Bought it last week along with four of my friends (PC, sorry no thread over there apparently)

This game is a blast with 4 or 5 people who know each other and can be in the same room or at least all mic-speaking together. We've put in about 40 hours in a week so It's definitely got staying power (the unlocks haven't really felt like a chore and it gives you a chance to experience every hunter).

So far I like Enforcer and Healer the best- I've unlocked the second support but haven't played the trapper at all. My other buddies have all unlocked various other hunters as well and were having fun trying out different combos because it really does lead to a variety of matchups and play styles.

Overall well worth the money at $45, with two IFs.

You really want to have a few friends or regulars that you know playing with you OR be willing to play rather boring single player bot matches. It's LFD/2 game scenerio- fun with friends, or if you happen to be lucky like me - semi-regular LAN Parties....

My friends and I have this on PS4 as of yesterday. 4 of us own it. 3 of us played together and found it extremely fun to play. Still working the learning curve though.

The controls are a bit of a PITA but we got used to it pretty quickly. Learning how to use each class effectively isn't that hard but we're still learning. I'm having fun with the trapper.

I think what some reviews said is probably true. This is a fun game with friends but with no friends, it might not be that fun. Hopefully we stick with this for a month or so.

We essentially bought it because Walmart and Target have it for $40 online. In-store you have to have them price match which is weird.

The load times are not bad but they seem long. Essentially, you have to give the monster a head start so the hunters get deployed on a delay.

Congrats to Evolve. It crashes on occasion. But this is the first game I have had that actually locked up my PS4 so badly that I had to pull the plug.

Started playing again yesterday. I have to admit. I love this game. There is a learning curve though. It is sad that people don't give it a chance.

There is a guy named BMW on Twitch that is awesome at this game. Go check him out. He plays almost every night starting at maybe 8 PM EST and goes for maybe 4 hours. Ask him to explain a match for newbies and he will.
