I bring to you my honest opinion of the strategic FPS known as CS:GO.

Overall? Good fun and addictive game that requires you to train your reflexes and prediction in order to persevere.

Graphic wise it's pretty standard, not much is out of the ordinary however it's visually appealing.
The biggest thing I find that separates CS from other big franchise names such as Call of Duty is the increased learning curve coupled with the auditory system they've applied. It's pretty easy to pinpoint the almost exact location of the enemy through running or gunfire noises.

The addition of aesthetically pleasing item skins is a big bonus and makes it more visually entertaining. Skins = Wins no?

With all the positive aspects listed the biggest and quite possibly the very worst thing this game has created and now has to offer old and new users is the addition of a very large cheating community. Sure you'll find a minority of cheaters in any game but in CS:GO, the amount of it is baffling.
For the most part any game you enter has already cheating people or people who toggle their cheat midgame because they are losing. CS matchmaking has become a hacker vs. hacker environment.

Would I recommend to new players?
Yes.
However practice is key and learning to accept dying as a part of learning the game will help you get very far and give you a much more positive experience.

This game receives a 9/10 from me.
Would be a 10/10 if the cheater population was more a minority than majority.
