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.
