Nov 8, 2013Love the game a lot! by far the best ARTS in the genre. I recommended this game to anyone who is willing to give it a try, but be remindful that the learning curve is the highest of all ARTS and you should be prepared to criticism well

Nov 8, 2013YES DIRETIDE. VOLVO IS THE BEST 10/10 MORE RARES PLZ.. GOOD GAME AND COOL STUFF LIKE DIRETIDE. NEED LESS HATS MORE DIRETIDE TO MAKE GAME BETTTER DDDDDDDDD
-
Nov 8, 2013Dota 2 is an amazing game. I cant believe people gave it a low score because Diretide got implemented late. I hope this helps raise the score back to what the game truly deserves. A 11/10. 865 hours and counting.
-
Nov 8, 2013This game is amazing. I'm sitting here typing this after just surpassing the 2000 hour mark of playing DotA. Highly recommend playing this game. Seems I need to type more for this review to go through :P.
-
Nov 8, 2013This game is extremely complicated, but once you understand the mechanics and have it down, it's super fun and gripping. This is one of the only games that I haven't gotten bored with after a month or two. I have over a thousand hours, and that's saying something.
-
Nov 8, 2013Great game. Valve finally listens to the players! They finally fixed diretide and they apologised for forgetting it, 10 To fix the score although the game is probably a solid 8.
Alive game. Volvo reband. -
Nov 8, 2013Game is awesome we sorry valve we love you again Please forgive us and all the wrong doings. Best game ever love it we got sad but now we are glad once again =D

Nov 8, 2013For all of you Dota fans out there, just try it, try and say it is bad, I dare you. I once played Dota but no more, because this is simply a step up. Dota 2 take all the good from Dota and add more. Oh and also, THANK YOU VALVE!!
-
Nov 8, 2013DIRETIDE SECURED.
On a more serious note its the most in depth MOBA out there. Hard learning curve but when you get the hang of it its one of the best games in my opinion -
Nov 8, 2013One of the best games of its genre. It is the benchmark at which other MOBAs will be judged by. Valve is one of those companies that genuinely cares about its player base the implementation of regular patches to change up the meta of the game and improve it are testament to this.

Nov 8, 2013Valve has finally communicated with his community so give them back the score they deserve. And this review has to be at least 150 characters long so, that's it.
-
Nov 8, 2013I have been playing this game for about seven years, though played HoN for about a year then back again to Dota, and I must say I would play this game for the rest of my life.

Nov 8, 2013It a great fun game that can get pretty addictive. It like i have put my mind to the test. With it large selection of hero's its hard to say you master the game itself. Over all pretty cool game.

Nov 8, 2013FIX METACRITIC
But seriously though this is the best game ever. Most addictive, in-depth,strategic, amazing MOBA game out there. Such a great e-sport too. -
Nov 8, 2013Love this game, been playing since dota1, and will continue to do so! good job Valve! It incorporates teamwork and skills and if you don't have both you'll lose. I think it's GENIUS! Dota is the future! hahaha
-
Nov 8, 2013Amazing game with alot of possibilities and strategies. Play with friends for maximum fun! I've been playing it for at least 2 games every night since I got into the beta and its still great! I'm not even hesitant to put this in my top 5 games of all time!

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, 2013Great game- the only thing I can say about it (other than a lack of communication that incensed the community enough into tanking its score) is that it is crazy addictive and can eat a lot of your spare time

Nov 8, 2013This is a terrific game and easily the best MOBA game out there and all for the grand cost of $0. It has a significant learning curve but this contributes to the overall rewarding experience and re-playability. Well worth installing and giving a try.

Nov 8, 2013Solid 10, best game I've ever played. Hard at the start but really worth it and rewarding. Freest game of all time, no need to spend money, but you should just to thank Valve for being awesome.

Nov 8, 2013Volvo is giving Diretide.
Despite the player base being insanely childish over a little event Valve has decided to hold the event late. This was pretty ridiculous. -

Nov 8, 2013Best game ever, been playing it for years, and will be playing it for years to come. Hopefully its user score will again reflect how good it is, since the kids got their oh-so-desired item farming event.
-
Nov 8, 2013I'm sorry valve here is the rating you deserved thanks for listening to the community
I nearly cried when i saw your announcement hope this next update will worth the weight haha -
Nov 8, 2013Totally worth 10 years I've spend on it.
This game will show everything: how smart you are, how well you learn, how fast you react, how well can you communicate. Playing it is ~50 times harder than doing an average job, and ~500 times harder than learning how to drive a car. -
Nov 8, 2013In light of recent events: Diretide given. Looking forward to the updates.
Overall review: very nostalgic game, true to the original game. This game has ported most of the heroes from the original Defense of the Ancients and has polished the game well. -

Nov 8, 2013Great game. Don't believe the user score on this one, this game is defiantly worth your time to learn and play it. The game is still being updated fairly regularly by Valve adding content that players need.
-
Nov 8, 2013Awesome game, the best moba ever. Despite having a rather steep learning curve but once u got the hang on it, its insanely addictive. A great game to play with your friends and definitely should not be missed..Also thanks Valve fr interacting with the community

Nov 8, 2013THE best F2P game that I have ever played. Each game is different and exciting. No other MOBA provides the same experience as Dota 2 does; Dota 2 may be harder to learn and play than other games like LoL, but once you get into it you will love it. Ignore the ragers, haters, and trolls. If you have not played this game, you should definitely try it!
-
Nov 8, 2013Dota 2 is a great game with a strong community, active development and varied and deep gameplay. It's just a pity that their fans act like a bunch of little girls whenever they don't get their way.

Nov 8, 2013If Valve actually hired a community manager, this game would be an 11/10. For now, though, 10/10 is all I can give it. For people who seem hell bent on comparing it to League of Legends, you need some better comparisons.

Nov 8, 2013Probably the best game I've every played. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a competitive multilayer experience. There's so much depth you will never tire of it and regular updates and new heroes keep it fresh and balanced. If I could play one game (already released) for the rest of my life Dota 2 would probably be it!
-
Nov 8, 2013thanks volvo for listening to the community :D
hope you do better on the future heres your deserved score!
The game is great and have pink unicorns like we ever wished! -
Nov 8, 2013Dota 2 is literally game of the year. I can't even describe how much this game is game of the year. The ability to gamble with in-game items is pretty tops.
-
Nov 8, 2013Been playing this game and its earlier version all my life it seems. Never gets old and always entertaining and feels awesome after every game, sometimes even after losing. Dota!
-
Nov 8, 2013This game is the best game on the MOBAS genre, it's really complex but it's worth the time, and I'm saying this as someone with 2400 hrs ingame (without counting wc3 dota, tried other mobas as LoL and HoN, but they are just not the same)

Nov 8, 2013This game should be 10/10 if not for some 'tards who got upset for not receiving a Halloween event.
Well, Valve will give Diretide, so it's time for the community to fix this -
Nov 8, 2013My favourite game over the last... 6 years or so. Played 6000+ matches.
Excellent job on fast reaction to lack of Diretide community feedback. Eager to see new update. Thumbs up Valve! -
Nov 8, 2013Dota 2 is clearly the best MOBA in its league. As a true free-to-play game (unlike League of Legends), Dota 2 rewards dedication with stunning and captivating gameplay and teamwork. Valve continues to be one of the best game-developing companies.

and we have diretide now, tks valve -
Nov 8, 2013Great game with a helpful community. Can't stop playing it. It is an adaptation from a wc3 mod. If you play League of Legends or any other MOBA you must try it.
-
Nov 8, 2013Its a very good game. I started playing since the beta about 1 and a half year ago. Its true that its hard to master the game but Its very interesting and fun to master each hero. As you get to learn that each character is situational and not the same. I have become addicted to it and i find it as my favorite Action RTS.
-
Nov 8, 2013The game so wondeful...I play Dota 2 first year,but that time has not stopped me feel this game. Compared with the first part of this bunker is much better. The only drawback-out is not all heroes.
-
Nov 8, 2013Best online game ever, after DotA All-Stars from Warcraft 3. It deserves his 10/10 easily.
So many great mechanics, so many great heroes. Best gameplay, best teamplay-game. Please give a 10/10 to Volvo. -
Nov 8, 2013Its a very good game from Based Valve. one of the best games out there.
Get this back to 10/10 back yo! Get this back to 10/10 back yo! Get this back to 10/10 back yo! -
Nov 8, 2013Im giving this review not just cause of diretide but because i have not written a review for this game since i got it. this is hands down my favorite game of all. at first i didnt think id get into it but now im to the point that im a constant supporter of the community by buying items and such over 200 dollars worth. I love this game a 10 out of 10
-
Nov 8, 2013Exceptional game with an unexceptional community. Great gameplay, massive range of heros, endless fun... Big update w/ diretide on its way, do we deserve it? You be the judge.
-
Nov 8, 2013Never been so addicted to a game before! Weekly updates, balanced, and a economy if you like to trade. Basically this game has everything you can ask for in a Moba.
-
Nov 8, 2013Better game ever.
When I started, I played very badly, well, many years later, I began to play very well, now I'm playing very well, and can say that it is a merit DOTA 2 because it has become much easier and more intuitive -
Nov 8, 2013One of the best games ever!! Ignore the negative reviews everyone, its just douches who think its funny to reduce the score for no good reason. It's hard to think of anything I don't like about this game, I just love it so much
-
Nov 8, 2013The community may have it's flaws, but the game is solid and the developers are committed to making the best game experience possible for the players. They may have messed up with the 2013 Halloween event but they quickly and decisively made things right.

Nov 8, 2013I really like this game i think it should have 10/10 bananas because it has many prospects like a gold mine in chile that collapsed. this game has many stuffs in it that make it wonderous and has stupendous teams making it that have many good ideas that really accentuate the thirst for blood that bloodseeker has. really just 10/10 bananas

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.
