“Genuinely great game. Its on life support nowadays, but you can still find matches during normal times and the core gameplay loop is rewardin”
“This game was great Back when it was still evolving and the REZ team kept her up to date. I love this game and Smite 2 is missing the feel that SMITE has. As long as they let me keep playing it, i'll keep logging in.…”
“SMITE 1 will always be better than SMITE 2, and it hurts to say that because I genuinely love SMITE. I have over 9,000 hours across platforms in SMITE 1 and around 684 hours in SMITE 2, so this is not coming from…”

“IT IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!! This is the most rage inducing game I have ever encountered in my life and yet I'm obsessed with it. I have played this game for about 10 years on and off since season 2. It is very…”
“Great game. Not being updated any more so you don't have to keep up with the Joneses. Came back to play after 9 years, and it's pretty much the same, Ton of diverse character options, fairly short queue times, no pay to…”
“Good game, even with S2 out. I prefer S2, but it's still fun to play with friends who won't move on (yet).”

“After over 2,161.9 hours of gametime (smite guru OutrideGaming) I'm saddened to see the final downfall of Smite. Picked up during Season 3 and over the years I've met so many people and made some long time friends along…”

“The community ruins this game. If you dont play perfectly every game even in casual games where you are supposed to learn you get called slurs and blamed for throwing and reported. Don't even bother with this or Smite…”
“This game is a sad, hollow, dying husk of what once was. The developers have abandoned this game wholesale and have left all of us long time players holding the bag as they make no effort to reward cosmetic purchases…”

“They ruined the game. HiRez has never failed at being the worst run and maintained dev studio/publisher in the existence of gaming and somehow doesn't get the hate it truly deserves. Erez Goren (yes it's always them)…”

“After playing this game for years on both Xbox One, the original Smite launcher back in 2015, and now on Steam- This game has honestly fallen into a pit of greed and sadness. This game makes League look like the best…”
“Back when SMITE was actually good and the devs weren't total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ saying "the past decade of content that you earned/bought? Yeah, we're gonna take it away and charge you DOUBLE to get it back lmao!"”

“Smite 2 obviously killed this game. I've played since Beta and collected a lot of great cosmetics. They chose to not transfer any cosmetics to Smite 2 - shameful. Also, the game has blown since the original Season 2. It…”

“SMITE is a game I’ve spent a lot of time with, and it can be genuinely fun. The core gameplay is solid, the god designs are creative, and matches can be exciting, especially with friends. That said, the developer’s…”

“Totally not a bad game and its a fun time waster, that has too high of a learning curve to make me interested enough to keep me on the hook.”

“It's been a good ride. Game's dying now and it's only a matter of time till they pull the plug on it. I wanted to show my appreciation for it while it's still up. Good times were had here. I used to think that it was silly calling the sequel "smite 2" as if it was a different…”
— a player, Steam review · 2,215 hrs played“To me, Smite 2 is atrociously disconnected from what made SMITE so great. This game was so vastly different and fun compared to its competitors in the MOBA genre, it makes me so sad it is all but dead. If i had 3 wishes from a genie i would of absolutely used one of them to…”
— a player, Steam review · 483 hrs played“having over 1800 hours in game having been here since beta I can tell you without any shame that this game WAS amazing at its time. The introduction of smite 2 could have been a great release and idea had your 10+ years of content had carried over with your profile. As it stands…”
