Play this game. Stop reading reviews. Stop looking stuff up. You're only going to spoil yourself. It's about five hours long. It's free. Even if this isn't the type of game you'd normally play, just play it.

We are going to make a giant wall around our base and we going to make the cannibals pay for it!

Nein out Of Ten With Uncut Patch

Great game, with amazing potential. But lack of developer trancparency and rampant cheating will lead to it's downfall.

Lets start this off by saying V.A.C. is a joke... it doesn't do much other than be a meme for the community to bash on. Valve makes billions of micro transaction and yet does nothing to improve player experience by cracking down on cheaters and hackers. Every low skill competetive game is full of smurfs (players with alot of experience playing in lower level games) and or hackers. Valves overwatch program catches non cheating players who happen to have a streak of good games/plays, and fails to capture the "closet hackers" - or people who use hacks, but play a style that makes it seem they don't.

"Prime Matchmaking" failed to deliver on it's goal of seperating out cheaters/smurfs from players who wan't to play against players their skill level and have a good time. It was a good idea, worked at first, but if a player can get a program undetectable by VAC, how hard is it for them to buy Prime Ready Accounts, and get access to a phone number?

Rumors have been spreading on community forums that Valve is in the works of a "Super VAC" yet it's been 5 or so years since the games launch, and they yet to deliver on anything more than in game accessories (gun skins, stickers, music kits, GLOVES, pins, etc) and questionable mechanic changes. I understand they want to make money - but who is going to buy their products when no one is around because of the shakey servers and toxic/hacking community.

I'm extremely disappointed in Valve - like many others, this review will get drowned in the vastness of QQ and phony reviews. There is only one way to getting Valve to act...

Boycott all Valve microtransactions. I'm am no longer buying any more products through Counter Strike or any other valve game until they make reforms to matchmaking. When they have they revenue stream in jeopardy - only then will they listen to player/community concerns and start making changes we want/need to see.

For current players, I feel your struggle, hear your cries, and share your rage. Stop purchasing valve skins, keys, kits, pins, whatever. Stop using the community market and boycott all valve micro transactions.

For future players - hold off from playing this game, the current experience will only turn you away and make your want to quit before you have seen the small glimor of light that is the csgo community. As well, don't purchase the game unless you are ready to pay 5$ a month for a 3rd party subscrition in order to have a decent competetive experience.

TL:DR - Game has potential, but too many hackers. Valve doesnt do ENOUGH to remedy the issues...
Use your wallet as your voice, stop buying Valve related products (including your favorite skins) until our concerns and issues are addressed and fixed.

nice game if played with friends
