Critic Reviews for WWE 2K18
Under the better-than-ever graphics and great-as-ever core wrestling gameplay, WWE 2K18 is a largely disappointing iteration. It wastes too much of its ambition on the poorly written and dull MyCareer RPG mode, leaving its other promising modes to languish for another year. What few enhancements we get to the carry mechanics and eight-person matches are welcome, but not as much of a year-over-year refresh as would be needed to keep the excitement level as high as it's been in past years.
Exceptional when it all works, but for the third year running launch-day gremlins prohibit an even greater score.
WWE fans might get a kick out of creating their own wrestlers, entrances, and promos, but the basic mechanics won't appeal to a wider crowd
With the glitches piling up and very little in the way of innovation, WWE 2K18 continues the series' floundering output.
Featuring an enormous roster of over 200 characters with revamped gameplay, WWE 2K18 is a solid upgrade from last year's game.
While co-developer Blind Squirrel has stated publicly it is working on implementing some post-launch improvements, it doesn't change the fact WWE 2K18 ever existed in this form at all. Switch has had an incredible 2017 and played host to some truly awe-inspiring ports, but as it stands the latest slice of sports entertainment is best enjoyed elsewhere. Wrestling fans with a Switch deserve better games than this sorry jobber.
Whilst there are some changes, it doesn't feel that different from last year, and the technical issues hinder enjoyment somewhat.
WWE 2K continues to modify and improve its content on an annual basis. WWE 2K18 comes with improvements that include most of the game modes, but not the root changes or upcoming additions except the new lift system, the best character models in the history of the series, the improved lighting system and the presence of a large number of wrestlers. In the game, anyone can notice that these changes are almost minor and do not provide much difference from last year's version.
