The reviews reflect a community that is largely frustrated by the changes and monetization in Smite 2. While many players appreciate the improved graphics and new mechanics, there is significant displeasure with the loss of content and the game balance. The community is torn about the new direction with legacy gems and aspects, and overall, the transition hasn't lived up to the expectations set by its predecessor. The potential for improvement exists, but players are concerned about execution and value prioritizations.
