Nov 8, 2013A superb masterpiece of a game. Prepare for hundreds of your hours to be sunk into this rich and diverse world. Multitudes of heroes to play and master, thousands of different strategies and approaches, one game will never be the same as another. Volvo delivered.

Nov 2, 2013Don't believe critic's lies. This game is and and it is going ****tier. The game was better while it was in the Beta, now they don't listen or respond to community. Really, go back to Dota 1.

Nov 14, 2013Great game, great mechanics, awesome community.
VALVe did a really good job with the updates, a bit late, but worth it the wait
Today 11/14/13, we got 2 new heroes (Ember and Earth spirit), we got diretide, we got a new re-work on Storm spirit wich looks awesome, we got a bunch of new items, we got EVERYTHING
10/10 -

Nov 14, 2013Much much much better than lol In addition, it is F2P which is amazing. And unlike, LoL or HoN which require you to use a rotating hero list until you buy your own with real money or accumulate enough in-game currency to purchase a single hero,

Nov 14, 2013Simply awesome,cant stop playing it .Highly detailed,deep,engaging,balanced but most of all what makes this great is the amount of love developers have shown and the amount of love the players of dota and fans have shown that makes it truely great.
-
Nov 14, 2013Dota 2 is excellent. Although it has a large learning curve, once you get past that it is addictive and fun. I haven't had much trouble with the community, sure there are flamers every once in a while, but I can't remember the last time I have been in a game with flamers. Excellent game. Give it a shot.

Nov 14, 2013After playing League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, Dota and Dota-2, Dota-2 in my opinion is the best choice, you have every Hero available from the beginning and is a bit more difficult than the others (instead of Dota of course) So if you're looking for a challenging MOBA/ARTS Dota-2 is perfect for you
-
Nov 14, 2013This game is amazing! One of the best and most polished games i've played ever. This game improved so much since it was released on the beta. There are over 90 heroes to choose from currently and the gamplay is as intence and as rewarding as DOTA 1.
-
Nov 14, 2013volvo gave diretide. love restored.
In all seriousness, don't let the lowish user score fool you, this is a great game and the community loves the devs, and the devs love them back. -
Nov 14, 2013This is one of my favorite games. For paid games, it deserves a 8+, but as a free game it should have a 9+ rating. Don't listen to the spoiled kids who feel entitled to to free content for a game they didn't pay for. Play this game, you'll love it!
-
Nov 15, 2013This is incredible game. This is strategy and action game at the same time! And this is Valve game. All valve's game the best of the world. 10/10, the Best!
-
Nov 15, 2013Amazing game with awesome features. Perfect upgrade from DOTA1. Valve is putting in tons of effort and it is paying off. I can play this game 100% for free every single day. New content comes regularly and they make a point of keeping the quality high.

May 13, 2016I hope this **** company will go bust. Nice 2015-2016 content, stolen from League of Legends, nice work with community, nice balance. ( Gabena mamku v sraku perdolil)
gg wp was fun -
Nov 12, 2013Easily the best PC game out right now. Biggest competitive scene in the history of gaming, and an overall amazing game for everyone.
Not only that the developer listens to its community for good suggestions and ignores them for bad ones. -
Nov 8, 2013Diretide given. But no seriously, Valve isn't perfect but Dota 2 is honestly an amazing game despite its rather.......vocal community. As for as free-to-play games go, I can easily say that is the best out there and even has a far higher level of production then games that cost $60 and upwards.
-
Nov 11, 2013Don't go by the negative reviews, its because valve didn't make an announcement regarding an event. This is a AAA game for free with a steep learning curve. However, once you learn it, its never ending fun.
-
Nov 9, 2013And so it was that the impatience of the human race allowed Dota 2's user score to sink by several points, and metacritic was deemed the worst way of judging if a game is worth playing.

Nov 11, 2013Very time consuming. Well done graphics and animations. Large amount of tradeable items. The replay value is enormous because there are so many heroes to use.

Nov 8, 2013Dota 2 is an amazing game with intense competitive game-play over 100 heroes to choose from and a e-sport scene that's enthralling. Anyone interested in MOBA or ARTS games should really check it out!

Dec 3, 2013There's 2 things about Dota 2 it's completely free and it's developed by VALVe. If that's not enough for you to try this game I don't know what is. The only thing that you have to spend in order to play this game is time.

Nov 9, 2013A great game that mixes strategy individual skill timing and practice, the only complaint that I can make is it is a huge time sink. if you decide to play this game make sure you have nothing better to be doing for the next year or so.......................

Nov 8, 2013More than 10 years developing a system and balancing one game. Now bringed back by Valve and Icefrog.
This game has got everything to raise to the glory. Easy to learn, Hard to master. -
Nov 2, 2013Thank you for your time in anticipation of the next event, there was no indication he will or not, many forums have been filled with hope, and you have them, and so did not justify adding sets and tickets, the most intesnoe update was all normal games but not here

Nov 8, 2013After ~1500 games played and 1600 invested in the game, I just cannot stop. I don't feel interested in any other games for that matter, whatever I try seems just boring as hell compared to Dota. A++, 10/10 Game, try it out for free!
-
Nov 8, 2013I hate the Internet.; Valve are awesome; this game is seriously the best game available right now. The game itself is incredibly deep and diverse but what Valve has done around the game is a spectacle.

Nov 8, 2013Best game there ever is. Doesn't deserve none of this crap of negative ratings because of the Diretide thing. 1000 hours on it and counting. There's no oher multiplayer game such addictive and entertaining as this one. I love it.
-
Nov 8, 2013Excellent game in all aspects. Community and game development speed could be better but the rest is solid and good quality content. A+++ Definitely recommended!
-
Nov 8, 2013Amazing game. Have played it for just over a year now and have over 1200 hours logged. I don't regret a minute. Finally got around to reviewing it here to help fix the damage done by the retarded "GIVE DIRETIDE" crowd.

Nov 14, 2013Been playing this game for 7 years and after all this time its still entertaining, playing with friends or not. Icefrog still hands out big updates to make the game feel fresh! Best game ever!
-
Nov 14, 2013Best (Aeon of Strife Styled Fortress Assualt Game Going on Two Sides) game out there. 3 spirits update shows how amazing Dota 2 is, and how much support valve gives it. I could write a much longer in-depth review, but im simply here to boost the score after it was assaulted by give diretide babies.
-
Nov 14, 2013one of the best games ever made. definitely worth playing. First of it's genre, with amazing gameplay. Game that lasted for more than a decade. And it's much more beautiful than first part!
-
Nov 14, 2013A great PvP game that offers some of the most intriguing and nuanced team combat around. Very hard learning curve but the satisfaction that you get when u actually master the game is so good
-
Nov 14, 2013Its a good game, people giving it bad rating only because the DireTide event was delayed and they didnt release Technies. But ignore them, Dota 2 is a very good game.
-
Nov 14, 2013best AoS-style game out there. way more complex and rewarding than games like league of legends, and valve is one of the best developers of games ever.

-
Nov 16, 2013I Love the Game. No pay to win.Well balanced Good graphic. And most of all good Game-play.You have to like the genre. Then the game will be perfectly for you.
-
Nov 17, 2013Only defect is the rancid community. But this game is the actual standard for F2P model and listen users. 10/10 without dude. Valve always develop serious products

Nov 9, 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.

Aug 12, 2013Fantastic controls, graphics, and gameplay. One of the best PvP games I've ever played and a LARGE improvement to the first Dota. Valve honestly couldn't have done any better.

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.
