E.V.O. - Search for Eden

E.V.O. is the charming tale of a creature evolving from a pathetic nobody to the savior of the Earth.  In this action game, players take control of a small fish and must do battle against other creatures, explore, and solve problems in order to evolve your way through to the ages of insects, dinosaurs, and mammals.  Along the way, the player gets to select just how its creature will evolve, from its body type to its wings to the kind of horns it has.

Overall, this is a game most people should try if they're looking for an adventure platformer.  It has variety, challenge, and a loose story driving it forward that doesn't get in the way of the action.  This user did, however, occasionally encounter control issues when trying to do multiple things quickly and precisely, but they were infrequent enough to shurg them off and enjoy this title.
