WWE 2K18 Reviews
The deal between 2K Games and WWE should be ended as soon as possible. The game is bleeding.

If wrestling is your thing, WWE 2K18 does just enough to make it worthy of your attention, but you'll always be left thinking that it could be so much more.
Despite few flaws WWE 2K18 is a good game but we have to consider that there is not any competitors, so the developer didn't try to publish a flawless game. all in all we suggest to play this game at least for once because of its nostalgic atmosphere.

Year after year, 2K's franchise keeps to entertain lots of wrestling lovers. Despite the lack of true innovations, WWE 2K18 is a fun experience, but after having played the last 4-5 games, people need way more than a simple step forward or a renewed visual aspect. The developers must work hard if they want to convince the audience to support this franchise one more time in the future.

It's easy to enjoy playing WWE 2K18. Wrestling games inspire a special creativity that no other sports games can match. While 2K18 feels like it misses the mark and comes in below expectations, it still offers a MyPlayer experience, eight-man matches, online competitiveness, community creations, and more. The graphics and animations are starting to grow stagnant and there aren't too many incremental improvements that can be made until there's a drastic change to the game engine, so I'm hoping that there will be an announcement about that soon.
The WWE 2K18 series is still competing with itself for not having any other wrestling game in the industry currently, a good leap from the last part but I still see that it needs a lot of development unfortunately.

While WWE 2K18 does hit enough right notes for a recommendation, it still leaves something to be desired. As much as I like the style of these newer games, I miss being able to be as nonsensical as the older ones would allow. All in all, it's a toss-up for me.
Although WWE 2K18 brings a number of changes and improvements to the long-running series, its handling of the MyCareer mode is truly baffling. Whatever ambitious qualities it might have had are buried under a snore-inducing grind. Almost everything from boots to suplexes is locked away inside loot crates. If the player wants to craft their own wrestler and guide them to glory, they're better off sticking to create-a-superstar and participating in the WWE Universe. Otherwise, their avatar is going to be a poorly-dressed schmuck with a very limited set of abilities. Take this critic's advice, and just ignore MyCareer entirely. The other gameplay modes are where the entertainment is at.
It's a real shame that WWE's return to Nintendo systems is such a poor port of a game that already had problems. Alongside the glitches and bugs known in the other releases, we have a bevy of issues here, not limited to the terrible frame rate (especially in multi-man matches), the graphics downgrade, and tedious gameplay. Fans of both Nintendo and WWE deserved better than what we got here in this port.
One can only wonder what could have been possible with a longer development cycle, though we'll probably have to wait until WWE 2K19 to see the full impact of Visual Concepts' changes to the franchise.
WWE 2K18 may be my first foray into a WWE wrestling game in many years, but I enjoyed getting quick and dirty into matches and being part of the multilayered action that incorporates a variety of attacks, grapples, and submissions. The dramatic backstage elements were too lethargic, but the Road to Glory mode offers a great reason to keep improving my custom MyPlayer's craft. There's still some fine tuning needed in the animations and general visuals, but the overall feel of a faithful WWE experience is absolute and worth the ticket price for any dedicated fan.
Featuring an enormous roster of over 200 characters with revamped gameplay, WWE 2K18 is a solid upgrade from last year's game.
The best wrestling game to date with an impressive collection of arenas, a new and improved graphics engine and an unprecedented number of wrestlers is held back by small, annoying glitches and collision detection bugs.
WWE 2K18 is not the long awaiting improvement fans have been longing for. Outdated visuals and stale gameplay prevent this game from being recommandable to those who already own one of the recent iterations of the franchise.

The most fun you can have while being brutally beaten up
WWE 2K18 may still be an a fun game for you if you've been a fan of the series over the last few years, but if you were expecting it to pull the series out of its prolonged slump, you're going to be disappointed.
WWE 2K18 makes only a modest attempt to improve on last year's offering, which means this game is still not very good.
A bad, bad game. Oh it's true, it's damn true!
When you play a modern wrestling game but come away longing for the old N64 days... that might tell you something.
Wrestling's best and brightest from the past and present collide in this main event feature! Yuke's and Visual Concepts is back with another round of top flight action inside the virtual WWE squared circle. A deluge of content is affixed as the worthy centerpiece.
