The general sentiment of the reviews towards Smite 2 is mixed. While some players appreciate the unique third-person MOBA experience and believe the graphics and new game mechanics to be an improvement, others are frustrated by the balance issues, poor matchmaking, and toxic community. There is criticism regarding the monetization practices, particularly having to repurchase previously unlocked content. Although ongoing updates bring excitement, they often introduce new problems. Overall, the game is polarizing, with a solid fan base dedicated to its unique appeal while others feel it doesn’t offer enough to merit the transition from the original game.
