Evolve review - MMGN

MMGN writes: The team’s on a knife’s edge. The planet Shear, mankind’s most valuable asset in deep space, is on the brink. Four days into our five-day expedition, the number of casualties is colossal. The Monsters are winning, and we’ve reached the point of no return. We’ll die here, but only in a blaze of glory. We won’t go down without a fight. Complete evacuation is futile, but we must save what we can. This is Evolve, and the battle is our destiny.

As I delve deep into the pits of a dying world, I realise that this is unlike any battle I’ve fought in before. I’ve battled with my comrades in the past, but these foes aren’t brain-dead zombies: they’re evolving, mutating monsters, and the world is changing with them. I’m wielding a mini-gun, and my trusty flamethrower has my back for that unexpected attack. Next to me is Lazarus, a skilled medic I trust with my life. Hank protects us with his powerful shield, while Maggie knows exactly how to trap the beast best to our advantage. You couldn’t ask for a better team.

It’s a balanced, effective team, one that knows where to go and why. In our four-day Evacuation, we’ve gone on the Hunt for gnarly beasts from another world, blasted away the eggs of a Nest, raced in to Rescue colonists, and battled against a horde to Defend a refueling station. These fights have left lasting scars on a battered world. I’ve got a few scars too, but you know what? I’ve loved every damn minute of it!

This is exactly what I expected. Looking forward to the multiplayer action.

For me it hit the boring line too much. Evolve should be called Revolve.

Report: Evolve 2 Was Once in Development, Concept Art Reveals Scrapped Sequel

It has been recently revealed by an artist that a sequel to the 2015 title Evolve was in the works. However, this project wouldn't last long.

Didn’t bother with the first one.

TheColbertinator289d ago

All I wanted was Left 4 Dead 3 instead

Abnor_Mal289d ago

Was this game ahead of its time? A few years later games like Dead By Daylight, Friday the 13th and other asymmetrical games exploded onto the scene.

MeteorPanda289d ago

if lm not mistaken it started the asymmetrical pvp matches. Evolves logo was a nod to their concept.

The_Blue289d ago

They should have because I played the first one when it was already dead

‘Evolve: Stage 2’ is back from the dead as peer-to-peer servers come back online

From NME: "Evolve: Stage 2 had its multiplayer servers shut down back in 2018, but today players are once again able to matchmake and join peer-to-peer multiplayer games.

Several months ago, peer-to-peer functionality was lost for Evolve Legacy, which was the only way fans of the series could play with friends. Upon a multitude of players reaching out to publisher 2K, the issue was eventually fixed earlier in July. It seems 2K have gone a step further now, and reinstated peer-to-peer and matchmaking functionality for Evolve: Stage 2 after four years."

^^this, I have so many awesome skins on Xbox that I’d rather not lose

Germaximus1379d ago

Yes so far because it's just the servers alone coming on and the console version never had the free-to-play update.

I imagine if they find people playing the PC version and enough players are enjoying it then they'd probably reconsider opening console as well but I wouldn't count on it.

The game was epic as a monster. Hunters were really boring to play as to me.

LordoftheCritics1379d ago

I used to play this a bit.

Was kinda fun.
