WWE 2K23 Reviews
WWE 2K23 marks the return of the series to the annual format. Although this delivery was better than the previous year's, there was scope for more significant improvements with extra development time. The new formula is solid, as the previous game had already proved. But for those who acquired WWE 2K22, this year's proposal may not have enough arguments to justify the price of a new game. There are small improvements here and there. The Tag Teams fight together in the Royal Rumble, which makes sense. War Games mode was included. But overall, it feels more like an update and not something new. It's a problem that cuts across all the annual games.

This is possibly the best game in the series in the last 15 years and it would not be surprising if many people hailed it as the best ever. The improved and faster gameplay, the cast of characters that despite having some missing, still manages to exceed 240 men and women fighters and all the beauty of the game from its menus to the character entries leaves anyone delighted with what is to see on television. Anyone who played the previous one, liked it and manages to buy this is a must-have game to put on your shelf.

WWE 2K23 is a solid wrestling title, but once you realize that most of the content is taken over from the previous entry in the series and the new game doesn't even fix the issues that were present previously, it feels like a missed opportunity.

WWE 2K23 is yet another success in the franchise. It continuous what was done in the previous entry and adds many features that wrestling fans were hoping for.

WWE 2K23 is all about improvement and refinement with this year's entry. While it doesn't bring a lot new with it to the table, there is still a lot to like with this follow-up.
Yeah, there are little hiccups, but they’re minuscule and fixable with a quick patch. The WWE franchise has entered a hot streak, with 2K23 being a considerable step forward to recapturing the glory the series once held.
Even discounting the upcoming community creations, WWE 2K23 has so much content baked in that fans should be able to play for hours on end without even scratching the surface of everything the game has to offer. Whereas WWE 2K22 was a rebuilding year for the franchise, WWE 2K23 is all about building on that foundation, offering players more bang for their buck and taking everything a step forward. There is still plenty of room for improvement for sure, but WWE 2K23 is easily one of the best WWE games of the past decade.
After taking a year off to refine the formula, WWE 2K23 is back with a bang. Graphically impressive, filled to bursting with wrestlers and content, it’s a fitting continuation for long-time fans. It’s just that little bit too overwhelming for lapsed fans that are coming in fresh, but it does at least try to accommodate.
WWE 2K23 enriches its content to deliver the best possible WWE experience to pro wrestling fans.

WWE 2K23 is a title that entertains exactly like the TV program from which it is taken. Its gameplay is simple and well-structured, with some interesting twists. However, it has its problems such as annoying bugs and underperforming servers.

The once moribund franchise continues to get better and better with WWE 2K23. The gameplay is as enjoyable as it has ever been, and the different modes featured in the title continue to be augmented with new features. There are still improvements to be had, but I remain excited to see where the franchise goes from here.
As a wrestling fan, I want to create five-star classic matches, with back-and-forth action, near falls, and iconic moments, but ultimately WWE 2K23 cannot facilitate that. Messy and overly complicated controls hamper those efforts, but it's 2K's obsession with players winning matches that ensure this professional wrestling game misses the point entirely.
WWE 2K23 is a wrestling game for everyone. With enough modes and the possibility to play as a pro as a button masher, fun is guaranteed. Both the connoisseur and someone who wants to fight over the top will enjoy this. Graphically it has its imperfections, but it is another step ahead of its predecessor.

All in all, I am really encouraged by this year’s game. They’ve made some significant improvements on some important legacy issues that have held the game back for way too long. There is a ton to do here and a lot of different ways to experience the core gameplay. Showcase remains a highlight and the expansion of MyRise continues to flesh out the series as a single player experience. I’d like to see GM mode get a significant rework next year to make it feel like a more fully fledged option and continued work on the physics around foreign objects if you are a fan of wrestling games at all, WWE 2K23 is an easy recommend.
WWE 2K23 is most definitely a redeeming title for this franchise most thought would be dead and buried. With some DLC on the way featuring some fan-favourite superstars with their own move sets and entrances. As always with games and multiple DLC there is a Season Pass available which will help to save a few £’s in the long run.
WWE 2k23 has been able to collect all the good things that had been implemented in the previous installment and has served to take a small step forward, making it the best wrestling game on the market. It is clear that if you are a fan of this saga, you cannot miss it.

From undesirable to undeniable, WWE games have come a long way in just a few years, and WWE 2K23, with its plethora of models and solid gameplay, is a strong contender for "GOAT" status.
WWE 2K3 picks up from the base thrown in last year without disrupting anything, but going on to improve several details. The John Cena-dedicated Showcase mode is interesting and varied, just as the two new My Rise stories come with more narrative care. MyGM and MyUniverse are perfect for simulation fans, while MyFaction brings FUT-style online competition for the first time. Too bad just for the dated technical compartment, but it still remains a must-have title for wrestling fans.
