  Great to see 2K bringing back a P2P server to allow players to play this absolute fkn gem once again.... however this will be a very short-lived revival unless they re-list this game on steam for new players to download and experience. NOTE: Just something for the devs to know, please upvote this review for what visibility remains. Keys on G2A, one of the only ways for new players to gain access to this game are going for upwards of USD$50 (from what i can find? comment otherwise) as they know there is a demand and appetite.. 2K, re-list this game, add some resources and re-activate your cosmetic market (as its now the norm).. get some revenue and support going for this gem!

  I liked the game, still do I hope going free to play will bring in more players. With anywhere from 50-200 players on daily, I feel going F2P was the only solution. As long as this brings in new players, I don't feel that my money has been wasted. I'll just think of it as buying a playable version of the game for all the friends I haven't met yet. You're welcome mystery friends.

  I've removed my previous review because it is no longer valid. I reviewed the game with Monster Edition purchased and shortly before the game was launched with beta then afterwards. I put about 50 hours into the Stage 1 game and then another 40 odd hours into Stage 2. To put it bluntly, TRS has done an amazing job of a F2P port. See below. The game costs nothign. Literally nothing as of 8/6/16. You can download the game and play for ABSOLUTELY free. There are no strings attached. You get to play the hunters and monster in rotation, but it's still FREE. Not one cent you have to pay for anything. This is a huge draw to the new player whom wants to get their feet wet in this glorious game. Yes, I said glorious because the game is such. It's something you don't see very often and other companies are now copying what TRS has developed with Evolve Stage 2. Previously, the games were very much slower. When I say slower, I mean upwards of around 15 to 30 minutes per match at least. Nobody wanted to play Trapper since they were tasked with placing a dome around the monster and if the Trapper died, then the dome would be brought down. It's very easy for the monster to focus down one specific hunter even at the cost of their armor and some of their health. Now? Any hunter can dome. This major change has brought games from a 15 to 30 minute duration to a 5 to 15 minute duration and that's being very forgiving. The games are now such a length where people (myself included) can have a vested interest in the game and keep playing round after round if time permits. Finding the monster used to be huge pain in the butt. I'm serious about that. It was possible for the monster to evade the hunters without ever being spoted until stage 3 when the monster is pummeling the power relay. It's easier now since the Trapper can use satellite beacon and get a general location of the monster. TRS has made the game possible for Hunters and Monsters to play rapidly if they choose to do so. A 30 minute investment game only to lose is EXTREMELY frustrating and you don't feel that when losing or even winning 5 to 10 minutes into the match. The game is faster, more challenging when fighting and I absolutely love it. If you're reading this and are on the fence about the game then give it a shot and decide for yourself. Seriously, the game is free. FREE, no strings attached. Even if you don't have all the hunters or monsters and are playing 100% free then you still have a decent fighting chance. The game is designed to give you that chance.

  An intense game of Cat and Mouse where after enough cheese, the mouse can eat the cat.

  "Hey we didn't make enough money with our atrocious $120 pre-orders and 2 season passes, now we remove all your progress and make the game free-to-play with microtransactions, how about that?" The worst marketing ever seen in game industry combined with tedious gameplay and empty servers ruined the promising concept completely. And after the few loyal to the game learned how to get some enjoyment out of it, developers "evolved" to stage 2. And by "evolved" I mean they completely destroyed the good that was in the original. I understand why developers changed distribution model and I'm not against it. But Stage 2 is not even half as good as the original game. And Evolve wasn't good enough to begin with (hence free-to-play). Also they've deleted all achievements. This is an outrage! How was that necessary? Removing the price tag was too simple for them? Or making a separate free-to-play product? We need to do something before this thing gets to stage 3.

  My dear Evolve, it's time we go our separate ways... I tried to make it work, you know I did. I dedicated a lot of time just for us. Time that maybe I should've dedicated to my wife. I mean... I don't have any. But... that's kinda my point. 600+ hours. What we had wasn't casual. My friends kept asking me how could I go on with this. What they couldn't understand is that, although it was always hard to make things work between us, when they worked, it was something very special. I'm not rich, but still I bought new dresses for your monsters, new make-up for your weapons, took everything to Elite status... Including Kala... Oh, yes... including Kala. But even after the holidays, after that magical winter time, when we met new people, even after that, your playerbase is still growing cold, your followers so few and far between, the lag is bringing me down, baby. Our monsters keep freezing, the hunters teleporting, and the wait... Oh, baby, the wait... Almost two hours just to get a single Hunt match as the monster? I can't take this anymore. I could keep dreaming of the day when people won't have to pay so much to be with us. But we both know that this will never happen. I held on for as long as I could, darling. But it's over. I hold no regrets. At least we tried. Deep down, I'll always love you. Ps: I wrote down a song for you. It goes like this: ♫ Feelin' that it's gone Can't change your mind If we can't go on To survive the tide Love divides ♫ ♫ Someday love will find you Break those (2K) chains that bind you One night will remind you How we touched And went our separate ways ♫ I think I'm gonna call it "Separate Ways" or "Worlds Apart". Haven't decided yet.

  Alright, what can I say about this game that hasn't been mentioned already? If you're like me, you ignored all of the negative reviews of this game because the core concept of the gameplay just seemed so irresistibly unique and interesting. If you're like me, and you're willing to ignore ALL OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS OF THIS GAME, just because the potential of the gameplay intrigues you, then let me talk to you a little bit about the gameplay that you may be oogling over right now. --Simply put: it's not as fun as it may look. It's not very strategic. Very quickly it becomes highly one-dimensional, formulaic, and repetitive. --There's only one "balanced" gameplay mode, and that's HUNT. There is essentially no single-player. --"Hunt," unless you take it to a competitive level--GETS OLD FAST. --Want to take your game to a competitive level, and you don't have three other friends IRL who also play the game? GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. --And, if by some miraculous chance you do manage to find three internet strangers that are also skilled, friendly, and willing to take the game to that competitive level with you, I must ask: HOW LONG IS THAT ONE GAME MODE GOING TO REMAIN FUN FOR YOU? I can tell you from personal experience that even if you do manage to get to that level, IT STILL GETS OLD FAST. In a nutshell, that's the breakdown of the GAMEPLAY of Evolve--which is probably the only reason you're eyeing this game right now, after all. Now I'll get into the specifics of the game a bit more: ______________________ GAMEPLAY: There's no "cat and mouse" strategic warfare going on here--90% of the time you are running as fast as you can toward the monster; and oh, that 10% of the time where you're actually "hunting" the monster? You're hunting a wraith, and it's tedious--it's not fun. When you're not running toward the monster, you are battling in a dome. Against a good monster, this will require incredible coordination and positioning between the hunters, which you, as a random solo-queue pubber, WILL NOT HAVE, AND GOOD LUCK FINDING OTHER SKILLED, FRIENDLY PEOPLE TO PLAY WITH. I'll talk about that a bit more later. DLC: Just disgusting, disgusting. I'm not even going to talk about this, it's been beaten to death by everyone already, and rightly so. It makes me sick. 2K should be embarrassed. And now that the game has been priced down to $13 or $15 from the $60 I paid at release? F U 2K. That is all I can say. It's a SLAP IN THE FACE TO THOSE WHO PAID THE $60 WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT. CONTENT: There's only one viable game mode. I've talked about this already. It gets old FAST. "BALANCE": This issue is notorious for Evolve. Personally, I think that the "top-down" method of balancing that TR has instituted is in fact appropriate; balancing is addressed from the perspective of highly skilled players, and that is how it should be. The last time TR adjusted balancing based on the perspective of random, solo-queue, no-talent pubbers, we were seeing such atrocious trash as 45 second dome cooldowns, absurdly OP hunter compositions, and a meta-game that WILDLY favored the hunters in competitive play. The game is NOW closer to being balanced at higher levels of play, but due to the basic core concepts of the game--which are just not interesting or strategic enough, imo--Evolve will never be truly balanced. MATCH-MAKING: Just awful. To me this has been the reason why I've finally had to turn away from this game, as much as I wanted to like it. Hunt 2.0 came far too late, and we need more statistics that determine a player's skill level than just a pathetic W/L rate. I've told you in the section above that it's imperative to find friendly, communicative, skilled players to queue with. That is hard, and it takes a lot of time. It took me months to build a friends list of decent players and by that time most of those players were leaving Evolve anyway. Personally, I have high standards when it comes to finding players that I enjoy gaming with--maybe it will be easier for you, I'm not sure. But I can't tell you how many players I've queued with that just relentlessly complain about the "balance" of the game, rather than taking a long cold look in the mirror and admitting that they are unskilled. Stop blaming the balance of the game, accurately assess your own skill level, what you could improve upon, and then find better players to queue with. It's that simple. Evolve has been such a colossal waste of potential. Ignore this game at any price--it's more frustration than it's worth. If you buy this game you are letting 2K essentially get away with fraud. TL;DR: REPETITIVE GAMEPLAY AND LACK OF CONTENT MAKE FOR AN EXPERIENCE THAT IS HARDLY WORTH $10, LET ALONE THE $60 THAT I PAID FOR IT.
