I've just played the big alpha of this game and here are my impressions. Xbox one players will get an exclusive beta that will be available in January. For those of you who has never heard of this game; This is a co-op game where 4 players as hunters has to find and kill one monster that is also controlled by one player. The big alpha limits the monsters to kraken and goliath and there are only 3 maps. The game runs on Cryengine from crytek if your pc could handle crysis 3 it can handle this game. If the players play their assigned roles as assualt, medic, support and trapper, they can bring the monster down. This game is at its peak when the player who plays the monster can hide and evolve into a bigger monster.

Here is the problem, the maps are usually too small for the monster to get away from the hunters and they can track him via his footprints or the sounds he makes. So it wont take long before you find him and get into the deathmatch. Even if the monster manages to runaway there is a time limit for the monster to destroy a power relay in one of the maps.

This game is made by the same team that brough us left 4 dead 1 and 2. So i see great potential into this game it just needs more content in term of game modes. I hope we can see reduced loading times and maybe being able to practice with bots at launch in February next year.

Anyway, i think its a great game and everyone should try it if they get their hands on the invite codes but Evolve is not the E3 game of the show i was expecting.
