The best of the best of all team-based first-person shooters.
Easily a high score because the mechanics are so simple yet so complex
The guns are easy to understand
Maps are just good and well-made, it feels like every corner of most competitive maps have been explored and examined thoroughly
9/10
lol that extra 1 point the game is missing comes from the competitive community. it's toxic, very very toxic.

a lot more has changed about me than this game since the last review update, like, its unreal how good this game is and how little care valve has for it. they'll go ahead and kill previously green-lit CS fan games but theyll refuse to update the actual game. actually disgusting.
i'm only positively reviewing it because the game is genuinely good. solid. i recommend it, but once you get to this many hours and no new content is being pushed out, besides cosmetics, it gets stale. so stale. i wish valorant didnt fall off, so CS could have some competition, because this is abhorrent. since ranks dont matter either, i only queue nowadays to meet new people. youll get to a certain specific rank pool and itll be riddled with cheaters, and the leaderboard isnt even real, its just cheaters. gross.
