Actually a garbage game. I just reinstalled it to see if i'd enjoy it again, nope.

The fighting is bland and boring.

this isnt an assassins creed game fullstop

This is an alright game to the Assassins Creed series. However, I don't find the story as intense and great as the previous games like Assassins Creed II. However I do like the idea of having a co-op mode, only downside is that the required hardware for this game is ridiculous, I was able to run Assassins Creed Syndicate perfectly fine on a GTX 670, i5, 16gb DDR2 Ram build, However had troubles running this game. Overall this game is alright, not the best. The declining parkour mechanics where smooth and nice but this game needs to be optimised in order for it to be somewhat decent to run on lower end PC's.

Great realistic military shooter. There are multiple mods and game modes. It ranges from Military simulation servers that can have custom mods to the DayZ mod which is an apocalyptic zombie survival mod. The campaign is also pretty good and there are some intense situations. Overall a great game to play with others or by yourself.

♥♥♥♥ game

Great Battle Royale game, more realistic than H1Z1, and it is great to play with friends as well as competitively! You can customise your character in-game. Worth playing and buying.

Fun game for sporty players to play due to it relating to football. You can customise you car as well as playing different game modes like rumble (Gives you different powerups during gameplay). Fun game to play with friends and it was worth the money!

Great game to play with friends. A lot of fun moments playing this game due to it being a huge map with a lot of things to do.

Great MOBA a variety of heroes to choose and a great experience and team building game for everyone. Every hero is unique which opens up a variety of roles to play.

Great game to play and muck around on with friends. Good for survival fans as well as base building freaks xD. Good game worth the money.

So I have over 2,500 hours on this game. It has brought joy and fun moments from my experiences but CS:GO and valve has also had its downfall. For all the new players trying out this game for the first time, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BUY PRIME. This game is now full of cheaters due to it being FTP, my best advice is to either grind out that lvl 21 (Or what ever it is) and get Prime, the downside is that you'll be joining games with a lot of cheaters and it could ruin you gaming experience due to VAC not being that responsive on good quality cheating software. OR buy it.

Some positives of this game are that; it has provided some great competitive moments. The whole idea behind the competitive ranking system was great. Only downside is how hard it is to rank up to higher ranks even if you don't belong in those lower ranks. If people are clearly getting 30-50 kills per game and are obviously destroying the opposition multiple times maybe you should have a re-calibration system. Otherwise it just creates an unfair gaming experience for both parties. Community servers are also great. I loved to play on surf and bhop servers as well as Casual competitive servers. It had overall provided some fun experiences. There is also nothing more satisfying then getting nutty shots or getting bhop frags and getting accused of hacking although you aren't. It really does fuel your alter-ego and it really motivating to keep playing. There is also always something i'm learning in this game, whether it's new spray patterns or nade throws and combos. It is a great game to play competitively and has definitely kept me entertained for a long time.

Now time to talk about the history of the game. IMO the CS:GO pro scene isn't as plausible and as popular as it was once before, this is because there is no loyalty between teams as it is all about the money nowadays. I remember classic teams like NIP and fnatic back in the day which was possibly to most entertaining 2 teams to watch compete against each other. On top of that there were match fixing problems and teams were caught doing it *cough* IBuyPower *cough*. The way they handled this situation was permanently banning the players involved in it. These players only got these bans lifted from CS:GO events such as ESL and other Pro League events not hosted by Valve. They are still banned from Valve sponsored events. What I find ridiculous is that the same match fixing problem had happened in Dota 2. All the players involved in that occurrence had only got banned for 12 months. So the players involved in the CS:GO match fixing scandal got more of a punishment than the Dota 2 players? As a result of that, those professional CS:GO players such as DaZeD shouldn't have done it in the first place, but technically Valve had just F*cked up their whole career. IMO no one deserves to be permanently punished, but sure make them do community work or give them a more acceptable suspension then permanently banning them. Now to get to the juicy update when the R8 revolver was released. Newer players must be thinking: "Ew that trash gun that no one use's anymore, What about it?". It literally used to 1 shot enemies. It was an awp in pistol form that you could buy for $600 dollars. On top of that there were many bugs around it on release. Now personally when that update had been released and I was seeing footage of the weapon in action, I just gave up and didn't touch the game until Valve got their Sh*t together. NOW to move on to set tick rates. There have been multiple explanations of why Valve can't update their servers to 128 tick, and this is because there are still people using old hardware. But lets be realistic here. Why not at least give us the option to play MM or casual on higher tick rate servers, and i'm sorry but it's 2019. If you really have a 15 year old PC and you are playing CS:GO. Please for the love of god just upgrade your sh*t. Hit boxes in this game have also been notorious along with the tick rates in this game. Client side and server side problems were such a big problem in this game that it had ruined online tournaments. There have also been questionable moments with the CS:GO audio and designer teams. Why change the gun sounds when they sound fine? Sure lets change the weapons so they sound like they are paintball guns or pea shooters. Just why? Sure to balance out the sound but you don't have to completely revamp and change the whole sound. If there is one thing that Valve needs to do about this game, it is to listen to its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ audience. Because there are people who have played this game and have devoted so many hours to it (i'm one of them) and as a result you have made some bad decisions.

In conclusion, this game has entertained me for a long time, Sure it has its many flaws and downfalls, that's with many games. But CS has been one of those games where it has been a common re-occurrence and something needs to be done and the voice of its community needs to be listened to. There have been many statements where Valve prefers to release rarer better quality updates then holding an online interactive blog with its community. For example a game that does this is Rust. But at the end of the day you could have read this and come out of it with a mixed opinion or attitude towards it, and to be fair that's completely normal and I am the same. The only way to find out that if you will enjoy this game is to download it yourself, play a couple hours and hopefully not run into that many cheaters. Then fork out the cash and pay for Prime if you want to further play it.
