I have saved my "Not Recommended" pre-FTP review at the bottom for historical purposes.

Evolve had a rocky start, a lot of poor marketing decisions were made, and the game basically died. Among these decisions was high price, low content, with the larger portion of content in paid day one dlcs. The decision to go free to play has brought it back to life for now, and in my opinion was entirely necessary.

Pros

+Fun, assymetrical, team vs. giant monster combat!
+Varied classes and characters.
+Devs are currently concentrating on balance and fun, over how much DLC they can make you buy.

Cons

-I will forever be wary of 2K, and any game they will ever publish.
-One game mode that requires people to play with to have fun.
-Grouping with your friends still makes them the monster you have to kill.
-Player base is still low and shrinking every day.

Pre-FTP review.

Co-op monster hunting, or fleeing for your monster life only to return strong enough to kill the hunters both feel amazing and fun. The $60 price tag unfortunately means I will not buy it until it goes on a huge sale. The game seems to have too much day 1 dlc with free to play type extras for a game you pay $60 at release. Waiting for all of the prices to go down. Some of the best games I have played have been $7, so money is best spent elsewhere for now.

Civ 5 is a highly polished but tedious, boring game, that if you play with friends it cannot be co-op, not really. Now you take that same game, and give it a new research web, alien mosters, more interesting quests, and a cool but hard to manage sattelite layer. Sounds fun and new right? Nothing I actually care about has been improved. Co-op research is still combined, allies still beat eachother in the end (no co-op victory unless you are the same team in the beginning), the ui is not clear and has even ♥♥♥♥♥♥ worse. This game is poorly optimized, and thinks my drivers are not up to date, and doesn't work on some new high end machines. The quests are the same each time with little variability. I will go back to waiting for the next update to Age of Wonders 3.

7 days is interesting
its a lot of work really lol
cut down trees dig for sand, plant blueberries, sharpen sticks
and then you eat a pile of pies each day or you die
that are made of glass shards you ate all of the sandy jars
and you need to go dig more to make sand blueberry pies
but the zombies can dig through anything so you are always thinking about how to stop them
and then you can play online and have people that want to kill you with guns
and take all your pies

Pros:
+Fun if you like a good varied word puzzle experience
+Interesting rpg abilities and classes
+Nice music
+Environments and characters that have a cool pixel style
+Only some chests and resurection analgrams require stellar vocabulary
+Challenging on the harder difficulty
+Developer responds to threads and even adds missing words or explains game mechanics

Cons:
-It has to be played in a small window
-it is not always clear how you are doing (health bars are small and not visible between fights unless you mouse over)
-Tooltips are pretty good, but don't explain some concepts or stats

Redemption:
+The dev is still adding words balance changes and content, and is very good at being active on the forums.
So the cons add up to nothing really for me, and are likely to all be resolved in the future anyway.

$3 seriously, if you like words and rpgs there is no reason not to buy.

Looking at Abyss Odysey coming from ACE you may worry that this is going to be too wierd like zeno clash. In actuality it is filled with Chilean mythical creatures and characters. It is a combination of 2D platforming and fighting games. The fighting elements borrow from directional attacks, dodging, and blocking/parrying from super smash bro's, but slow the action to a set animation method like in dark souls, for a more tactical fighing system. There is a system of limited cancels while fighting to inturupt your attacks with dodges or new attacks. In reality, the AI is not perfect, and will do some dumb things, sometimes react faster than most people can, or just stand there and let you kill them, but it is my opinion that the AI is good. Music and art elements are excellent, with beautiful backgrounds. The inventory system is limited with 3 item types and a weapon, that you can get more damage on and gain elemental attacks. On death you are replaced by a soldier that tries to ressurect you. If you die as the soldier you lose all items, weapons, and progress, but retain all money, levels and shortcuts. The game is randomly generated each time, but does not feel much different. The death restart makes it matter if you like roguelikes or not. Loot can feel like it helps but starting again is not a huge drop in power. There is added multiplayer, difficulty, and vs modes the add much needed replayability, and the developers have a promise that they will add more content based on how many people beat the game, with a mask that breaks as more people win to illustrate.
Overall it is my opinion that this is a game only some people will enjoy. Watch some videos before buying, and make sure you are the kind of gamer that would like this.

Old review that was positive

Positives: Great co-op fun that can be challenging or easy depending on what heist you do. Gun ands mask customization along with skill perks add to the fun of making yourself specialized and individual. Heists are variable and a little different each time. The game requires communication, a true team game. the gun systems and interaction in the game makes you feel like a real career criminal. The game is like left for dead but the zombies are cops, and you usually arent traveling far.

Negatives: Crime.net makes you wait to play what you want to, or pay hard earned "cash" to pick what you want now. You cannot play solo and have fun, since bots cannot carry bags and are really dumb. They did not release nearly as many heists for the original game as they promised, and release it in small relatively pricey dlc chunks instead. Multimillionaire bank robbers buy drills that are made in china. Levelling gets super slow (must do every heist thousands of times) at higher levels to reach max level (I am halfway in level, which means probably <10% there at 72 hours plus of play).

Overall its a great game, and hopefully Payday 3 will not have any of the things in the negative column anymore, because seriously bots should carry bags, i should choose my heists, and they should underpromise and overdeliver content (Like any business), whatever it takes. Drills also could keep going until cops stop them, its not really fun to interact with an automatic drill for several minutes each game. Dlc is great fun, but sometimes takes a while to balance the fact that some heists are super hard or take way longer, but do not give higher rewards to the extent they should. I only complain because this is a great game that is so close to being the best game. Recommended to anyone that likes co-op shooters with a heavy focus on objectives, teamwork, and some stealth.


New review

Tons of DLC as a way to make money and keep your game alive, I can tolerate and buy the ones I like, but microtransactions on loot and feedback deletions are unnaceptable. Way to take a game that made it way longer than we all expected and rapid fire those nails in its coffin with a nail gun.

The original X-Com UFO Defence was amazing! X-Com Enemy Unknown + Enemy Within sacrifices a little bit of tactical, base, and research options, but gains graphics, Immersion, classes, mission types, and overall is an amazing game! Pick it up if you like turn based strategic combat at all.

Great fun and challenging. The punishing nature of this game doesn't stop me from trying until I succeed. Its a great game with amazing elements of rpg, action, and monster hunting. With some great mod tools it isn't too terrible even as a a bad port it is way better than having to use an xbox.
EDIT. With the glorious and celebrated death of games for windows live, steam has swept in and improved Dark souls. Port issues are now very small with problems like the framerate being stuck low or else physics goes wonky being the worst of it. Thank you Steam!
