Video Game Review: WWE 2k22

While it may take a little while to embrace the new controls, the strides made in terms of presentation should be immediately welcomed. Wrestlers look more lifelike, crowds react better, the lighting is excellent, entrances are rendered splendidly, and it just feels more like you’re watching the televised product. Granted, there are some occasionally wonky looking faces, and hair still isn’t as good as it feels like it should be by this point, but it’s still a significant step up.

Video Game Review: WWE 2k19

One of the big items with WWE 2k19 is the return of the 2k Showcase after a two-year absence. You’ll follow the path of Daniel Bryan from his humble beginnings through his ascension to the WWE title and recent return to the ring. Each of the 11 matches is set up with a video package and remarks from Bryan, which is cool and provides some historical context to his journey.

Video Game Review: WWE 2k18

WWE 2k18 takes the series’ presentation up a notch, offering up the smoothest and most realistic looking wrestlers and animations we’ve ever seen in a wrestling game. Superstar entrances have been painstakingly recreated for authenticity and watching the hundreds of motion-captured moves executed is great — especially seeing all those banned moves get another day in the sun.

Video Game Review: WWE 2k17

Unfortunately, the biggest change between last year’s version and this one is the loss of 2k Showcase, which had allowed you to play through some of WWE’s biggest moments and hottest feuds in previous years. For long-time fans it was a nice blast of nostalgia accompanied by impeccable video packages that highlighted the lead up to matches and situations. It’s greatly missed.

Video Game Review: WWE 2k16

If, like us, this is when you started following the company it makes for a mostly enjoyable nostalgic trip as Austin battles his greatest rivals — Bret “Hitman” Hart, The Rock, Undertaker and, of course, Mr. McMahon — across almost 30 matches. Excellent montage videos chronicle the history behind the feuds, and there are even a few cool bonus bouts, including his ECW battle with Mikey Whipwreck and a Clash of the Champions showdown with Brian Pillman.
