WWE2K22 is quite possibly the most complete wrestling game we have seen in many years. Surprisingly I piled in over 30 hours over the course of three or four days and I still want to go and experience everything I haven’t seen. With a roster of over 160 wrestlers and 29 on the way as DLC, you’ll never run out of options on who to choose.

I’m a wrestling nerd and I’m not afraid to say it. So, when the chance came along to review WWE 2K22, I grabbed that brass ring with both hands.

WWE 2K22 takes the recommendation for 7 points out of 10. The series has taken a new breath, but there are still some shortcomings and mistakes remain. Other parts will hopefully be a little better.

WWE 2K22 is a fantastic return to form for the series, and probably the best wrestling game I’ve played in several years. Admittedly there are some rough edges here and there, but the MyRise mode in particular was incredibly enjoyable and most importantly: the game was just fun to hit. WWE 2K22 does in fact hit different.

Overall, WWE 2K22 still doesn't seem to have met our expectations.

Efforts were made to keep 2020 as a road accident, and this time they came up with a game like it should have. With plenty of game mode and plenty of content, a fun WWE experience awaits you.

‎While there are certainly still things to note about the game, WWE 2K22 is a decent improvement over its predecessor. The gameplay runs much smoother which makes the battles feel more realistic and also look more natural. Unfortunately, this has come at the expense of extensive customizations in both characters and entrances. Despite the few bugs and crashes, WWE 2K22 is a big step in the right direction.‎

The notorious wrestling franchise that has needed a soft reboot for a near decade has now arrived, undoubtedly welcomed by fans. A familiar formula that doesn't fracture the flow intended for its initial fanbase, yet promulgates all pre-existing and polished mechanics, with Visual Concepts own added twist.

WWE 2K22 fixes many of the serious bugs of the previous game and builds a solid foundation to build on with great gameplay and interesting game modes. Although minor, there are issues that need to be fixed, but there is a lot of fun to be had here.

My problem with this year's title, is that it was presented for the big change of the franchise and what I saw is a big step in the right direction, but everything somewhere was reminiscent of his old bad self.

WWE 2K22 is a massive step up in quality for the troubled wrestling franchise. The gameplay engine is in great shape, and the mode quality is mostly solid. While there are improvements to be made going forward, I'm no longer totally hopeless about the future of the series.

MyRise is fantastic, the character creation is meme-worthy world-class, and the improved gameplay mechanics align it with modern fighting games. However, it's a good taste of what's possible if the series doesn't stick to a yearly release schedule.

WWE 2K22 is the step forward that the saga needed after a year of more than necessary rest. Wrestling reclaims its throne and comes ready to give war to anyone who gets in front of it.

WWE 2K22 represents the return of great wrestling. Skipping 2K21 and delaying the launch by as much as five months may have affected the roster (a bit skimpy due to the layoffs of several superstars), but the game works great, and is chock-full of content to choose from. An excellent Rey Mysterio Showcase further embellishes the experience, and every other mode (perhaps with the exception of MyFaction) lays a solid foundation for WWE games to come. There is still plenty of room for improvement, but if you are a wrestling fan, consider WWE 2K22 a must.

2K and Visual Concepts have been able to get the WWE 2K series back on track with WWE 2K22, and in time we'll probably get the wrestling game that can be described as the best wrestling game ever.
