I read a few reviews of this game and it pissed me off and inspired me to write my own review.

First off, there are valid complaints of the game.

- I don't understand why they have decided to use QR codes to submit bugs.
Am I really supposed to take out my phone and scan a QR code on the main menu to report a bug?! Why isn't it just a button that links to a form that I can fill out?

- In game chat is sorely missed, I really hope they add this at some point soon. There is voice chat in game so you can communicate with your team mates or use the VGS system but I do miss being able to say gg at the end of the game.

- The game is missing gods and the god pool isn't as large as I'd like.

- The game does have bugs... sort the stupid match history by date and time, please! It's such a easy bug to fix.

...but here is the thing a lot of these stupid ass reviewers are missing...

THE GAME IS IN ALPHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

You idiots. You savages. You idiot, savages.

They are going to fix bugs. They are going to release new gods.

Let's talk about the main differences between Smite 1 and Smite 2.

- The items have been completely revamped. You can now build any item on any character and different characters now have scaling based on this.

- There is now actives on items, you can have up to 3 at once as well as a relic, which adds a bunch more complexity to game play. In Smite 1, if you were a carry you were buying beads and aegis, there was very little diversity. This is no longer the case, and the choice of only 1 relic and long relic cooldowns forces you to play differently and respect characters crowd control a lot more.

- The game looks great and feels just as good as Smite 1. They kept the great game play from Smite 1 and built upon it, improving the graphics. This is due to the new engine.

So in conclusion I think they have made a bunch of really promising changes to the core game play whilst committing to a release cycle of adding new gods to the game. This is what matters. Stop whining about really small picture bugs and just report them so they can get fixed. It's an alpha, if when the game is properly released it still has these issues then by all means complain but honestly I think so many people don't understand what alpha means.

PS to the people complaining about losing skins in Smite 1 when it finally shuts down, you're the biggest idiots of all. You threw a bunch of money into the game, but what you bought wasn't the skin, it was an investment in the game. Sure, you rented the skin but it's just code, you don't own it and you never did. If you want to buy something that will last, don't buy skins. Buy a tortoise, call it Kuzenbo and then complain he isn't in the game. IDIOTS!
