Nov 9, 2013Dota 2 is easily one of the most exciting and gripping games I have ever played before. There are so many different scenarios which lead to you never getting bored. I would suggest Dota 2 to anyone looking for a fantastic game to play.
-
Nov 9, 2013An incredible free to play multiplayer game that, once you've scaled the learning wall, offers endless hours of nuanced combat and strategy. Though the community can be harsh, those with thick skin will persevere and lose countless hours of their life to this addictive ARTS.

Nov 9, 2013Best game i've ever played. Even if you always play on the same map the variety of heroes and items makes every match you play different. I've played this game for almost a year and i'm proud that this game is still part of my life
-
Nov 9, 2013Good, very good game! Valve strive for users. And do not neglect them and underestimate assessment through event, I think they learned a lesson and will continue to delight us with their patches
-
Nov 9, 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 9, 2013It's a really good game, possible the best game I've ever played. It have a good mixture of strategy and action, which is really cool. Also, all players started out the same each game so it is all fair play, and it is all about your skills. No item-buying from market except for cosmetics (which is basically just pretty things and add nothing to your hero).
-
Nov 9, 2013This game is completely free to play so the only barrier on entry is player skill. There is even a tutorial nowadays so that new players aren't completely left to sink or swim like old-school gamers were.
-
Nov 9, 2013Easily one of the best games I've ever played. It's especially fun when you have friends that play as well.
A lot of reviews on this site are negative but don't mind the trolls. There are still some good people in the dota community. That being said, try it out and i assure you won't regret it. -
Nov 10, 2013A game that keeps challenges you so much that there's something new to learn every time you play. Even after having well over 1000 hours of playing the game and spectating pro tournaments, this is just a gold mine for fans of team games that require deep strategic thinking and fast reflexes at the same time.
-
Nov 10, 2013This game is amazing, I've never spent so many hours playing a single game and still feel like I am learning new stuff every day. I honestly can't believe it's free. It will frustrate the hell out of you but winning a match leaves you feeling satisfied like no other game can.
-
Nov 10, 2013The most challenging MOBA style game out there. Great fun with friends. Regular updates. Great business model (completely free to play with JUST cosmetic items for sale). Play it!
-
Nov 11, 2013Truly the best moba, if not PC game, ever, out there.
On a true 5v5 neutral basis, without pay for power of any kind and all heroes available from the very first time you launch the game, this title holds no comptetitors worthy of the name. -
Nov 11, 2013Best MOBA ever! Best game ever! Sad to see that the community can't support it decently. As you can see, even with the mistakes from Valve, no one stop playing it, they're only criticizing it....
-
Nov 11, 2013This game is certainly worth playing. It's free yet very entertaining and joyful, hard, complicated and requires a calm mind and firm strategy. If you're up for challenge download dota on steam and start playing. it's hard but rewarding

Nov 14, 2013It's a great game with a colourful community! Great depth and a big play on your real-time tactical skills. Has lots of heroes to choose from, and with a team of 5 there are countless combinations of skills you can apply in battle.
-
Nov 14, 2013I think that over thousand hours of game-play speaks for itself! Just the best of its kind out there! Just a brilliant job all over! Will be enjoying my next thousand hours!

Nov 14, 2013dota 2 10/10 the best game from the time of Jesus' birth .I play DotA since Alexander the Great and I'm still not tired of it. 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
-
Nov 14, 2013Dota 2 has to be the best F2P game out there. It is very complex and there's always more to learn about it but once you learn the basics, it's incredibly rewarding and fun to play.
-
Nov 14, 2013Having played the MOBA genre for over 5 years I would not hesitate to recommend or even talk someone into trying this game over others of it's genre (namely LoL and Smite etc). Dota 2 and HoN are my two favourite games throughout my gaming history and both games easily immerse you in it's play for countless hours of entertainment.
-
Nov 14, 2013Awesome update has been given. Even though Valve doesn't communicate really well to the community, but never underestimate them, they are silencing because they wanna focus for this mega update.
VALVe plus IceFrog equal BEYOND GODLIKE! -
Nov 14, 2013GREAT GAME! Too bad the crap community decided to flood metacritic with bad reviews because their anticipated update was delayed a couple weeks..boohoo!
-
Nov 14, 2013This is the game of my life. Over 3000 hours of playtime and the fun just doesnt stop. This is truly a masterpiece. Constantly updated, an awesome community, great graphics, epic sound and a truly fair free2playmodel.
-
Nov 14, 2013DotA 2, the most bright, intelligent and love deserving child of DotA, succeeds to make his father proud. Ice frog and Valve have done something with this game that can never be taken for granted. Sleep-les night and chopped nails really tell something about this game. Valve Knight's all around the world UNITE!
-
Nov 14, 2013Bestest game in whole EU. Also has diretide now goddammit. It's fantastic.
You can slay and flame people. And watch "pros" play like on Twitch.tv it's facking amazing I tell you that.
Go play or be a dick. -

Nov 14, 2013Game is good, matchmaking system blows, lots of glitches Valve won't fix, slow updates, but the game itself is good and this is just to counteract the 0's being handed out thanks to the lack of Diretide which is here now.
-
Nov 14, 2013Amazing, I haven't looked back at Dota 1 since I first got into the beta, that says alot about how Valve captured Everything important whilst still improving upon the game tremendously

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.
-
Feb 19, 2014Simply irresistible and addictive as hell.
