2K. Did. Did you just make a good wrestling game TWO YEARS in a row?!


Holy shit. This game is so good. It's taken everything from the previous game and expanded on it very well this year. New options for MyGM, a funky showcase and even a new match type: WARGAMES! (God I love it when Regal says that.)

Showcase is so much fun and different this time. Instead of just playing John Cena's best matches, you actually play as Cena's greatest rivals and beat him in every match. That's fun and it works well with Cena's message throughout this showcase: Never Give Up. (Super Cena slaps by the way.)

MyRise is...goofy again. I enjoyed last year's more cause it felt more authentic for a CAW getting into the WWE. But this year's feels more gimmicky with the Lock storyline.

It's as if Vince McMahon was secretly pulling the strings when making this MyRise this year. (He's still pulling strings in WWE, let's be fucking honest.)

WarGames is such a fun match to play. I think it's my favourite match type so far on this game because of the destruction and chaos that can be unleashed in this game. I do hope they expand on the mechanics for next year as with more development, this match can be something truly special in the games.

So yeah. WWE 2K23 is even stronger as the tagline says. There's a few glitches and bugs and I do get the odd crash but the quality is very strong. I really hope now for the next game they expand more on mechanics and add even more matches. (I'd love to see First Blood or Buried Alive come back next year!) If they carry on expanding and listening to the audience, I think next year's game will be just as great.


Now. When's that AEW Game coming out? Feels like we've been waiting for that forever? But then again, considering the quality of how AEW is now. I'd probably just rather save my breath asking for it. Kek.
