A third-person MOBA built around gods from world mythologies, SMITE® scores 63.2 across 343 analyzed reviews, with 119,890 on Steam.

👍 Strengths

119 reviews still find it fun, and several say they kept logging in even after updates slowed. 21 praise the visuals, from character models and skins to a third-person camera that makes combat feel immersive. 17 value its strategic depth, and some note that every god has a different playstyle or that matches reward positioning and teamwork. Gameplay ranks 571st of 1396, and Content Volume ranks 632nd of 1351.

👎 Where it falls short

Tech & Support ranks 1305th of 1399, appearing in 38% of analyzed reviews. 51 say the developer abandoned it, with no new updates or gods, and some feel a forced move to a sequel split the players. 36 describe a shrinking and toxic community, and a few mention leavers, AFK players and bots. 21 call matchmaking inconsistent, and some report long queues or new players thrown against veterans. Pricing & Fairness ranks 1234th of 1399, and Multiplayer ranks 598th of 642.
