Evolve: 10 Big Things You Need To Know Before Buying

A game "built with DLC in mind". Hmm...

With the release of Evolve this week, much discussion has been had about the game and the relationship it has with the video game industry going forward. Despite being one of the most anticipated games of the year, Turtle Rock Studios€™s man vs. monster shooter has fast become one of the most polarizing and controversial major releases in recent memor,y due to its enthusiastic embracing of modern DLC-based game design. Many gamers see Evolve as a manifestation of everything wrong with the video game industry and a massive step in the wrong direction. The monstrous amounts of DLC and micro-transactions are a huge turnoff for a lot of people, which is a shame because the actual game is quite good. It€™s well designed, oozes character, and when it€™s firing on all cylinders it delivers a very unique multiplayer experience. For some this is enough reason to at least give Evolve a chance. Both sides have made valid points, but ultimately it is up to you, the consumer, to make an informed decision for yourself. Perhaps you are on the fence; trying to decide whether Evolve is a game worth playing or skipping altogether, and if so, then the following is for you. This is everything you need to know about Evolve before buying.
