WWE 2K25 Reviews
WWE 2K25 is a good wrestling game and, to some extent, the best wrestling title currently available. If you're a fan of wrestling, or wrestling in general, you'll enjoy this title.

Despite capitalism rearing its ugly head, WWE 2K25, like the WWE itself, is in a stable place, a leader worth acknowledging.
"Do you think you have what it takes?" legendary WWE manager Paul Heyman asks you upon firing up WWE 2K25 for the first time. It's a familiar...
While WWE 2K25 tries to be more than just a yearly roster update thanks to its new features, the game tends to trip over itself with its ambitious new stories, while also hamstringing the PC release with strange decisions like hard-capped frame rates and locking cutscenes to 30 FPS.
WWE 2K25 is an exceptionally good video game. It's chock full of well-realised modes and is an absolute blast to play. Whether you want to duke it out against the NXT Mutiny brand in MyRise or experience the rise of the Bloodline Dynasty in Showcase mode, there's something here for every kind of wrestling fan.
Every game mode and feature in WWE 2K25 isn't going to be for everyone, and that's okay. Regardless of whether you'll spend your time battling through the campaign, taking a Bloodline history lesson or strolling around the micro-transaction-riddled The Island, what's included here is almost everything a wrestling fan could dream of. Packed with an epic roster, new match types, unbelievable creation options and smart gameplay tweaks that continue to prove the in-ring action is the best it's ever been, it's undisputed: WWE 2K25 is the best wrestling game available today. Put your ones up; because that's not a prediction, that's a spoiler.
WWE 2K25 is undoubtedly the best wrestling simulation available right now, taking over from its predecessor, which it largely builds upon. This year's Showcase mode is less engaging than last year's edition but still works well, just like the rest of the package, which remains mostly unchanged. For wrestling and gaming fans, the series remains a key reference point (and the only option on the market), but the annual release model is showing its cracks-especially with the increased focus on microtransactions this year.

The additions and improvements made in WWE 2K25 more than justify the series' annual cadence, but new mode The Island shows us a potentially grim future of monetisation and pay-to-win practices.
If you can wait, I’d highly recommend waiting for it to inevitably go on sale before buying. But if you’re a hardcore WWE fan and need your wrestling kick right now, then I’d say it’s worth the full triple-A price.
The newest WWE 2K game has finally hit the shelves. Just like every year, it's a mixed mystery bag of fun new features and glaring issues. However, there may just be enough on offer here to entice players to check out this new entry in the series.
The game feels a lot smoother when compared to prior years and between the roster size and the game modes updates, you are in for hours of enjoyable playtime. The Island is only available on PlayStation and Xbox, however, it is not something that is necessary to experience, it’s just a fun alternative option.
While not groundbreaking, the newest WWE 2K boasts stunning visuals, arguably the best wrestling sim currently available. Yet, the series struggles to evolve, with annual releases often feeling incremental rather than transformative.

WWE 2K25 is everything it needs to be. Entertaining, chaotic and fun. That being said if commentary and AI would have been improved, we could have experienced a more flawless experience.

Despite 2K's apparent focus on monetization, I can safely say that WWE 2K25 is the best wrestling game 2K has released to date. The wrestling style is tactical and distinctive, complemented by the addition of the fan-favorite Chain Wrestling feature. While some of the new features don't stand out individually, the sheer amount of content and core game modes guarantee hours of enjoyment-especially with the extensive roster of wrestlers, including both current stars and legendary icons from the past.

WWE 2K25 remains a good game, but the cracks are beginning to show. The addition of Chain Wrestling is awesome, but the increased prevalence of Trading Blows slows down the game greatly. The large roster is great, but we could do without the multiple variations of wrestlers taking up spots. The graphical presentation has quite a few blemishes that should be fixed, but it's generally good, and the same can be said for the audio if you can ignore the generic entrance music. MyRISE and the 2K Showcase are splendid, but The Island is too much of a cash grab when MyFACTION already does this. If you can ignore some of the microtransaction-heavy elements, you still have a very good wrestling game with enough content to last until the next WrestleMania season. It'll be interesting to see if WWE 2K will suddenly become the next NBA 2K in that it's a decent game that tries to bleed you of every cent.
WWE 2K25 continues the series' upward trend, with significant gameplay improvements and welcome tweaks to existing modes, including an excellent Showcase that somehow surpasses last year's. The problem is that its only setback is a pretty big one: the highly dispensable The Island.

That said, WWE 2K25 is a great game. Despite having an old engine that needs to be updated, its features and modes have truly made me acknowledge how gamers can strive for greatness when playing it. Whether you play online or compete locally, this game is sure to capture the hearts of many gamers, including WWE fans worldwide.
After years of steady growth, Visual Concepts-branded wrestling is slowing down. The main new features of the 2025 season are not entirely convincing: the Showcase dedicated to the Bloodline stable does not involve as much as those dedicated to Cena and Mysterio. That's too bad, because Visual Concepts offers the largest roster ever and introduces numerous improvements to the main game modes, perfecting wrestling in the ring even more.

WWE 2K25 surprises thanks to its content and a lot of new features that greatly improve the experience of its previous installment

It’s wise to release these games during the Road to Wrestlemania because the hype is real and circular. Watching WWE makes me want to play their games, and vice versa, so here I am living the wrestling dream.
