SMITE Reviews
Smite makes the MOBA more approachable with smart tweaks to the formula and action RPG-inspired combat.
The game has made an easy transition over to the console from a control standpoint, the variety of characters is truly awesome and I enjoyed the gameplay which felt unique and different to me when compared to similar titles in the genre. Given the fact that SMITE can be tried out for free, I would argue that if you have any interest in the MOBA genre, you owe it to yourself to give this game a try and see. I found the experience loop and the overall gameplay to be quite rewarding, luring me back in time and time again.
A wide variety of modes (distinctly different from other MOBAs) and a healthy roster of interesting characters make Smite a great option for players of all skill levels
All in all, Smite is not a perfect game. Anyone familiar with HiRez will remember what they did with Tribes: Ascend. What was once a fun game became cluttered with pay to win advantages and heavy mismanagement. Regardless, Smite is a fun game, and as of right now is void of any pay to win schemes.
Hi Rez studios has a game changer on their hands here. SMITE is an incredibly fun and addicting MOBA that is perfect for those who are looking from a change of pace from your typical MOBA. It features a great cast of characters, great gameplay, fun game modes and plenty of incentive to keep playing. It's free to play but it isn't pay to win. It has been an absolute joy seeing SMITE grow over the last 8 months and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for the game.
Smite adds a welcome twist to the MOBA formula and, with constant updates and tweaks made with the help of the community, doesn't look like it will be fizzling out anytime soon! If you've ever wanted to know what it would be like to throw Thor's hammer into Poseidon's face, look no further than Smite: Battleground of the Gods.
Smite is an enjoyable experience and fun to dip into. It was also useful when I wanted to scratch a MOBA itch (which sounds like some horrible ailment) and didn't have the level of concentration I still need for Dota. There's a refreshing exhilaration which comes from being down on the board instead of up in the sky and it might catch an audience who bounced off other MOBAs or found them dull or frustratingly complex.
I've been playing on PS4 since the closed beta and have already clocked in 88hr 42 min of playtime, which is more than I have spent on most AAA titles that have been recently released.
