Overview
Description

Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.

Space Raiders thrusts players into a post‑invasion Earth where alien forces have razed cities to rubble. As a third‑person shooter, it blends classic Space Invaders arcade action with modern 3D environments, letting you roam devastated streets while blasting enemies. Choose from three distinct characters—Justin, Ashly, and Naji—each with their own backstory and combat style, and fight through wave after wave of alien threats in a single‑player campaign that emphasizes fast‑paced shooting and strategic character swaps.

So much fun

Counter-Strike 2 has been my go-to lately. Pure skill-based gunplay. One gripe: steep learning curve. Would recommend.
