    WWE 2K Battlegrounds is definitely not the perfect arcade-style WWE experience, but it’s a far better game than I expected going in with minimal bugs and issues. As a workprint for the future, it’s rock-solid and can easily lead to the Battlegrounds games being a great breather between simulation-based entries in the series going forward. Hopefully we’ll see things like customizable movesets be added into future installments – but as it stands, this is a great way to enjoy some pick up and play WWE action on any gaming platform you have.

    WWE 2K Battlegrounds is the best WWE game in a long time. Its over-the-top combat leans heavily on cartoon violence, so if you’re looking for a wrestling sim, you won’t find that here. What you will get, though, is a fun, fast-paced, and lighthearted wrestling game.

    Battlegrounds is a fun little game for WWE fans. It lacks the depth of other brawlers, although if you like the competition it is based on we think you’ll enjoy it.

    WWE 2K Battlegrounds is not a bad game but we believe that its true potential has not been exploited in the least.

    WWE 2K Battlegrounds is more focused on casual players who look for a fun, simple multiplayer experience. However, the game lacks value in its content, not to mention its tendency to drive you to pay to unlock characters.

    Far less stuffy than the mainline WWE 2K series and designed for quick bursts of entertaining casual play with friends, WWE 2K Battlegrounds lack of depth and technical issues sadly undercut its energetic audiovisual presentation. Hardly the sequel to WWE All-Stars that so many wanted, WWE 2K Battlegrounds could simply be so much more - but it just... isn't.

    WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a game that seems like it exists purely to house its storefront, offering predatory microtransactions which would be overly pricy in a free-to-play game. In a paid title - even a budget one - they're offensive. The only silver lining here is that the game is rubbish anyway, so feel free to skip it without feeling like you're missing out.

I really don't know why did they made a game like this. The fighting part does not resemble wwe at all. And why did they model the wrestlers like an adult baby? The modeling part alone says "we made a lousy game but changed the modeling and gameplay so that we can persuade some players to buy it and earn extra money." Definitely don't buy this game.… Expand

I have many happy memories of old Wrestling games and hoped this might atleast have a nostalgia hit. But it did not even manage that. There are no entrances, unique movesets or fun diverse characters to try. The first problem is all the characters have the same moves. The second is that all the characters are behind a paywall. Thankfully the first problem means you will have no desire to waste money on the unlocks. Bad graphics, bad gameplay and bareley even a wrestling gameThey should be ashamed.… Expand
