It's a bit odd to get into, I recommend buying a 50c hat or whatever for the inventory space (if that even still applies), weapons will be dropped occasionally. There are websites where you can trade your duplicates for other guns, don't get any of the sets from the shop. (a bot will offer you a steam trade, simple guns are worth less than a cent) Check Youtube for videos and configs to make the game playable. It's fun with friends, you can do everything from messing around while chatting to actually sweating while you're in a tournament. It's Source, it does weird things at times, but the base is very fun. 90% of matches are fun, and queue times for popular modes are below a minute. It's like CS's weird uncle who'd give you weed if you asked nicely and maybe cleaned his car. These days the game is maintained by maybe three people, but the existing content is well-loved and more than you'll likely ever need. Overwatch is certainly easier to pick up, but TF2 has a unique charme, more customization and with some subclasses a very high skill-ceiling.

It's old, but good times can still be had.
