    While the tutorials could see some work, and the tooltip text and other UI elements of the PlayStation 4 version are inconsistent in their size, this doesn’t detract from the game’s solid foundation.

    SMITE is a fantastic third person MOBA that reaches PS4 accompanied by more than 70 gods and various game modes. If you are a fan of MOBA games, you can't miss Smite: Battleground of the Gods.

    It's tough to get into, but once you crossed that threshold, this PC port will grab you by the throat and not let go any time soon.

    SMITE brings one of the best MOBA experiences on PS4 without sacrificing its depth in adapting its gameplay for the console.

    Smite is a peculiar and accessible MOBA, whose gameplay is quite suitable to a gamepad. On PS4 the launch wasn't perfect, but as of now most problems have disappeared, and what remains is a pretty good DotA-like with a massive roster of heroes.

    With good presentation, deceptively easy to pick up combat, and great team mechanics, SMITE will be one to invest time and money into.

    SMITE has excelled in terms of online gaming and has definitely encouraged me to explore this genre more. Very interactive, very entertaining and definitely a game I will come back to in the near future.

    From the outset, it’s clear that SMITE is a perfect fit for consoles.

    Smite has been a revolution in the MOBA genre on PC, and now on consoles. The atmosphere and the lore are very well carried out and this game truly achieves its goals as a MOBA.

    I spent thousands of hours playing League of Legends on PC. I left because 1) community was awfull and 2) after so many time spent on it iI spent thousands of hours playing League of Legends on PC. I left because 1) community was awfull and 2) after so many time spent on it i just got bored, and started to think - why am I even bothering with this. So as a person who enjoyed MOBA's a while ago I was a bit thrilled that Ill play something fresh on PS4 for free. And...Im back on earth. Strategic aspect is a bit cut down because of the TPP which could be still nice but fighting mechanics are...poor. Sure You can enjoy this game, use of mythological creatures and gods was great idea, modes can be fun, but the gameplay in this one is not as polished as I was hoping it would be. And the biggest issue is, that I just feel that there are lots of better ways to spend my free time than playing this game - or any other MOBA for that matter. They are addictive timesinks with no rewards when You look back...Well maybe its just me and the fact I cant find excuses for spending time on MOBA. Full Review »

    I've been playing smite now for 3 years, but there's somethings I feel I need to write.
    Game Matching:
    This game has no sense of player
    I've been playing smite now for 3 years, but there's somethings I feel I need to write.
    Game Matching:
    This game has no sense of player matching, from pairing very low levels to the very high, so this'll mean during matches as a experienced player you'll come across players who'll instant lock and then proceed to play awfully crushing your chances of winning.
    Communication:
    Whilst trying to team communicate with the team you'll be surprised with something special, no one speaks your language, ever tried to talk to a different native over the phone? It's exactly like that, but they're still throwing because they can't understand anything.
    Role Picking:
    Enjoy a specific role? Well look further because you'll never get to play it! That's correct never, I've been playing smite for 3 years as said and the players you'll come across are selfish and only instant lock, meaning you have to try and build a team around them that'll stand, and hey bonus feature, they don't always play that role! (Meta: Player picks a role but plays them completely different to work an advantage) which never works.
    Final conclusion:
    I enjoy the game when it's decent, you need to find friend who'll stick to a role or switch around now and then otherwise you will lose, if you play by yourself you'll be added to a game with groups (like joust, you + a group of two on a team) that'll let you die because you're not part of their friend group, and finally never expecting anything to go right because people on this game prove to be extremely stupid and have the common sense and mental thought of a child.

As soon as i started playing it, i realised it's so much fun especially when playing with friends. I did not even know what to expect from this game when i was downloading it as it is my first MOBA but i have had my great moments to cherish from the game. Full Review »
