The preliminary announcement for Counter-Strike 2 was at first met with quite a lot of pleasure, as many followers by no means anticipated to see a brand new entry of their beloved collection – particularly as CS:GO was launched nicely over a decade in the past. Unfortunately, CS2’s launch final month was met with fairly a little bit of criticism – now making it the bottom rated sport in Valve’s historical past.
Recently we reported that CS2 had seen an inflow of damaging critiques on the sport’s Steam retailer web page, with complaints starting from the existence of bugs, hitbox points and naturally, the whole elimination of CS:GO in favour of Counter-Strike 2.
Due to the truth that CS2 took over the Steam itemizing for CS:GO, the general score for the sport stays ‘Very Positive’. That stated, the title had collected greater than 7 million critiques over the course of CS:GO’s decade+ in the marketplace, that means it would seemingly take a terrific deal extra damaging press for the general score on Steam to drop to ‘Mostly Positive’ or beneath.
That stated, throughout 165,000 current critiques, CS2 presently has a ‘Mixed’ score – making it the bottom reviewed sport ever launched by Valve, tied with the ill-fated card sport Artifact. As CS2 continues to be up to date and its points fastened, the score will seemingly return up. That stated, the truth that CS:GO was eliminated in its entirety will in all probability frustrate a sure subsect of followers for fairly a while.
Despite this, Counter Strike stays certainly one of Steam’s largest video games, with the title presently seeing a concurrent participant rely of slightly below 1,000,000 – making it by far the preferred sport on the platform proper now. Hopefully the staff at Valve are in a position to handle the continued points.
