I decided to change my recommendation, since 2k announced SECOND hunter season pass with 4 more hunters for freaking 25$, so it looks like they planned to make 3 more SEASON passes (or maybe more, possibilities are endless), which made Evolve unique the one and only game with more than 1 season pass, congratulations! This is a new low. Technically its misleading information, cause customers got used to season pass as way to grab all DLC's, which could be released in the future for the less price. This is unspeakable abuse of the system and gamers and it should NOT be tolerated. So this game cost already 110$ and would be cost 75$ more. Cmon, 2K, stop ruining Turtle rock's reputation (they made decent game once again, and you literally cut it in pieces) and your player base.... 5 loyal players. And btw they raised prices twice as much in my region for their old games, like 5 years old games. So my recommendation don't trust your money to 2k at all. I guess they looking for fame of activision and 90's EA.


Old review:

Evolve got too much hate around it, mostly cause of ridiculous DLC model. But how does it really make game any worse? Anyhow, I decide to make Pros/Cons list, to answer vital question "Is it worth it?". Here we go:

Cons:
-Worst DLC model I've ever see. Really. Skin packs, 2 (!!!) season passes, deluxe edit., etc. And the price is enormous.
-Skins are really pathetic; they are literally using just another color texture. Really lame comparing with TF, Dota, Lol or anything.
-Most of the player feels lack of the content. Well, I feel like TRS could bring us 5 monsters and 5 of each type of hunters from the beginning. It would be fair for 60 dollar tag.
-small but annoying bugs with cursor
-minor crashes and disconnects
-Game base are dropping down pretty fast and it's hard to say how bad it would be. Frequent updates with new FREE characters would save it for sure.
- and THE BIGGEST ISSUE (is it a real issue, tho?), game is far from being casual, it very exacting to player's skill. One lame random player would easily ruin whole match for your team. If he is a trapper, you got a chance never see the monster until it would come to your power plant. If he is a healer, you team probably would lose first teamfight, etc. It could cause frustration in first case or rage in second? or most likely both. Teamplay is critical here. One hunter could not win whole war, but could win a small battle and make something right to save whole crew. If everybody doing right (including monster) here Evolve shines. So its “boring and repetitive” if you or your teammates don’t really know what you should do. Most complains come from the people who don’t understand the game and not willing to learn it.

Pros... and conclusion.
Well, it's quiet a list, so do you think those things are more important than actual gameplay? Cause gameplay is brilliant, and pretty well balanced for asymmetrical game. Before you start to argue about wraith, I want to say that Evolve reminds me about MOBAs a lot (jungle, 4 abilities + ult, monster's farming, different roles and importance of teamplay, etc), so as it would have more and more characters to play, every new one would be accusing of being op, just because it’s new. Anyway game would need frequent updates and game balance. Let’s face it; it’s hard to balance even non asymmetrical MOBA games. And by the way would you call MOBA games repetetive? Cause their have 1-2 maps to play and victory conditions are the same from game to game. Their find variability in big numberf of playable champions and the fact that different people got different playing style and most importantly skill. So why do I recommend it? Well if you have decent team (even random) you would have a great joy out of it. Battles are totally epic and beautiful, hunt process is keeping you in your toes (your heart is rushing when trapper following you hard on first level), every member of the team is matters and could save all others in some situations, so gameplay is thrilling. If you are ready to learn the game (if you have a full team it would be even greater) you would enjoy it. But I would recommend waiting for updates with new characters, just to be sure about developer’s intentions and plans. It won't hurt to wait sale either, cause it's kinda costly. Evolve got its issues, its not that great as developers told you, but its definitely not as bad as community trying to make it looks and for sure Evolve is unique.
