Nov 13, 2012The Game is good! The engine works, the Grphic and sound is good, The new Modi´s and weapons are good and the Gameplay is like CS:S, so nothing is changed! CS:GO is a good game for a lot of players how played CS:S, but i like more the Big-Map-Ego-Shooter, like BF3, with tanks and heli´s!
But it is a good game, you can buy it or not...
How you like... -
May 14, 2022CS:GO is simply the best competitive FPS on the market, and it will be for years to come. It has its obvious flaws, such as cheaters and smurfing. However, at the core of the heart the mechanics, the feeling, the amount of content and its depth makes it an undisputable champion of fun and fullfilment achieving progress and skill.
-
Nov 21, 2015The hitboxes and the way the weapons shoots now makes the game boring for me. Its more battlefield like now, and I dont like that. Maybe its more realistic, but for me a game should not be realistic to be good. I prefer Cs:s and global offensive is no improvement for me.

Dec 29, 2013A solid upgrade to the Counter-Strike series. GO contains basically just revamped maps, weapons, and UI elements along with a store for you to buy cosmetic items. This isn't a sequel so it doesn't offer much innovation, but it is priced appropriately. The core mechanics still need to be tuned up to bring this series into its next generation.

Dec 11, 2012For those wanting a back-to-basics multiplayer shooter or a more polished version of Counter-Strike: Source, CS:GO might be right up your alley. If you're looking for drastic changes over the previous Counter-Strikes or you enjoy unlocking weapon and perk unlocks, then don't bother.

Feb 13, 2019I think this is a very respectable title if compared to the very influential original CS. It brings the same things to the table: realism, tense competition, and some of the best action I've experienced in a game.
My favourite mode is Competitive, as I think it is the only mode that truly sticks to the essence. -
Sep 17, 2021And the most disgusting part of the whole is when people compliment each other like "nice (head)shot", "nice kill" and the eSport fans just yell and acclaim while watching others killing each other in full trance and euphoria. This is not game anymore, people just can't see it.
-
Nov 28, 2012Beta-tested for this and now updating my review: At first I didn't like the CS:GO because it seemed like it was trying too hard to be something it's not (COD), but having tried the launch version of the game I see some improvements and gameplay that I think is enjoyable. If you're more of a casual gamer then I can see you enjoying this more than CS:S or 1.6
-
Nov 12, 2012Never played the original. The game is exceptionally fun, but seems to have a lot of issues. First off, having a high ping seems to make the game exceptionally easier, which is unfair to other players. Next I haven't been able to get into the competitive matchmaking, huge shame there. Finally for a competitive title the leaderboard seems messed up. Not up to Valves typical quality.

Jan 17, 2013Pelo tempo que demorou a lançar... e a falta de inovação... a note deveria ser até menor. Decepcionado, o Source sem mostra bem melhor.

Jan 8, 2015CS: GO is a competitive game, which is both fun and challenging. There are hackers in this game which they know where players are and also when you walk around a corner they shoot you before you can shoot them. If you do plan on playing this game, I recommend using ESEA to play with no hackers. But sadly with ESEA you cant rank up your account due to you would be playing on ESEA's private servers.

Mar 26, 2013Fun game, brings me back to when I was in middle school and would spend time playing this game. Reason I really enjoy it is because ranks, guns, etc do not matter like in COD. It's just fun to kill time with, and people playing really use tactics...which I enjoy

Jan 7, 2015A few years ago I wouldn't have even touched this game because it has a steep learning curve but last year I bought it on steam and I'm glad I did. It's a lot of fun. There aren't any classes or a level up system but it's pure tactical awesomeness.
8/10 -
Sep 16, 2014At first I didn't like it, but then they changed a lot of bugs, and annoying things that happened with this version, and the older ones. Now it's a pretty fun game, and you can use pretty much all the weapons, not just AWP, or Ak-47.
I am still a little sucker for the old CS 1.6 times, but this one definitely gave me the "I want to play more" feeling that I usually got from 1.6 4 years ago. -
Jun 2, 2014This game is good but it has some problems.,That VAC system is useless..Sometimes in competitive i play with retards that are cheating and peoples ranks are going down..In rest the game is good but never perfect.
-
Jun 5, 2014Overall a lot of fun- BUT so many bugs! Mouse disappearing, crosshair disappearing, crashing of the game, etc. It is a bit ridiculous. I expected a game with such high ratings to be more stable than this............
-
Feb 22, 2018There is always something unsettling about Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Everything is put together in a seemingly flawless way, yet it does not feel right at all.

Sep 7, 2015Fairly good FPS game, it is moderately hard for beginners but once you get into the swing it is fun and enjoyable. The rank system is controlled and well made. What I find is the issue with Counterstrike is the fact that it isn't much different to all the other FPS games.

Nov 24, 2014Nice update to graphics, like most people here I've been playing since 1.6, played mostly source. I used to scout exclusively in source but GO has completely change accuracy, speed, zoom ... basically everything about the scout sucks now ... disappointed.
-
Mar 22, 2015If you are going to sell the game, at least stop with the microtransactions, will you? Besides that, gameplay is solid, not much improvments since last Counter Strike. It's low score is mostly because of the microtransactions.

Mar 4, 2015One of the best counter-strike games(Or fps for that matter). It keeps it original simplicity with some additional new features.
If you love FPS games, this game should be in your library ASAP! -

Apr 4, 2015Excellent game. This is what FPS gaming is all about. Focused competitive gameplay yet not moving away from the traditional counter-strike formula. CSGO is a winner and will continue to grow.. Long live CSGO!
-
Apr 19, 2015This is a simply amazing game for the competitive players and their casual counterparts with an item system like in any other recent Valve game (DOTA 2, Team Fortress 2) that adds a lot more to the game.
-
Jun 20, 2015You are either wasting your time or winning.
There are no compromises or hand holding.
You suck because you're too scared to adapt.
FPSs can't get more realistic than this one. -

Jul 5, 2016Quite a good game in general. However much slower than my favourite q3a, and there is too much luck factor involved. The problem is that it is ruined by meaningless skin/stamps. Who cares for that childish stuff? People are paying real money for pink ak-47 and rainbow knives? There should be an option to turn off custom skins.
-
Mar 8, 2018Many years later, this game developed into (arguably) the most skill based competitive shooter in existence. This game is the epitome of easy to learn hard to master and it's both complex and simple at the same time.
-
May 9, 2018Geeignet für Vielspieler, Leute, die kompetitive Teamspiele lieben, Shootern etwas abgewinnen können und sich in einem leistungsorientierten Setting wohl fühlen.
-
Nov 24, 2015A truely great experience for players to encounter after the original 1.6 & Source, along with inpecable graphics. A game that gun-lovers would die for.
Graphics: 9/10
Sound effects: 8/10
Game-mode: 7/10
Online server: 9/10 -

May 8, 2016good game but hackers.... hackers destroying this game. i remember source and cs 1.6 its my favorite fps games but on cs 1.6 sile have hackers too much.
-
Jun 22, 2016STILL better then CoD.
Nice of them to incorporate gungame as an official gametype. I could care less about skins, but all your favorite server mods from CS:S are back: zombiemod, warcraft: source, and so on. There are some new guns and such, but CS:GO is more of a graphical overhaul then anything else. It's Counter-Strike: you know what to expect. -

Jun 24, 2020Awesome game, if you do not suck at gaming.
Good if you want to learn some russian! -
Mar 27, 2021One-dimensional camping pro positional shooter. I gave it a 2/10 because Valorant set the new low. At least guns here feel solid (still nothing compared to Apex Legends).

Dec 30, 2016Me hes dificil darle más nota a este juego, pues he tenido una cantidad de problemas técnicos que no me han sucedido con ningun otro juego. Estos problemas van desde lag sin razon, hasta problemas en los que no me toma el teclado ni el mouse y problemas en los que el juego se bugea y no me deja unirme a partidas.
Como juego es bueno, pero tiene demasiados errores técnicos. -

Mar 14, 2017Pros:
+ Easy for beginning players
+ Addictive game play.
+ Requires teamplay
Cons:
- Negative community
- A lot of cheaters
+/- Simple
Game based on eSport and old "1.6" / "Source" success
Good simple shooter if you like to play with friends.
SCORE: 65/100 -
Apr 7, 2017BEST GAMBILING GAME EVER. You can go on ANY WEBSITE and get skins to sell. I mean what other gambiling game is ther that you can go on ANY WEBSITE and get free money!!! I dont know what the "play" button does but im sure that it just automatically finds a website for you. 10/10!!!!
-
Apr 15, 2017This game does not have much to do, and most of the time comp is played on one map Dust 2. Also some players are just toxic, some people hack to this date. Oh and valve doesn't even care from what it looks like they just want to profit off of skins.
-
Dec 7, 2022A great competitive game to play with friends and people around the world. Microtransactions suck though.

Feb 2, 2018I love this game. It is probably my favorite game. The gun mechanics are fantastic and I will play this game more in the future. My only complaint is the VAC as cheaters are an annoyance, and so are smurfs.
-
Feb 11, 2018Competitive is only enjoyable if you have friends and Prime,
Community servers are filled with toxic people but you can mute anyone,
So it can be a pretty good game if you know what you're doing,
Doesn't need a monster pc to run it. -

Sep 26, 2018This game is a must have for every pc gamer. Its gameplay is addictive and very good. The graphics are beautiful and the game can run on your grandma's toaster. The ranking system isn't very good but its ok. The game is worth every cent you pay and I recommend it.

Jul 6, 2023Playing MM as a solo is nearly impossible. Always one stupid become your teammate. Also, the CS:2 update is going to be late. If Valorant didn't show up, our beloved Source 2 update would never come out.
At least while playing with 4 friends, this game is still fun. Not fun as CS:S, but anyways. -
Sep 15, 2018So... This game is the 4th game of CS series, a really famous FPS game series.
This game is recommend to play in 1080p to get the best experience... -
