Smite Critic Reviews

Hi-Rez has been able to do what no other company has done and that is being a true MOBA experience, filled with depth, strategy and challenge to the consoles.

Balanced, tense and with lots of depth, Smite is not only the best MOBA available on console, yet also one of the finest multiplayer games published in recent times.

One great opportunity for all the Xbox One owners to enter through the front door to the Olympus. Fun and deep, despite being a bit worse than the original PC version.

Whether you're looking for casual action combat, or something to master through an investment of thousands of hours, Smite on the Xbox One is a well of frenetic action and smart strategy that runs as deep as you're willing to dive.

SMITE feels natural to play on Xbox One with a controller, something I was unsure it would as it’s a very ‘clicky’ experience on PC.

Smite is the best MOBA we've played on console so far, with a great presentation, solid gameplay and a very well balanced free-to-play model.

SMITE is a breath of fresh air to the MOBA genre. The changes in the control and the camera and his multiple game modes do that it is a very advisable game. You will want to try.

After more than one year finally comes to Xbox One the conversion of popular MOBA game "SMITE".

Smite is a great game on the XBox One which proves that MOBA's can successfully make the transition to the console world.

A solid console adaptation of an intricate and rewarding competitive experience, but not without rough edges.

As a regular MOBA player, I really enjoyed my time with the Xbox One version of Smite. As much as I enjoy playing MOBAs, being able to play it from the comfort of my console with a gamepad is a huge plus.

That lack of basic info aside, Smite is bright, largely accessible, and after just a few matches I fully understood the appeal of team-based god-on-god combat.

With the freemium model, SMITE is worth trying out if you’re a MOBA fan with an Xbox One. There’s zero risk, a massively deep game to jump into and a surprising play-style that actually makes the genre fun, instead of a reason to daydream about drowning the people on the opposing side for rushing you.

SMITE is the first MOBA ever to perform great on console. Definitely, the third person perspective is what the genre needed to excel in home systems and controller schemes, which represents a breath of fresh air on Xbox One.

All in all SMITE offers up a refreshing take on the MOBA genre. It is not a genre I spend a lot of time with, but I can already say that I have found SMITE to be more to my liking than any of the others I have played so far.

While it doesn’t reinvent the genre or lend it much additional flare, Smite is still a worthy addition to the legions of MOBA games that are now available.

There’s a lot of learning involved to make the most of Smite – and not enough done to introduce the more complicated elements – but as a competitive multiplayer game this is a game you really ought to try.

If there ever was a perfect MOBA ambassador for consoles then it was always going to be Smite.

SMITE is a fine game and a great choice for folks who may not spend a lot of time on their PC, but there are a number of shortcomings present in both editions that prevent me from playing it as much as some of its competitors. Still, it's a perfect starting point if you're looking to get into the genre, especially with the intuitive controller scheme.

One of the best MOBAs on any console and a good introduction to the genre in general, thanks to its more console-friendly controls and fun premise.
