Pros
Pro Intense stealth gameplay
In SpyParty one player plays as a spy that needs to blend into a party full of NPCs, while trying to steal valuable documents. The other player plays as a sniper who has to figure out which person is the spy, and take their shot.
Pro Online two player
The gameplay is cat and mouse where one player is a sniper and the other is a secret agent. To pull this off the game is basically online vs two player.
Pro Varied gameplay options created by different classes and variations on classess
Each of the different classes will be able to level up and fine tune their weapon loadouts, allowing for a wide array of options.
Pro 4v1 FPS gameplay
Evolve's gameplay is based around a simple asymmetric dynamic of four vs one.
Cons
Con Slow development
SPyParty is still in an open beta, something that it seems to have been stuck in for a while.
Con Dedicated servers have been shut down
The game is no longer supported. You can still play peer-to-peer though.
Con Pre-order unlocks
Evolve will allow anyone who pre-orders the game to have all monsters unlocked from the start. Something that will not be true for normal post release paying customers. What this means is that the grind that is necessary to unlock the monsters is pretty much superfluous and only there to incentivize pre-order money (getting money before anyone finds out if the game is good or not) as well as falsely lengthen the game with monotonous tasks allowing the creators to keep their player-base playing the until more DLC is released.
