Currently Counter Strike 2 is the most played title on Steam, reaching one and a half million players simultaneously on the platform. Despite this, The shooter did not have the best reception from players, So since its launch it has been struggling to get positive reviews and, after nine months, it finally did.
CS2 was highly anticipated by the Counter Strike community at the time, those who were attentive to all the leaks and content updates that appeared at the time. However, its launch was not the most positive, Well, on September 27 it made its debut with just 42 percent positive ratings, leaving the worst debut of a Valve game.
The reason for this was related to the poor performance that the title had in its first days of release, and, above all, the lack of content: the launch of CS2 meant the elimination of Counter Strike: Global Offensive from Steam, so many players were forced to try the sequel. Unfortunately, This one came out without maps, game modes or useful features that were already in CS:GOwhich damaged the final result and gave it a negative rating and the abandonment of thousands of players
.
However, over the months, Valve has been careful to add content that did not make it to the final version in addition to new content, so the ratings slowly improved over time until reaching positive reviews. In May these stagnated at 79 percent, but finally in June they reached 80 percent positive recent reviews, while overall reviews exceeded 87 percent.
Despite this complicated route to achieve this number of positive reviews, the ratings did not stop Counter Strike 2 from remaining on the podium of the most played titles on Steam day after day, maintaining the average number of players above one million since it came out. . Furthermore, Valve has polished the details of its title and considering the stability of the title, it is to be expected that the reviews will continue to rise.
