NEW YORK: I came, I saw, I conquered in Evolve. Evolve is an experience some may want to skip out on, with its odd DLC and Pre-Order structure, it may feel like an incomplete game to some. Evolve has had a lot of hate thrown at it in the Past few days, none of which have anything to do with the actual gameplay of Evolve.
DLC this and DLC that, Pre-Order now and get X for free. Evolve definitely took the VERY low road when it came to Pre-Order DLC and DLC, but it doesn’t make it a necessarily bad game. Evolve is actually pretty fun, given that you have friends to play with and the monster isn’t a complete moron.
That is Evolve’s biggest perk and flaw at the same time, as a consumer who has friends and plays games with them, I also deeply hate those friends at times and blow off steam by blowing them off on Steam, Evolve won’t be one of the games I play without them and if you don’t have friends who play Evolve, your experience may be slightly gimped.
In Evolve you play as either a monster or a group of them. AKA Hunters! Joking, but you probably understood my joke.
Anyway, the monster is basically the perfect beast that is reeking havoc on the planet Shear, the hunters are sent to stop it from killing the entire World basically.
There are several different match types, from standard hunting matches to the more complicated and time consuming Evacuation mode. Evacuation is where it is at, but right now we’re talking about the game as a whole. Anyway, Evolve is Hunters vs Monster(s), where the Hunters hunt and the Monster monst or, well, the monster hunts as well. In Evolve the Monster needs to FEED on surrounding wildlife to gain armor and level up.
The more he levels, the stronger he gets. The biggest issue might be that you can kill him REALLY fast and easily if he makes one mistake at the start of the game. The monster also needs to be really confident as well, because if the Trapper throws their arena up, he needs to seek & destroy. The game in the beginning relies heavily on the Monster’s ability to seek out prey and avoid the Hunters. If the Monster makes a misstep or a miscalculation within the first 5 minutes, sadly the game will be a very quick one.
