Counter Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most challenging first-person shooter games on the market. It carries a steep learning curve due to its varying spray patterns between guns. Team coordination is key to winning games, unfortunately the game is plagued with individuals who are too stubborn to cooperate. It is highly recommended that you play the game with friends if you want to win. Despite this the game is offers plenty of hours of content through a variety of gamemodes and the occasional operation update.

The community is toxic and as you progress through the ranks it only worsens. On top of this, there are an abundance of hackers in the game making regular matchmaking games difficult to enjoy. Having played this game for more five years, Valve has rarely addressed the issue and it will likely go unresolved. With the game being free-to-play the issue has only grown.

Overall, the game may have its issues, but with friends or wanting a new challenge I recommend this game.
