I haven't been playing Evolve at all. But I have been watching it quite a bit. From all those hours of watching, I've decided that it's a beautiful game. Sure, it looks gorgeous, but I just love thinking about all the work the devs put into it. It's (pretty) balanced and neither hunters nor monster are easy kills.
I can see that it is frustrating. Many games I've played have an easy way out. An alien takes two or three shots to kill. If I hit a guy in the head once he's down and out. If I get caught off-guard in Destiny, I handily melee my way away.
In Evolve, your type really matters and you can do a few prescribed jobs. So you have to work with your team. If you try to go off alone, you will die. I find that beautiful, in a game design way. If you're the monster, one pounce doesn't kill even one hunter. Plus, the team can possibly revive them. Maybe I'm completely wrong and I know some people do find the game boring, but, watching it, it seems very well designed.
Still, I'm scared to play.
