    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. my honest review of AEW: Fight Forever for Nintendo Switch

    my background is: shut your mouth
    tna for ps2
    svr 2005,06,07 on ps2
    svr 07 was my fav game of all time
    and svr 08 for psp


    the positive:

    i really like the arcade feel of the casino battle royal, or the thumbtacks in the lights out match. that are my 2 fav things about the game. neutral: occasional visual glitches for a few seconds but tbh i don't care about them

    the clunkiness is not my favorite, like when moves randomly don't connect and the hitboxes feel off. but it would not matter if the fluidity was better

    the negative:

    Road to Elite doesn't feel like a story mode at all. It just feels like a series of matches with random minipromos and chores i don't wanna do. Like u do 4 chores a day by clicking a button and then fight a match. it's pretty boring after like 3 matches. it's all hype no delivery

    the very limited creation modes

    i don't even wanna talk about the minigames they are unneccesary

    -----

    i wish they will expand and update on the different modes with multiple wrestlers like the casino battle royal and build onto that, singles matches feel to short its like 6 moves pinfall. i simply wish for more things to do, be it in ring or the outside areas. i'd love to play lights out battle royals, or stacking ladders and tables, it feels to locked and scripted in the sense that theres not so much creative freedom with moves. i really do care about this game and hopefully it will prevail on switch    … Expand

    AEW: Fight Forever marks the arrival of a new name on console wrestling games but other than a rather competent and fun career mode, this production suffers from several flaws that need to be corrected if AEW is going to make a name for itself on wrestling video games. The unexplainable absence of popular match types and varieties, the lack of several high profile wrestlers, a below par visual display and a high sales price, coupled with many DLC packages that should have been included, make AEW: Fight Forever a game that requires considerable improvements that need to be implemented before the next incarnation.

    Fans of All Elite Wrestling should feel quite comfortable within the sometimes goofy but always engaging AEW: Fight Forever. Technically, there’s room for improvement, but the game nails the AEW tone and arcade gameplay that are the reasons many wrestling game fans have been seeking for quite some time.

    While being a good first shot at the gaming market, AEW Fight Forever has too much mediocre parts to make it a good competitor for the WWE 2K Series.
