Dying Light (Be the Zombie)
Dying Light is the most recent game on this list, but its included multiplayer mode, Be the Zombie, gives a nice small taste of what you can encounter in Evolve. Be the Zombie places you in the shoes of a night hunter which is a special infected that can only be controlled by a human player. These badasses have the ability to sniff out human players and methodically pick them off one by one. Sound familiar? Well it should since that is largely what you’ll be doing if you play as one of the monsters in Evolve.
As a monster you have many weaknesses that can be exploited by hunters, much like how the night hunter in Dying Light must be careful to avoid certain threats. This forces you to rely on bulking up, and avoiding lines of sight in order to figure out the best way to take the enemy team apart. As you hunt and kill you will have the ability to increase the potency of your abilities and your chances at victory. Being alone in your fight provides a unique challenge that necessitates wits rather than brute force.
Using the terrain to your advantage as you plan your next move is what Be the Zombie mode and playing as a monster in Evolve are all about. If that tickles your fancy it’s time to hunker down and get ready to hunt the hunters.
