Best competitive game I have ever played. You will rarely encounter bugs in this game, since over the years Valve has done a great job squashing them. The game is only challenging because the skill ceiling is very high, and at this point there are many players out there who have spent a lot of time in the game. CSGO made me a more social gamer too. In every game there's someone with a mic on your team, and working out a strategy mid round with them on the fly is very rewarding if it works. The gameplay is slow enough that you can do this, yet can have moments packed with action that keep even my adrenaline pumping at this many hours. If you're like me, when I first saw this game, I thought the graphics sucked. I even quit for a month after the first time playing because it was difficult to perform well. I came back though because the pacing of the game along with the mechanics makes for amazing gameplay. I give this game a 9.9 /10 because over the years there have been some choices in terms of updates that making me question the leadership of the game, but otherwise Valve is great.
