    In its current state with the visual issue caveat, I recommend TopSpin 2K25 if you really like tennis. It could’ve been better, but I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve put into it. I’m not sure if this will become a yearly series for 2K, but I’m glad to see TopSpin return. I look forward to seeing what future updates bring for the game.

    TopSpin 2K25 feels like a reboot of the series rather than a proper sequel. The lack of game modes really makes the title feel like it's starting from scratch and trying to nail the fundamentals before approaching more offbeat stuff. Despite the occasional missing inputs and stuttering from time to time, the game remains enjoyable enough that you'll want to master the controls and get in a few matches against others quite often. It needs work for future iterations, but for now, TopSpin 2K25 is solid enough.

    The gameplay in Top Spin 2K25 is so through that it seems out of this world. Unfortunately, the lack of simple features like playing with friends online or a really small roster of athletes will let the players with the feeling that they are playing an early access version. 2K has to support this game and franchise, we're almost at the peak.

    Not a pretty game, but with very good gameplay - that's TopSpin 2K25 in a nutshell. The king of tennis is back, but not much changed - considering the huge break the series has served us (pun intended). But maybe that's exactly what the fans needed.

    Top Spin 2K25 offers challenging gameplay for tennis fans, but struggles with technical weaknesses and pushy microtransactions.

    So far, I'm having a lot of fun with Top Spin 2K25, though there are some obvious shortcomings, like the lack of online doubles and custom matches, the very limited roster of pro players, and the too-long rallies. I'll reserve final judgment after proper testing of the 2K and World Tour modes when they go live.
