    This 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.

    Solid 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.

    Dota 2 is an amazing game, managed by the amazing Volvo company. Volvo is so dedicated to providing quality gameplay mechanics to gamers, then it might have let the gamers sit with a dirty diaper for a bit to long. Naturally, the gamers get rashes and begin to act rash. Mother Volvo, however, is always a loving provider. When its community cries, Volvo gives it its bottle.

    One 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

    Volvo 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.

    Best 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.

    Totally 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.

    In 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.

    Great 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.

    I feel bad when users vote this awesome game 0 just because the developer don't do sth that ppl want. U can't trade nearly 1 thousand hours of play for just 2-3 weeks of a game mode that only for items farming rights? Please realize ur mistake and make Dota 2 9.9/10

    THE 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!

    Dota 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.

    Why is DotA 2 so awesome:

    • Amazing graphics. • One of (If not the) best f2p system I have ever seen. Basically, you can get almost everything for free by dropping at the end of the game or when you level up. Also all the buyable (or droppable) itens era just cosmetic. They don't give you any advantage compared to other people. • Over 100 different heroes with different skills,    Why is DotA 2 so awesome:

    If 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.

    Not only is this game amazing, addicting, and free, but did I mention it's also amazing, addicting, and free? The variety of heroes over a hundred means every game is entirely different. From where you can lane 'em, how you build 'em, your skills and item choices, there is almost an infinite amount possibilities. Second, this game is addicting.

I only have around 500 hours in and... yeah. 500 hours. And i'm probably in the middle'ish. And I'm still learning but that's ok! Valve's matchmaking really does a stellar job of (most of the time) matching you with other players of a somewhat similar skill level. 500 hours is a lot, but... it's also not. And I expect to put in 5,000 more. Also, did I mention it's free? And not free like, "Hey, here's a demo version!" or even free like "Yeah, you can play some, but give us money to buy more characters or powerups!" I mean like,actually, totally free. The only things that money will buy you is cosmetics (cosmetics which also drop randomly at the end of almost every game.) So think of the money I've saved putting 500 hours into a free game, instead of spending $5-$60 per 50 hour game? yeah, DO THE MATH!

    Worth.

    Probably 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!

    And 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.
