CS: GO is pretty strategy intensive, I agree. Partially why I picked it up is because of that (and also because of personal reasons :3 ). I would say that CS:GO is a pretty realistic shooter due to the money aspect and the varying natures of the guns in the Competitive (which would be official games that count towards standings) and Casual (same as Competitive in terms of structure, but not recorded officially) modes. Deathmatch (where everything is free and you just kill people) is great fun though if you don't want to figure out the strategies and all.
It's a great game overall IMO, I'd say if you're turned off by the complexity, then reconsider, it's a great realistic representation of a fps with plenty of modes to cater to everyone. The community has been pretty chill so far. You'll find ragelords here and there but nothing too bad.
