CS:GO Review
Really sophisticated game in terms of interaction with other players, of course, if they indeed happen to be serious about appropriate team relations.

But CS:GO is actually not responsible for who are you teaming up with, it naturally is a case-dependent situation. About a game itself, it is really a simple FPS with plenty of different, interesting game modes. Certainly, competitive matchmaking is one of the most playable, serious, irritating and time-consuming modes, but it indefinitely gives you a vibe of your importance in the team (moreover if you're a good player on a "daily basis"). This mode is all about tension: there are no respawns during rounds, so once you die, all you can do is watch and anxiously hope that your team detonates/defuses the bomb or rescues/retains hostages successfully.

I do agree that there can be truly horrible people out there, but what happened to their moral features and human signs is not game's fault at all. But on the other hand you can "meet" some good people, and since cs:go is an international game, you can make friends with representatives of any nationality and i think it makes the game experience more captivating.

The game’s huge economy, which sees players trade for ever more ridiculous skins worth thousands of dollars in real money, is a testament to how deep it has its hooks into the PC community. Newcomers might find it bizarre, but if you want to see where many of the core pillars of modern multiplayer shooters come from, look no further.

Each map is meticulously crafted to allow for myriad tactics requiring varying degrees of skill, and the lovingly modeled guns in your expansive arsenal all have minutiae in their firing rates and recoil that can only be learned through experience. CS:GO's skill ceiling is practically in the stratosphere, and it puts equal emphasis on cooperative teamwork and heroic moments where you get all the glory.
