    This WWE 2K Battlegrounds game for Nintendo Switch perfectly understands the philosophy of the show. We don't look for realism in WWE fights, but rather the spectacular, amazing, grotesque, ridiculous and funny moments... Characters that make us fall in love again.

    Microtransactions filled grindfest. All the Wrestlers have the same moveset depending on their weightclass or style. All 'Highflyers' like ReyMicrotransactions filled grindfest. All the Wrestlers have the same moveset depending on their weightclass or style. All 'Highflyers' like Rey Mysterio only have different skins. Same goes for 'Heavyweights' , 'Brawlers' etc. whats the fun in unlocking new wrestlers if they are all the same?! 1 point cause at least it runs better and isn't bug infested like previous 2k wrestling games.… Full Review »

    Combat is terrible and clunky, and is worsened by the fact that theres only what 4 or 5 styles of characters and within those styles LITERALLYCombat is terrible and clunky, and is worsened by the fact that theres only what 4 or 5 styles of characters and within those styles LITERALLY EVERY CHARACTER HAS THE SAME MOVESET AND ABILITIES! There is literally nothing that seperates Roman from The Rock except the visual difference. Absolute garbage.

    That is all not to even mention the 2K micro-transaction goldmine. This game is way overpriced in the first place for what it is, then you want to charge more for it just to play with my favorite wrestlers out of the box? Yes, you can unlock them by grinding in game, but when a game says it has a roster of contained characters I expect to be able to use all those characters when I fire the game up. Not have to choose between grinding through matches that honestly are already boring after 3-4 plays or paying more money for a superstar I want just to find out that he is gameplay-wise an exact replicant of one that I could already play with.

    Better luck next time 2K, you get a dead zero from me on this one. Can only hope WWE has the sense to move the license soon to a studio that will actually respect the fans and deliver a quality experience like THQ used to.    … Full Review »
