Packed with content, WWE 2K22 looks to squeeze in a ton of modes that will keep gamers busy for hours on end. The GOAT, the legend, the icon is finally getting a dedicated mode and I for one cannot wait to play through his glorious career, especially the incredible feud with my all-time favourite wrestler, Eddie Guerrero.īrie Mode – Sorry, I couldn’t think of anything else

The Showcase mode is back and in the words of Chris Kanyon, “Who Bedda” than Rey Rey for the career-based mode? Wrestling in ECW, WCW, AAA and many others, Rey has had one the most impressive careers in the industry and is still blazing a trail today. Whilst I like the new angle and immersive presentation, I’m interested in if the game will rely on cutscene heavy maneuvers or will allow for dynamic gameplay where moves can be interrupted at various points. In the ring, this is accentuated with its intimate camera angle that allows fans to further identify minor details that make the game feel like a genuine representation of Vince’s company. The sparks surrounding Goldberg’s bulbous head, the detail on Jeff Hardy’s early 2000s Nu-Metal attire, feel authentic and help to set an atmosphere that is in line which its television counterpart. Plain and simple, the graphics in 2K22 are amazing. With WWE being a family-friendly product, this is massively important for its user base, however, will there still be the opportunity for higher-skilled players to express themselves? We will have to wait and see.

From the trailer, it looks as if the game has added new features such as the ability to duck and weave out of the way of attacks. The way the characters moved and interacted with one another looked realistic, distancing itself from previous releases. From the latest trailer of 2K22, it’s clear to see that the game has been built from the ground up to create a new wrestling experience. Bugs regularly surfaced in matches making it clear the game was in desperate need of a revamp.

Okay, we know 2K20 was awful but a lot of the 2K wrestling games have been and why is that? Well, Yuke’s have used the same engine for years and this was evident in the gameplay. Determined to correct the issues of the past, Visual Concepts have rebuilt the game and so far, WWE 2K22 looks awesome! With a 40-odd% rating on Metacritic, the game was a mess and damaged the reputation of the company. WWE 2K20 was one of the biggest fails in video games.
