Literally the most competitive fps game in the world, you can ignore the reviews from people with nostalgia who say previous games in the series were better. CS:GO's problems are well known and have received a lot of complaints from the community, but that's mostly because the game is so well studied and analyzed, people just don't bother to complaint about COD's hitregs, or Fortnite's 30-tick servers.

I think CS:GO is the only active game that's played so much that these things matter. Sure it has flaws, but there's little game that has been polished and balanced to the point that CS:GO has been for the last 8 years, and no e-sports formula has been tested and perfected as much as Counter-Strike's core gameplay.
