Evolve Review | RealGamerNewz

Tristan Werbe of RGN: "The game has little to nothing to offer in terms of an engaging musical score. There’s basically bland generic music playing during menus and loading sequences with nothing too impressive during gameplay either. The game’s sound effects are impressive though, as it has a lot of different creatures, weapons, and weather sequences fleshed out quite well."

Finally someone's got some sense. What a joke of a game. Repetitive

Eldyraen4095d ago (Edited 4095d ago )

I enjoyed it--when it was fun. When its not it is one of the most tedious games I've ever played.

Unfortunately it is one of the most inconsistantly enjoyable shooters I've ever played as the idea wasn't bad but just in practice it is all over the board depending on who you play with. Playing with friends can help alleviate things somewhat as you can enjoy the social aspect more but even that can have its sore spots (too much of the same as people often play similarly game to game much of the time).

Evolve is just a hard game to review as your experience is based entirely on who you play with. When its fun its great but its not consistant enough for me to agree with most high reviews. I don't think its necessarily a 5 or anything but 6 to low 7s makes sense to me.

The review was pretty spot on with how I felt but I may have given it a slightly higher score myself. I think it has potential if they build on the foundation but I'm glad I only rented it (PS4). I may pick it up on PC during a Steam Sale though ;)

It isn't a priority though by any means which is a shame.

Damm, haven't seen many reviews this low but then again I'm not familiar with this site at all.

PoSTedUP4095d ago

havent played it. but sales dropped off -66% within a few days of release and it was reported to have fallen under #40 on steam. thats never a good sign for the first week of launch, especially for a cool looking FPS. that kinda speaks for itself. good games sometimes sell poorly and bad games sometimes sell great. but a game that gets picked and put down that quickly means lot of peole are going "yuck" and telling everyone. imo.

Ah, RealGamerNewz. The paragon of light in a dark and misguided gaming sphere. /s

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.

TheColbertinator298d ago

All I wanted was Left 4 Dead 3 instead

Abnor_Mal298d 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.

MeteorPanda298d ago

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

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

Evolve or Die: The final days of the follow-up to Left 4 Dead

Back in 2016, Turtle Rock announced that support for its 4v1 monster-hunting shooter Evolve would end but fans wouldn't let it die.

‘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

Germaximus1387d 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.

LordoftheCritics1387d ago

I used to play this a bit.

Was kinda fun.
