Goods:
Very challenging, good mechanics, and therefore fun.
Exploration is super fun.
Character building is pretty nice too considering you can change your class anytime after reaching a certain point in game.

Bads:
The camera and character movement is super frustrating though. Devs should allow players to strafe without targetting which is essentially how every other game is but I am not sure why they made it like this. The only reason i ever use targetting is to strafe otherwise it's pointless and makes you die every time you use it. Making the whole character start to face left when moving left is the most unnecessary movement i have ever seen in any game.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a small-scale, team-based first-person shooter with permanent death. When a counter-terrorist kills a terrorist planting explosives in a classic Defusal match, or a CT escort swallows a sniper round in Hostage Rescue, the victim is dead for good and doesn't respawn until the next round. As such, players on both sides must exercise skill and care. The bomb objective, meanwhile, gives everyone a purpose. Of course matches end when everyone on a team is dead, but a clever and coordinated terrorist team will give the CTs the slip, plant their bomb, and protect the bomb site. Between rounds, everyone spends earned cash on better gear and guns, and the cycle continues.
