    The game is very enjoyable. The game has some fun maps and a good range of different characters to play as. Most of the negative reviews on here are people complaining about the microtransaction for skins, and DLC that will release more hunters and monsters in the future. Doesn't make the game any less fun to play.

    Game was alright on launch with a lot of potential but fell apart amongst dumb dlc practices and poor management.

    Tracking down the beasts as the skillful hunters or patiently evolving to counter-attack as the hunted is equally exciting in Evolve. The first few hours at least.

    I’m going set aside the debacle that followed the launch of Evolve and concentrate on the game since it went free-to-play, which is when I started playing it (it was on my wishlist and I probably would’ve bought it eventually). Coop gaming lives or dies with the team. They can be great fun to play provided you have a decent team, but if your team does not cooperate, or is poorly-matched, well, it soon goes down the pan. In this respect ES2 suffers more than most. If you’re lucky enough to get a cooperative, well-matched team of hunters, against a well-matched monster, it can be really enjoyable. If you don’t have such a team it can be extremely frustrating, especially if poorly-matched hunters are pitted against a high-level monster. Due to the low number of players (it averages around 400 at the time of writing) there is no matchmaking to speak of and teams are often badly balanced as a result. There are also too few players who enjoy playing as monster which can lead to long waiting times. And yet despite all of these gripes I keep going back to the game because I love coop, and when it does go well it really is a satisfying game. I think Turtle Rock missed an opportunity with Evolve: there is the basis for a really good game here but, for whatever reasons, they dropped the ball. And I can understand why many people lost patience or grew bored with the game. But if you enjoy coop, and have a little patience, EVOLVE STAGE 2 is worth a try – it is free after all.    … Expand

    So after more than 200 hours with the game and all achievements taken, I found that this game becomes boring the more I play it.

It has been a month and a half since release and the game is still unbalanced. Some hunters are just useless and the Wraith's decoy is just unbelievably annoying, you spam it inside a dome and you barely get detected. I will not go into details about which hunters are the worst or almost unplayable but my point is that the game has not been balanced and even with the balance patch getting released, there will be new content which will make the game even more boring considering how much the new hunters cost (30$ for 4 hunters). This means that we won't enjoy the balanced game unless we buy the new hunters because who would want to play with the same old boring content. I bought the game for 34$ including the 4th monster and now TRS want me to pay nearly as much just to get 4 new hunters, that is unfortunately the main reason why this game is boring imo and could also be called pay to win. Match making is a shame too, 90% of the time, you end up in the same lobby that you were in just seconds ago, and what's worse is that it often makes you join an existing match multiple times (and wait for the map to load) when you have quit once before and waited for 1 minute (you have to wait 1 minute every time you quit an existing match) to be able to find another lobby (or the same lobby of course). I did enjoy this game up until the point when I realized that it is just a moneymaker for Turtle Rock Studios, so unless you have +100$ to spend on the game to not become boring after a week, I do not recommend it.

    I can also add that the developers are Microsoft whores that only care about XBOX and advertise XBOX as their platform of choice when this game is a CryEngine game and PC should be the #1 platform, but unfortunately, TRS failed at utilizing CE correctly and it shows in game. You CAN NOT change any graphical setting when you are in a match, you can't even change the resolution, now I would like someone to tell me what cryengine game doesn't let you change settings in-game. Oh and there is no console either.    … Expand

    As for all the hoo-ha about the DLC, I don't think there is a problem. Maps will always be free (they say) and new hunters/monsters add enough to the game to justify asking for money. I know most people disagree, but that is my opinion.

    As for the other modes (Rescue, Hatch, Defend) they seem more balanced, and specific hunters are more suited to certain modes (Lazarus and resurrect colonists in rescue, and Bucket can kill eggs very quickly by himself in Hatch.) I will confess I haven't played these modes much in my 200 hours, and wish there was a function where I could que for them directly, rather than having to que up for a whole evacuation game and hope I get one.    … Expand

    This game has an amazing idea.

    The idea is that four friends can come together to hunt giant monsters and have fun. And while in theory it's awesome, the reality is that this game isn't very fun all around. Encounters with the monsters loose their value after certain repetition. In the end, after a couple days this game seems old.

    - Enjoyable environmental layout and interesting characters, telling about the history of the colonisation.
    - Fun to play especially alone as the monster against other players.

    Cons:
    - Lack of content (limited to DLC) for example skin packs, season pass, with an exclusive content for a early buyer.
    - No meaningful story around main events (just randomly generated evacuation "story" and very lame ending) characters dialogue gets repetitive over time.
    - Character leveling does not satisfy enough, and only goal is just to reach the elite level, which unlocks elite skins for the characters (other skins only available with real money)

    Evolve is a enjoyable game, but it gives the constant feeling that it could've been better without the microtransaction (I can't blame on turtle rock studios, 2K had control on them and decided how content was splitted) Evolve had potential to be the next ground breaking competitive FPS shooter.
    The game broke apart when it got too repetitive and doesn't had any interesting story around the maps, characters or even monsters. e.g. From where monsters came from, characters talked about "secret agencies", abandoned planets that got dark and nobody didn't came back alive to tell what happened.
    Evolve is a great fun for awhile, and I hoped I could understand more about the story and the world, but huge gaps around maps,characters etc.) ruins the experience a bit while you play.
    You can only speculate what happened and create lores around maps and hunters.

Hunt (deathmatch), Rescue (Hunters recuse and escort human survivors to extraction points, monster attempt to kill survivors or hunters), and Nest (Hunters attempt to destroy monster eggs around the map, monster attempts to kill them or defend till time runs out) are the three available game modes with Evacuation serving as a version of game mode that mixes the three in a "week" of fighting and then introduces Defend as the final encounter (which is basically reversed Nest with some added bells and whistles).

    Now, to the million dollar question.. is it worth the price? And the answer if we look at the content released by pretty much any other game, would be a shoulder shrug and a not really. Does this make the game less fun? No, it doesn't... but their money making model is going to hurt them in the long game by ostracizing players who both see the glaring flaws in their content-starved release as well as have become insanely entitled by many F2P titles (Even in this genre one could look at Nosgoth as a F2P competitor)

    As far as how the game handles itself within the pvp space -- I'd say it does a good job. You have pretty solid balance with a few minor and non-game breaking exceptions and the game doesn't spoon feed you on what to do or how to do it, which does lead to the inevitable "X IS OP!!1111" cries on the forums. You also have a pretty wild skill cap difference from the players who have been with the game since mid-alpha, as well as some early indications of working hacks (neither of which is anything new, or specific to Evolve). The limited number of game modes and maps does yield some serious repetition early on, which will drive away heavy players earlier than many games do.. so hopefully Turtle Rock will stay on it's content release, and not try and charge players every time they push out a new tidbit of code.

    For what it does, I'd give Evolve an 7 of 10 with the caveat that the game should be doing considerably more given it's pricetag. A single player campaign would've gone a long way with the playerbase, as well as given Turtle Rock a chance to throw a little more backstory on the hunters and monsters into the mix... and only four game types is a little odd, especially considering that once of them is purely just deathmatch and the others really aren't anything truly new within the space.

    I'm having fun with the game, but I can certainly see how gamers on limited budgets would pass this one over.    … Expand

    Having played Evolve on PS4 for a few days, my initial impression is that it's a pretty good game. There are some really impressive things going on here. When in combat or active pursuit of a monster, the mood is tense and the action is thoroughly enjoyable. However, the game does drag a bit when when you haven't spotted the monster for a while your team is just chasing after startled birds. Playing as the monster is also quite a lot of fun and is a thrill when you win. As hunters, communication with your teammates is crucial, so having mics is a huge advantage.

    Wait times getting into a game seem a bit long at times, but I assume this will improve as more people (hopefully) buy the game and populate the servers.

    I also like that they have an offline solo mode that allows you to practice with bots while also leveling up skills.

    Overall, great concept for a game and I hope that it'll pick up in popularity. It can be repetitive but this should not be mistaken for shallow gameplay. Getting the basics of movement and skills/abilities down and learning the maps is just the first step. I'll tentatively give Evolve a '7' but this could end up being a solid 8 or even a 9 once some of the kinks are worked out.    … Expand

    the concept is good,but really not fun enough.By the way,the graphics are good though,cryengine always look gorgeous.The monsters are too strong,you just need to run and eat until lv3 and kill all the hunters.i think 2k need to nerf the monsters or buff the hunters. i think    Evolve is like a free OLG, but the problem is it cost too much,59.99 to do the same thing over and over again,

    I love multiplayer shooters, and was excited for Evolve, but it's just not fun. When playing as the Hunters, you end up just aimlessly running around forever looking for the monster; it gets boring fast. And to succeed as the Monster, you have to hide from the Hunters for a long time before you're strong enough to fight back, so there ends up just being way to much time playingI love multiplayer shooters, and was excited for Evolve, but it's just not fun.

Also, the time between matches is absurdly long.… Expand

    Evolve is unquestionably one of the best multiplayer games to arrive in the last few years.

    When Evolve plays nice and doesn’t annoy you with technical problems, it is kind of fun, provided you play not more than one campaign a day. But, really, you can get the same fun in any decent f2p shooter. Like Team Fortress 2, for example.

    Imbalanced and repetitive to a disappointing degree, but when it hits the mark it can be great. [April 2015, p.56]
