    One of the best MOBAs on any console and a good introduction to the genre in general, thanks to its more console-friendly controls and fun premise.

    SMITE is a fine game and a great choice for folks who may not spend a lot of time on their PC, but there are a number of shortcomings present in both editions that prevent me from playing it as much as some of its competitors. Still, it's a perfect starting point if you're looking to get into the genre, especially with the intuitive controller scheme.

    Okay, so, when I said that Smite should be free, I didn’t mean to say that it is terrible. What I meant is that the game honestly just isn’t all that good. But I can play as the main character from Conker’s Bad Fur Day, though… so that’s something, at least.

Overall it is a solid game, and with the number of gods it takes quite a bit of time to really learn how their abilities can work together. I would consider this game relatively easy to pick up and play but it will take you some time to really master the finer details. Give it a shot, its free and if you happen to hate it (which i doubt you will) you can just delete it. Full Review »

    This game is awesome, even if you are not a MOBA (Massive Online Battle Arena) you should try it out. The game modes are relatively simple but when combined with the large amount of gods there is a lot to do as well as master.

    I've played for quite a bit and I have not even reached League play yet.

    *This review does not include knowledge of league play*

    I highly recommend this game.

    Please note, there are still some connection bugs they need to figure out. That is why this game does not have a perfect score.
