    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.

    Good idea, terrible monetization, and organization of this game. Very disappointing. But it is free to play so if you want to check it out, you don't have much to lose.

    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

    The basic idea of it is seducing. However, instead of nourishing their baby, Turtle Rock decided to spoil it with lots of marketing content. The matchmaking system is really poor since the start and has never been updated. Instead, they released stupid DLCs with useless characters, monsters and maps.
    Very disappointing.

    It has quite a steep learning curve. The metagaming in this one is strong. Good team composition and communication is key to survive the horrors of Shear.

    I paid a mere 28€ for the Monster Edition of the game (keystore FTW) and another 17€ or so for the 'Hunter Season Pass' (they should have come up with a better name for this as this is 'season pass' thing is just a full on lie). So in total I didn't spend more than 45€ on this game, which I think is more than a fair price for the fun I've had until now.

    I love the characters, each of them with their own abilities and place in the group. Assault hurts, support "supports", medic cures and trapper "traps", All of them are essential for the whole game. This team-work, apart from being essential, is amazing! True that Bucket may be a bit OP, though xD. Being the monster is also entertaining, although I prefer playing as a hunter. There are some original mechanics, as the fact that you have to follow footprints, or the flying birds which tell you where the monster is. I have an small complait, and that is the OP of wraith´s "duplication" ability, even though its good to have varied monsters, I think thats too much. Maps are ok, animations are ok, AI IS EXTREMELY GOOD. game modes are scarce, but good. Hunting, or the main game mode, isnt that special, but defence or nest are amazing. I guess that compensates it, even though there is a huge lack of modes.

    The bads are that it iss extremely dependant on the ability odf the playeer. Some games will last 25 mins, and will be immersive and exciting, others will last 3 mins or 45, being a walking simulator. The biggest WTF of the game is its pricing. WFT, 2K, the game, for what it offers, should be a 30 € game, even a free to play (although thats asking for too much) and DLCs are, in total 37 bucks, like... are you even serios. We accept the lack of characters, monsters and game modes, but not this. NOT THIS. Bad, 2k, really bad! Thats the perfect way of ruining a game that would have been a breath of fresh air for the shooter genre. Just, ugh.

    Evolve is a massive cash cow and a disgrace to gaming, it has anti consumer practices like day 1 DLC and a "PC Monster race edition" that adds nothing but more DLC, this game feels really empty without all the DLC and paying EXTRA to get features THAT WERE IN THE GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE is bullsh*t.

    Now that's out of the way how about the gameplay? Well it's decent at best, it gets very repetitive very quickly as the game only features one gamemode, YES I know there's more, but the only gamemode that anyone plays is Hunt while the others are never touched. Playing as the monster is kinda cool, but it should have been in first person, so I had an idea who I was killing. Playing as the hunters was boring for me because all of the characters feel like carbon copies of other FPS classes, except the Trapper who is unique.

    The story? It's terrible ESPECIALLY THE ENDING, and the game has next to new character, all of the characters are all bland and boring.

    The graphics while amazing, you do need a powerful PC for it to run on max settings, overall the world of Evolve looks great!

    Overall Evolve is a massive cash cow and a disgrace to gaming, plus I predicted that this game would suffer the same fate as Titanfall in my steam review, "Hyped with lots of DLC, dies within a month" and I was right, right now in the time of this review the original Killing Floor had more players (And it's dieing because of Killing Floor 2 and the lack of new content) then Evolve, that's a joke, like this game and it's precious DLC life support.

    Whenever you see 2K publish or Turtle Rock Studios develop a new game, just remember they shat out this massive lazy cash cow, and don't fall into the same trap, especially 2K, they love chopping up content and selling it as DLC, look at Borderlands 2, the Pre-Sequel and the Sid Meier's games, look at all that DLC they sell, and it's getting worse.    … Expand

Evolve has problems in the techincal department too, pop in textures in a crowded multiplayer mode, laggy movements during **** hits the fan sequences and muddy textures. Evolve is a game only for next gen devices, but the PC version looks way better than the PS4 version, I demoed at my friend's house. There are a lot of jerks filling up servers, so when you boot up the game, expect a 30 minute wait to get into a match. Evolve is online only, so that means you need a good internet hookup and plenty for friends to play with, otherwise it will be horde mode with creepy aliens for you, my friend. I liked the E3 announcement and got the game because of the ideas and interesting multiplayer modes. But, Evolve really gave me the lukewarm game I didn't expect. The bland visuals, lag, crowded servers and the unfair purchase system make Evolve, one to get once it lands up in a sale bin at Walmart.… 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

You can pick out the trapper silhouette with enough practice, which makes evading the trapper's dome and evolving to level 3 a simple matter.

    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

Please do look at accounts giving this game 9s and 10s. You will find that most of these accounts only have 1 review (of Evolve) and all were made recently. Coincidence ? No, just UNFAIR MARKETING.
    Here goes my review:
    Sadly I have to say I am disappointed and I feel scammed out of my money (I pre-ordered). We were promised a full game, while in reality we get like 40 % of the game for 60 $ and the rest is DLC that will cost you more than 100 $ to unlock if you want it all. That much DLC in a 60 $ title is a disgrace, and a lot of it is playable characters not just cosmetics.
    Another problem is lack of variety, each character only has 2 unique skills, and you have 12 characters to play with, but they play the same other than their look, voice and those 2 skills, such as mines or gas grenades. Monster are way better and more unique but there are only 3 to choose from. There are more hunters and monsters, but all sold as DLC.
    Maps are extremely boring and repetetive, which is a shame seeing that this is a game about hunting, so enviroment should be a priority. Each and every map consists of a small complex of buildings and a patch of wilderness surrounding it. Sometimes it's rocky, sometimes swampy and sometimes the rocks are covered in snow, but do not mistake it for variety, all the textures are equally gray and uninspired. Each map has the same animals and plants. There is only one original and fun map called "Aviary" which has a cool dome with tropical enviroment inside and winter outside.
    I also sadly have to add that the game suffers from numerous bugs, the matchmaking is absolutely horrible, not letting you really affect what class you play as (you can choose, but the system overrides that easy 75 % of the time). Not enough players to find a match on an afternoon a month after release do not help. You often get kicked out of lobbies, the game tends to freeze or get you spawned under the map, the net code is a glitchy mess and should still be in beta. Cheating is rampant and leaderboards broken since day 1.
    It's not all bad though !Balance is okayish for release day, no character is useless and nobody is truly OP. The monster gameplay really reward clever tactics and punishes mindless run-feed-fight mentality. The hunters rely heavily on co-op, so getting some friends is highly recommended.
    If it gets on sale, get it. Otherwise stay clear of this disgusting cash-grab. The core game is fun to play, and the game would get probably 7 or 8 if not the huge issues that I described. 4/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good Game!

    Wenn alle Spieler gut sind, wird es ein langes aktionreiches Spiel. Wenn ein Jäger oder das Monser schlecht ist, ist es schnell vorbei. Kommt es zum Kampf, wird das Spiel sehr schnell und aktionreich, alle müssen gut zusammen funktionieren.

    Das Monster zu töten ist schwer, es zu spielen rel. leicht.

    Abwechslung kommt durch die vielen verschiedenen Charakter rein. Jeder "Jäger" (3 pro Klasse) spielt sich komplett anders als der Vorgänger.

    Positiv ist meines erachtens gerade, dass das Monster so schwer zu töten ist. Man muss wirklich gut zusammenspielen, sonst wird man gefressen!

    Nicht SOO gut gelungen ist die Minimap und es gibt zu wenig optische Abwechslung in Sachen Maps. Auch wenn Sie unterschiedlich aufgebaut sind, sieht irgendwie doch jede Map aus wie die davor. Hier muss sich auf jeden Fall noch etwas tun!

    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.

    No real skill involved in the first person element. And as the monster you just simply run and away from the humans until you in a position to attack them once you have fully evolved.

    In my option in needed to me much more close quarter fights when the monster is small, with the map opening up more as it evolves bigger with more several stages and more incentive to at least confront the humans or at least tactically get past them i.e you have to go through a small area somewhere they have set up traps.

    As a human its very boring to chase after the monster for 20mins and he just runs away then fully evolves than you get to fight.

    The first person elements don't really involve any skills and its very unrewarding. I feel gutted my Mrs's had to throw money in the bin as the trade in value is terrible (probably because everyone else is getting rid of it too).

    Evolve is a really good game.

    As the monster you really feel like someone is hunting you. It really makes you a bit paranoid.

    The gameplay is really balanced. Both team have the same chance of winning. But winning as the hunter requires teamwork.

    People are giving this game a negative review because of the DLC's. But they are only cosmetic and do not change the gameplay. So giving this game a bad review only because of the DLC's is stupid. The DLC's are only cosmetic and only change the skin of your weapon.

    Yes the DLC is too expensive, but no one is forcing you to pay for it at all. If no-one buys it, 2k and Turtle rock will get the message and be forced to change up their strategy.

    - 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.

    There are parts of evolve I really love. The feeling that you, as the hunter, have just become the hunted when the monster reaches level three.

Its all very well done and creates a unique and satisfying experience. But as withThere are parts of evolve I really love. The feeling that you, as the hunter, have just become the hunted when the monster reaches level three. The feeling of raw power when you tear a group of hunters apart one by one as the titan. The relief of downing the monster when you are the sole hunter remaining. Its all very well done and creates a unique and satisfying experience. But as with many games released in current years I can't help but feel as though it came up short of what it could have been. The biggest issue with Evolve is the disappointing lack of content upon release. Offline you're restricted to a tutorial and quick match mode that acts as a practice zone to hone your skills before jumping online. This is where the meat of the game takes place, but sadly that meat leaves your inner monster starved.

    At launch you have a total of twelve hunters and three monsters available. You'll begin with one of each and will need to unlock the others by leveling up the starter group. This is done easily by using each character's skills during matches. For the tracker, my personal favorite, you need to follow your pet trapjaw, successfully deploy traps and deal damage with your rifle. After you get the hang of your class's skill set the leveling process shouldn't take all that long. Each new character has a new set of skills that generally serve the same function, but do so in different ways. Outside of the characters there are various maps and game modes. You can jump into a quick skirmish which is your standard hunters hunting the monster, or you can join a five game set with several game modes such as rescuing civilians or protecting power generators. This five game set has a ton of possible combinations; over 800,000 according to the game itself. The problem I've had with this idea of unlimited replayability is that often the games, regardless of map or mode, devolve into a simple game of kill the monster before it kills you.

    Perhaps more time with the game will unveil some interesting tactics that make each match a unique experience. But thus far that isn't the case. I can't tell you how many different maps there are, because I can't really tell the difference between maps. This is a slight exaggeration but the point remains. I haven't noticed different maps creating different strategies or giving us exciting new aesthetics. This is a missed opportunity as a game taking place on different worlds could have given us exceptional environments. Instead we're given jungle after jungle with some complexes and caves scattered within. The wildlife within the maps does give an added layer to the hunt. Whether you're the monster or the hunter you need to remain vigilant of what is around you. A team of hunters that splits up can easily be picked off one by one if they aren't careful of where they're stepping. You'll also want to keep an eye out for albino wildlife as they offer buffs to the group that manages to down them.

    One thing that I simply can't get over is the excessive amount of DLC Evolve offers at release. Already a full priced game at $60 there is an additional $60 worth of skins that can be purchased, or less if you go ahead and grab the season pass. DLC like this shouldn't really be an issue as its purely optional, but its somewhat frustrating to see how much of it there is when the game itself suffers from a lack of content. If you're going to release a game with purchasable DLC then you better make sure players feel like they got their money's worth with the original $60 purchase. Its unfortunate, but it seems to be the trend in games like this.

    While this review may come across as a little harsh, know that I truly do enjoy the game. Its a ton of fun and can be a satisfying challenge. Its always refreshing when a game attempts a new approach and its exciting when they manage to pull it off. The online-focused nature of Evolve will keep you hooked for hours, and with the expectation of future content such as more hunters and monsters it shouldn't wear out its welcome as long as it has Turtle Rock's support. While it does have some important errors, the core experience of the game is very well done.    … Expand

    After 20+ hours of game time, I still haven't unlocked all of the characters available in the base game - not because unlocking them is a chore (it isn't) but because I just enjoyed playing the characters I already have that I just haven't gotten around to attempting to unlock the others.

    Let me start off with - I made an account just because Evolve was getting so much hate, and felt like I should share my experiences with the game.

    Lets talk about the price. How are people still complaining about game prices? With so many games and developers out there, do they not realize those people have to make a living (not to mention money is required to develop better games)? If    Let me start off with - I made an account just because Evolve was getting so much hate, and felt like I should share my experiences with the game.

    Lets talk about the price. How are people still complaining about game prices? With so many games and developers out there, do they not realize those people have to make a living (not to mention money is required to develop better games)? If they sold it cheaper, it would be even "worse" than most of you claim it is. For any game I plan on playing for a while, I always buy the "DLC expansion pass" because it's worth it in the long run and saves you money. Not to mention there are other sites that buy the game and bulk and you can actually get it cheaper than the$60-$80 if desired.

    Now that that is out of the way, on to game play.

    I never really was a huge fanboy of the developers, although I did enjoy the Left for Dead games. I keep reading how people are calling it "repetitive". While that is true in some aspects, I have had precisely ZERO games that turn out identical or even close to it. Just because there are only a minimal amount of characters and monsters (right now... there will be more) doesn't mean it's repetitive. Is Call of Duty repetitive? Absolutely. But does it succeed? Yes, because the player versus player aspect keeps it fresh and you can always expect something different. What I'm getting at is games are what you make them. I honestly could care less about 99% of game story lines, so my opinion on this might be skewed a little. I find the game play to be extremely fun and unlike a lot of other games I play. The comical remarks the hunters make before leaving the jump ship are enough for me.

    I play with friends of mine, which makes it that much more fun to coordinate splits, cut offs, and calls while hunting the monster. I find this is where people might be going wrong, playing with the random people. Playing with friends always makes games more enjoyable (in my opinion). While some people may be fine with that, I am a competitive player, and like to know that I have the best team going into the fight with me. That's hard to come by when you get qued as a undesired class with people who don't coordinate well (or at all).

    Last point I'd like to make is, your negative reviews with little detail doesn't help improve a game, all it does is make it worse. I can honestly say that I can't think of a game that I would rate 0/10. If you truly believe that it deserves 0/10, go into some good detail. When you realize you can't go ahead and bump it up to at least a 1. Stop being butthurt about the price and play the game for what it is or don't buy it. You're only hindering the developers by not giving useful feedback. I would have rated this a 9/10. but since everyone who seems to not have enjoyed it rated it lower than they should have, I will rate it higher than I should have.

    TL;DR

    Games have been $60 for a long time. They're only going to go up. Get used to it. Games are cheaper than ever.

    The game isn't truly repetitive, PvP combat makes every match a unique experience.

    It's a lot more fun to play with friends that you can coordinate with; it's a team based.

    If you're going to rate 0/10, you better make some damn good points.    … Expand

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

    Sadly you can't edit reviews on metacritic so i have to write a new one. Why i'm doing it? Basically i feel that i have to make some clarification of my position after i saw TotalBiscuit's video about DLCs and Evolve.

    So ok, at the moment we have 2 types of DLCs in Evolve: skin packs and unlocks. I'm strongly against both of this types of DLCs. Why? Ok, let's start with skin packs. I have nothing against em in F2P games. It's basically "i like this game and want to support developers while look cool so this is an ideal solution". Yeap, i agree with that. But not in full price games. I don't get this TB's argument that "well, some devs have nothing to do in the end of dev circle so they make skins and **** that will be sold to you". So i miss the point when development circle became my problem. Maybe i'm old or something but i remember times when character skins or additional (secret) characters were unlocks (for some in-game achievements) and absolutely free. And now it's DLCs! And i must be ok with that? No, thank you. Everyone who said "oh, it's nothing! It's just a cosmetic things" miss the point that most of people who disagree with that have. Yes, i can buy it or not, that's not affect anything. But my point that AAA devs sells you less and less as a "complete game" every year and milk cash from you for thing that were free before. Especially now, after so much AAA titles turn out to be complete disasters.
    Now to unlocks. This one is simple. You can't trust developers with this one. It can be ok and you can unlock everything just by playing a few hours or that can be practically impossible (or require insane amount of time). Again why not to make every option available at the beginning? Oh, some people like this rank progression system and rewards each level? No problem! Make that skins as rewards, not DLCs. Everyone is happy. Except devs not concern with our happiness any more. Just about how to get into our wallets.
    You see, now devs take away things from you. One thing at each step, PRing that hard as some good thing. And i see some people are very happy with that. Like mod support. Sure there is no mod suport in Evolve. Otherwise who will ever buy your DLC if you can simply mod all that skins/characters/monsters into the game? And let me remind you that a lot of great games appear as mods: Team Fortress, DotA, Counter-Strike, Natural Selection, DayZ, The Stanley Parable and so on. A lot just stayed as mods. Now we more and more denied of that.
    And this glorified "12 unique hunters"? Oh come on, this is a skip plus locked set of weapons. Let's see, in Battlefield 4 (game with it's own huge problems) there are over 100 weapons to choose from and over 40 gadgets. Combine that with various attachments and scopes. Can you imagine how much "unique hunters" can you possibly make out of that? Can't you see that this "12 unique hunters" actually is just "less customization"? Why are some of players are so happy about that? I can't get it.
    In one point i agree with TB totally. Yes, Evolve is mediocre product and deserve 5 or 6 out of 10 if not all this DLCs/pre-order **** Just so happen due to poor PR and/or marketing that Evolve make it boil out for a lot of people. So no, not only Evolve is guilty in that regard but yes, i believe did a lot of things wrong (tons of day one DLCs, pricing of the game and DLCs and etc). So i believe it's ok to rate this game at 0 to send a message to game developers/publishers that we don't want **** like this at all. You can agree with that or not, i'm fine in any case. Just remember that attacking personalities and saying that everyone who doesn't agree that Evolve is wonderful are "trolls", "rage kids" or something speaks badly about you not the person you are attacking...    … 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

    I'm Not giving it a 0 as its still playable with out the DLC but is just feel like a game haft of the price of the base game should have been around $35.00. SOooooo the base game is fun, I feel like I should hate the game on principle, BUT ! yes there is all was but. I do feel that you can still have some fun with this if you do wait for steam to put this thing on sell for 60 with all the DLC... why are you still reading this? go play a game or something.    … Expand

    Currently, I own only the base game, and have played primarily medics.

    To start with the thing everyone seems to pick on first, the price. This is by far the most I have ever spent on one game, but I consider it well worth it's price. I was extremely hesitant to get the game at such a high price, but I was able to play in the beta version of game, and enjoyed it so much that I did purchase the base game (three monsters, twelve hunters - the only ones currently available to play in game). And I've not regretted it. I've had an amazing amount of fun with just the three medics, and I'm looking forward to unlocking the other hunter characters in the other classes and learning how to play them. I easily see myself sinking a few hundred hours into this game without getting bored. Not to mention learning to play the monsters, which have a whole other learning curve to go through.

    Balancing - I hear this both ways, people say the monsters or hunter are either too easy or too hard to play, either the hunters are overpowered or the monsters are. In my opinion, based on the numerous hunts I've participated in with both incredibly skilled monsters and very unskilled ones, with a great team of hunters and terrible ones, they're fairly evenly balanced. A lot of whether or not a hunter or monster is "overpowered" or not depends on whether that characters play style suits the player. Even hunters in the same class play very, very differently. Some suit a player, others don't. When they suit a player's play style, they can seem overpowered, but it's really just player skill. Some times it's also a matter of player mood. A lot of people say Lazarus is the weakest medic, but I play all three medics fairly evenly. I don't find any one of them any better than the other. Which I play depends a lot on the mode of the game, and my mood when I'm playing. I play Val when I'm prefer to stay out of the main battle and aide from a distance, I play Lazarus when I'm inclined to be sneaky and stealthy, and on defense modes, and I play Caira when I prefer to be running up at the front lines. I've had great battles with all of them against good monsters (including the wraith). That said, it took me suffering through many a terrible battle when I first started playing Lazarus, until I figured out how to play him properly. Now I find him just as fun to play as any other the other medics. This goes the same for the monsters, some will suit your play style others won't. I saw I guy struggle with Goliath during the first four rounds of an evacuation match, only to unlock the Kraken in the last round and pummel us all the first time he played it. I've seen other players do terribly at the Kraken because they can't coordinate all it's long ranged attacks. The only exception to this is the Wraith, which does need some adjusting done to it's balancing, as it is currently very difficult for a less than proficient hunter team to take out even a reasonably skilled wraith player, but it's by no means impossible. That said, the game is barely a week old, and there will be sure to be balance tweaks soon enough to fix any balance problems.

    Game play pacing - Some people complain that the game is boring and repetitive, or has too much "chase" time playing the monster. I disagree with this completely. If you're bored with this game, it is either because you're not playing it right (AKA you're not taking the time to learn how to play your characters or you're not playing as part of a the team), or because this is not a typical first person shooter. I personally do not like first person shooters. I find them annoying, boring, repetitive and generally lacking in any kind or actual necessity for player learned skills and tactics. Yet I love Evolve. This is the first game I have ever felt like I was reasonable competent at as part of a team, and it is precisely because it isn't just a "shoot everything that walks by" type of game. In fact, if you spend the game shooting every wildlife animal that crosses you're path, you'll never catch the monster, and likely will get yourself killed a good number of times and irritate your teammates who have to keep coming back to revive you. It's better just to hop over them all and keep chasing. Learning how to predict the monster's movement, communicating with and working together effectively with your team (push to talk comes in handy here), and knowing how to play your specific character (hunter or monster) all go a long way to succeeding in Evolve. Evolve is not a typical shooter game, and in my opinion it shouldn't be. The fact that it isn't like every other shooter game out there is exactly what I like about it. If you want to play a typical shoot em' up game there are plenty of other games out there for you. Evolve is not one of them. It's a game of mind games and stealth and tactics and teamwork.    … Expand

Sumando a esto, la cantidad de combinaciones posibles en cuanto a cazadores, monstruos, mapas y perks (sin contar a los jugadores en sí) crea innumerables posibilidades para cada partida. Entiendo que el costo del producto es algo elevado y el hecho de que saquen DLCs antes de liberar el producto es algo... inquietante. Pero le tengo mucha fe a este juego y realmente creo que vale cada centavo; se ve que los desarrolladores le están poniendo muchas ganas y responden a las inquietudes de los jugadores con la mayor presteza posible. Esto último se notó, por ej, en la velocidad para encontrar una partida en la Beta que era prácticamente inmediata (a diferencia del Alpha donde tardaba muchísimo). Y me parece ridículo que haya gente que le de mala reputación al juego solamente por el costo; este no es un parámetro para determinar la calidad de un juego… Si no quieren, o no pueden, pagar lo que se pide simplemente no lo hagan y listo; nadie los obliga…

    The game is good for a short while but there is just not enough here. A proper campaign is needed.

The fact that that only one monster is available from the start is also a bit disappointing as it gets repetitive really quickly.

    Best played with friends. Cat and mouse with perks. Day 1 DLC is cosmetic, future DLC is for further features. However if stock is bought all features are unlocked for everybody off the bat.

    Bit pricey, which is what prevents this getting higher than 8, but whats there is good. Dont listen to the hype, try it yourselves, i thought i would hate the idea this game brings but turned out i like it.

Mostly due to the pure lack of content of wait.. you don't even get most of the content unless you pay a stupid amount of money which then unlocks the already in game day one 3 hunter classes and crappy monster skins. I personally believe this alone should be criminal. That aside there's next to no maps which all look the same you seriously cannot tell the difference and game play that is all the same and boring after the very first match you'll play!

    Lack of content. as stated above, you played one match you might as well stop there its all the same. Only 3 monsters! very little hunter Classes, and if you dont pay for the full special edition you miss out on them all. no maps, the ones that there is are all identical literally.

    I must be honest. Initially I thought the game doesn't offer much. I thought it to be confusing, slow moving, with a movement system that felt sluggish and I felt shots didn't really connect.

    For some reason Turtle Rock Studios managed to hit the nail on the head once you begin to understand what kind of game this is. What lies between all the hunting and evading, the roaring and the shooting surprisingly does work. The amount of potential you have for teamplay between the 4 out of 12 hunters that go after one of three monsters is simply stunning. The thrill evading the hunters as a monster is genuinely real and rarely have you felt the need for such finely tuned and well thought out movement with such a seemingly large and fearsome protagonist.

    Imagine you are Sam Fisher escaping a bunch of hunters that complement each other perfectly. Only that instead of Sam Fisher you are a moving, jumping, climbing house. Yes once again for some reason it all works.

    For once all I can say is, just play it. Play it to understand it. It isn't grasped in 3-4 matches.

    The content in this game does not worth $50. They could have put a tutorials for every char as least, when you have only one game mode, the least would be to explain it correctly.
    At the end of the day, monster or hunter, you spend 15 minutes to run around before having one or two messy teamfight where on side wins. Would be better if 3 friends had the game, but I can't recommand it to them.

    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.
