SMITE 2

I’ve been playing SMITE for many years. I started all the way back in the alpha days of the first game, and I’ve continued playing it ever since. Over all those years, SMITE 1 received a huge number of updates, new gods, reworks, gameplay changes, events, and new content. At the same time, I built up a solid account of my own: countless hours played, many gods mastered, skins, and a collection that took years to build. When SMITE 2 was announced, I was genuinely excited. We were finally going to get a new engine, better graphics, and a more modern technical foundation for the future of the game. But in reality, SMITE 2 felt more like an almost complete wipe. Most of the progress I had built in SMITE 1 was basically left behind. In return, I got Legacy Gems, which sound good on paper, but in practice they do very little to compensate for all the years invested in the first game. In SMITE 2, you have to level your gods again, rebuild your progression again, and, most frustratingly, buy many of the same skins again that you already owned or paid for in SMITE 1. The graphics are definitely better, and the new engine is noticeable, but the optimization still leaves a lot to be desired. I’m also not convinced by the new item system. The fact that gods are no longer as strictly limited between Magical and Physical builds and can build items much more freely may sound interesting in theory, but in many matches it ends up hurting role identity. You can see gods that would normally be played as supports building almost full damage, or characters abusing strange scaling and unusual builds simply because the system allows it. Build freedom is a good thing up to the point where almost any god can become almost anything. For me, that makes matches feel less consistent and reduces the importance of traditional roles. Another major problem is the reward system. In SMITE 1, there were constantly events where you could earn currency, chests, or even skins without being forced to pay every single time. Toward the end of SMITE 1, we also had Battle Passes at a reasonable price, around €10, that gave you a lot of rewards and multiple skins, including some very good ones. In SMITE 2, the whole system feels completely different. Skins are more expensive, free rewards are much weaker, and one of the few consistent ways to earn Gems is simply by logging into the game every day. There are also a few chests, but the chance of actually getting something you want from them is very small. And this is where my biggest problem with SMITE 2 comes in: At its core, the game is still SMITE. It has better graphics, a new engine, and a few new mechanics, but I don’t feel like the differences are big enough to justify nearly resetting the progression of veteran players. After years of playing SMITE 1, I expected SMITE 2 to make me feel like a long-time player moving into a new generation of the game. Instead, it often makes me feel like a new player being asked to buy back what I already had. And the current rewards are so limited that the game does not even realistically give you a good chance to earn a decent skin for the god you actually play the most. SMITE 2 is not a bad game. The problem is that, for someone who invested years into SMITE 1, it does not feel like an evolution. It feels more like a restart.
