Gameplay:

This game much like, but also more so than the other Counter-Strike series is very competitive and even has its own game mode for such a style of gameplay. It's noticeably more competitive due to its live streams on Twitch and hosted events, this means that this games requires you to be more aware of your surroundings, being a better team player and good team leader. At times it requires to be a lone wolf and get new common self-awards such as a 'clutch' or an 'ace' AKA finishing off the opposing team as the last man standing. Compared to games like Call of Duty which I consider very fast paced, this game takes things slow and even with a 2 minute time limit you are required to take precautions before moving in.

Graphics:

Although I'm not bothered about graphics and doesn't really play a major factor in my decisions of getting games, these graphics have definitely improved from the previous Valve engine and still have that Counter-Strike feel. Some maps of course are imported from previous Counter-Strike games, and therefore have that similar but still fresh look, however the new maps have a definite sense of improvement and renewed style.

Controls & Movement:

The controls to this game are exactly the same to the other Counter-Strike series and therefore has it's playability output increased however, for those new to the game and have played previous game such as Call of Duty and Battlefield etc, getting used to this may prove difficult to some. The controls to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive are quite simple but getting used to the way the mechanics move may take a small amount of time. That's the good thing about Counter-Strike though, it's a reasonably easy game to get into but difficult to master, although with help from community workshop maps that help improve accuracy, you'll be able to have a small advantage.

Conclusion:

Overall this game is fantastic, bringing a classic FPS to a new generation of games. This games requires skill and isn't all about shooting first and thinking after, especially in competitive situations. Playing with friends is easily still really fun and has a user-friendly interface. Even though there's the addition of buying weapon skins etc, I find that's a bonus to the game if you're really committed. I think that, this is a game where you can endlessly rack countless hours up and be none the wiser.
