Ever since playing the big alpha, it's gotten to the point where you just hate the wait of this game's release & now that it's out, I can finally feel at ease. In other case, it's a really fun game, with alot of excitement. When you play as the hunter, you FEEL like a hunter, hunting this 5 story monster to save humanity. And if you play the monster, you feel big & tough, like you can dominate anything in the world of Evolve trying to destroy the humans for disturbing their world. If you're a beginner, You can play solo to get some practice in before you go live for the real experience. Overall, this game is something you will never let go. You play one match, you never want to put the controller down. Even if you have to use the bathroom.

I ended up falling in love so to say with the monster design as well as the hunters

I remember hearing about this game a few years back and having anticipation about it due to the developers being the same ones who developed Left 4 Dead in 2008. The prior game gave me the best of memories and friends I now communicate regularly with. Yet, my issue about this game is how it did not mirror this. I understand how a 4v4 multiplayer environment (Left 4 Dead) is different from a 4v1 (Evolve), but the feelings of anticipation and want for this new game died out after 20 minutes into my first match. Visually wise, an A+. This is a next gen game and the display it gives is what is expected. Quality looking environment and characters. Story wise, F-. I know that we are entering a new age of gaming, but the plot that TRS (Turtle Rock Studios) had given us for this game is lackluster. Any amount of story that exists in Evolve is through repititious gameplay (nothing reallly changes in each playthrough in terms of information/plot) and there is minimal dialog to develop each character in the game. Gameplay, B-. The concept of the Evolve multiplayer is amazing. I love it, a 4v1, you get to show off your skills with a team or on your own! But very rarely, are you matched with teammates or opponents who understand their role and can produce results. I am taking this point from my own gameplay experience. Even though the game is filled with indepth tutorials for each character/role/monster, people yet to see the team aspect of the game. Overall B. This is not Left 4 Dead where four survivors attempt to survive in the world they used to call earth. This is Evolve where in each playthrough, you have four out of the total twelve hunters hunt down one of any three monsters on the planet Sheer. It is a different experience for each game. I, myself, over anticipated what the game was going to give me, I wish I hadn't, but I was seeking a quality game, not a sub-par pass time. Unfortunately I have to lose some of myself when I load this game because I know I will not have a good time, but I do like the gameplay concept, not that the community can follow through, but I am always hoping for that chance for this game where I will have teammates who are cognizant of their role and an opponent who offers a challenge. If you seek a competitive community, you are forced to search online for them via reddit or their own forums, and this is another thing. A leaderboard exists for each hunter/monster, but no "ranked" mode exists.

I thought it was good. The graphics are nice, match making could be quicker, the content could be better, and it is a bit repetitive after awhile. Overall, still a good game.

you will play alone as the moster getting hunted or with 3 other hunters against the monster. to me this game can get repetitive. BUT i still keep coming back to it, the controls and shooting are very solid and satisfying and if needed the AI will carry its own weight if enough people dont join a match. is it wroth $60? the answer in my opinion is no. the maps all have to of a familiar feeling to them and the progression system is awful. 2nd and 3rd teir monsters and hunters are not exactly more powerful than the default hunters and monsters so why should we have to use these default characters to unlock other chacters with nothing more than same class slightly different strategy? makes no sense to me. this aint CoD of BF or titanfall so it is a change of pace from those formulas. this has cosmetic dlc which i have no problem with but with the lack of things to do where all you do is play cat and mouse this would ave been better suited as a $40 game wih even more and elaborate cosmetic dlc. ALL FUTURE MAPS TO THIS GAME WILL BE FREE AS STATED BY TURTLE ROCK STUDIOS only skins will have a price tag. this game in all honesty is a toss up. if you are interested then go for it and play this if not your not missing much either.
