    A different kind of MOBA, but not for everyone. Unfortunately, I don't see myself playing this game too often; it's not my type of MOBA. Nonetheless, it's undeniably impressive. I genuinely wished I could get into this game, and I did try, but it just doesn't resonate with me.

    There's a chance that this game might be your cup of tea. If you're not into games like DOTA, LoL, or HotS,

    There's a chance that this game might be your cup of tea. If you're not into games like DOTA, LoL, or HotS, then perhaps Smite suits your taste. It's a high-quality game that's clearly been crafted with care, and it's definitely worth a shot.

    Smite is an exhilarating MOBA that brings gods and mythological figures to life. With its unique third-person perspective, fast-paced battles, and a diverse roster of deities, it offers a fresh and immersive take on the genre. The strategic gameplay and constant updates make Smite a must-play for fans of competitive multiplayer games.

    Pretty standard MOBA with over the shoulder controls rather than top-down. Not being a fan of MOBAs, I did not enjoy it, but can understand the appeal for those who like this sort of thing.

    The most unbalanced Moba i have ever played. Oneshot or be oneshot in the entire game. A complete CC fest that forces you to watch how you are forced in 1 place for literal 10 seconds, just because you dared to do the mistake of getting hit by a single skillshot.

    The game is bad, the devs work hard to make skins but the stability of the game is bad, you get constant crashes on new consoles. You get constant crashes on PC. For which you get up to a whole 24 hours ban (yes, 24 hours ban for their game crashing on you).

    You get paired unfairly in ranked matches, I've played 10 in which 3 of those had someone AFK, 2 of those had player now knowing

    You get paired unfairly in ranked matches, I've played 10 in which 3 of those had someone AFK, 2 of those had player now knowing how to build, counterbuild or play the gods they themselves picked. People have better time in normal conquest than playing ranked because the ranked matchmaking is garbage and completely broken and has been like that since the game came out.

    While I'm not always in the mood to play Smite, it has a lot of staying power and is fresh enough to keep coming back to for weeks or months at a time. The 3rd person pov is also a nice touch, and the theme is obviously terrific.

    this game has easily the worst matchmaking I have ever seen, I've played many MOBAs and this is easily the worst, no wonder why Hi-rez is scared to label themselves as a MOBA, they label themselves as an Action-MOBA so they get away from heavyweights like DOTA and LoL, they just dont want to improve, instead of making their game "playable" they waste the money for the rights to make dumbthis game has easily the worst matchmaking I have ever seen, I've played many MOBAs and this is easily the worst, no wonder why Hi-rez is scared to label themselves as a MOBA, they label themselves as an Action-MOBA so they get away from heavyweights like DOTA and LoL, they just dont want to improve, instead of making their game "playable" they waste the money for the rights to make dumb crossovers, the game is crumbling down, the matchmaking is non-existant, gods are unbalanced, and the game is snowbally.

    Playing with myth gods is awesome but a tps moba is not a very good option for me.

    -very very bad optimalization, every single patch i spent hourse solving problem game crashing, lags (even tho my pc was way stronger than the requirements) so even after 8 seasons they were not able to solve this
    -bad servers, occasionally, the ping and maintence was really annoying, without any annoucement, they just shut down servers for several hours
    -bad ranked, even tho in S8 its getting better

    The cons are more of a technical issues than the actuall gameplay, if i was gonna rate it separately, i would give 8/9 for a gameplay, for optimalization 5.

    Smite has lots of gods and skins and has been around for many years.
    Although it is not very fun to play, it has lots of content.

    One of the best games i've played ever period. Never gets old. Tons of gods 0 pay to win. Skins are somewhat expensive but worth every penny because of the sheer detail on each one.

    i truly love smite. having played it since 2013. it has given me so many memories and most importantly friends. however its for sure flawed as any online game tends to be. But i have so many good things from smite it earns my rating

    The gameplay feels amazing and you will learn stuff quickly.
    Artstyle of the gods is probably my favorite part.
    Mythology instead of "made up" characters is pretty cool!

    I'd argue that SMITE is better than league of legends when it comes to inside the game. Between the two I would rather play SMITE over LoL even though LoL is more polished. But SMITE still isn't anything special. It may just be that I am not a big fan of the MOBA genre but it's not really anything special. Combat is about the same as LoL is with just a different camera angle. SMITE is aI'd argue that SMITE is better than league of legends when it comes to inside the game.

SMITE is a lot more aggressive with it's microtransactions which is a large down side. I would not really recommend this game.

    If you're a fan of LoL this may be a fun game to mix it up some but it's not really my style of game. Just know that there will be much more microtransactions and less polish.

    the community has improved a lot and has a variety of games and gods is very good, I don't know what else to say.

    Ok your game is cool and **** Hi-Rez but god you own me at least 11 hours of my **** time for the game takes longer to launch than my crush to say yes, and don't get me starting with the **** Russian roulette that is the reconnecting button, which should be renamed "ALT+F4 or Not".

    Dear developers, please sell this game as game, which will be autonomous from your f*cking servers. People with pleasure will pay full-price, just let them be free from your ugly "service".

    Smite is alternative to Dota and LoL suited to beginners as well as veterans of the genre.

    Third god perspective freshens up the MOBA genre but its potential was not fully utilized (e.g. you can jump, but there’s nowhere to jump to). Smite makes up for that with varied game modes and accessibility to inexperienced or casual players. [06/2014, p.58]

    The product of Hi Rez Studios is well made, and offers different feelings from those of its competitors, thanks to the different camera angle and a fast paced gameplay.
