    One of the most fun wrestling game since HCTP. WWE games fell way off starting with SvR and i lost interest, the arcade over the top style is exactly what we need to counter the sluggish ultra realism same year after year. i don't care how real you can make sweat look. This is a pure fun game that isn't meant to be taken seriously, don't know if it is worth £45 but since we will be gettingOne of the most fun wrestling game since HCTP.

This is a pure fun game that isn't meant to be taken seriously, don't know if it is worth £45 but since we will be getting free updates with new content i don't feel ripped off by the price, the microtransactions don't feel intrusive as you can just play campaign to unlock everything. More variety in the grapples wouldn't be to bad either. Expand

    Since standard WWE 2K21 is not coming out, we got Battleground, a more arcade-y approach to the WWE universe. Sadly Battlegrounds has basically the same problems as previous iterations. Microtransactions, bugs, dull gameplay throw shadow on a good try to refresh the franchise.

    Over-the-top action, ridiculous animations and attacks, and a cartoony reimagining of your favorite superstars aside, WWE 2K Battlegrounds is hampered by its lackluster class-based movesets, as well as a system that requires you to grind for a vast majority of superstars that still need to be unlocked. With limited customization options and game modes, it's best played in short bursts, and you'll hardly feel engaged from a single-player standpoint.

    WWE 2K Battlegrounds works as a shallow party game you play for an hour, then move on to something else, and that's it.
