    A very solid game mechanically, soiled by 2K being the publisher and pushing the MyFaction mode, and even worse, locking alternate attires and versions of wrestlers (sometimes even more current versions) behind the mode, unavailable to the free play modes (Quick Play, Universe Mode, etc.)

    The saving grace of the PC version is a better mod community than ever before, but that does not save the experience for anyone unwilling to dig into potentially hours of editing text files, understanding the database structure of the game, and learning tools made by the community. Also I can't give a game points when the devs have only ever historically made it a pain to mod.

    So overall, a solid game (mechanically the best of the 2K sim era of WWE games) hindered by 2K's monetization scheme, the dated yearly sports game model, and a feeling of disappointment in how samey it feels despite all the improvements made.    … Expand

    Folks, the new WWE 2K23 is such a massive yearly game enterprise that has brought the goods yet again for 2023. This is a great game franchise and Visual Concepts and 2K Sports have delivered. I hate to admit that even though I played the PC version, my game pad expertise wasn't up to par to begin with and I struggled to perform all of the many required finishes and special moves. However, as I slowly got used to the controls by using the great included tutorial that is narrated by Xavier Woods, it became easier. Being able to deliver John Cena's smashing "Attitude Adjustment" finishing move or Triple H's trademark "Pedigree" is something that every WWE game wrestler should strive to accomplish. Practice does make perfect and the same holds true for real wrestlers along with in-game make-believe ones too.

    WWE 2K23 is shockingly good on Steam Deck despite the few issues I ran into. If you skipped the last few years of WWE games, WWE 2K23 is worth your time. It feels like an enhanced version of WWE 2K22 that improves in all the right ways and brings some long overdue features. Just don’t come into this expecting as much of a jump in quality as you had with WWE 2K22 from prior games. In its current state, WWE 2K23 is an excellent wrestling game with tons of content, but one that is let down by its online servers.

    Building on the reasonably solid gameplay foundation of WWE 2K22, WWE 2K23 manages to finally find a comfortable spot. It is, at its core, the same general game that we get year after year. It kind of sucks that we have to keep paying for small improvements. However, small improvements got us here, and here is a pretty decent place to be.
