Evolve: 10 Big Things You Need To Know Before Buying
10. No Single Player Campaign
Evolve is a game designed to be a multiplayer experience. Like Left 4 Dead, it is an asymmetrical multiplayer game that requires cooperation, strategy, and teamwork. Sure, you can technically play offline in the solo mode, but this mode plays exactly the same; the only difference being that bots take control of the absent players. Playing like this only offers a more hollow and lonely version of the game compared to its multiplayer counterpart. Also, dont expect it to contain any real or relevant story. A barebones narrative is used to frame the gameplay, providing context to what you are doing, but it is not delved into in any meaningful way. The most you get is a cutscene at the beginning and some banter between characters before and during a hunt. Thats it. So if you're attracted to games that present you with interesting stories and characters, or are more drawn toward solo experiences, then look elsewhere. Evolve isnt interested in being that kind of game; its more about pure gameplay and friendly cooperation. While its certainly nice that solo mode is even offered, it is not enough to sustain the entire game on its own. If multiplayer isnt your thing, best not bother with Evolve.
