The general sentiment regarding Smite 2 is quite polarized. On one hand, players appreciate the flexible role system, improved graphics, and regular updates. However, there is significant criticism of the monetization, especially the confusing currency system requiring additional purchases. Balance is also a persistent issue, as players find some gods and items significantly overpowered. Meanwhile, the new features like aspects receive mixed reactions, with some seeing them as innovating while others see them as complicating. Despite these issues, a dedicated segment of the player base remains optimistic, buoyed by the developer's active engagement and gameplay improvements.
