Don't waste your time or money.
I wanted to like it... but it's a terrible waste of time and money. This should be a free to play game, but they somehow still charged full price for it. It feels incomplete; can you say lack-of-content? The full game feels like a demo or a beta... there is not even a campaign mode. Graphics are ok, some of the special moves are slightly cool but gameplay is very boring. No back story, no point to doing anything really. They advertised "800,000 combinations", but there's not... it's basically the same thing no matter what. In my opinion, it's obvious that game developers have their hands in the wallets/pockets of professional game reviewers when they give games like Evolve a review score of 9 out of 10!
This game is also the perfect example of how greedy developers have become. I don't mind DLC, I know at the end of the day it's about money... but this game takes it to the next level of greed and shamelessness with the paid DLC. It's like $7.00 just to change the color of a monster! They call it a 'skin' of course, but it's more like a color swap. We had a huge gaming party to give 'Evolve' another chance and seriously only 1 person liked this game, but not enough to buy it. People kept asking, is this all there is too it? However when everybody saw the already available day 1 paid DLC, it literally made people sick to their stomachs.
Turtle Rocks 'Evolve' creative director Robb Phil stated "When Evolve hits the shelves; none of the DLC will be done". "However, Evolve launched with 44 DLC packs not included in the season pass... Each of these packs totaled over $130!"
Final thoughts: this is utterly despicable, share/send this to every gamer you know. Don't support or tolerate this madness, but DLC aside, the game is no good anyway.
