SMITE 2
Gods from world mythologies on a three-lane map, seen from over the shoulder. SMITE 2 is the long, planned evening of the five, with a short Arena when time is tight.

First evenings
Where the first hours go
The tutorials and matches against AI come first, and the Practice mode lets a player try any god, even one not yet unlocked. Conquest has five roles: Solo, Jungle, Mid, Support and Carry. Each player picks one and two gods to learn.
Arena is the short option: 5v5 fights in the middle of the map, 500 tickets a side, about ten minutes a match. It teaches abilities fast. SMITE 2 is still officially an open beta, so expect changes from patch to patch.
Groups who enjoy a long strategic match, and players who like mythology and a third-person view.
Groups that meet for half an hour, and Mac players: there is no macOS version.
