    When I first played this game I didn't have high expectations, but after playing it a few times, it became one of my favourite games thanks to the different game modes and many different gods, which all play in different ways, which helps keep the game interesting.

    Smite is an extremely well made MOBA game that works very well on console. The game is very similar to the PC version, but still different. Most people did not experience this game enough to know what it really is about. The first few games/ account levels you are you might have some trouble because not every player will know how this game exactly works.

Most people did not experience this game enough to know what it really is about. The first few games/ account levels you are you might have some trouble because not every player will know how this game exactly works. The way you play smite is similar to other mobas, in which you defend and attack lanes and towers, with a jungle between lanes (this is the main mode). The gods, godesses, and mythological creatures and deities are extremely interesting and usually the biggest reason why people are attracted to this game. With interesting lore (real lore) , new gods every month, and new patches every 2 weeks, you'll be hooked into it. Each god is different and there are many different playstyles (especially because of the items you can build). Although smite is completely FreeToPlay, there are cosmetic items that can make the game a bit more fun. Some are purchased with favor (earned through playing ) or gems (earned through login bonuses, gem events, and real money). There is an Ultimate God Pack that gets you every current and future god for $30, ($20 and even $15 in sales). Make sure to completely learn what to do in each game mode (especially conquest), because each player in the main mode (conquest) has roles to fulfill. Don't start playing randomly in that mode and don't start playing gods randomly without learning what items to use for the god (building) and how to play them. You start the game with five gods (Neith, Ymir, Thor, Ra, and Guan Yu) and 5 others that rotate each week. Smite is both casual and competitive (ranked). Smite is in eSports and has a world championship with a usual prize pool of 1 million dollars, as well. Oh and by the way, Hi-Rez is a REALLY good company. They are extremely fun (check out their videos on youtube) but really cares about their community. (just a few days ago they raised $60,000 for a pro-player turned caster.) They care about the happiness of the community as well (giving out free stuff or having a gem event if there was a server problem that affected all of the community.) Although their support team can sometimes be a hassle, they are a great and growing company never the less.… Expand

    I have downloaded Smite on PS4 because it's free and my friend referred me. 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.

    This game is the perfect mix between a MOBA and a shooter(because of it's skill shots). This game has taken over my life and I can't stop playing it. If you play you should learn conquest. People hating on the game because of unbalanced gods don't realize that they are most balanced in conquest. You need to play at a high level far up in ranked to get the gameplay smite offers.

I know a lot of people that have played one arena match and then decided that it wasn't a fun game. This game is fun, you just need to get to that high level of gameplay. Trust me, weather the storm, and you will reap rewards.… Expand

    I have about 650 hours in Smite at this point so I feel well suited to comment on it. On the whole I think Smite does a lot of things right. It is a good spin on the MOBA genre that caters to players with a preference for third person perspective, as well as gameplay largely based on skillshots.

On the whole I think Smite does a lot of things right. It is a good spin on the MOBA genre that caters to players with a preference for third person perspective, as well as gameplay largely based on skillshots. There are plenty of gods (the characters are gods of pantheons across the world) that are easy to pick up because of this, but it leaves a relatively high ceiling for most gods. Due to this I never feel out of options and there is always a character I want to play and improve on, even now the list is long. Like most MOBA games there is an item shop that takes time to learn properly and requires a lot of experimentation as well as research. The game has a variety of game modes, some more on the casual side and others on the more serious end (based generally on community opinion). Conquest is the main mode and is the typical 3 lane mode, and is considered the most serious mode (ranked and casual for each their category). This is the mode that gods and items are primarily balanced around. Balance in Smite has seen ups and downs, but the Smite team has been doing well these last few months. New characters are often too strong, but that is the point of new characters so the developers get plenty of data and engagement from the character. The reason I am not providing a higher score is that sometimes it takes a little too long to address oppressive gods and the cosmetic store has much of what we don't like seeing in our games. Loot boxes that are padded with unwanted items (no duplicates at least) and far too many exclusive skins, meaning most skins are not available for direct purchase. A somewhat positive are the daily deals which can legitimately give good deals (though it might also tempt you to spend). On the more positive side of things all characters can be unlocked for free and if you wish you can buy the god pack which gives you all current (and future) gods for a one time purchase, a good deal if you like the game. On the whole I really recommend giving Smite a go. It is in the healthiest spot it has been in for a long time and with the amount of gods, roles, builds, playstyles and various nuances to learn I find it to be a very good experience (just watch your wallet, the skin for that character you never play might look amazing, but it ain't worth it for you).… Expand

    There is no story to spoil.. it's a third person take on a Moba.. the difference is it's all legit mythological gods. I've played many Moba games on PC, and a few on consoles.. smite transitions the best. The third person angle makes assassin's worth playing. And there's multiple game modes. Free to play, non pay to win, what more could you want?

    Ta bastante chido para ser un MOBA, que no es un género que me guste mucho, es divertido aunque los servidores a veces caen y el emparejamiento es un asco.

    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.

    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.

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