Every time I write about 2K’s asymmetrical multiplayer take on Monster Hunter, I get a little bit sad. I really wanted to like Evolve, but despite a concerted effort on my part, I’ve been unable to muster enough interest in its awesome concept to actually play it. I still want to want to play it, and that’s the problem. If only there was something I could focus on as a reason to stay away…
Enter the fifth monster to come to Evolve — the Gorgon.
I can sum up my feelings on this eight-legged freak with just one word: nope.
I respect the decision to use the grind house aesthetic for a trailer that’s about hunting down a two-story god-spider, but the only arachnids I’ll be seeing on my copy of Evolve will be the ones I murder with the game disc. The Gorgon DLC will be unlocked automatically on Nov 3 for season pass owners of the season pass. The rest of you can drop $9.99 for it.
Meanwhile, I’ll be sitting here dousing anything that moves with Raid while I chuck gas bombs into any and all crevices that look capable of hiding the enemy.
