WWE 2K22 (PS5)

Product Information

In a franchise-first, the all-new MyFACTION puts players in control of building a legendary faction that rivals the iconic nWo. This is a single-player collectible card game, along with traditional WWE 2K series gameplay. But herein lies the problem: unlike previous GM modes, you don’t quite have the same level of control and your run isn’t indefinite. Instead, you’ll play against the AI or a human opponent for a set time period, with a winner selected upon your run’s conclusion. The minutia of day-to-day management is still quite engaging, with options to sign some truly absurd fictitious free agents being a personal highlight, but we think it would have made far more sense to roll MyGM into MyUniverse, in which you’re essentially a god. Create a wrestler has some good move customisation and decent enough visual customisation, the career mode is alright and the Rey Mysterio campaign is passable.

In Superstar Mode, players follow their Superstar through matches each week, developing rivalries, starting tag teams, and competing in championship matches. Creation SuiteMaybe not the most technically accurate game, but still have a soft spot for the WWE Wrestlefest arcade game!👍 The flagship Showcase mode makes a return this year, featuring the career of cover star and legendary luchador Rey Mysterio. As with previous incarnations of Showcase mode, several of Rey’s most important matches, and one or two questionable ones, are recreated in-engine. You’ll receive prompts in the corner of the screen to perform specific spots and moves, in keeping with the match it’s based on, with in-game cutscenes periodically taking over and seamlessly transitioning into real footage of those matches. It’s a simple concept, and the objectives can occasionally be a bit obtuse, but presentation is everything here, and Visual Concepts has nailed it. Other additions include " Personas", which are starting templates for Created Superstars, the ability to tag favorite parts, filter them by Persona, and set a Parts Color theme to give your attire a consistent color scheme.

That's not to say it's all good, it isn't, there are certainly some cons too but I don't think it's as simple a decision as you make out. And 'Smart' delivery isn't always so smart. Both have their merits.
