The gun god is holding me at golden gunpoint to write a review so might as well do it now before I get turned into golden swiss cheese

This game is HARD, but it's one of those games that gets progressively easier as you learn your way around it. The controls are simple and easy to learn and it's very playable on either controller or keyboard and mouse. Your objective is to reach the nuclear throne, the run should be around 15 minutes long, but if you die you start from the beginning. As you progress through the levels you'll meet tougher enemies, find better guns, and you'll level up and earn mutations which enhance your character's abilities. Most weapons feel fun to use and you can beat the game with as little as the starter revolver if you're good enough. The key is in learning how every enemy works, they're all very predictable, just don't let them gang up on you if possible.

What makes the game so replayable is the levels being generated randomly, the weapons you find being random but being potentially better the farther you've gone, and the mutation choices being different each run. No two runs are exactly the same. You can loop the game by defeating the final boss in a certain way, which will put you back at the desert while keeping your weapons and mutations, and with different enemies and much higher difficulty. You can do this over and over again and keep getting farther in the game. There's also a lot of replay value in trying specific weapon and mutation combos and trying to take them as far as possible, this is one of my favorite things. Trying to push better distances is also one of the big factors making this game so fun, you'll feel how you've improved at the game each time you beat your best run.

Even when you get good, it'll take every opportunity to remind you that it's indeed a hard game. Letting your guard down at the wrong moment can mean the end of your whole run. This doesn't mean you need to play perfect, if you make the right choices you can make fatal mistakes and still keep the run going. Pick your mutations wisely.

Regardless of the price I'd definitely recommend this game, it's hard to make a short summary on why it's so good. It may not be for everyone due to the high difficulty, but it's suited for players who like challenging games. It's also well suited for short sessions, but you can definitely play this for a while if you have the time. There's a fair amount of unlockables and achievements that you can hunt for, and there are also daily and weekly challenges with leaderboards if you'd like to compete for the highest score in an equal setting against other players.

I'm just glad I can't smell this game lol

I'm gonna smoke you and your entire legacy

This game sucks big time. I'm global with 5k hours and valve has destroyed it. CS:GO is dead.

Reasons:

1) 64 tick servers. 128 tick is incredibly important or else the game is impossible to play. I can't join 64 tick servers without my computer bursting in flames from how old it is, just like 64 tick. That stuff is technology from the '60s. Every other game I play online has 512 tick servers, we're not asking for much.

2) Cheaters. Everywhere I go there's cheaters. I have never cheated. I only use a slight aim assistance so I can compete with the rest of global cheaters. My teammates are always braindead and can't even turn on their own computer so I always end up losing because of them. Whenever they teamkill me I teamkill them back but then I get 7 day ban instantly while they get nothing. This is unfair and the game is dead because of it. There is also no anti-cheat, VAC is a joke and valve only spends resources making more ugly covert skins that'll end up in a case no one cares about.

3) The price. It should be $600 dollars so no cheaters will buy it ever again. Only the most dedicated players will acquire this game, which is how it should be. The noobs at silver can suck it, they are not people.

4) Skins. Valve destroyed their game with the trade ban back in march, now my $2500 dollar inventory is only worth $2450. Complete waste of money.

5) The matchmaking system. I'm global so I no longer have a reason to play. They should add 18 more ranks after global. Silvers can go eat dirt... that is, if they're smart enough to do that. Ranking systems are the only reason I use a computer nowadays.

6) The UI. This game looks like a game made in the '90s, and they recently killed support for scaleform, the previous ui, in favor of panorama, a piece of dogfood ui made for kids that haven't even reached puberty. I willl not open this game again because I hate change and I don't want to learn a new ui. I don't trust anyone that says it has improved at all, it's probably the misinformed silvers talking nonsense.

7) Lack of gamemodes. Competitive is the only gamemode I play, the rest have no ranks. If you want to play anything other than competitive you have to go to community servers run by incompetent admins who ban you for being too good. They also lack ranks so they're a complete waste of time.

8) The absence of unranked competitive. Casual is a cheatfest that doesn't resemble real CS. They should add an unranked 5v5 mode so I can play with my noob eagle friends and finally have fair matches.


All the above points are a brief description of how bad this game is. CS:GO is an incredibly terrible purchase for anyone that hasn't already made the mistake of buying it. I hope that in the future they will also make it so noobs can't buy the game at all. Make them pass an IQ test first, because everyone in the silver ranks lacks the intelligence that characterizes human beings. Therefore they're not people and have no rights.

Until they fix matchmaking I'll go play ESEA and FACEIT. I spelled those with proper capitalization because they earned the right. They actually care about the game, unlike valve.
