Great Game. The graphics and sound are outstanding. There is such detail in the graphics it is so awesome. The battlefields are varied and terrifically sci-fi looking. This is what a sci-fi monster battling game should be! Guns are really neat. Each of the Hunters is unique with special guns and abilities. The monsters look awesome and are truly terrifying!I play solo mode, and the bots usually do a pretty decent job. The monster usually wipes my group but that is ok. Nice challenge! There are level ups and unlocks galore.There is a campaign called Evacuation. You have to battle 5 monsters in a row. Results from the earlier battles carry over. Also, each Hunter has a set of level ups so each match earns experience points in their key areas, even if you lose you get points.This game is frantic and fast paced. I am not the best shooter player but I find this game fun. I love games with great replay ability and Evolve definitely qualifies! Anyone who loves a good sci-fi shooter should try this game.I am not very good with the monster yet. I have only played the one tutorial. Can't lose the tutorials I think. Each monster has their own abilities and movements. They are totally fun to fight against!I bough the 4th monster DLC. I actually beat him! I think I may have beaten the monster twice and won another match which was Defend for a total of three victories and at least 20 defeats. I really like this game. The skin DLC is not very useful since you can only put the skins on your character. For the Hunters, it changes your weapon skin in your hand, kind of useful since the default skins are ugly. And, you can't put skins on the Monsters to fight against, only if you are controlling them.I played the game before the huge 8gb patch downloaded. Do Not Do That! The patch installed but I was only able to play the tutorials and had to reinstall the whole thing. The first time the patch downloaded took 1.5 hours, and the second time was only 30 minutes.Oh, there is DLC for adding a 4th Hunter of each type. Make certain you watch their tutorial videos before getting that DLC. I may get it in the future but right now those Hunters look complicated to use to me.Again, I play solo, and yes, it is hunt the Monster again and again. However, there is always action in the game. The planet has other HOSTILE life on it and there is never a dull moment. Some of these other Beasts can one shot you so be careful as you chase the Monster. Great fun!I kind of thought the Monsters could be a little larger when they get to phase 3. I guess it is ok, they are terrifying enough. Any larger and they would be easier targets. I do not aim well so I like fighting Monsters that do not fly around so much, but they move FAST! oh, and they hit HARD!I cannot understand why this game has such poor ratings. What do players want, anyway? This game is 100% action, no down time. Fast paced and downright scary at times.NONE of the DLC is mandatory. There are a total of 12 Hunters, 8 to unlock. The DLC adds 4 more. There are a total of three Monsters, 2 to unlock if you want to play as them, but you can fight against any of them before unlocking as a playable monster. The Fourth Monster is DLC and is highly recommended! None of the DLC is mandatory to be honest.Evolve is a great game, with a lot of cool features and lots of fun. It looks and plays great!EDIT: I have won more matches but the win-loss is about 1 in 5. Awesome! I >finally< beat every monster! Oh, and the season pass is fine. Slim the Trapper can slow the monster down nicely. The other Hunters are ok, as well. Did I mention I won Evacuation? Wow! Evolve is fun.EDIT 2: I am winning more often now. I have unlocked all of the Hunters in Solo mode. Played the Monster finally. I am not very good at it! Hunter bots keel me easily. Takes some getting used to. The Medic and the Support are the easiest to play in solo mode. After leveling up a bit, better perks become available. I am now level 20+! I still do not play online since I am not a multiplayer player. I REALLY like this game! Graphics and sound are VERY nice. Great sci-fi action game.Final Edit: Unlocked all of the Monsters as well. They are different to play compared to the Hunters. The Hunters are very fast paced, always moving regularly. The Monsters have special moves and recharging abilities so taking things much slower is in order. At first I thought the Monsters were hard to play, clunky even, but once I settled down and played slower things shaped up. Also, I have been winning more now.Evolve is a great game!
