Evolve review | EGM

EGM:

Silly though it may be to parade around pre-release awards as some kind of indicative acclaim, all those laurel wreaths on the back of Evolve‘s box and in its trailers are there for a reason. Rather than upholding the multiplayer status quo, Turtle Rock Studios’ first big game in nearly seven years sought to bring a fresh perspective to shooters, with an asymmetrical showdown between four hunters and a lone monster on a remote and dangerous sci-fi world. The concept was immediately appealing—that’s where those awards come in—but the main concern was whether or not Evolve could deliver a complete and engaging game around it.

In an effort to give all five reviewers a chance to fully discuss their opinions, we’ve put together a special Review Crew podcast that touches on every aspect of Evolve at length. Beneath that, you’ll find each editor’s detailed conclusions on their own class and how the experience impacted their opinion of the game as a whole.
