Honest Game Trailers Season 2 Episode 32 EVOLVE (Honest Game Trailers)
- February 10, 2015
After an extended break, Honest Game Trailers is back with season 2 episode 32, taking on the multiplayer shooter EVOLVE!
The episode dives into the core gameplay, explaining how players can choose to be part of a four-person team of hunters tracking down a massive monster, or take on the role of the beast itself and try to evolve to resist the hunters' attacks. The game's dynamic and shifting gameplay makes no two matches the same, with each team requiring different strategies to come out on top.
The trailer doesn't shy away from calling out some of the game's shortcomings, however. It points out that the initial launch of the game was plagued with connectivity issues, and that while the different classes of hunters gave each player a unique role to fill, there wasn't always enough variety to shake things up.
One of the highlights of the episode is the trailer's exploration of the game's monster design, with the host breaking down each of the game's unique beasts and their abilities. While some were more popular than others, the show generally praises the game's efforts in making each monster feel distinct.
Throughout the episode, Honest Game Trailers strikes an excellent balance between highlighting the game's strengths and weaknesses, and entertainingly tearing into some of the more frustrating aspects of the game. Whether you're a long-time player looking for a nostalgia trip or a newcomer interested in checking out the game for the first time, this episode will give you a good understanding of what to expect.
