game to Steam servers? If steam goes down for maintenance, you better hope you are not running a DMZ mission because you'll lose everything. For no fault of your own.
Multiplayer is fun, but becomes samey.

TL;DR: Game is full of bugs, not worth the premium price as a result, but based on $/min, it will eventually balance itself out.

Would recommend? Would? Should more like! To paraphrase a review; the game has grind in it. Wait, no, the game IS grind. But they managed to get the grind to be fun, and unobtrusive" In a nutshell; "spaceninjasfreetoplaygrindgrindgrind game." Has amazing lore, constantly gets updated, devs are active and have bi-weekly devstreams, and listen to community input.

Also, after 4 years of beta, the newest update (plains of Eidolon -as of writing the review) completely changes the norm of what we come to expect from the game. The rat race mazes that the players have come to expect received an open 3-5 sq km free roam area.

This game constantly surprises me with its innovative design directions, and I cannot recommend it enough.

I have played quite a while on CS:GO now, and have come to the conclusion that this game is not what I wished the CS franchise would go into. It feels like a shady console port (with the rotational buy wheel) and horrid recoil system.

It feels that skill is not as great of a factor as luck is, and it really ruined my experience. Especially now with the introduction of random lags, and BF4s microstuttering.

I personally will stick to CSS and wait for a better developed, more thought out CS game, as this version is just silly, and bad.

Pros: Fancy graphics, nice touch on the voices.
Cons: horrible recoil, luck based game play, unplayable microstuttering and fps drops, console ported buy wheel, unrealistic feel, custom skins (seriosuly? COD and BF4...), micropurchases, all round bad experience.
