Developed by the creators the Left 4 Dead series, Evolve has taken the four-player Co-op formula Turtle Rock is known for and turning it into a futuristic game of deadly hide-and-seek, where the hunters need to track down and defeat the single player/AI-controlled Monster or risk becoming the prey themselves. WIth 12 Hunters and 3 Monsters by default, Evolve gives you a good range of characters to choose from, each offering thier own approach to the game allowing players of any style to find thier niche, whether it be attacking the Monster directly, keeping the team alive with sheilds and healing or debuffing the Monster. With the newly added Monster and 4 new hunters, the variety continues to grow. While the progression system may be annoying if all you want is to play as a third tier character, it gives you a feeling of accomplishment when your weapons get stronger as your become more proficient with your selected character. And yes, you can earn skins this way.

If you like Left 4 Dead, you will like this game. Playing alone is always an option, but playing with friends to help you get through the Monster-infested planet of Shear is always a plus.
