Team Fortress 2 is probably my favorite game of all time. But i barely play it these days so heres my review
As a new player tf2 is a very enoyable game. There is something in the game that literally anyone will enjoy. If you are very good you could play competitive pugs and enjoy. If you like trading there is a very big trading community. If you just wanna pass some time and enjoy, there are thousands of hilarious and enjoyable community maps and gamemodes. Playing just casual is fun as well. I havent explored the modding portion of tf2 but theres some crazy stuff there like literally turning your bow into a deck of cards which shoots cards instead of arrows. The game is also completely free with 0 pay to win aspects.
My experience with the tf2 community has been outstanding. I did get scammed out of the first key i had which sucks but the gifts and love other people have given me in the community makes it irrelevent. As with any place on the internet, you have to be careful of scammers, hackers, predators, racists etc.

The problems
Lack of content and hackers/bots: After playing for over 2000 hours going for market gardens instead of normally playing also does get stale. Due to lack of a major content update a lot of people with several thousand hours have decided to quit. However as a new player, you have so many things to try out and explore. We can only hope the devs do something and bring out an update which in all honesty i doubt they will. This is especially a reason why im giving the game a negative review despite the praise i have given. I havent played much over the month but the amount of hackers and bots i have faced is astounding. Even the recent reviews of tf2 are very positive and people still buy items with real money in the game. Valve literally has no incentive to update and fix the game if the steam community at large says the state of game is great

TLDR: Pros: Fun, lots of existing content, community, trading, f2p, hats galore!
Cons: Might get stale due to a severe lack of content updates, hackers/bots, community
Worth trying out 100%
