It’s almost impossible for a WWE game to become worse than WWE2K20, so the expectations for this one was not that high. 2K delivered with a solid comeback and the birth of a new GM mode. This mode has personally been my favorite since it allows me to live out booking shows. MyRise is good experience for the story telling. You can spend a good chunk of time there. The showcase for Rey Mysterio is so well done, you definitely need to finish it to truly appreciate his career from a story telling perspective. The overallPresentation of the game is great. It still has dedicated content craters for your create a wrestler and support from 2K. If this game is on sale and you love wrestling, GET SOME!

It's much improved over previous iterations. It controls well and has some fun match types.Negatives:1.) Massive loading times2.) Bewildering Create a Wrestler limitations such as not being able to wear most robes and hats during matches whereas in previous games you could wear anything during matches.3.) Numerous glitches

WWE 2K is back after taking a year off, and this game is being hyped as finally being improved. I would say don't fall for the hype. It is still the same buggy game with an outdated roster. Half of the wrestlers here are either fired by WWF or working for different companies now. There are a lot of mid card, NXT, and 205 Live cruiserweights. Show this game to any casual wrestling fan and you'll immediately get the "who are half of these people?" comment. New controls are unnecessarily complicated. R2+X is finisher. R2+Square is signature. If you want to do a springboard dive, hold L1 before you press attack. You can move your opponent around in certain ways with L1 plus directions, or pick them up and carry them in certain ways with R1 plus directions.

You can reverse with Triangle, or sometimes reverse a move if you press Square or X at the right time. There's a bar on the UI for signature moves, a separate one for finishers, a separate one for your health. Moves still have weak looking impacts. Worst of all there are still the goofy glitches and bugs that everyone makes jokes about. Ironically if this had been their usual yearly release my attitude would probably be "yeah, another WWE game", but they created this hype by taking the year off and saying they would do better. I bought the game because I wanted to show support that they were willing to do that. But it's still not fixed. This series deserves a total redo or for the license to be passed to a new game developer.

So far I enjoy this game. There are a few different game modes that keep things interesting. Graphics are nice on the PS5 version. I still feel like something has been missing from wrestling games for a long time though. This game is definitely the best WWE game in years, that being said, I’d wait for a sale. Not a $70 game IMO
This is the first 2k wrestling game I’ve played in quite a few years, so keep that in mind. I personally loved all of the added features of the game, the depth of GM, myRise, Universe, creation modes, however there is one huge flaw with the game and it’s the most important part, the gamplay. I don’t like pressing X to perform a cinematic maneuver that I don’t control. I don’t like how the button pressing has been cut down so much. It’s almost like playing Heavy Rain, but wrestling. It feels like you don’t have much control over the game and everything triggers combos. Also it seems like a majority of the time wrestlers get to their feet at the same time which can lead to them getting an offensive advantage based on your next action. I’m not sure if this is new or ... MoreThis is the first 2k wrestling game I’ve played in quite a few years, so keep that in mind.

I’m not sure if this is new or has been the direction for some time now, but I’m not really a fan of it. If the gameplay was like the Smackdown series into early 2k games then maybe I would enjoy it more. There are plenty of of other issues like the signatures and finishers, but I won’t go in depth about all of that.If you are looking for a game with more button pressing to perform actions rather than a game where a single button press or two performs a combo of them then this game probably isn’t for you. I play the GM mode exclusively due to the gameplay if that says anything.
It is a good game, but man does it have an issue with saving. MyRise is what I mostly try to play. My suggestion if anyone wants to play this part of the game is try the most to save the game in the menu settings as it does not auto-save when you make changes to your wrestler. I have many WWE games from previous gaming system generations, and have never had this issue. Yet, if you can overlap this issue (it could only be an issue i have) then this game is fantastic.
It's very arcade like, i prefer the simulation from previous games but its not a dealbreaker. The updated models, attires, entrances are great. Kinda grimey how they took advanced entrances out without telling us. There are lots of missing characters, like how can you have Road Dogg in the game but no Billy Gunn? APA Farooq but no Bradshaw? No DX?? Come on 2k. Characters that were in previous base games now have to be paid for like Rhonda Rousey for example and others are locked behind the MyRise mode such as JBL. In my opinion 2k19 is still the superior game despite being outdated. 2k22 is a step in the right direction but it leaves more to be desired.
I have been a fan for over 40 years. In addition, my 3 and 5 year olds are obsessed with everything that involves wrestling. Well, I just say, this game is a huge step up from the previous versions. Having a different company make this game was so necessary. The controls are MUCH easier and the game graphics are absolutely stunning. By far, the best WWE game I’ve ever played.
Super fun gameplay. Crashes once in a while in community creation download. Minor detection issues. New combo system and reversals make the game so addictive. Recommend to anyone that has played previous versions. Definitely improves in most important areas. Crashes and limited creativity in creations are the only downside.
Well after almost 2 years of being stuck with WWE 2K20 Deluxe edition I am back to give another review. My review from 2K20 is still there and I can’t believe how right I was with that horrible game.Let me start by saying…WWE 2K22 is HERE!!!!! I got the deluxe edition and so far I am saying ITS WORTH EVERY DIME! I mentioned in my 2K20 review that I am an 80s baby and I die hard fan of both WWE Live tv shows and the video games. I’m a stickler for looking to the game toMimic the live product!IMPROVEMENTS:-Superstars look 20x better than 2K20-Universe Mode is done right and completely revamped no glitches (MY FAVORITE MODE)-GM mode compliments Universe Mode nicely-Titles have been touched up nicely and the Universal Title looks better than it does on live ... MoreWell after almost 2 years of being stuck with WWE 2K20 Deluxe edition I am back to give another review.
