Ugh, WWE 2K16 is a frustrating mess. The gameplay is decent enough, and the huge roster of wrestlers will please fans, but my god is it buggy! Weird glitches happen all the time, the career mode is boring, and the online play is super janky. It has moments where it's kinda fun, especially if you're playing with friends, but honestly, unless you're a die-hard wrestling fan, you can probably skip this one.
As a mid 30s dude, WWE (we all know it's WWF really) games hold some form of nostalgia for me. I was a kid at the height of its popularity and loved wwf warzone and attitude. If you go back now, these games are almost unplayable. The controls are mental and you need to remember a bunch of random button combinations. The later WWE games on the system realised this and have simplified things a great deal. You now just need to grapple and use the right thumbstick to pull off a variety of moves, which personally I think is a good thing. One nice thing I will mention about 2K16 is it has a stone cold story mode, where you play out scenarios from stone cold's career. As a fan of this era, that was a nice touch and it has been done well, feeling like a quality package. Aside from that, there are not a great deal of differences from the other WWE releases around this time, and unless you are a big stone cold fan, you can probably also look at 2k15 or 2k17. I quite enjoyed this one, but I'm not a huge WWE fan so take it with a pinch of salt.
I haven't seen a franchise have such a leap in quality apart from 2k15 to 2k16. They go from a visually pleasing but cut-down half-game to a well made, stacked, proper wrestling game. My only issue is the 600,000 variations of Steve Austin, couldn't all the late 90's ones just be condensed into one character?
Melhor que o jogo anterior. O modo Showcase é muito legal, mesmo usando lutadores menos conhecidos. O modo carreira é bacana até você tentar o WWE Champion, ai o jogo buga e começa a puxar a mesma rivalidade várias vezes. Fora que as promos são monótonas e existe um sistema punitivo se você tentar burlar o ranking atacando o campeão. O jogo simplesmente vai virar um Dark Souls onde o oponente vai dar reversal em TODOS os seus finisheres/signatures, e se você perder, perde também a rivalidade com o campeão.
