Counter-Strike: Global Offensive review
Exceptional
by Notly

This game is a reinvention of the idea of «Counter-Strike».

I can understand why old «CS 1.6» fans might not like it. «CS GO» is made for a completely different audience and mostly for the younger generation.

It's not as minimalistic as «1.6», but it has a lot more logic and variety. More than 9 game modes that are completely different. Also the game itself is more fun.

I personally like the appearance of logic and some sort of game lore. Each map has its own set of factions of terrorists and counter-terrorists, which corresponds to location or country in which the operation. It's very immersive.

"CS:GO" is an excellent game that will teach you how to work as a team, give you literally thousands of hours of gameplay and really cool people to play with. It has the impecable gameplay and design of CS 1.6 and takes it to another level with a better engine and improved visuals. The gameplay of "Counter Strike" is unique, it's full adrenaline, tense moments and euphoria when you win a close game or a key round. This game is a MUST have, now that it is free to play theres no excuse to try such a wonderful game. CS:GO is THE competitive multiplayer FPS game, even in 2021!

Best FPS competitive shooter in modern esports history. Prove me wrong. 
Started as Silver 3, solo queued to Global Elite, ended the game as Legendary Eagle Master. Thousands of hours spent on this game. I miss it every day.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the definition of a proper first person shooter. Easy to learn, practically impossible to master. The closest anyone has ever come to mastering the game is Astralis & even then they could not win every single competition, only the majors. When I want to play a great shooter, I don't think twice, I just open CS:GO, it's that simple. This franchise made the AWP a household name & for good reason. The only thing this game is missing is the Arctic Avengers & Crackhouse on official servers.
