Evolve, due to arrive for\u00a0PC, PS4, and Xbox One on 10 February 2015, has been played and reviewed by the international gaming press.<\/p>\n
Before we get into what they had to say about the game, Turtle Rock Studios has announced that Evolve will require a 3GB day-one patch which will introduce\u00a0new skins, game loading optimizations, and more.<\/p>\n
For those of you unfamiliar with the title, Evolve is a 4v1 multiplayer which sees a quartet of hunters trying to take down a rather large player-controlled monster.<\/p>\n
Playing from the FPS perspective, you and your team must coordinate your efforts to take the beast down, or you can go it alone and play as the monster.<\/p>\n
The questions is: should you buy the game<\/a>?<\/p>\n As the game has a large online multiplayer component, many publications decided against scoring Evolve until the game has gone live.<\/p>\n Others scored it anyway.<\/p>\n As with Turtle Rock\u2019s Left 4 Dead, Evolve is best when you play with buddies; getting matched with a novice can lead to ghastly results if your newfound friend constantly seeks out the nonexistent \u201cI\u201d in \u201cteam.\u201d<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t take long to whip a newcomer into shape, at least, meaning you can usually focus on Evolve\u2019s unique brand of greatness: the suspense of the hunt, the exhilaration of battle, and the drive to dominate Shear. Even Sasquatch would shiver at the dangers.<\/p>\n Evolve occasionally brushes against a real breakthrough for Turtle Rock, with its distinctive take on a different kind of multiplayer shooter. New territory always presents new problems, and Evolve doesn’t always solve them.<\/p>\n But it distinguishes itself from the pack of multiplayer options out there with the flair of something truly different.<\/p>\nEarly reviews<\/h3>\n
