The first time I heard about the concept for Evolve of 4 players going against 1 Monster player, I had my doubts that this concept would work. I didn’t think about checking the game out until it started earning all sorts of awards from many different review sites. So I decided to buy the game to see how I felt about the game; and I can gladly say that those review sites were spot on, with all of those accolades being presented to Evolve.
Evolve is an addicting, graphically nice, masterpiece of balance that doesn’t fail to its incredible expectations that it presents itself. There are strengths and weaknesses of every character that allows for either team to win. Examples such as with the Wraith Monster that has the lowest health out of all the Monsters, but uses deception and speed to destroy the other Hunters that have an assortment of countering gadgets that they can use to destroy the Monster.

Evolve is a strategic game that surprised me in its complexity and replayability because the addition of many different modes and various characters to play as. In Evolve, there are more modes besides Hunt Mode that people can play, such as Nest Mode which has the Hunters track down and destroy eggs that are all over the map. While the Monster can evolve to become stronger or create a minion by forcing an egg to hatch; which forces the Hunters to deal with the Monster and his minion while trying to annihilate the eggs. Then there is Rescue Mode, in which the Hunters have to search and rescue victims that need to be revived all around the map, then brought to a teleport pad. Finally, the last and most extensive mode is Evacuation Mode which takes place over 5 days with all these modes. Throughout the different modes, the environment changes due to the outcome of previous days. An example is when the Monster wins, in the next match the hostile wildlife attacks the Hunters more. Then the in last day the Hunters have to defend generators to end the match.
Although Evolve is a great and entertaining game, there are still negatives. My two main problems with it are with the progression system and the numerous, long loading times that plague Evolve. First, the progression system takes way to long when you first start playing the game; so all the numerous and enjoyable characters are locked until many hours of playing the game. Second, I absolutely hated all the long-ass load screens that you have to wait through to play the game. There are about 3-4 load screens that players have to endure, just to see if they can join a game.

To conclude my review, Evolve is a fun and methodically thought out game that I was shocked by. If your the type of person that just wants to hunt down and destroy a gigantic monster or wants to feel like a complete beast of destruction, then Evolve is the game to buy.
