Evolve

[Paragon Fury]

So I finally picked up Evolve yesterday, since it was only $30 and the Season Pass brought it to $60, which I felt was pretty fair for all of it. I haven't gotten a chance to play yet (had to go to work, only to come back because I wasn't feeling too good), but is it still any good? Or has it's time past?

And I did get to play a few matches Solo vs. Bots, but I didn't do too well as the Goliath.

It helps if you have a team to practice with. The bots can actually be really rough on a beginner, and random teams seem to be problematic.

There seems to be a tendency to power creep with the DLC Hunters. It's not instant-win, but a lot of their stuff is blatantly better (or able to multi-role) then the original crew.

I've noticed one thing that Evolve did that is kind of funny, since Left 4 Dead 1 made the same mistake;

The Goliath and the Kraken seem to have no way to forcibly separate the Hunters/punish them for grouping, so the Hunters just stick together, unable to be separated from each other and dismantling the Monster even at Level 3 because their combined abilities are so strong.

Which makes me see why the Wraith is so popular - its the only Monster who can forcibly separate the Hunters from each other and pick them off individually.
