WWE 2K19 is obviously best suited to wrestling fans, but if you are not a fan but looking for a fun game that you can enjoy during a night in with a bunch of mates, this game has got you covered.

From the surprisingly varied and fun single player options to the customization suites that have come into their own and endless multiplayer, WWE 2K19 is a wrestling game that feels closer to how fans picture a "wrestling game" than the series has in several years. It isn't without its issues, but the efforts to keep this ship sailing are tangible here in ways I wasn't seeing in the recent past.

2K19 may not be the best wrestling game in WWE franchise but it provides players with a decent enough wrestling simulation that they will be appeased for the current year.

I’d argue that wrestling aficionados will still find WWE 2K19 to be joyous in short spells and it’s definitely an improvement, so it’s worth a look. Maybe, just maybe, wait for a sale if you’re not entirely convinced

They don't all come out a perfect ten, but WWE 2K19 has improved on its predecessor. Even if the changes are somewhat small, they do make a difference. Unfortunately, to fully enjoy MyCareer and CAW, a lot of content has to be unlocked via randomised loot-boxes or sheer dedication to earning in-game currency. Aside from over gate-keeping the unlockables, WWE 2K19 has a lot of content under its hood, which should keep any wrestling fan entertained for quite some time.

WWE 2K19 can completely relay WWE's atmosphere. High customization with a lot of details, good story mode and good excitement are reasons why this game is one of the best WWE 2K games in the recent years. But technical issues in different parts of the game prevent WWE 2K19 to show its full potential.

WWE 2K19 is 2K's best wrestling game in the last few years, with many good changes in comparison to prior games with an astounding amount of content. MyCareer mode's story, the Showcase mode and 2K Towers deliver a lot of content that, with the great in-ring action, entertains for a long time, specially for the promotion's fans.

WWE 2K19 is not without issues, but I can't deny that I have fun stepping into the squared circle. It may not hold much appeal to non-wrestling fans, but for those who have been burned over the years, it finally feels like things are getting better. In traditional WWE fashion, I'm not sure how long this will last, though.

WWE 2K19 is not an incredible game but it's probably the best "WWE 2K" we have ever played. Despite of all of it's technical issues, lacking of proper soundtracks and other minor problem WWE 2K19 is an enjoyable game and a big improvement for the series. If you are a WWE fan, you shouldn't miss WWE 2K19

It is safe to say that WWE 2K19 takes the crown from its predecessor by giving another shot to the 2K Showcase and implementing several improvements in gameplay and sound design, and convinces the players to spend more time playing it; and although some issues are still remaining, WWE 2K series has the potential to become one of the best sports series in the coming years.

WWE 2K19 has several noticeable improvements this year and an impressive character roster. The current MyCareer mode is a welcome addition to WWE 2K19, but it needs some tweaks to make it better. This is a fun wrestling game that nonetheless has some flaws holding it back, but at least now the future looks bright for it.

It isn't perfect, but the experience has been worth the investment. WWE 2K19 has successfully pivoted the franchise in a better direction and should be enough to restore hope and faith moving forward.

WWE 2K19 struggles to meet expectations. It's a mid-card talent with potential, but is too set in its ways to leave any lasting impact.

This year's installment of digital WWE action helps the franchise climb to the position of an upper-mid card talent.

The overall package is an attractive one and there plenty in it, so the end result is fun, but I would like to see a few more chances taken with the engine or formula in the future.

WWE 2K19 manages to remedy at least in part the mistakes of the past, providing the player with a solid and rewarding experience while not being without flaws. If, over the years, this growth were to take hold, we would be able to gradually approach an ever higher quality level and increasingly exciting challenges. And we, with all our heart, hope so.

WWE 2K19, one of a kind. But WWE 2K19 does not offer new gameplay mechanics this year.
