Turn back the clock to early 2015, and you'll find plenty of buzz around an upcoming game called Evolve. Developed by Turtle Rock Studio, the developers of the original Left 4 Dead, Evolve was being billed as The Next Big Thing in multiplayer games back before launch, and prelaunch coverage and impressions suggested that it would live up to that billing.

A unique idea, a cool setting, and a fascinating gameplay hook it seemed like it had everything going for it. And sure enough, for a short time after the game's launch, it was enjoying all the success that so many had predicted it would.
