Nov 8, 2013Played this game for over 7 years by now. Still love it. And Valve did an amazing job porting it to a modern engine.
Awesome game, both in regards of being challening in individual skill but also team work. -
Nov 8, 2013Rly good game i hope valve continue with the good stuff coming, we need and we want communication like lol ppl have, we want attention we are gold if you can manage us well.
So pls valve play smart, you have dota in your hand that is 100% better than those copycats(lol,hon,smite,hos)
Don't throw gold thought the window again -
Nov 8, 2013A remake of the original DOTA with better graphics and its own engine, DOTA2 is definitely the best game of its genre. It is incredibly focused on keeping the game balanced while still keeping it an incredible challenge. It's hard to get started at first, but once you get into it there's no escape from the fun of DOTA2.
-
Nov 8, 2013This is a game where there are 10 people playing at once, in a highly competitive environment. If you can't take the occasional flame or bad game, don't play simple as that, because you will have a bad time.
BUT there is so much upside, especially if you can play with friends and be more coordinated. -
Nov 8, 2013I can guarantee that a good 70% of these angry reviews are either by fan-boys of other games or by people who were upset at no Diretide this year. Dota 2 is the best strategy game of this generation.
-
Nov 8, 2013People Where so mad about Diretide, Valve not releasing it. but here it is, we're getting it on the next update hope people are happy now and ENJOOY THE MODe

Nov 8, 2013Dota2 is a very exciting, team based, rts-like and Rpg-like Game with the amazing attribute, that every match you play is different. The last user-submitted scores were pretty low due to missing updates from Valve, which they apologized for. Nevertheless is Dota2 really good and has a huge competitive scene.
-
Nov 8, 2013This game is terrible for new players, but stick through with it and you will fall in love. The bad reviews are all from angry fans after valve made a mistake, the critic score is what this really should be based off of.

Nov 8, 2013You manned up, now we say we're sorry. Dota is a great competitive game and it's the best one in the genre. We're sorry for what we did during the D days. We love you, Valve.

Nov 8, 2013best moba, and one of the best games ever made for player vs player combat... think arenas in WoW but not 45 minutes of healing and cc'ing this is massive action and if you slip up you die pretty fast
-
Nov 8, 2013Such a great F2P game. Extremely addicting.. All the heroes are free from the start but the game is hard for newbies because the high learning curve but don't worry, it will get better. Ohh and the e-sports side is amazing as well, you can see the pros play all the time and make some crazy plays.
-
Nov 8, 2013This is a very very good game I cant stop playing it with my friends, thank you Volvo .
The balancing is very well done and every hero can be played significantly -

Nov 8, 2013One of the best games I've ever played. Takes a lot to get into, but once you do, you have a game for life. It makes you work with your team to win games.
-
Nov 8, 2013Great game but it took i while to get used to it. From the start you can use any of the all heroes in game, and don´t have to spend time or money to unlock.

Nov 8, 2013While Valve has screwed up in communication for both Diretide and Ti3 Ticket sells the game is still good. They've admitted their mistakes regarding the lack of communication with diretide.

Nov 8, 2013After trying different action-RTS games, I must say this is the best one yet. Very good graphics, animation and gameplay. I've played League of Legends but I get queued with childrens below 13 and also the champions are imbalanced in that game unlike in Dota 2 where it is all good and team play is needed.
-
Nov 8, 2013The game is amazing and well balanced. The only thing that need to improve is increasing the number of employee dedicated exclusively with Dota2. The fact that Valve step back and finally talked about Diretide is a good and valuable point.
-
Nov 8, 2013This game is what I spend a good deal of my hours playing. Between the yearly International tournaments and the balance changes made by the famous Icefrog, this game is excellent.
-
Nov 8, 2013Compared to Dota 1, it feels alot better. Great graphics and production value. Easily beat down cartoon-like features of LoL, and poor graphics in Warcraft3. This game is the best!
-
Nov 8, 2013Classy act by valve. Shame to those people who spammed 0 as ratings here 1 week ago. Valve's even the one apologizing even though the people who tarnished dota2's score are the one at fault here.
-
Nov 8, 2013Amazing game, they finally listenend and gave Diretide to us! I've played 5 years (and am still playing) wc3 DotA, and I have played around 1500 LoL games. DotA and Dota 2 are, hands down, the best MOBA/ARTS games. The community is great and the game is very balanced and skill-based.
PS: TY VOLVO -
Nov 8, 2013Dota 2 is a really enjoyable free to play game that gets you really addicted. If you have tried LOL and liked it you should definetly try this. Its kind of the game lol is based on.
-
Nov 8, 2013One of the best, most difficult and truly competitive games I've ever played. It is free and doesn't have any pay-to-win, all heroes are free, the only paid content are cosmetical items that DO NOT change gameplay.
-
Nov 8, 2013Dota 2 is an utterly brilliant PvP game that is ultra-hard and requires friends for the best experience. There is a steep learning curve and a lot of characters to get used to but the game is really worth it.
-

Nov 8, 2013This game is a very fun and enjoyable game, I think that it deserves a second chance because it really got hit hard from the whole dire tide thing, and I think it deserves a second chance

Nov 8, 2013Diretide was given, game is alive. Just giving Dota the score it deserves. Hopefully we'll be back up to a score of 8.x like we were before this debacle.

Nov 8, 2013Amazing game, A lot of noobs here obviously can't handle a real competitive game (understandable when they come from a game like league of legends made for children) I've played over 800 games and i'll definitely play over 800 more.
-
Nov 8, 2013Thanks for continuing to be awesome Valve. It takes a lot to admit when mistakes are made, and it was dealt with in a professional and cordial manner. I continue to have a great deal of respect for this company. Keep up the awesome work guys.

Nov 8, 2013Great game, super fun, made by best car company around. Well balanced and parity updates every year making the way the game is played different and more exciting. Also fixing the negative reviews by all the crying children.
-
Nov 8, 2013Well. I'm a dota 2 player. What can I say.
Every day, every night, all the time. At school, at home, at work. I die for my dota, I live for my dota. -
Nov 8, 2013Amazing game that will suck the life out of you. Time and patience will be needed but well rewarded. A lot of time will be needed to be semi proficient at this game but once you understand the basics you will find yourself playing game after game

Nov 8, 2013Best game i've played. It has been 8 years and i'm still not bored. Every game I've played, there has been something different, something new and i'm still learning
-
Nov 8, 2013DotA 2 is one of the deepest, most engaging experiences ever created. You can easily lose thousands of hours playing it. It is social, tactical, has an enormous skill ceiling, and has a great developer behind it continuing to shape and push the game into better and better places.
-
Nov 8, 2013
-
Nov 8, 2013There is learning curve, yes. But the experience thereafter is tremendously rewarding. I regularly play Dota 2 with friends, and it has become a part of our routine. The complexity, in my opinion, is a significant factor to Dota 2's replayability.
-
Nov 8, 2013A great game, don't listen to the negative reviews as they were a result of no Diretide. As long as you pass the steep learning curve you're set to have an incredible amount of fun.
-
Nov 8, 2013This game is really good and has a solid developer making it. they may be quiet but they always have a reason and will man up to it if they make a mistake. Do not listen to these negative reviews because a few people were upset over a lack of a halloween event.
-
Nov 8, 2013This Game is the most amazing game there is! Have spent more than 1000 hours on it in less than a year (like 11 months) and no showing of my passion fading. DIRETIDE IS HERE!
-
Nov 8, 2013Amazing multiplayer pvp game. Steep learning curve, but easily well worth it. Also, Gave DIRETIDE. Fun for the casual and competitive gamer alike.

Nov 8, 2013Great game for all strategy fans, tons of choices in builds, tactics. Each game is different, you can't snowball like in other games in genre. To enjoy this game you need to spend some time but it will be rewarded for you later on.
-
Nov 8, 2013This game is orginall and tries new ways to innovate eSports from new angles other companies fail to see.
They always update the game for the greater good and always been supportive about the community. -

Nov 8, 2013There are some problem with game. MM, bugs, not so many community attention and too many hats, but its not even matter because of the most great balance in all MOBA games. The work what did Valve in last 3 years is just incredible.
-
Nov 8, 2013Great game, playing Dota since it's early stages and watching it become what dota 2 has become is awesome. Probably the best moba you will find. Valve is really trying hard, making this game better every day
-
Nov 8, 2013Fantastic game. Seriously, completely ignore the user reviews for this game, read the critic reviews, or even the reviews from another site. Just ignore the bad user reviews, they are all a result of raging. The game itself is literally the best multiplayer PvP game to come out in the past decade.
-
Nov 8, 2013Really amazing game! Always something to learn, it's such a beautiful game packed in 1 map.

Nov 8, 2013I sincerely believe this is one of the best games created and the fact that spoiled brats would rate this down because they didn't get there way is shameful to the community.
-
Nov 8, 2013i cant believe the score is currently 4.0 just because a group of people got mad at Valve.
Valve is awesome and so is Dota 2!
10/10
The game is Free 2 Play! Fun to play, awesome to watch as a spectator! Highly competitive, balanced!
Once you get into Dota you won't regret it! -

Nov 8, 2013Very fun game, and while the community can go on the fritz sometimes it is still very enjoyable to play. I recommend learning/playing this game with friends, it makes the entire experience more pleasant. While the knowledge to learn might be a bit daunting, once you get a grip on it you should find yourself playing more and more.
-
Nov 8, 2013this game improved my life by 200%, first it cured my cancer that I was dying from, then I won a billion dollars and can play this game all day all night because I don't have to work anymore. thanks valve

Nov 8, 2013Best action strategy game. I really enjoy playing this game non-stop. Brilliant and variety in-game cosmetic items. Dota tv easy to access and variety of tournament every day

Nov 8, 2013DoA 2 is one of the deepest, most engaging experiences ever created. You can easily lose thousands of hours playing it. It is social, tactical, has an enormous skill ceiling, and has a great developer behind it continuing to shape and push the game into better and better places.
-
Nov 8, 2013Valve is a great company that cares about its customers, and I've spent more time playing Dota 2 than pretty much any other game ever, despite being late to the party. It's a great, addictive, life sucking game and it is run by a company that has no peers, and definitely does not deserve any of the vitriolic behavior some of the community has thrown at it.
Also: RECIEVED DIRETIDE -

Nov 8, 2013Incredible game with a lot of depth and complexity. It does have a huge learning curve and can be frustrating, but that's not a bad thing. There are a plethora of resources and communities that can aid you in learning. Learning how to deal with frustration and stress in the game allows you to apply it to your everyday life (if you still have one after getting addicted).
-
Nov 8, 2013Cancelling out the trolls is a difficult task, but a necessary one. People ruined the rating until they got what they wanted, and finally they did. Best game ever by best company ever.

Nov 8, 2013One of the best games I have played. 1000's of play value and consistent support and update from Valve is unmatched in terms of a product ever. Plenty of spectator value as well, as it only gets better once you understand the game more. And also the ever increasing popularity of The International, this game is going to be one of the biggest e-sports and games in the near future.
-
Nov 8, 2013This game is absolutely amazing. No match is ever exactly the same. Valve did us a solid with this freebie.

Nov 8, 2013Dota 2 is pretty much the only game worth a damn now a days. Been playing Dota for 9 years now and have tried the rest of the Moba genres but can't beat Dota. Valve keep the heroes coming... We want Techies xD
-
Nov 8, 2013
-
Nov 8, 2013the score is so low because people spammed 0's after the diretide incident, and dota 2 doesn't deserve this at all. Honestly it's a great game, one (if not the) best MOBA/ARTS out there and you should give it a try. It's totally free in the end

Aug 15, 2017And this dichotomy is perhaps the best descriptor I can attach to Dota 2. It is frequently a game which occupies two opposite spaces simultaneously. It is the best game. It is also the worst game. No game has ever made me as miserable as Dota 2 has. But no game has made me feel so consistently rewarded for my time, and as consistently, wonderfully connected to the friends I play it with.
